Question 23

What is Thelema?

Answer 23

A social or spiritual philosophy derived from Western esotericism. While it is often regarded as a religion – a new spiritual religious movement in particular- it is also referred to as a philosophy, “religious philosophy”, “spiritual philosophy” or “religious matrix”.

Question 24

What is Western esotericism?

Answer 24

Western esotericism is a term under which scholars have categorised a wide range of loosely related ideas and movements which have developed within Western society.
One scholarly model adopts its definition of “esotericism” from certain esotericist schools of thought themselves, treating “esotericism” as a perennialist hidden, inner tradition. A second perspective sees esotericism as a category that encompasses world-views which seek to embrace an “enchanted” world-view in the face of increasing de-enchantment. A third views Western esotericism as a category encompassing all of Western culture’s “rejected knowledge” that is accepted neither by the scientific establishment nor by orthodox religious authorities.

Question 25

What does it mean under Thelema that “Every man and every woman is a star.”?

Answer 25

This is usually taken to mean that each individual is unique and has their own path in a spacious universe wherein they can move freely without collision.

Question 26

What does this mean under Thelema?

“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” and “thou hast no right but to do thy will.” Mean under Thelema?

Answer 26

Most Thelemites hold that every person possesses a True Will, a single overall motivation for their existence. The Law of Thelema mandates that each person follow their True Will to attain fulfilment in life and freedom from restriction of their nature. Because no two True Wills can be in real conflict (according to “Every man and every woman is a star”), this Law also prohibits one from interfering with the True Will of any other person.

Question 27

What does this mean under Thelema?

“Love is the law, love under will.”

Answer 27

This is an important corollary to the above, indicating that the essential nature of the Law of Thelema is that of Love. Each individual unites with his or her True Self in Love, and so empowered, the entire universe of conscious beings unites with every other being in Love.
Of course, with the emphasis on freedom and individuality inherent in Thelema, the beliefs of any given Thelemite are likely to differ from those of any other. In the Comment appended to The Book of the Law it is stated that: “All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself.” Although Thelema is sometimes referred to as a “religion”, it accommodates the full range of individual beliefs, from atheism to polytheism. The important thing is that each person has the right to fulfil themselves through whatever beliefs and actions are best suited to them (so long as they do not interfere with the will of others), and only they themselves are qualified to determine what these are.

Question 28

When was Thelema developed?

Answer 28

the early 1900s

Question 29

Answer 29

Aleister Crowley

Question 30

Question 31

What did Aleister Crowley believe?

Answer 31

An adherent of Thelema is a Thelemite.

Question 32

Question 76

Transliteration is ________ primarily concerned with representing the sounds of the original but rather with representing the characters, ideally accurately and unambiguously. Thus, in the above example, λλ is transliterated as ‘ll’, but pronounced /l/; Δ is transliterated as ‘D’, but pronounced /ð/; and η is transliterated as ‘ē’, though it is pronounced /i/ (exactly like ι) and is not long.
Conversely, transcription notes the sounds but not necessarily the spelling. So “Ελληνική Δημοκρατία” could be transcribed as “elinikí ðimokratía”, which does not specify which of the /i/ sounds are written as η and which as ι.
