Arbitrary heading[edit]

There are a few statements in here I'm going to go through and edit for content. Such things as "some people" and the like. There needs to be a source there in place of that. But I'm not doing that much in the way of removing the material. Zos 05:12, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cleaned up a bit of the paragraph that explained True Will as it pertains to Thelema. FUTURI (talk) 22:59, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Defintion of True Will not authoritive[edit]

Whoever wrote the first paragraph suggesting definitions for Thelemic True Will hasnt got the full picture. True Will in Thelema cant be discussed without mentioning its alignment with agape. Needs more work.--Redblossom (talk) 14:11, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your suggestion. When you feel an article needs improvement, please feel free to make those changes. Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone can edit almost any article by simply following the edit this page link at the top. The Wikipedia community encourages you to be bold in updating pages. Don't worry too much about making honest mistakes — they're likely to be found and corrected quickly.

You don't even need to log in (although there are many reasons why you might want to). Will in China (talk) 20:39, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Will In China.. what a joke. Any changes made would just be reverted by some mod. Wikipedia is a wiki that only the few can edit. This is the truth. 24.57.210.146 (talk) 05:50, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Defintion of True Will not authoritive[edit]

Agape (Love) is mentioned as a reference to Crowely's definition of True Will. That may be a prior addition by an editor. Random000 (talk) 07:36, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Justification[edit]

How do Thelemites explain how we know there is such a thing as a True Will? For example, how do we know there is such a thing as "harmony with nature" in the sense of human behavior? If Thelema is about doing your Will and isn't about blind faith, then it seems important that there should be some sort of evidence or explanation for why we can safely assume there is a True Will to be discovered in the first place. 12.144.218.74 (talk) 12:51, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ultimate goal[edit]

Isn't the ultimate goal to "accomplish the Great Work"? The article doesn't establish any equivalence between these two terms so it seems like this should be changed or we need a more in depth explanation of the reason this would take precedence here over the Great Work, Skyerise (talk) 22:44, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Related to this, I don't think there is currently any coverage of the practice of "saying will" in any of the Thelema articles. You'll notice that "True Will" doesn't figure in the stated goals at all, only the Great Work. Skyerise (talk) 22:48, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
