Do what thou whilt shall be the whole of the law.
Christianity, with Jesus and the New Testament, claims to be the updated form of Judaism. Islam, with Muhammad and his Quran, claims to be the updated form of both of them. They form a chain of succession.
The Baha’i faith claims to be the next step after Muhammad and the Quran; that of Baháʼu’lláh with his Kitáb-i-Aqdas. His holy book is largely instructional and has very little narrative. The bulk of it is made up of rules to follow.
The Faithists claim the same succession from Christianity as Islam does, but with John Newbrough and his Oahspe. It’s a pretty bizarre tome and it’s massive. I haven’t studied it in depth though I do own a copy.
Thelema falls among these as well with Aleister Crowley and his Book of the Law. It’s the succession of Islam. Crowley received The Book of the Law from the Angel Iwass much like Muhammad did from the angel Jibril.. It’s the succession of Islam. The Book of the Law and the other Holy Books of Thelema are the new holy book for the new æon; the æon of Horus, the crowned and conquering child. It is the æon of the individual. Muhammad is a Thelemic saint, and a new Kaaba is Boleskine House.
“Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs. Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa, who also are one. But they are not of me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating.” –The Book of the Law I:49
Love is the law, love under will.
