Correspondence from Aleister Crowley to Louis Umfreville Wilkinson
9 Feb 43
93 Jermyn St. London, V. 1
Dear Louis
Do What Thou Wilt is the Whole of the Law.
I am sorry I could only see you for such a short time last week, and that time eaten up by Mrs. Cunninghame. We must really get together and talk seriously at some length. I am up to my eyes in the Grand Design. I want to get some pamphlets written. I should think from 500 to 1000 words apiece; and this is the sort of thing:—
1) The Law of Thelema is the golden mean between the two opposing totalitarian methods.
2) The Law of Thelema as the responsible means of government.
3) Desuetude of the old sanctions over parochialism. Thelema is based on facts equally true for all men, and is the only convincing excuse for government at all. The man himself answers the question of “Why should I?”
4) Thelema is each man’s guide in life, his righteousness, his root of confidence.
5) Education. To depend on the will of the childl which guided by skilled observation.
6) The master-slave dichotomy.
7) Why Christianity is useless.
I thought I would let you know what is in my mind so say when we next foregather.
Love is the Law, Love under Will.
Yours ever
Aleister
