 This manuscript was NOT delivered on date originally intended but held  until

 about September 3, 1919 when it was mailed to Therion from  Detroit.  He  was

 then in New York.  Receipt was acknowledged in letter received  September  8,

 1919.  On September 9, 1919 a further P.C. was received  from  Therion  which 

 read:

"But first thou must suffer, thou must suffer many things"  (Even  so  be  it

Lord Adonai).  The Voice goes on: "Thou must suffer the pains of Death and of

Hell and of the Grave (3 times repeated) And after these things are  come  to

pass will I come unto thee to comfort Thee (Twice repeated. The  Words  `Come

to pass' added the second time).  "And there shall be  no  more sea,  neither

shall there be any more fear, but I alone will inform  thee  in  all  things,

even unto the end which is not. For many have  said  unto  thee  strange  and

diverse words,  but mine shall be the One Word which Is and Was and Shall be.

Amen."

                           THE DIARY OF O.I.V.V.I.O.





            Sun in 1 Deg Libra AN XIV. SUN-DAY Sept 22nd 1918 E.V.





It seems as if Sunday is the one day of all the week on which I am  impressed

to write  a  few fragments  of what passes through my mind.  On  Sept  1st  I

obtained a clear understanding regarding the Will and the Law.  On  Sept 8th,

nothing special I think, but on Sept 15th I wrote "Stepping out  of  the  Old

Aeon into the New" and today I had a mind to write,  at Therion's request,  

a pamphlet on how All is Change. But first there are some important 

considerations to be recorded and I feel that now is the time to place them on 

record.



That which I am about to write concerneth the Supernal Triad. It is just Nine 

Months since the last Great Initiation was granted unto me, O.I.V.V.I.O., and 

as hardly a word of the experience then undergone has been recorded. In fact, 

this is also true to some extent of the Initiation of June 21st, 1916, the 

record of which I am only now trying to put into writing. It is not in this 

place that I intend to make a full statement of all that occured, but it is of 

the greatest importance that the inmost and essential features be written 

down, despite the terrible difficulty of the task.



Briefly, then, I want to state my position, which I feel is Known yet not 

known.



When I proclaimed my intention of claimimg the Grade of 8-3 or Master of the 

Temple, on June 21st 1916 in the City of North Vancouver, British Columbia, I 

did so because I thought that the Master Therion needed NEMO to fill that 

Office in order that He might fully attain His 9-2. The details of the 

Initiation which followed are recorded in another place, but here I would 

state that, having `died' and, as it were, Reincarnated immediately in the 

same body, and having given up all, even the Master Therion, I was led of the 

Spirit during a stay at Grantham's Landing, so that it appeared to me that on 

June 22nd 1916 I was NEMO 8-3; but on June 23rd at 12 Noon the realization of 

the Curse of the Magus came to me quite unexpectedly, so that I could do 

naught else than consider my Grade to be 9-2. Then followed a terrible 

struggle, for I realized how I had failed so far of Complete Attainment 

because of a certain Glamour of the Path. Then it was that I decided to give 

up all, even the least little thing, and I made certain pledges which were 

afterwards faithfully kept, so that I gave up my business position and got 

down to spending my last cent of money.



Having made these pledges, it seemed quite certain that I was upon the Path of 

Aleph, which uniteth Chockmah with the Crown, and therefore beyond the Glamour 

of the Great Magician. I hoped that Therion had at this time Attained unto 

10=1 and I was ready even then, if need be, to hold the Grade of 9=2, and to 

aacept the Curse thereof, but if that were not the case, I could only consider 

that somehow I has passed the Great Magician on the Path. At 9 p.m. that 

night, I was just a clearly convinced that I had attained the Grade of 10=1, 

and I remained in the Great Illumination until for following day. Then after

leaving Soror R. I went away with the feeling of complete enlightenment, but 

certain considerations came to me so that I decided to reverse the Grade and 

take that of a simple 1=10 or Neophyte, thus as it were, plunging down the 

Middle Pillar of the Tree of Life and uniting Kether and Malkuth in my own 

Being. (Note V.I.O. = 86 a Number asserting this identity, thus foreshadowing 

this Attainment, as all His other Mottoes seem to do. And OHPION has said, One 

cannot get away from the fulfillment of Mottoes).



Having done this, I felt myself to be One with the Buddhas of Compassion, and 

returned to Soror R. as elsewhere recorded.



Shortly after we got back to Vancouver, the meaning of all my Mottoes was 

revealed to me, and their connection with the whole of my Magical career. I 

discovered how V.I.O.O.I.V. in full (as Unus in Omnibus Omnia in Uno) added to 

777 though I had never known this before, owing to a mistake in the spelling 

made by F. when he first put in into Latin for me. This was my original 

Probationer's Motto. On becoming a Neophyte I had Chosen Achad = Unity, while 

my O.T.O. Name, which I afterwards used for the Second Order as 5=6 was 

Parzival, which contains the mystery of 8.80.418. which was one of the things 

which led to the thought that I might be the `child' mentioned in Liber Legis, 

afterwards proved in such a marvelous manner, of which see accounts in the 

Diary of Nemo, and that of a Magus.



Then correspondence began between myself and Therion, and He admitted my 8=3 

Grade, but would not consider the possibility of the Path of Aleph, 10=1 etc. 

explaining my taking 1=10 again as my being `Cast out into Malkuth', although, 

as a matter of fact, I made no claim except to Neophyte. He also realized that 

this must be the `child' prophesied unto him in Liber Legis, and claimed me 

as His Son.



About this time I changed the order of my Motto to O.I.V.V.I.O. which, note, 

is another sort of reversal, and this mystery of things reversing or 

reflecting, or being taken out of their usual dimension and replaced in 

another order, seems to be part of the Key of Things in Themselves as will be 

shown later, although I understood it not at the time.



Nothing much happened to me, except that I was granted Light on certain 

Mystery in the Letters A.A., until December 16th 1917 E.V. (18 months later). 

