True Will: What it is, how to discover it, and what to do with it

The concept of "True Will" is of paramount importance to Thelema.
Without a solid understanding of True Will, Magick is a hit-or-miss proposition.
The first task of every Thelemite should be to discover his or her True
Will. Although each individual must accomplish this discovery for him or
herself, the O.T.O. may assist by providing a supportive environment and tools for
the magician to use in his or her quest. To this end, Frater SLQ presents
his class entitled "True Will: What it is, how to discover it, and what to do
with it."
The class will cover the the theory of the True Will in terms of
Thelemic doctrine and psychology, introduce practical techniques for discovering
it, and discuss what to do with it once you've found it. The class promises to
be enlightening for beginners and experienced magicians alike.
