RE: The Rainbow Gathering: 5 Decades of Beta-Testing Anarchist Society (Part 1 of 5)

in #philosophy8 years ago

i am reminded of a quote by Aleister Crowley... "do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, love is the law, Love under will" . Thelemites and anarchist are not too far off from each other in a broad sense.

Sort:  

Oh ya. Certainly most of the the Thelemites I've known are anarchists as well. I used to go to mass at the OTO temple in Portland before I started traveling, tons of amazing people :-)

i would love to travel but unfortunately i do not have the means to travel. i have never even been out of michigan.

The means to travel? You mean a physical body? I quit my job, gave away my belongings, and left Portland with $200 in my pocket to head to the Rainbow Gathering in South Dakota, June of 2015, and I've been on the road since. I'm in Acapulco, Mexico right now :-)

"do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, love is the law, Love under will"
I challenge you to argue that it doesn't mean simply "do what you will, blah blah blah" which has nothing to do with the philosophy of the world (animals included) "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and the basic tenet of anarchy "no rulers".