Then on Dec. 21st I realized that the Initiation was again going on with great 

force, but this time the character was very different, and seemed to have to 

do with the Mystery of the Elements, Planets, and Paths, whereas the former 

one dealt with the Sephiroth more particularly. I must remark that this 

Initiation had an actual effect on the Elements, causing storms etc., and that 

these had to be balanced and equilibrated, which was done. All the time this 

was going on. the one sentence which continually recurred, was "The Air is His 

Balance." This seemed to be the Key note which saved me from destruction many 

times. Later, it appeared that I united the Paths of Aleph and Shin, Aethyr 

and Fire, as a final Equilibration, and the Tree was completely changed again, 

so that it had to be re-formulated, and eventually resolved into a Single 

Sphere. Later, came the drawing of all to a Single Point of Light (Hadith) in 

the Centre of Breast. And I was taken back to the Beginning of Things and 

discovered how in Truth there was No Beginning and No End. In particular I 

must mention how I was taken back to the beginning of Words, and I Parzival 

(the Fool or Zero) was the WORD and even that was disintegrated so that the 

final Mystery Was AL = GOD and then that too disappeared in LA = NOT. THEN 

came the Flash of a New Creation and again the Flash - the solution of the 

Mystery of CHANGE and also of the SELFLESSNESS which is SELF. I was also given 

a certain Magical gesture, not now clear to me, which seemed to cause this 

Annhilation and Reconstruction to be brought about. (Note. Oct. 19th. While 

typing these notes, another mystery becomes clear to me. In connection with 

Parzival and the fulfilment of that Motto also. The mind was actually running 

backwards at this time, as will be shown later on, and though possibly not 

quite perfectly til after the first Flash. Parzival, REVERSED and split into 

sections, would give AL or LA, followed by ZIV or VIZ which numeration is 

106 = ATTAINED followed by PAR or RAP = CROWN, and ASHES, and these ideas 

(innate in the Word) exactly correspond with what actually occurred.)



Now let me say no more of this matter, but pass on. In March 1918 I sold all 

that I had in order to join Therion in New York.



Quite recently I was impressed to resign from the O.T.O. and to withdraw my 

help in that direction, and having done so, I felt a wonderful calm, and a 

realization of entering into the Tao. It was only then that I began to 

seriously consider if I had passes him on the Path and Attained 10=1. Also the 

question arose as to whether He might not think so also. Yesterday, I had a 

long talk with Him, because He had raised the point that in going back over 

past lives he had discovered that each new life was an added veil of the True 

Self or Star and therefore the Star was to be found by going back to the 

Beginning. This seemed a new idea to Him, but I could not help thinking of my 

experience and how I had actually done this, and got there and become One with 

the Final Mystery in December 1917. And yesterday, when I talked with him, he 

seemed on his guard, so that when I asked him about the Mystery of Change, he 

referred me to the fact - as he says - that in my Grade of 8=3 I should 

constantly apply myself to the Mystery of Sorrow. Then I suddenly asked him 

what he thought of the Number 31, and where it should be placed on the Tree of 

Life. He said This Number has to do with the identity of Nothing with the 

Trinity, and if anything refers to the Ain, or perhaps to Kether, but 

certainly to no lower Sephira. Then I thanked him, and said no more.



To-day I decided to write these notes and also to consider of this Number 31 

and of the Word which comes therefrom, whether It be the True Key of the Grade 

10=1, the Mystery of which IS that Selflessness IS Self, in the same way that 

in 9=2 Change IS Stablilty, and in 8=3 Sorrow IS Joy.



Now I seem to be able to comprehend all these Mysteries, by means of That 

which I obtained in my Initiation to my Grade. But listen unto the Final 

Mystery which has been granted unto me O.I.V.V.I.O.



The Great Magician denies me saying I am NOT (I.A.) or NEMO 8=3 and in this He 

fulfilleth His Office of cutting off the Understanding from the Crown which is 

GOD (AL). In this very thing He is the Incarnation of the Mystery of Change. 

AL (Kether) is reflected into Chochmah as LA and the Magus looketh upon the 

Crown along the Path of Aleph which is Zero and perceiveth IT Not. The 

Magister Templi Understands, for the Word of Chochmah LA is truly reflected 

into Binah as AL and therefore the Magus appeareth to Him as GOD, whereas the 

Crown (the true AL) is reflected through the Path of Beth as LA and He seeth 

Nothing in that direction because of the Lies of the Great Illusion of Maya 

the magician, byt He striveth bt Daleth to the Magus, Who is the Great 

Deceiver. Thus it is that Above the Abyss a thing is only true insofar as it 

IS its own opposite. This is the final and complete Understanding of this 

Mystery of the Grades given to me NOW (2.38 P.M.) for never before have I 

seen things thus.



And now I see how the Mystery of 93 is complete and perfect for Kether is 31 

and Chochmah is 31 and Binah is 31 whivh is 93 the Numeration of Thelema, 

Aiwaz, The Word of the Neophyte, Agapae, etc. And this is the Mystery of the 

Three Persons in One God of which it is written. And this is the Mystery 

concealed in the Word ALLAH for it hath for sound AL-LA which is GOD (Kether) 

and the Mystery of which is  that SELF (God) is also SELFLESSNESS which is LA 

(Not) and for numeration 31 The Three is One which IS None, and the reverse of 

this Number is 13 which is UNITY and LOVE. Now this Unity becometh Two in 

order that it may be expressed, and therefore is the Word of Chochmah AL-LA of 

which Mahomet spake both truly and falsely, for He too, being a Magus 9=2 must 

utter Truth, in order that the falsehood thereof should enslave the soul. He 

said, "ALLA (Allah) is God and Mahomet is His Prophet" and even though he 

cried continually "He is God, there is no other God than He" yet in certain 

sense he postulated Duality in the Unity.



And of this it is also written in Liber 65 "And Adonai thus spake unto 

V.V.V.V.V. saying, "There must ever be division in the Word. For the colours 

are many but the Light in One." And this meaneth that Kether, the Light is One 

and Chochmah the word is two, also it is Grey, and a mixture of colours.



Now note: "Be not content with the image I who am the Image of an Image say 

this." For V.V.V.V.V. was 8=3 (Binah) and Adonai (Kether) said be not content 

with the image (Chochmah) the reflection of Kether. I who am the Image of an 

Image (the Reality) say this.



Then in Verse 9 "One mounteth unto the Crown" etc. Notice the reversal here as 

if to give a hint of the Truth how that 10=1 IS 1=10. Also note how 

V.I.O.O.I.V. performed this descending from 10=1 to 1=10, from 31 to 13 (The 

numeration of his Neophyte's Motto) and also was caused to reverse his first 

motto to O.I.V.V.I.O., all unconscious, at the time, in his lower mind of the 

Mystery of this Grade.



