Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Charles Stansfeld Jones

 

     

 

 

Titusville, Fla.

 

 

10/3/17.

 

 

Beloved Son,

 

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

 

The more one says the law, the more one assimilates it. If I were not so tired, I would issue a pastoral. Make all these people use Do etc., and Love etc., in season and out of season, like a mantra. The effect cannot fail.

     

You are getting the Freemasonry right, so far as you go. I had your last effort, with sqs. and triangle, this A.M. But you must show yet more; show that this word is exact and complete, and that no other would do. Otherwise someone could invent a better word.

     

Please mail the enclosed. I want a double chance against ruthlessness.

     

I have been writing letters since 7; it is now three. I get no food in this place; I'm bored stiff, yet I feel limp. I am beginning to wish for a breeze. I guess the Equinox will bring a new current. I'm quite fed up; nothing doing on any plane.

 

Love is the law, love under will.

 

With all paternal benedictions,

 

Θ
