Thelema (Crowley)

Thelema est religio in lege philosophica eiusdem nominis condita, quae pro primo dogmate a nonnullis organizationibus religiosis adsumpta est. Regula Thelemae est "'Fac quod vis' erit omnis lex. Amor est lex, amor per voluntatem."^[3] Evoluta est lex Thelemae ab Alexandro Crowley, scriptore et magus Anglico saeculi vicensimi ineuntis.^[4] Credidit sese esse propheta aevi novi, Æon Hori, secundum experientiam spiritualem quem is et Rosa Editha uxor in Aegypto anno 1904 habuerant.^[5] Per hunc relatum, entitas fortasse incorporealis vel "praeterhumana" se Aiwass appellans eum contigit, et textum Librum AL vel Legis dictavit, qui principia Thelemae adumbravit.^[6] Adsectator Thelemae est Thelemita.

Vide etiam paginam fere homonymam: Thelema (Rabelaesus).

Pantheon Thelemicum nonnullas amplectitur deitates, praecipue trinitatem ex religione Aegyptica antiqua accommodatam, qui tres oratores Libri Legis sunt: Nuit, Hadit (Horus), et Ra-Hoor-Khuit. Crowley autem has deitates merum commodum litterarium appellavit.^[7] Religio fundatur in notione saeculum vicensimum initium notavisse Aeonis Hori, cum homines nova praecepta ethica sequerentur: "Fac quod vis omne ius erit" scripsit.^[8] Hoc dictum adseverant adsectatores, Thelemitas appellatos, eorum viam veram, eorum verum arbitrium notum, petere et sequi debere,^[9] potius quam sua desiderata egotistica.^[10] Haec philosophia etiam magiam usum ritualem exprimit.

Vocabulum thelema est translitteratio nominis Graeci Koine θέλημα 'voluntas', ex verbo θέλω 'velle, cupere, in animo habere'. Crowley, cum religionem evolveret, latissime de hac re scripsit, scripta parens una Libros Sacros Thelematis appellata. Praeterea, notionibus usus est ex occultismo, yoga, et mysticismo Orientali et Occidentali captas, imprimis Kabala.^[11]

Vocabulum θέλημα rarum in Graeca classica est, ubi "voluntatem appetitvam significat: desiderium, aliquando etiam sexualem."^[12]^[13] Sed in Septuaginta crebro invenitur.^[14] Scripta Christiana prima vocabulum aliquando adhibent ad attingendam arbitrium humanum,^[15] et etiam arbitrium Diaboli, adversarii Dei,^[16] sed plerumque ad nutum divinum alludit.^[17] Exemplum notissimum in Patre Nostro (Matthaeo 6:10) invenitur: "Adveniat regnum tuum. Fiat voluntas [Θελημα] tua, sicut in caelo et in terra." Deinde in eodem evangelio (Matthaeo 26:42) legitur: "Iterum secundo abiit, et oravit, dicens: Pater mi, si non potest hic calix transire nisi bibam illum, fiat voluntas tua." Augustinus, in homilia de Epistula I Ioannis 4:4–12, doctrinam similem dedit: "Dilige et quod vis fac."^[18]^[19]

Aetate Renascentiae, quidam persona, Thelemia appellata, voluntatem vel desiderium repraesentat in Hypnerotomachia Poliphili Francisci Columnae, monachi Dominicani. Poliphilo antagonistae sunt duo duces allegorici, Logistica (ratio) et Thelemia (voluntas, desiderium). Eligere coactus, confectionem suae voluntatis sexualis contra logicam eligit.^[20] Opus Columnae Franciscum Rabelaesum, monachum Franciscanum magnopere movit, qui Thélème saeculo sexto decimo adhibuit, Francicam vocabuli formam, ut nomen abbatiae ficticiae in mythistoria satyrica Gargantua.^[21] Sola abbatiae regula Francogallice fuit fay çe que vouldras sive "Fac quod vis". Franciscus Dashwood Eques medio saeculo duodevicensimo hoc adagium super ostia suae abbatiae ad Medmenham posuit,^[22] ubi erat pro sententia sodalitatis The Hellfire Club.^[23] Mentio Abbatiae Thelemae Rabelaesianae fit a scriptoribus posterioribus Gualterio Besant Eques et Iacobo Rice in eorum mythistoria The Monks of Thelema (1878), et C. R. Ashbee in The Building of Thelema ('Aedificatio Thelemae', 1910), romantia utopiana.
