"...not only does it seem to me the only conceivable way of reconciling
this and similar passages with "Every man and every woman is a star." to
assert the sovereignty of the individual, and to deny the right-to-exist
to "class-consciousness," "crowd-psychology," and so to mob-rule and
Lynch-Law, but also the only practicable plan whereby we may each one of
us settle down peaceably to mind his own business, to pursue his True
Will, and to accomplish the Great Work.
So never lose sight for a moment of the maxim so often repeated in one
context or another in these letters: that fear is at the root of every
possibility of trouble, and that "Fear is failure, and the forerunner of
failure. Be thou therefore without fear; for in the heart of the coward
virtue abideth not."
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,

Crowley. I've seen postcards and short letters in the Montgomery Evans

Being a confirmed coward, I take a bit of objection to this. I am often
afraid, but generally that doesn't stop me from doing what I need to do.
Fear isn't the end of reason, any more than is any other emotion.
