Manifesto 1. The Stellar Gnosis of Bipolar Zero (i.e. Nuit and Hadit) is the Ideal of the Order of A.`.A.`. and of the Hermit grade (see Liber AL vel Legis, I: 40, for the three grades). 2. The Ideal of the Order of R.`.C.`. and the grade of the Lover is the life of an Immortal Star in the Company of Heaven (see Liber AL vel Legis, I: 1-4). 3. The Ideal of the Order of G.`.D.`. and the Man of Earth grade is the Knowledge & Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. The spiritual Law of Thelema declares that the universe is created by the division of an intelligent infinity into individual units of consciousness or stars and that every man and every woman is such a star. Through the process of division underlying creation each star experiences separate existence, undergoing suffering and death. Yet the division is that which creates the possibility of love. The "unfragmentary" intelligence that divides herself for the sake of love is called Nuit. By the love of Nuit the star attains a spiritual destiny and is no longer ruled by the blind forces of fate or chance. The soul is thus able to overcome the forces of time and death and has a chance of obtaining the Immortal Stone of the wise. The Law of Thelema reveals, through magical Initiation, that the division underlying creation has a meaning and a purpose. The pain of division is as nothing compared with the joy bestowed by Nuit - who created the world for that joy. Through the magical application of the Law of Thelema a star may know this joy on earth as well as upon physical death. For even physical death can no longer then separate a star from its immortal birthright. Thelema is first and foremost a path of self-knowledge revealing the true identity of each star. Individuals fulfil a particular role in creation according to their True Will. The core tenets of Thelema are outstandingly simple: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" and "Love is the law, love under will." Thelema is the law of love - the spiritual intelligence or True Will that unites and harmonises all things. It is therefore a law based on relationship. The universality of the law rests upon the fact that it is particular and inclusive, respecting differences between stars and recognising that each complements the rest. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill of love! Liber AL vel Legis, I: 12  Copyright © Ordo Astri
