NOTE: This is the paperback edition. Thelema Sutras? What kind of nonsense is this? Well, in short, it's the kind of nonsense IAO131 enjoys writing. Sutras are Eastern texts, specifically those of Hinduism and Buddhism. They come in many forms and many styles, but they represent the various manifestations of the Light of the Gnosis as they appeared throughout the East. Thelema Sutras approaches the self-same Mysteries of the Western Tradition but with the style and attitude of someone from the East rather than the typical Hermetic-Qabalistic-Occultist approach. Thelema Sutras contains several texts in the style of Hindu Upanishads as well as some in the style Buddhist sutras. Included in the middle of the book is 'The Lost Sutra of Harold, ' a humorous interlude that tackles things from Western philosophy to astral travel to transcending logic to the Holy Guardian Angel.
