Chapter I.

45.  The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay are none.
46.  Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty one the Jews call it; I call 
     it eight, eighty, fourhundred and eighteen.
47.  But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear.
48.  My prophet is a fool with his one, one, one; are not they the Ox, and 
     none by the Book?

Comment: Aug 9, 1936

A new interpretation of the above verses has since yesterday opened up to me; 
it does not necessarily abrogate the previous one.

The uniting of the Perfect and the Perfect (v.45) is agin referred to when it 
is said: "unite by thine art etc." (v.47).

"Nothing is a secret key of this law." This "Nothing" is "Ain"; the Perfect 
Nothing of First Veil of the Nagative, back of the whole Qabalistic system of 
the jews; and its numerical value is 61, as stated in verse 46. (This appears 
as the first half of an equation, which equation is probably that which is 
referred to in verse 56 (NV) of Chapter I, q.v.)

"I (NV) call it eight, eighty, fourhundred, and eighteen." It has been shown 
elsewhere how these numbers, as representing the initial, letters, and 
numeration of Parzival, the Pure Fool, can be reduced to "Nothing" by Tarot.

But there is another concealed meaning, which seems to connect this one with 
the "child" mentioned in verse 56, and also to show the passing of the old 
aeon, and the mystery of the "empty left-hand" of Chapter III, verse 72, q.v., 
etc., etc.

Nuit says: "I call it (nothing) 8,80,418" which together make 506. Now firstly 
506 is a glyph of NV herself, for her number is 11 (5 plus 0 plus 6 = 11), 
and she is identified with six and fifty, the 50, in the case standing before 
the 56 (as it is secretly written, Chapter III, v.8., None = Nun = 50, shall 
stand before "you" = U = 6--another glyph of NV.)

But 506 has another meaning: it is Sh V R, that to say, "Bovis a sinistra" --
the Ox at the left hand, the old aeon which has been left, and yet which is a 
part of the Perfect team, when equated with AIN, nothingness so that both 
become none--"nay, are none."

This old aeon, the secondhalf of the equation, is (v.56) to be "left 
unattacked" by the Prophet.

Now comes the uniting by art of the two halves of the equation (v.47); that is 
to say, we must add the two numbers 61 and 506, which gives us 567 (a true 
number sequence) and we must unite the letters of A.I.N. with those of Sh.V.R. 
which, being rightly done by art, gives R A Sh V N I = 567 = FIRSTBORN - the 
child of the New Aeon, and of the Old, which again equals PARZIVAL, etc. etc 
so that all may be said to disappear, and yet the Perfect and the Perfect have 
become One.

This is further proved by the reference in verse 48 to the Ox (ShVR) and None 
(Ain) which are so by the "Book" the Sepher (book) Sephiroth, as well as by 
the "Book" of Hermes--the Taro. The one, one, one is really 111 -- Aleph, the 
Ox, spelt in full, and AVM of Ch. I, verse 56, the seal of the "child," and 
which reappears again as the penultimate word of the whole Book Al -- Auma Ha.

There is, however, a further mystery of the uniting by art so that all 
disappear, but this can not be revealed at present because it is connected 
with the secret word (the word not known) pronounced by the Firstborn in 1926-
the mystery of the babe within the egg of the fifth element (Chapter II, v.49) 
which is the Quintescence, or Aethyr of the Pure Fool (Note. MANIO in the 
`egg' `In A Nest' in Manifestation.)


          N.B.    The "team" of "Oxen" (and of fools) may be 
                the A.•.A.•. as representing twice Nemo is Fra
               A.•.A.•. and also the twin focii, or "pillars" of
                 the OVAL, or "crushed" circle. yet "still the
                            Moving Fingers writes."

                                      -o-
