Burning Bridges Behind Me



"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Love is the law, love under will.
There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt."

For those of you who don't recognize it, what is written above is the law of Thelema as promulgated by Aleister Crowley. The way Crowley expressed it is that every person has a True Will or Destiny which he or she is supposed to attain during his or her lifetime. A person who follows his or her True Will is supposed to meet with success in all of his or her endeavours. Failing to follow one's True Will dooms one to ignominious failure.

The events of the last 10 months have led me to the conclusion that it is time for me to move out of the place where I am living. If that is what my True Will is trying to tell me, then, at least in theory, my life should improve after moving out of here.

I have taken the first step, and sent a registered letter to the landlord, saying that I am not going to renew my lease on this apartment when it expires on June 30, 2009, even if I win at the Rental Board.

Let us see if the Law of Thelema actually works.

  1. I have been waiting for this Jack. You are doing the right thing. It had to be of your own free will, but it is the place you have been guided to.
    It is very good. Now go find your new home. Look for a place where the landscaping, a garden of sorts, a park maybe, draws you.
    That will be your sign.

  3. The Tarot card of Death represents transformation through change. The Sun is waxing in the heavens, wax with Him, sunny Leo!
