This is more commonly just called The Comment. Although it distinctly applies to Liber AL vel Legis some have understood it to apply to The Holy Books of Thelema.
The text
- Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
- The study of this Book is forbidden. It is wise to destroy this copy after the first reading.
- Whosever disregards this does so at his own risk and peril. These are most dire.
- Those who discuss the contents of this Book are to be shunned by all, as centres of pestilence.
- All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself.
- There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
- Love is the law, love under will.
- The priest of the princes,
- Ank-F-N-Khonsu