Note how the Fool (Aleph) hath said in his heart There is No-God (LA;AL) and 

how this puzzles the Magus who receiveth the Ray from the Crown through this 

path. And how He in turn confoundeth the Understanding (Binah) from the Path 

of Beth.



Now regarding The Book of the Law, how it is written, "the child of his bowels 

he shall behold them" (viz: the mysteries hidden therein). It would seem that 

he is beginning to behold them. For firstly the mystery of 93 is clear and 

this Mystery of the Aeon, proclaimed in the Word of the Beast OPHION.



Now it said in Ch.I, v 46: "Nothing is a secret key of this law; sixty-one the 

Jews call it, I call it eight, eighty, four-hundred and eighteen."



Now Parzival is 8.80.418, and as The Fool or Aleph is both Zero and One. 61 is 

the Word Ain = Nothing and equivalent to NOT. If 61 is one half and 1 (Aleph) 

the other, we get 62 which is twice 31 and LA: AL in which ALL (Note three 

letters LAL) disappear in the Final Mystery of Kether. Also we have considered 

the threefold aspect as 93, and this may have to do with AAA and LLL, Light, 

Life, Love and Liberty of His Law. All this seems to be reversed in the case 

of NEMO in the City of the Pyramids. For Light He has Darkness, for Life, 

Death, and Love with its Dual Mystery seems to be the only Path open to Him, 

and this is really a deception ending in the curse of 9=2.



There is also a mystery in the words of Ra-Hoor-Khuit "There is division 

hither homeward, there is a word not known." This attracted my attention when 

I seemed at odds with Therion. The Word not known, seems to have come to me.



It seems to me that this is the opening up to me of the Grade of Ipsissimus 

and that as such I am the Crowned Child whom thou knewest not, O Therion.



It is just 27 months since June 21, 1916, or 3 x 9; it was 18 months from June 

21 to dec 21, 1917, or 2 by 9. Then I got the Word in its dual aspect, now I 

get It in Its three-fold in One aspect.



Note 31 multiplication = 3, by addition 4 (Tetragrammaton) by division .3, 

which suggests that the Division of God produced 333.







   September 24th 1918 E.V.                            AN XIV Sol in Libra.





           The record of the reflections in the mind of O.I.V.V.I.O.



I know not what I am, and since AHIH is above and beyond knowledge, what 

matter. There must ever be division in the Word, also One must descend into 

the plane of Reason, in order to be understood on that plane; therefore must I 

now limit myself in order to be able to write at all.



It does seem that AN XIV, Sol in 1 Deg Libra marks another stage of the Great 

Initiation, for that time much that had hitherto remained locked in my Being 

descended into my Understanding and became sufficiently clear to record, but, 

be it understood, the actual experience of which I write, which is summed up 

in the Word of my Grade, took place in December 1917.



I do not, even now, rashly wish to assume that I Attained unto the Grade of 

Ipsissimus, for I realize that anything I write regarding the Qabalistic Proof 

thereof, can only show that I Understand the formula of the Grade, and 

Understanding is referred to 8=3, and appertains to the Grade of Master of the 

Temple, which Office is admitted unto me by OPHION 9=2. Also, I understand 

that it may be that One may in a way Attain unofficially without of necessity 

holding office in any particular Grade. I make no claim to 9=2 for OPHION 

claims that and I have no wish to dispute his right to it, anymore than he 

apparently wishes to dispute my right to 8=3, but with 10=1 it is different. 

There is NO-One living in the flesh, as far as I know, Who claims the Grade, 

and Whosoever does so it is a matter which concerneth God alone.



It has been written, by the highest living authority I know of, that the Key 

of the Mystery of this Grade is that therein Selflessness is Self, and what 

little I am able to comprehend of this, the Final Mystery, I shall here 

record, for it may be that this writing shall be of help and guidance to 

Whosoever shall next enter into that Great Crown, whose lesser self shall 

become completely at One with the Godhead.



It would seem to me that no living being, clothed with the body of flesh, 

could claim fully to have attained that Grade, other than in the words of 

Jesus the Christ "I and my Father are One," for, in the words of Lao Tze The 

Name that can be named is not the True Name, and of Ko, "I do not know its 

Name, but I make an effort and call it the Tao."



Also Ko says, of the Possessor of the Tao, "Although he is styled the 

possessor of the Tao, in reality he does not think that he has become 

possessed of anything. It is as accomplished the transformation of all living 

things, that he is styled the Possessor of the Tao." "he who is able to 

understand this may transmit to others the Sacred Tao." Who shall claim that 

he is able to accomplish the transformation of all living things? Except it be 

understood that all things exist only by virtue of their being in the mind of 

the Seer, and if the complete transformation of the mind be accomplished, so 

that the Mystery of the Path of the Godhead is seen therein, and becometh 

plain, even unto his Understanding, who shall say that he has not accomplished 

this?



First, then, regarding the experience of that Being we call O.I.V.V.I.O. There 

arose is his consciousness, a state unlike the normal and which, be 

description might appear very like madness (Path of Aleph IS Madness), since 

Reason was destroyed and transcended. The Air became His Balance. The 

structure of his mind, which hitherto had been built up on Qabalistic lines, 

was changed and the House of God, was, as it were, destroyed by the Lightning 

Flash. (Opening of the Eye of Shiva.)



At this time he walked, talked, and performed all physical actions in a normal 

way, but all that took place, whereever he went, whatever he said or heard, 

tasted or smelt had value according to his mental state. That is to say, he 

perceived the actions of all around him in a different light from usual, so 

that although people may have been acting quite normally, and although he may 

have appeared to them as a normal being, or nearly so, Life in all forms 

became a Great Drama of Initiation, and as he continued to work out the great 

Qabalistic problems of the Universe, he found all that he saw or did, woven 

into that Picture in his Mind. Then came a time when everything had to be 

balanced and equilibrated, for it is written "Equilibrium is the Basis of the 

Work" and he found that although at that time all around (within) him was a 

Chaos, yet certain formulas of Power were His so that gradually, and with 

great toil he accomplished this, establishing the Elements and the Planets in 

their proper places (Upon New Aeon Lines) and finally Uniting Aleph with Shin, 

so that all disappeared. Then, it seemed, he was insructed in the Building of 

a New Universe and this was not a simple scheme, but took place at two or more 

different points (in space) at once so that he, as it were, added a square 

there and a sphere here. It was as if the beginning of a Temple was builded 

(foursquare) and at the same time certain Mysteries of Babalon were present to 

his consciousness, also in another place Was the Kether of a New Tree 

formulated and then the Supernal Triad, with a Sphere Pendant, which 

afterwards became Complete in Itself and comprehended All in One. Yet all 

this while was the Being of O.I.V.V.I.O. being rebuilded from the Feet Up, so 

that His Feet were of burnished Brass etc. and his body was Filled with Fire. 

