Ethical conduct (Sila)
5) Right livelihood (samma ajiva)
• Based around ahimsa – harmlessness
• You cannot engage in business with companies that are involved with “"trading in arms and lethal weapons, intoxicating drinks, poisons, killing animals, [and] cheating" and ”prostitution”
• In business, one should refrain from "[s]cheming, persuading, hinting, belittling, [and] pursuing gain with gain”

Harmlessness (ahimsa)
AL I:42. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
AL I:43. Do that, and no other shall say nay.
AL I:44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
AL III:60. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.

Although it is written that "Love is the law, love under will" (AL I:57) and that we are to "Love one another with burning hearts" (AL II:24), but the deciding factor is the Will. If it is truly one's Will to harm another living being, then "no other shall say nay" (AL I:43).

This isn't to mean that harming someone is always "OK," because many of the times one has the option to inflict harm, it would better facilitate the Will not to do such. If one sees a police officer and decides to inflict harm on him, one will be incarcerated and one's Will will surely be unnecessarily restricted.

Qualities of hate, animosity, and antipathy are to be avoided for "Love is the law, love under will" (AL I:57), and these generally cause resistance and restriction to the Will. Although these qualities should be avoided, "There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt" (AL III:60) - adherence to certain moral prescriptions will most likely impede the Will. Essentially, "thou hast no right but to do thy will. Do that, and no other shall say nay" (AL I:42-43).

Business dealings
AL I:42. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
AL I:43. Do that, and no other shall say nay.
AL I:44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
AL III:60. There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.

The practice of Right livelihood usually has proscriptions against doing business with companies that are inovlved with "trading in arms and lethal weapons, intoxicating drinks, poisons, killing animals, [and] cheating" and ”prostitution." Also, it is said that, in business, one should refrain from "[s]cheming, persuading, hinting, belittling, [and] pursuing gain with gain."

Essentially, in Thelema it is understood that "There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt (AL III:60), and that "thou hast no right but to do thy will. Do that, and no other shall say nay" (AL I:42-43). This means that if these business practices occur, they are only judged in relation with the Will - if they facilitate the Will, they are "good" and if they impede or restrict the Will, they are "bad." These things cannot be ascribed any sort of absolute "good" or "bad" but only in relation with the individual's Will.

The proscriptions against these types of business dealings are a means to an end. They are to be avoided in that they excite the mind and enforce the illusion of duality & separateness.

Summary
*One refrains from doing harm because "Love is the law, love under will," (AL I:57) but the Will supercedes this attempt to refrain from doing harm - "Thou hast no right but to do thy will" (AL I:42).

*One refrains from these "wrong" business practices in that they normally are restrictions and impediments to the Will, but the final rule is the Will and if it necessitates engaging in activities that would be labeled & condemned by the Buddhist ideas of Right livelihood, then so be it.
AL I:42. Thou hast no right but to do thy will.
AL I:43. Do that, and no other shall say nay.
