Which book best explains Thelemic practice and philosophy without making someone sit through the thousands upon thousands of pages of the equinoxes among other Libers?

I'm aware that Thelema is a traditional system of ceremonial magick and philosophy however i don't really have the time to sit through all of those thousands of pages of cryptic Crowley poetry... Is there any book that gives a QRD on all of it?

Just read To Mega Therion
The Book of the Law

Isn't the Book of The Law also Cryptic? Also is Crowley's commentary on it any good?

Crowley's essay "Energized Enthusiasm" gives a more direct explanation of what he considers to be the key element in Thelemic workings.
But he can't help himself, and still indulges in grandiloquence and sophistry. He had a big ego

Liber ABA

Ok, I’ll explain, it’s basically the thelemic textbook. It’s the closest equivalent to the Golden Dawn’s ‘complete Golden Dawn’ book. You have all the key rituals/instructions from the equinox + magick in theory and practice + instructions on the yoga aspect of the aa (liber E etc.) + the book on magical tools + the blue equinox explaining (and containing) the book of the law


All the core things are there

II don't trust books communicate by a literal gray ET who says:
>any impulse you have you have to do or I'll punish you, oh you'd better not have a moral compass or else.
Also that being stroking Crowley's ego gets old.

That’s not what it says, that’s the opposite of what it is says. Did you get your info about Thelema from a creepypasta countdown YouTube video or an evangelical Christian testimonial?

Thelema is all about following the logos as it manifests through you, simple ‘as

>That’s not what it says
I literally just read it. That's exactly what it's about.
You have to do more then watch tiktok videos if you want act knowledgeable about this shit.

I literally practice it, the written is gate-kept in such a way that the profane won’t be able to understand it with their surface level readings

I see, but the Book Of The Law in Liber ABA is the handwritten version right? (I can barely make out what Crowley writes in that one).

Why such secrecy/gatekeeping didn't Crowley also publish Golden Dawn secrets?
