- Do freely that which does no harm. (That which may harm is done when unavoidable.)
- You can only know one person, and that is yourself. (And learning to know yourself is the most important lesson there is.)
- There is only one thing worth chasing–Your true will. (Everything else is provided for you if you but look.)
- There is no learning where there is no dissent. (For only by finding that which we disagree with do we know what we agree with.)
- No one is your superior and no one is your inferior. (But you are held to a higher standard then those who do not know their will.)
- Education is more valuable than money or magick. (Better you should become educated and decide to change your faith than always follow without reason.)
- The ability to express yourself clearly is the finest ability. (The Magus’ word is law, that law must be clear.)
- Better you should die than charge others for your knowledge of the Craft and the Law. (Professional teachers are not the same as philosophers. Philosophers teach for love alone.)
- Honour the ancestors with Truth. (The Ancestors will not be called that they did not call themselves.)
- Skin color, gender preference, gender and religion are unimportant. (Only Behaviour matters.)
- Better to be called a bad person than speak falsehood. (Truth is preferable to policy… at all costs.)
- A contemplative life is the only life spent wisely. (Better to die a smart pauper than a dumb millionaire.)
- Find what you are at all costs. (Do not deny your family or your calling. Honour your ancestral obligations.)
- Do not make yourself a burden to those who would not carry you gladly, and then never without good cause. (In a nation of helpers, those who need help come first.)
- Revisionism in faith is the first evil. Those who fall into its trap never escape. (Cite sources, ask questions, do not repeat “what is said.”)
