Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Charles Stansfeld Jones
Cefalů Sicily I hope, in 10 days [illegible]
Oct 17 1922
My beloved Son,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I shouldn't drop anything on account of Detroit. "Work your bloody guns!" (Kipling) People will respect you for sticking to them: opportunists never succeed in the long run.
The manifesto implies 93, however, so that's all right. The green card is rather hard to swallow; but you are dealing with imbeciles lower than the cattle they slaughter; so go ahead. I think you are quite wrong, however, to steal [illegible] silly "slogan" (help!) Please replace it by a quotation from Liber AL (CCXX)
E.g.
I 10. I12. I 40 last ¶ I 44 I 57 ¶ 2 [illegible] II.9. II 77 III 17 ¶ 1 or last ¶ III 58 – 66 VII 69 or from some other Class A books
I should have cords of diverse colours with appropriate mottos and the medals made of the right metals. Use on different days of the week, of for different purposes. But make it clear that the modus operandi is the getting into a semi-Samadhic state, or on to the [illegible] or [illegible] planes mentally. [illegible] is now being quite discredited here because the method of "cure" has not been understood. Obviously, the timing is everything.
Love is the Law, love under will.
Your devoted sire,
666.
Also O.S.V. First of your borrowed members alias The Sublime IT!
