Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Thursday, 31 May 1917
I have completed Opus[1] 4, 5, 6 with the Object of the Promulgation of the Law. It appears that I should concentrate wholly on this, leaving it to Those invoked forces to arrange the details. I know the other way, the way of doing one petty operation after another is more interesting and more spectacular; but I think the only valid reason for using it is that one can follow one’s work better, and the point of this is strongest when one does not know much about the Method. In other words, the real Adept should go straight to the point. However, am I such an adept—so far? I still do operations now and then which produce the exact contrary of the desired result. But in doing an op[eratio]n which is in actual harmony with one’s whole karma-Will, such accidents should be impossible.
1—Crowley performs a magical sexual operation.