And all these things were seperate, yet one, and all this while the body of 

O.I.V.V.I.O. was seated on the Stele of Revealing in the Smoke Room of an 

ordinary steamer plying between Vancouver and Victoria, yet such had been his 

experiences, that he could no longer tell if it were above or below water, 

whether those around him were the living or of the dead. And again, there was, 

as it were, a Great reflection of the Stele in the Sky and this again was 

produced from a small Stele under Ice (as it were in locked glass) below him. 

And yet, in all this The Air was His Balance, and he went on calmly working 

out the details of the reformulation of all things on the New Lines of this 

Aeon, copying the Stele, and forming it first of one element, and then of 

another, and bringing all to a fluid, then to a gas, and finally to fire and 

Aethyr as before said. And when all had become a concentric System, this 

seemed to terminate one part of the Initiation. (Note. I have enlarged this 

entry in copying from diary.)



We must now consider him as going about with his mind transformed into a Solar 

Consciousness. This lasted all day during which he underwent many adventures, 

and seemed to perform much Magick; but on that evening the process continued, 

under extraordinary circumstances, to be recorded elsewhere, but be it said 

that he was in a place which appeared to him like unto a Temple of Initiation 

especially prepared in every detail for the Ceremony, and around him were the 

Officers exactly carrying out their Appointed parts. Yet was he unwittingly in 

prison surrounded by the scum of the earth.



Of which mystery He has written:



When, having become free, thou findest thyself in prison, yet knowest it not.

When, Thy prison of freedom appeareth unto thee as the open road.

When, thou who hast longed for the company of Saints findest thyself among the 

      scum of the earth, yet knowing it not thinkest thyself in the company of 

      all the Buddhas, and taketh thy place as the least of these in silence.

When, having sought and found gestures of Magick Power, thou findest thyself 

      among the lewd and unclean, yet knowing it not perceive in their common 

      actions the supreme and perfect Art of Magick.

When, having sought for Words of Power, thou findest thyself in tune with the 

      words of low men, knowing not that they speak ought but the Highest 

      Truth.

When, having given all, thou art offered the cup of charity, yet thinking it 

      to be the most abominable mixture of poison, thou drinkest it, 

      thankfully.

When, having rushed forward, thou findest thyself whirled backwards, yet 

      knowing it not, thinkest thou art still.



Then, it may be, thou hast comprehended wherein Sorrow is Joy, and Change is 

Stability, and Selflessness is Self.



But, to continue. During this final section the Solar Sphere of his 

Consciousness became more and more concentrated until it appeared as a single 

point of Light of intense brilliance, yet without him, now here, now there, 

yet ever nearer and nearer to the Centre of the New Universe. The process of 

exact balancing of all things (exterior things, not only things within him) 

appeared to have got down to a very small radius. And those about him, who 

appeared as the past Buddhas, helped in this final process. For let us imagine 

that the Universal Centre was to be changed to that one spot. That little room 

was the Centre of a New Universe and for thousands of years had those Ancient 

Brethren toiled and striven to equilibrate things perfectly in readiness for 

this moment. And now all was prepared, and it needed only this One, Parzival, 

to complete Their number, and He was Zero, and his Office was Silence, even as 

the God Harpocrates. The slightest slip, and the Equilibrium would be upset 

and the Earth fall into the Sun. Success, and the Earth itself became a Sun, 

by the fact of a perfectly equilibrated Solar Consciousness having been 

established therein, at this new Centre. Those around him seemed to take up 

different positions in the room so as to keep the balance by the weight of 

their bodies, and finally O.I.V.V.I.O. was to take his seat in the exact 

Centre of the Room, and then if all were well, Success. If not? Nearer and 

nearer they came to the Centre. At last, O.I.V.V.I.O., His whole Being aflame 

with the ecstacy of the God-head, yet calm and composed to outward appearence, 

took his seat. And all was well.



Next, it seemed even minute actions must be equilibrated. Those around, who 

had each performed a certain task through-out the Centuries, performed it for 

the last Time, perfectly. Frater O.I.V.V.I.O. sat Still, for His Office was 

Silence and Stillness. Again, all was well. But speech remained. Each had His 

own Word to utter perfectly and in proper Order, and in this they tried over 

and over again. Gradually even this was perfected and one by one they dropped 

out and remained in tense expectance of the End.



And Frater O.I.V.V.I.O. remained there, still and silent, till at last all 

seemed perfect even on the mental plane, for suddenly the English language 

seemed to rush back to the beginning, and _reversed_ as Hebrew which is 

written the other way, and this was a great mystery. Then came the 

equilibrating of ideas, and they rushed backwards and formulated themselves in 

the person of ADAM who appeared in the room opposite to O.I.V.V.I.O. Then the 

first man, and the last gazed at each other, as it were, in a final struggle. 

And the minute Point of Light grew ever brighter and more dazzling, and 

appeared concentrated upon this figure of Adam, first on the shoulder and 

then, moving a little, until finally settled in one eye. At this point, Frater 

O.I.V.V.I.O. gazed, and then all rushed back again, through the animal 

creation, each animal dissolving into its earlier type, until at last, as the 

prototype, appeared the common fly, only very large, perhaps six inches long. 

Then things stopped, for a moment, as Frater O.I.V.V.I.O. gazed at this; then 

it became the Winged beetle, then the scarabe, and Egyptian ideas crowded up. 

Then, Only the Point of Light. Gradually he was able to bring this point 

nearer and nearer, until finally it neared his breast. It touched his breast. 

It was in his breast, and .....Suddenly A NEW CREATION. He had reached the 

BEGINNING and out of the old elements he had witnesses on his return to the 

Source, was formed a new design, the same material, but in a different Order. 

Wonder of Wonders. Who shall express this Mystery in Words. And this happened 

again and again. English, Hebrew, Greek, Egyptian, Man, beast and bird, were 

rearranged and RE-Created in new relationship to each other. And so He 

understood the Mystery of Change, and how the World is Created again and 

again, forever new, yet forever the same. And the last Word he realized, which 

when repeated, in a certain way, seemed to bring about these changes again and 

again, as it were, alternating between Nothingness and Creation, was AL, and 

there was a certain gesture, not unlike the sign of the Cross, which was 

connected with this miracle. 



