POWER
Crowley had it wrong. The real way to look at things is as follows:
Power is the Law.
Power and Will.
Do what you will IS the whole of the Law.
Psionics is about one thing and one thing only--power. It is a means of getting things done that cannot be done by other means. It is subject to no human authority. It does not matter whether others think the purpose is good or ill. It is of no importance what any community thinks about it.
Psionics is beyond all such petty considerations of love and family and world. It is only concerned with the individual using it, his desires and goals, his ends and to the attainment of those ends the means are irrelevant as long as they work. It is not merely a question of the ends justifying the means for there is no need for justification. It really does not matter if what we do fits or does not fit anyone else's moral system.
We do it.
It works.
If they are foolish enough not to like it, too bad for them.
The poor Wiccans walk on magick as if they were walking on eggshells, oh so worried that what they do might not fit into their imagined system of what is right and proper. Psionics folk walk on their eggshells with hobnailed boots, uncaring about such things for we know that other people's ideas of right and proper are not worth anything more than a good laugh as we flaunt their morals to their faces.
After all, half the fun of doing this stuff is knowing the impotent disapproval that it causes.
