Aeon, thanks for explaining.
I find this all interesting, because in my church we always talk about the Spirit of the Law as opposed to the Letter of the Law. As in, we need to find out directly what God wants us to do, recognize that the commandments are more of a basic guidelines.
So Thelema doesn't see anything wrong with Osirian ethics (thou shalt do this, and having a role model)? Crowley just thought of himself as teaching a more efficient ethical principle?
