analyzing The Book Of Law may give us insight into Bree and her religion, and the theme of LG15:

Every person is a star—a collection or aggregate of all they’ve experienced.
Every event unites a person with the possibilities available to them. Everything that can happen does happen, in an alternate reality.
Each person is/ has their own universe, yet it is the same universe as everyone else’s, in that they also include all possibilities. The object I see is never the exact one you see, because of varied perspective. But approximations and similarity of details indicate a compilation of congenial consistency; which is why it seems like such an amalgam.
Thelema is an extremely crude attempt to explain a system which reconciles all existing schools of philosophy.
It seeks and exemplifies a balance of self-determination and fateful determinism. Only one outcome possible at one time and one place can occur; every event takes us to another choice, and every choice takes us to another event.

Love is the law= uniting ourselves with proper outcomes.
Love under will= we accomplish this by choosing, willing.

Choice is the exercise of the Will.
Each of us has one unique path to follow/ forge according to the cause and effect relations in our life. We must be careful to choose options/ paths consistent with who we are.

The history of the world consists of periods/ ages/ stages of development/ growth. Human history is only one of the patterns unfolding, only one of the perspectives amid many—which itself contains many perspectives. We are now engaged in a period of redefinition.
Since we can ever only choose or experience one particular outcome in space-time it is—in a sense—predestined. We participate in a struggle of the individual against a society trying to placate and subdue us, through communization and homogenation. We must be at liberty to choose and think for ourselves. Chaos brings evolution. The abnormal is change.

very Nietzchean. and Donnie Darko-esque.

Sounds like someone is projecting RAW onto AL.

Hail unto Thee Isis
with thine great fish in my ear
this fish, my fish
with that do I hear

and with bared bussom
I invoke thee clear
resounding profoundly
with a fish in my ear

Well, yeah, but it's not referred to explicitly in Liber AL. Maybe alluded to AL I:4 and 24, though.
