I compare this quote by Aleister Crowley:

Quote:"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." - Aleister Crowley, The Book of the Law

With this quote from St. Augustine:

Quote:"Love and do what you will." - Augustine (354-430). A sermon on love.

This is tricky. From a low level of consciousness it can be interpreted as a promotion of doing nasty things. When seeing love as oneness in harmony, then it becomes more clear because then "do whatever you want" will be good actions. From an even higher perspective, even the Crowley quote is justified when seeing everything as love, but it can easily be interpreted as a permission slip to be immoral.
