tlema

tlema refers to a system of beliefs and practices associated with the spiritual teachings of the Thelema. Thelema was founded by Aleister Crowley, an English writer and occultist, in the early 20th century. At its core, Thelema posits the belief that each individual has a unique True Will, which is their inherent destiny and purpose in life. The central tenet of Thelema is encapsulated in the phrase "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." This is not interpreted as a license for hedonism, but rather as a call to discover and rigorously follow one's True Will without deviation or compromise.

Thelema incorporates elements from various religious and philosophical traditions, including Hermeticism, Kabbalah, Tantra, and Buddhism. It is often described as a religion or a philosophy, with its adherents engaging in rituals, meditation, and self-exploration to understand and enact their True Will. Thelema also emphasizes the importance of love under will, another key concept that suggests all actions should be motivated by and aligned with one's True Will. While Crowley is the most prominent figure associated with Thelema, the system itself is presented as a universal science and art of living, intended to be applicable to all individuals.
