"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law" is Thelema, not something needed nor prescribed for being a Luciferian (unless, as many a case on saidit, Luciferianism is just slang for some 'big baddies inc.' used by TV-evangelists).

This phrase is also often misunderstood as saying "lol you can do anything" for some weird reason. The phrase is clear even without context: What you do is your own made law, the only law you adhere to. This contrarily to false/popular belief means a great burden is given to you by this knowledge, you can't blame anyone nor anything but yourself, how you live is what you are.

The text from the video is more akin to Gnostic believes (I played through AC 1 and saw the 'secret'-movie clips from 2) and the world of illusion theme and the self-reliance (truth comes from within, no-one can tell you the truth, just allude to it or lie [both un- and intentionally]).

but it is powerful - and can be understood as the motivation for certain actions that appear unthinkable.

Yes, voluntary work to help the ones in need has been a rather 'unthinkable' thing to do for many people since time began. Since it's often thought that thinking about yourself is wrong, not many realize from within that 'charity' shouldn't be a word, just a part of the cycle we can life and to realize that you do need to think about yourself.

The written law is made by reason, not the divine; Jesus would be proud and the Church buttmad.

And the last part : Our creed commands us not to be free (aka lawless egde lords) but WISE.

The more you know!

Yeah I suppose I misspoke when I said that, but it was late and I was practically passing out.

Probably because the people who believe that is what it means, are the loudest/most noticed edgelord asshats - rather than quieter, wiser, older members.

Which is why he says, as he dies:

You can't save everyone, if you don't first save yourself...

You mean like Altair was at the beginning lol, well written game script, I wasn't aware of what I was seeing when I played it many years ago. Fun to go back to old games and movies and check them out with new eyes.

In this case I do blame the Church, TV-evangelism and weird outsiders that read the text and go "If I could do anything I would eat babies and rape children... so these people must be doing that!" for that misunderstanding, Crowley's world-tour didn't help either.
