Thus there is nothing negative or positive in itself. It is only our subjective reactions to conditions which make them so. All is relative to the psychology of the individual. In this light, no one can really hurt a Warrior of Thelema. Thus there are no real obstacles for the Warrior of Thelema.
All ordeals are steps to success in the Great Work of Initiation.
And to the Warrior of Thelema, success is the word of hir nature, for success is the fulfillment of hir Will. Thelemic Warriors, who strive to be Masters, do their own Will, whereas cowards and slaves do not. The Will is the Psychological Weapon of the Warrior of Thelema. From a psychological point of view, the principal function of the Will is to control all of the other psychological functions, to regulate and direct them into proper channels for creative self-expression. The Will is central to our personality and is directly linked to the core of our being.
