Dear friends, beautiful and happy people,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
My sojourn in the Bahamas continues — to the point that some, — very well versed in judicial arcana, — wonder if it will ever end — and the plebs take advantage of it to write me anxious and deplorably bluesy letters (you know who you are…)
Drop this loser attitude! — The strong moments of existence are like pit bulls: they sense if you are afraid.
And none of this really bothers me… I have an absolutely supernatural capacity for resilience — it’s genetic.
Amor fati constitutes, moreover, for us Thelemites, a religious obligation, almost an identity marker.
A Thelemite is, according to the famous formula: “lover of Nuit, disciple of Hadit, servant of Ra-Hoor-Khuit”.
Now since Hadit said: “I am Life, and the giver of Life” (AL II:6), a man who feels bitterness or resentment toward life feels bitterness and resentment, not only toward the Teaching that Hadit imparts to him, but toward Hadit himself!
No matter how “excellent” his reasons may be — he cannot, under any circumstances, claim to be a Thelemite.
I insist: incarnate life IS “the Cruel Tutelage of Hadit”: the training residence you carry out under the direction of the Old Serpent of Edfu — Hence fundamental Shumulism: every ordeal is a compliment.
Apart from that — and in a wonderfully cheerful tone, on the other hand — Soror Neferusobek asks me what are my (I quote) “good resolutions for 2026”.
Here they are:
1. To love Nuit even more.
Of course, I already rush into every Ritual as though it were a romantic rendezvous with the celebrity crush of my adolescence — and I devote to Nuit’s earthly representative — my wife Chloé — a cult whose fervour worries the prison shrink.
I mean: I think of Chloé 24/7 as Romeo Montague thought of Juliet, as Tristan thought of Isolde, as Don Quixote thought of Dulcinea — but it is not enough.
This year, I want to reach the state in which Majnun was in relation to Layla — to hear “Chloé” in every sound and see Chloé in every occurrence.
2. To be even more Hadit.
I already see existence as a training stay in Hadit’s House, that is to say exactly as Beatrix Kiddo sees her training stay in Pai Mei’s house. But it is not enough.
This year, I want to achieve a total psychological transference onto Hadit, to achieve the total annihilation of my personality, so as to see the world only through the eyes of the Old Serpent.
3. To serve Ra-Hoor-Khuit even better.
I intend to have, toward the Lord of the Æon, the relationship that, in his Hagakure, Yamamoto Jocho prescribes for the Samurai toward his Daimyo, but more fanatical.
To make myself methodically, each day, a little more fanatical in my Promulgation.
There you go :)
Meditate upon this, dear friends, and go your gorgeous ways under the protection of that spiritual sphere whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere, and which we call GOD.
Warm kisses from the Bahamas.
Love is the law, love under will.
