The Law is for All
5. Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before
the Children of men!
Commentary: Here Nuit appeals, simply and directly, recog
nizing the separate function of each Star of her Body. Though all
is One, each part of that One has its own special work, each Star
its particular Orbit.
In addressing me as warrior lord of Thebes, it appears as if She
perceived a certain continuity or identity of myself with Ankh-f-n-
khonsu, whose Stele is the Link with Antiquity of this Revela
tion.1 See Equinox 1(7), pp. 363-400, for the account of this
event.1 2
1 [Ankh-f-n-khonsu (Ankhefenkhons i) was an Egyptian priest of
Month (Mentu) who flourished in Thebes c. 725 b.c.e.J
2 [This account was republished in as Chapter 6 of “Genesis Libri AL”
in The Equinox of the Gods (Book 4, Part /V).]
3 [Ouarda the Seer was Rose Edith Crowley (1874-1932), Crowley’s
first wife and the first of a series of Scarlet Women. She assisted with
the reception of The Book of the Law.]
The unveiling is the Proclamation of the Truth previously
explained, that the Body of Nuit occupies Infinite Space, so that
every Star thereof is Whole in itself, an independent and absolute
Unit. They differ as Carbon and Calcium differ, but each is a sim
ple “immortal” Substance, or at least a Form of some simpler
Substance. Each soul is thus absolute, and “good” or “evil” are
merely terms descriptive of relations between destructible combi
nations. Thus Quinine is “good” for a malarial patient, but “evil”
for the germ of the disease. Heat is “bad” for ice-cream and
“good” for coffee. The indivisible essences of things, their
“Souls,” are indifferent to all conditions soever, for none can in
any way affect them.
6. Be thou Hadit, my secret centre, my heart & my tongue!
7. Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-
kraat.
Commentary: Aiwass is the name given by Ouarda the Seer3
as that of the Intelligence Communicating.
