Thelema as a Compliment

Do What Thou Wilt Shall be the Whole of the Law.

In this post I would like to discuss a facet of the universality of Thelema. My aim is to dis-spell the notion that Thelema requires an individual to give up their traditional religious views. I have been told by many people that, although Thelema makes perfectly good sense to them, they can't abandon their religious upbringing.
Well, I can certainly understand that, and I wouldn't ask anyone to do so.
Thelema is a philosophy. It is a culmination of centuries of thought and wisdom. Most of the basic ideas that are in Liber Legis are not new ideas at all. Ideas from Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism can be found through out the Holy Books of Thelema. What is revolutionary about this system is the harmony it brings to these ideas as they work together. Thelema does not ask you to abandon any truth you may hold, it only requires you to be honest with yourself.
If it is your Will to be a Christian, and to live in accordance with the word of Jesus, Thelema only asks that you give 100%. It is written in Liber Legis, "Thou hast no right but to do thy Will. Do that and no other shall say nay."(Liber Legis 1:42-43). The great part about philosophy is that it can be applied to almost anything. If it is your Will to be a Buddhist, "Do What Thou Wilt." No Thelemite anywhere is going to try to stop you from nurturing your spirit. That's the whole point of our system, spiritual growth and development.
So, in closing, I would like to re-iterate that Thelema is a Philosophy. It is a culmination of eastern, and western wisdom, and it is a great compliment to almost any religion.
Love is the Law, Love Under Will.