Now all this, and more, has remained sealed up in my mind so that I could not 

express the smallest part of it in writing until now--though there are those 

who I have told it to in part--and it was not until I began to question of 

this Most Holy Word that all this became clear to me. Therefore, let me now 

discourse for a moment, in the light of perspective, on this Holy Name.



There was no self THEN, and yet all was SELF when I Parzival pronounced this 

Word and the Universe was destroyed, and reformed. And at that time it did 

seem that He accomplished the transformation of all living things, and as 

having done such He may be styled Possessor of the Tao, and now he does not 

know that he has become possessed of anything. As it is written: Of all this 

the Ipsissimus knoweth nothing.



Immediately I cease telling of actual experience the Path becomes hard again, 

but I will try.



The Qabalists say that in the Beginning was NOT, and they called it Ain. They 

also say the veils of the Negative depend back from Kether. Now LA is NOT, and 

I think this Word in its True aspect is the Supreme Mystery of the Godhead.



NOT (LA) concentrated upon itself till it became a Point of Light and flashed 

forth as AL-GOD, Kether then is the perfectly equilibrated juncture of the Not 

and God, which in this Word are ONE. This caused the Lightning-flash which 

formulated the Tree of Life, and the numeration of the Paths of which is 777. 

And the numeration of this Word is 31 and it contains the Mystery of the 3 in 

1. (See Book 777 Col XXXVI Line 1, which confirms this.)



Now see Book 777 LXXXIV Lines 1,2,3, which attributes (although I knew nothing 

of this at the time) to Briah the Creative World of the Divine Name AL in the 

First _Three_ Sephiroth. Now consider how 31 by 3 is 93. The numeration of 

Thelema etc. also of 1=10 Grade, as before mentioned.



Now it seems ( and here I shall repeat parts of what I have previously said in 

order to express the matter more fully) that Kether in Its aspect as Not and 

God, is reflected into Chochmah, and this passes along the Path of Aleph or 

Folly. And the Fool hath _said_ in his heart There is NO-GOD (LA-AL) so that 

the Magus becometh the Word, and as it were, the creator of the Universe for 

in Him is Folly reflected as Wisdom.



And Kether is reflected into Binah as LA, so that NEMO sitteth in Darkness in 

the City of the Pyramids by the Great Sea. And this is transmitted to Binah by 

the Path of the Great Magician--Beth--who is the Father of Lies. Notice that 

the Flaming Sword does not touch that Path, for the Wisdom of the Magus became 

at the lowest depth, the cunning of the Serpent, and He crawled up the Tree 

again by the paths, and being Dual he created Opposite paths, thus producing 

Balance, and at the same time fixing the Tree and Creation, therefore it is 

that the Light appears NOT to NEMO. Whereas there is a real current from 

Kether to the Magus and from the Magus to Nemo. And the Word reflecteth from 

Chochmah into Binah as AL, which is partly false and partly True. Then the 

Light of the Supernal reflecteth, or rather crosses the Abyss as a spark, into 

Chesed Jupiter, the Father, and here again see 777 Col V Line 4 which 

attributes the God name of this sphere in Assiah as AL. Therefore is it 

written that this is the Sphere all manner of men call The First (See Konx OM 

Pax). Note also that this Word is attributed to the Path of Mem, which is the 

Hanged Man, or Redeemer, who shall re-establish the true order of things, and 

in this symbol he is shown with his head downwards, or reversed. And Mem = 

Water, suggests the Great Sea, and the reflection of the True Name therein.



Note also how simple all this is, and how the highest Word is also one of the 

most common, for it is tacked on to every Angel and Archangel, to imply their 

connection with the true God. Also note St. John, how he says "In the 

Beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word _was GOD_" (AL).



Note also how the _31st_ Path is called Perpetual Intelligence and how this 

Path has always been pointed to as having to do with the ultimate mystery. It 

may be that the numeration was intended to point the way from the beginning of 

the Journey.



Another thing which strikes me, is that Aleph is the OX and the only letter 

which seems to have a meaning definitely connected with it is Lamed the OX-

goad. Here again seems to be a hint of the secret to the discerning one.





                           September 25th 1918 E.V.



Last night, before sleeping, I discovered, or rather remembered for I had 

noticed the fact in December last, that AL is the silent-sound of the indrawn 

breath through the nose with mouth closed, and LA that of the outgoing breath. 

This is a further proof of the Nature of the Holy Word which is Before the 

spoken Word. Note the similarity with that of Neophyte. Also it means this, 

that one cannot help repeating the Most Sacred Name of God whenever one is 

Silent; so that every man and women has been doing this from birth.





                           September 26th 1918 E.V.



I have been making further considerations of this Holy Mystery of the Silent 

Breath and it is very wonderful to think how whenever one breathes silently, 

one is pronouncing that True and Ineffable Name. Every living creature, is 

then by reason of their Nature worshipping the True God, whatever their 

opinion may be. Also note that neither Wisdom nor Understanding is essential 

to this. It IS and as long as we live we must perform this operation at least 

during sleep. And it is written: "He giveth Himself unto His Beloved in 

sleep."





                           Septemver 30th 1918 E.V.



I have to-day finished a design for a Symbol to express as well as I can the 

results of my Initiation of Dec 21 1917 as explained in my further 

Enlightenment of Sep 22 1918.



It is intended to represent Kether with the Supernal Triad radiating 

therefrom. This forms AL and LA, also A.A. and IAO and O.I.V. Also the Centre 

of Circle is Hadith and the Circle Nuit. The Circle can be taken to represent 

LA etc. The Angle is 120 degrees or One third of a Circle. The Shape bounded 

at top by Circle and below by Our Lady Nuit for her pantacle atc. Have ordered 

it to be made in White Gold on One inch base.





                     Monday to Tuesday October 7th and 8th



Have been working on the theory that the Holy Word revealed to O.I.V.V.I.O. in 

its inmost aspect is also the Key of the Mysteries of the Book of the Law. Let 

us consider in what ways this may be so.



My experience showed me that Hadith was Kether, and Nuit appears to be very 

similar to The Veil of the Negative which the Qabalists speak of. 777 seems to 

confirm this, for Hadit is attributed to Line One and Nuit to 0; also same 

idea is symbolized in that which was granted to me when I made the Pantacle of 

Nuit.



