Thelema is ultimately sadistic. It isn't concerned with compassion but the accomplishment of one's True Will.......

Thelema is inseparable from agape. "Love is the law, love under will." (Agape is unconditional love, not erotic love, by the way.)

"Unconditional" implies "indiscriminate." The phrase "under will" would seem to "conditionalize" it to a higher purpose. It's "applied" love. Not separate, just directed as opposed to amorphous and all-pervading.

Yes, I was trying to think of a substitute for "divine" that didn't have theistic connotations.
