The Book of the Law Chapter 3 Fighting Cancer

It seems advantageous to keep one's mood and spirits up as one navigates through cancer treatment. This can often prove difficult depending on how much pain and discomfort the body experiences; harder too when it drags on for months or years. Everyone finds their own tools and methods to handle the possible depression, anxiety, downerness, fear and pain. I have found Aleister Crowley's The Book of the Law  (Liber Al) an excellent, non-chemical way to alleviate and banish debilitating thoughts and emotions. I will read a chapter a day for 3 days and have been doing this every week or two. If diagnosed as terminal (I'm not) or thought I may die in the near future (I don't) then I would be reading these chapters much more frequently. I suspect Liber Al shows, or can metaprogram one for life outside the body.

Chapter 3 in particular seems tailor made for anyone fighting something internal like cancer, an addiction or simple animal inertia. The second verse gives a problem then provides a solution. "There is division hither homeward;" made me think of cancer's rapidly dividing cells. The other division homeward comes between the cancer that wants to take over until death and the healthy cells that wish to remain growing and living.

The verses that follow immediately seems obvious for this model and should need no explanation. It goes on more or less in this vein (with exceptions) until verse 39 when the narrative switches direction.