I think the idea we ahould try to formulate, is very much that of the 

Qabalists, though the real meaning, is, I am convinced, a matter of 

experience. First was Nothing, and this may be called LA while it is 

considered as expanding into Limitless Space (Ain Soph) and becoming Limitless 

Light, perhaps. The Beginning of things was caused by a simple change of 

conception, as it were a "looking inwards" instead of outwards, and a 

corresponding change from LA to AL. I think the difference in the way the 

English and Hebrew Alphabets are written, is a good symbol of this, the 

direction is different, so that the two letters might stand for either LA or 

AL according to the manner in which we look upon them. The great value of this 

Word lies in the fact that the self-same symbol contains the ideas of Nothing 

and Something, without any change in itself, and this seems to be the one 

Symbol that gets over the difficult transition from NOT to ONE. Of course it 

was not even a Word in the beginning, but the Silent Breath, Expansion and 

Contraction, and the true theory of the Universe is that it was created by the 

First Breath of the Tao, or Nuit. We find this confirmed in _Liber Legis_ Ch. 

1 Verse 28. "None _breathed_ the _light_ faint and faery of the stars and 

two."



Here we have the idea of the first breath of Not (LA) the Limitless Light, 

which concentrates upon Kether which is ONE or Hadith, or AL and gives the 

first faint idea of duality which shows forth in the Word later - but which 

being composed of the ideas Nothing and One is really One.



Now Hadit is really unextended, and can only be imagined as the Minute Point 

of Light at that Point where LA changes into AL, for he is the Secret Centre. 

In order to get a somewhat clearer idea we must consider Nuit as dual, viz: 

LALA, when AL shows up as that Centre. In this case it is strange and worth 

noting that we have a word with the sound Laylah or Night, and I don't think 

the spelling matters for see Ch. III, "spelling is defunct." It is the sound 

that matters. I cannot help thinking ALLA in the same way produced and was 

concealed in Allah. we are told in Ch. I, V.9 to worship the Khabs (the house 

of Hadit) and behold my (Nuit's) light shed over you, because Khabs is the 

Cebtral Point of Light, and we thus perform an act similar to that which made 

Creation manifest, rather than Not.



Ch. I v 21.  With the God and the Adorer I am nothing, they do not see me. 

They are upon the earth. I am Heaven and there is no other God than me and my 

lord Hadit.



Now if Hadit = AL = God, then with Him is Nuit (LA) nothing. Also this is so 

with the Adorer unless he concentrates on Hadit as the Centre as instructed. 

Yet is also true that "there is no other God than me and my lord Hadit" for 

looked at one way the God is Nuit and the other Hadit.



Ch. I. v 22.  Clearly tells us that Nuit has a secret name. This I take to be 

LA (or possibly LALA). Also it is written in this verse "Bind nothing" and 

besides its obvious sense, this may be an expression of the binding of Nothing 

by concentration on a point. This Word binds nothing, as it causes the 

transition from Nothing to God.



Ch. I v 29.30  It will be seen that there really is no division.



Ch. I v 35. Note "threefold" Book of Law. [A]



Ch. I v. 40.  Note "Three grades." (Since making this note, I have had an 

opportunity of looking at the Equinox for a moment, and discovered that in 

Vol. 7, Comment. The Tarot Keys of the three Grades add to 31, which I 

consider a further proof. I may remark that I have been placed where I have no 

books but the V.S.L. for reference, and am therefore writing all these notes 

entirely from memory of my experience, which seems to make certain things 

clearer from day to day, as I apply my attention to different aspects of the 

work.)



Ch. I, v 45.  The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two, nay are 

none.



Here I think Nuit and Hadit are referred to as the Perfect, for this is 

claimed by Hadit, see Ch II, v 15. If Nuit be considered as LA and Hadit as 

AL, this is at once clear for they are One and yet None.



Ch. I, v 46.  Nothing is a secret key of this Law, sixty one the Jews call it. 

I call it eight, eighty, fourhundred and eighteen.



(I made a partial explanation of this in diary, but since I got a clearer and 

fuller one on Oct 21, I insert same here in its proper place.)



To-day I have made another attempt at the Qabalistic explanation of the verse. 

It is getting clearer. At the time of Initiation, it will be remembered 

O.I.V.V.I.O. identifies himself entirely with Parzival throughout. [B] For he 

says he found the Word, and the Word was Parzival. (There is of course a very 

definite connection between Parzival and Abrahadabra, the Word of the Aeon, 

through 418. And it is said that Abrahadabra shall be His child and that 

strangely) And Parzival having Eight letters, and Initial value 80 and total 

numeration of 418 is therefore connected with this verse. It was through this 

Name that he came upon the Mystery of AL and LA which is finally summed up in 

A, (as will be shown later.)



Let us take this verse again;



Nothing (LA) is a secret key of this _Law_. 61 (Ain) the Jews _called_ it, I 

call it 80.80.418 (Parzival, The Fool, Aleph, One). Therefore 61 plus 1 = 62.



But they have (also) the half 31 = AL (and they have Not (LA) the other half) 

and twice 31 is 62.



Therefore ALLA = 62 which is 6 plus 2 = 8 = Cheth = 418 = Parzival = Fool = 

Aleph = One (or None) and thus all disappears in One. Also since _ALLA_ 

becomes A, _ALL_ has disappeared.



Again it is written The Fool hath said in his heart There is NO-GOD = LA AL 

which again indicates the secret and I think LA AL in this form is the secret 

name or word of Ra HOOR Khuit. See Ch. III, v 49. I am s secret _fourfold_ 

word, the blasphemy against all the gods of men. Also, whereas Nuit and Hadit 

are ever united the division becomes manifest in R.H.K. For he says in Ch. 

III, v 2. There is division hither homeward, there is a word _not_ known. (Can 

there be any connection here with "She shall be known and I never?) Spelling 

is defunct, all is _not aught_. Not: AUGHT, may indicate the nature of the 

All LA, Not AL aught.



_Verse 48._  Note the OX or Aleph and the Fool or O, seems to indicate the 

explanation given above, also points to the idea that the key is something 

which itself combines these ideas.



Ch. I, v 51.  Mentions the 4 Gates, and this is the mystery of the path of 

Aleph again, and the fourfold name R.H.K. One can enter these in turn or at 

once, if he understands the trick of combinations.



