Ethics are a construct, nothing more. Karmically speaking, like attracts like, and as such you’re deeper in the earth the farther down the rabbit hole you go. There are ways to utilize or offset the energies in question, baneful or beneficial.
Some ethics were designed to utilize karma energy. Nowadays this has fallen. The modern human’s notion of an ethical individual is a cow to be slaughtered.
Act as you are. Crowley called it the “true will”, he didn’t grasp the full nature of it. Perform your function, act as you are, and there you will find true ethics. Everything has a place, everything hungers for power and to survive (we’re not special, all gravitated towards power), everything kills.
Following a “code” or otherwise obstructing yourself from completing your mission is useless. There are plenty of differences between men and gods, and this is one.
