Letter 4: THE EMPEROR

"The less superficial a person is -- and the more he knows and is capable of -- the greater is his authority. To be something, to know something and to be capable of something is what endows a person with authority. One can also say that a person has authority in proportion to what he unites within himself of the profundity of mysticism, the direct wisdom of gnosis and the productive power of magic. Whosoever has this to a certain degree can "lay down the law."  --VT