Ch. I. v 52. "If this be not aright, if ye confound the space marks saying: 

They are one, or saying, They are many" etc.



There should be no space-marks, except on the plane of reason. When the 

experience of this mystery is granted, it will be seen how there are none, for 

the whole thing is a continuous process, even as Nuit is continuous.



Ch. I, v 55.  He has beheld some of them I think, as is proved by this 

writing.



Ch. I, v 56.  Indicates that there are two halves of the equation, even as 

there are two aspects of this Word.



Ch. I, v 57.  ?House of God = Beth-EL = Path of Beth?



Ch. II, v 2.  "I, hadit am the complement of Nuit my bride". This indicates 

they are really One or None, and I think the Word clears this up.



Verse 7.  "Come unto me" is a foolish word; for it is I that go". "Come unto 

me" is the call of Nuit. When Hadit (AL) considers Nuit (LA) or "lifts up his 

head" He becomes _Not_ therefore He goes.



Ch II, v 14.  "Now let there be a veiling of this shrine; now let the light 

devour men and eat them up with blindness"



Verse 15.  "For I am perfect being Not and my number is nine by the fools, but 

with the just I am eight and one in eight which is vital, for I am none 

indeed."



Hadit here clearly says he is Not, or BEING-NOT (a combination of Nuit and 

Hadit as the Perfect and Perfect, which, be it remembered are One, nay None.)

We have considered His particular aspect as AL rather than LA, but the 

previous verse indicates a blind. He is the shrine veiled by Not, for AL is 

the manifestation of LA, and LA is the hiding of AL (See first verse of 

Chapters I and II). He is Eight with the just because they consider the 

balance of things and so consider him as AL-LA which again gives 62 = 8 = 

Cheth = 418 = Fool = Aleph = None as explained before in answer to the riddle 

of Nuit. This shows he is One (Aleph) in eight, and also None, quite clearly.



Now comes the striking indication of an underlying formula in this Book, which 

can be read in two ways, and the very same Word is used to express this, only 

in the English instead of the Hebrew, which of course throws one off the scent 

of the mystery.



Ch. II, v 19.  "Is a God to live in a dog? No. But the highest are of us."



Now in English, God is Dog if reversed, but the Hebrew for God is AL which 

reversed gives LA which is Not. One can hardly get away from the hint of the 

true nature of the Key, once it is pointed out, especially since it is 

followed by the negative No. (another translation of LA) and a statement that 

the highest or those who comprehend this mystery. "are of us".



Ch. II, v 23.  I am alone; there is no God where I am.



I am AL-ONE, there is LA-AL where I am, viz: He is both one with Nuit and Ra-

Hoor-Khuit.



Ch. II, v 26.  I am the secret serpent (Wisdom of the Word) coiled about to 

spring. If I lift up my head I and my Nuit are one. If I droop down my head 

and shoot forth venom, there is rapture of the earth, and I and the earth are 

one.



Gives another proof of the peculiar dual aspect of the Word. It will be 

noticed that Nuit has said that the God and the Adorer are upon the Earth. As 

God, Hadit is one with the Earth, as NOT, he is one with Nuit. Also Hadit is 

called Her secret centre and the world, her heart and her tongue, the House or 

Home of Hadit, makes the spoken Word possible.



Verse 27.  There is great danger in reasoning over this Mystery, it must be 

realized.



Verse 32.  All their words are skew-wise, viz: they do not partake of the true 

peculiar nature of the True Word which is equally balanced and can be read 

either backwards or forwards.



Verse 33.  "Damned for a dog", the reverse of God in its wrong aspect.



Verse 76.  I don't make this out yet, but it seems to indicate that it will 

not come till later, after the Prophet's time. Anyway AL appears twice among 

the letters.



Ch. III, v 2.  This was commented upon before. This whole chapter appears to 

me to be quite a different character to the former ones. R-H-K is the Word as 

the offspring of Hadit and Nuit.



Verse 35.  The half of the word of Heru-ra-ha probably indicates some mystery 

in this division as indicated in Verse 2. I think thus far he has been LA, for 

in Verse 35 we have him worshipped as AL or God. (Unity-uttermost-might of 

_breath_)



Verse 47.  Note according to this theory the importance of the letters and 

their positions to one another. Also the statement that one shall discover the 

key of it all. (By the way, V. 39 makes a statement "In it is the word secret 

and not only in the English". I think this may mean that the Word AL does not 

appear at all, and NOT only appears in the English instead of Hebrew) [C]



I think Verse 48 terminates the AL section, and Verse 49 mentions the Fourfold 

word, which I have taken to be LA AL.



Verse 71 may indicate AL as Chochmah and LA as Binah and the solution of the 

Mystery in Kether Hadit.



Verse 74 may indicate that the splendour in His name hidden and glorious is 

the two centre letters A.A. The Silver Star. Note, according to Blavatsky AL 

is the Sun or Phallus.





                        Friday, 11th October 1918 E.V.

 

I spent last evening with Therion; during our conversation, he said that he 

thought Nuit and Hadit were best expressed as Matter and Motion. He also said 

that all things must be considered as Zero or Two, as if One were arrived at 

"there was no getting away from it." I pointed out that there must be some 

formula combining Zero and One, or the Tree of Life could never have been 

conceived of and formulated. He admitted this but said that so far he had 

failed to find such.



When I got to bed, I could not sleep, and a number of other things connected 

with this mystery came to me.



One was, the significant fact that when A.C. first got into touch with the 

Brothers of A.A. (See Vision and Voice, I have not any books here, so cannot 

quote), the Pass word was "There is No-God." This seems to confirm this Word, 

as the central secret of A.•.A.•. Who also gave out the New Law.



I also notice that NU reversed is UN or One. Likewise with the addition of IT 

Nuit is Unit.



Then I remembered that in Equinox V (I think) AL is clearly defined as the Ox 

and the Goad, also as MATTER and MOTION, and I cannot see how A.C. could have 

missed this connection with Nuit and Hadit, since it is undoubtedly the true 

formula of his present conception of Their nature.



Then I noticed another very important thing. I was wondering why A and L 

should be chosen, or rather why L, the 12th letter of the Hebrew alphabet 

should follow A, the first. But this is not actually the case for AL is the 

first sound in the pronunciation of Aleph the First letter of the Hebrew 

alphabet (as it is also of Alpha) and the addition of Pe shows the mouth as 

necessary to the spoken word, though in Kether, it was but a silent breath 

through the nose. (Notice kether is called "Long of nose", also the Image is 

on a Face seen in profile, viz: only one aspect of the word can be comsidered 

at a time in the reasoning mind). It is strange also how L is pronounced LA-

med, this showing the duality as soon as it is taken into consideration as a 

seperate letter.



