“Every one should discover, by experience of every kind, the extent and intention of his own sexual Universe. He must be taught that all roads are equally royal, and that the only question for him is ‘Which road is mine?’ All details are equally likely to be of the essence of his personal plan, all equally ‘right’ in themselves, his own choice of the one as correct as, and independent of, his neighbour’s preference for the other. He must not be ashamed or afraid of being homosexual if he happens to be so at heart; he must not attempt to violate his own true nature because public opinion, or mediaeval morality, or religious prejudice would wish he were otherwise.” https://library.hrmtc.com/2026/03/26/every-one-should-discover-by-experience-of-every-kind-the-extent-and-intention-of-his-own-sexual-universe-he-must-be-taught-that-all-roads-are-equally-royal-and-that-the-only-question-for-him-is/ #afraid #aleisterCrowley #all #allRoads #ashamed #atHeart #attempt #beingHomosexual #book #book220 #choice #correct #details #discover #equallyLikely #equallyRight #equallyRoyal #essence #everyKind #everyOne #experience #extent #happens #inThemselves #independent #intention #liberCCXX #liberLegis #mediaevalMorality #mine #must #mustNot #NewComment #onlyQuestion #other #otherwise #ownSexualUniverse #personalPlan #preference #publicOpinion #quote #religiousPrejudice #should #taught #TheBookOfTheLaw #trueNature #violate #whichRoad #wish

“We must not suppose for an instant that the Book of the Law is opposed to reason. On the contrary, its own claim to authority rests upon reason, and nothing else. It disdains the arts of the orator. It makes reason the autocrat of the mind. But that very fact emphasizes that the mind should attend to its own business. It should not transgress its limits. It should be a perfect machine, an apparatus for representing the universe accurately and impartially to its master. The Self, its Will, and its Apprehension, should be utterly beyond it.”
