On the habits of the aspiring Adept

 

Aspiring to the wider and deeper life of the Adepts, one nurtures and develops the flame of Spirit which will shine within. Thus is the animal nature altered as poise is developed along the lines of spiritual experience as it affects that nature. Therein is the secret of aligning oneself with the nature of one's perfected orbit as a state of free-fall whence the inertia of the universe allies itself in conformity with the Will of the individual. Such simple daily habits as delineated below form the basis of this spiritual life.

Note that the Law is the delineation of the natural truth of the universe. Our Lady Nuit is all and is in all that exists. Therefore, if thy success wounds or restricts the freedom of another, it is not a true success, it is a failure and hence, a sorcery. And one's understanding of the nature of one's True Will is in need of better realization. Always keep in mind the lessons taught in Liber Librae.

Refine your rapture with the participation in the genteel and cultural history and develop your sophistication along these lines. Seek to educate yourself and know that true social change starts in your own backyard. Enter into debate and disputes with the goal of seeking to learn and not with the goal to win. Accept all criticism of others with an open mind and with a valuing of the perspective of those others. Yet fight always to defend your integrity and liberty along the lines of Liber OZ.
