Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Some thoughts. Many religious and even esoteric schools of thought have the eradication of "desire" as their central goal, if not a major or laudable pursuit. I've always found that offputting as well as fucking absolutely impossible sounding. Even if it weren't just impossible, I couldn't imagine a scenario where that was even practical. I'm not rich and I come from the opposite of money, so how in the actual fuck would not desiring things or states of being work? Isn't seeking that detachment from desire a fucking goddamn desire??!! Thelema seeks action without the "lust of result" but desire is, as I was just "informed" weaponized. One aspect of BABALON is the absolute refusal to denounce the material plane, joy, desire, and carnality in general. Weaponizing Desire, lusting for life and not lusting for result, this is the basis of Thelemic Magick and, in my current opinion, all Magick. If one is "doing their Will" Magick is simply a focusing technique designed to align the Magi better with their Universe. We do not have the technology to reignite a star, nor do we need to. There are stars in all stages of life all around us, we just have to look for them. Desire, but always in Love and in your natural orbit.

      The Solar Plexus is located just above your belly button, at the base of your sternum. This chakra focuses on your relationship with yourself, where as your Sacral Chakra focuses on relationships with others. Your Solar Plexus is where you hold your agreements (beliefs) about yourself. What are your beliefs, and what are other people’s beliefs that you’re holding on to? Do you speak positively to yourself? When was the last time you loved yourself? What do you love about yourself?

The agreements that you’ve made with yourself about your environment, your body, your mind, all reside in this chakra. Our beliefs about our place in the world, and how we impact it is ruled by your Solar Plexus. An unbalanced Solar Plexus can cause feelings of self doubt, worthlessness, and insignificance. Empaths in particular usually need to pay closer attention to their Solar Plexus because this is where we absorb most of the energy around us., Since empaths tend to feel other people's emotions and vibrations more strongly than other people, this chakra usually needs regular work and attention.

Physically, the Solar Plexus has affects your upper abdomen, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, spleen, kidney, Adrenals, stomach, small intestines, endocrine system and immune system. Common ailments for people who are suffering with an overactive or even a sluggish Solar Plexus include: crohns, ulcers, tumors of the stomach/small intestines, diabetes, pancreatitis, eating disorders, arthritis, colon issues and other stomach problems.
