Exactly the point, action implies a respocibility for the
action and it's meaning. Here i use the NLP assignment for the word
meaning - e.g. The meaning of an action is the responce it generates.
The tougher part of the "Law of Thelema" is the second line-
"Love is the Law; Love under will."
Crowley wrote reams on the relation of Love Law and Will, and did indepth
phenomenologic analysis on their "meanings". Not being a Thelemite
myself the analyses of the phrase are eligant and intriguing, but what
they "mean" in the universe is all thought and little action.
Your thoughts?
