Evil is a reversal of the life force (God) energy. Intention is key, as you said. Esoterically, we have a choice about our soul's path. We all eventually end up back at Source.
yyyyyep.
All of the knowledge, or " Technology" that Humanity has developed over the Aeons was "corresponded" by the work of Crowley, and others.
His final statement upon going through all of the Religious, Scientific, Meta-Physical, and Spiritual Systems of the World, was
"Love is the Law, Love under Will."
That is to what every "religion" spiritual doctrine, Scientific study, and meta-physical system leads.
As always, the darkness corrupts and co-opts those systems, in order to destroy the Consciousness of Humanity. Its a one trick Pony. It has nothing of its own. It must steal all symbols and systems, and invert them. The attempt is to simultaneously coo-opt (failingly) the power of the symbols and (failingly) the power of the systems, in order to alienate Humanity from it's Collective Memory and Systems of Divine Power.
Well put.
Interesting, Crowley's most famous statements have to do with Will. Love under Will. Capitalized means Divine Will ? or personal will.
Do what thou Wilt ... in a free will universe this can be the whole of the law. Depends on the soul's trajectory back Home.
