RE: "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law" - Part One
People have the wrong interpretation of "Do What Thou Wilt."
Life is a flower, wilt thyself. Meaning life is what you make of it. The Buddhist would say, "All life is suffering." So if we are all slowly dying then we need to be having the best most greatest time of our lives while we are alive on this planet.
The meaning of life is to have a life of meaning. I say, "life begins with an empty canvas. So paint you a good life."
While I love your theory, it doesn't sound like it would be one shared with Crowley, who I now know adopted this from an earlier story. I hope to read the series in future, and perhaps in that one it will mean yours, and we will find that it was simply Crowley who perverted it. But, based on what I read about the novel series on wikipedia, it sounds unlikely at this point.
The word was more popular in his day and seems to be gaining traction again. Probably because of everyone talking about this phrase though. Lol.