Thus is AL, in very truth the first possible sound, and notice that when one 

pronounces it aloud, the tongue is raised and placed against the teeth, but as 

soon as it is released, LA is automatically pronounced by a slightly indrawn 

breath. In the Silent breath of the Beginning this is reversed, AL is the 

underlying sound of the indrawn breath and LA that of the outgoing.



Now notice how Hadit is spoken of as the tongue of Nuit and how when His head 

is raised etc. and lowered etc.



Note also how in pronouncing the first letter Aleph, one's tongue must meet 

the teeth, and the tooth is Shin, the 31st path; also see how these paths were 

welded in the Initiation of O.I.V.V.I.O.



Note. LA LA may stand for NOT NOT, or "something"; it also suggests 0 = 0 or 0 

to the o degree.



ALLA suggests 1 to the o degree

LAAL suggests 0 to the 1st degree

Nothing under its three forms.



I also found, which seems to be of the greatest importance that the essence of 

Thelema is summed up in this Word. A is the pentagram, the _Star_ of _Will_ 

and L is Libra, Justice or the Law, while 31 backwards is 13 which is Love and 

Unity. [D]





                                 October 16th



Another discovery. During the Initiation of Dec. 1917 the mind of O.I.V.V.I.O. 

must have actually reversed and run backwards (See _Liber Thisharb_) so that 

on reaching the beginning of the ideas underlying the Hebrew Alphabet he 

naturally arrived at the first letter ALP in its reverse order. He came 

therefore to P which accounts for the Flash (destroying the House of God or 

Beth EL) then in due sequence to LA or nothing. This again reversed, as 

stated, and he got AL followed by another flash P. Observe how all this is 

summed up in the One letter ALP which is One and None.



Further, the process as described, produces the two A's thus indicating the 

inmost meaning of A.A.



But now if we begin to take into consideration 2 letters, we find in the 

return process BA = To come or Go, which again reverses as AB, The Father. 

Analysing the complete process we get Th.I.P.B.L.A.A.L.B.I.Th.



Th = The Tau Cross mentioned by O.I.V.V.I.O. as the sign accompanying the 

     process. Also, The Universe.

I  = The creative essence (also hand which makes sign) and this is the Spark 

     of Light, first seen outside.

B  = The Magician who makes the sign; also the House of God, the Body.

P  = The Flash referred to, and the destruction of all resulting in

L  = balance, then

A  = Equilibrium, the Point perfectly centered in breast. (Hadit comprehended 

     for a moment.)

AL = God

P  = Another Flash (Flaming Sword).

B  = Comprehension of this dual process in One and Nothing and understanding 

     of Beth El as true House of God.

I  = Creative essence of the Word.

Th = Producing a New Universe. (Notice how all this is borne out in the actual 

     experience of O.I.V.V.I.O. as recorded.)





                                  October 19



Another discovery re PARZIVAL, (as already mentioned)that this Word reversed 

was what led me to the discovery of the Mystery of AL and finally to that of 

Aleph in which all is summed up.



I also noticed to-day that the Three Grades of the Order may be summed up in 

the Letter Beth. For Beth is the Magician or the Lover, Yod is the Hermit and 

Th the Universe or Man of Earth.



Again AL suggests, by shape, the Square and Compass very accurately, as used 

by Masons to Symbolise God.



Now I feel that there is no more to be said on this matter at this time, 

therefore I may return to the Contemplation of this Mystery in Silence.





                            STATEMENT OF THE AUTHOR

                                March 13, 1948

                         

I, CHARLES STANSFIELD JONES, (Frater Achad, etc.) of "Tall Timbers", Deep 

Cove, British Columbia, Canada, being the author of the accompanying 

manuscript entitled "Liber Thirty-One" (a part of my private magical diary, 

originally transcribed and typed with one carbon copy in November 1918, the 

single copy having been delivered to Aleister Crowley by mail early in 

September 1919 and since lost or destroyed) do now make the following 

statement:



On March 4, 1948, I received from Gerald J. Yorke, Esq., of 5, Montaque 

Square, London, W.1., England, a letter which contained the following:



"As you probably know A.C. had died. I am sorting his papers prior to their 

dispatch to America. Your Liber 31 has not survived amongst these papers, 

though there is a reference to it on page 127 of _The Equinox of the Gods_. 

Would you care to send me a copy, which on my death will go to the British 

Museum with my other Crowleyana. I think it important that one copy of your 

treatise 31 should exist in this country, as if it does so exist it will be 

available for anyone sufficiently interested in _Liber Al_ to wish to see it."



In response to this request, and for the purpose stated by Mr. Yorke, I have 

had prepared from the single original manuscript in my possession one further 

typescript and four carbon copies. The typescript which accompanies this 

statement has been personally checked by me and is a true copy (only one extra 

note having been added on the first page in reference to original date of 

delivery of ms.) Of the four extra carbon copies it is my intention to deliver 

one to Miss Grace R. Hallam of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and one to 

Dr. J.P. Kowal of 5821 Chene Street, Detroit 11, Michigan, U.S.A. so that 

there may be a record in these countries as well as in England. One of the 

remaining two copies will be attached to the original manuscript in my files, 

and the other kept in case of later publication or other need. Further copies 

are not be be made without my written permission.

[A]



Oct. 31st. "LAW" is LA (Nuit-Hadit) completed by W = {Vau Vau}, the Son RHK 

is His dual aspect as Horus-Harpocrates.  Also Vau is the Hierophant "Hoor in 

His secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating."





[B]



Oct 31st 1918 E.V. Just before sleeping I had an impression that if I added up 

the total letters in my Mottoes they would = 31. I did so mentally and found 

UNUS IN OMNIBUS (= 13 = Achad) OMNIA IN UNO (= 10.•.1 = 10) PARZIVAL = 8. 13 = 

10 = 8 = 31.



This is extraordinary becuase it was a kind of revelation.





[C]



I think this is one of the reasons why the Original in the writing of the 

Beast must always be included with any translation into other tongues. For 

there are mysteries in the _English_ that would not work out if translated.





[D]



Ruler of {Libra} is {Venus} = Love. Love is the law, love under will.
