THE TRUE WILL

The forgoing demonstrates how it is that there are
so many different versions of 'truth'. One's particular
view is almost arbitrary. Although numerous religions,
philosophies, and occult systems abound, they do not
contradict one and other as much as it might appear.
Rather, they describe the same (universal) reality taken
from different perspectives. For there can be no ultimate
truth in the physical world. We can only base our actions
upon assumptions and agreements. All experience is
subjective.
Yet, there is a separate reality within each of us
which is often ignored unless we seek it. This inner self
is in magick called the 'true will'. The true will is the
center of consciousness and identity. It is the 'real you'.
Everything else is an interface or link to it from the
outer (illusory) world. Since that interface is based upon
our model, it is conditoned and may sometimes produce false
information. 'Do what thou wilt' (Crowley) is an axiom of
magick; for the true will expresses our exact desires. And
what we truly want ('down deep') we tend to automatically
get. This isn't always in our best interests, since the
true will can be conditioned (tricked) by the illusion; and
then we might desire and obtain that which is not
ultimately good for us. (Karma strikes again!) The task of
the magician therefor is to awaken his awareneess of the
true will, to be free of conditioning, and thereby to
transcend maya. ('My will unconditioned is magical' --
Spare).
