The Law is for All

Chapter I A Verse 7 31 while later Mary attributed her condition to the agency of a Spirit—spiritus, “breath,” or “air”—in the shape of a dove. But the “Small Person” of Hindu mysticism, the Dwarf insane yet crafty of many legends in many lands, is also this same “Holy Ghost,” or Silent Self of a man, or his Holy Guardian Angel. He is almost the “Unconscious” of Freud, unknown, unac­ countable, the silent Spirit, blowing “whither it listeth, but thou canst not tell whence it cometh or whither it goeth.”1 It com­ mands with absolute authority when it appears at all, despite con­ scious reason and judgment. 1 [John 3:8.] 2 Six being the number of the Sun, the God-Man, etc. 3 See Liber 418. [Crowley, Liber XXX /Erum ... The Vision and the Voice; see Works Cited. See especially the 16th /Ethyr.] Aiwass is then, as this verse 7 states, the “minister” of this Hoor-paar-kraat, that is of the Saviour of the World in the larger sense, and of mine own “Silent Self” in the lesser. A “minister” is one who performs a service, in this case evidently that of reveal­ ing; He was the intelligible medium between the Babe God—the New £on about to be born—and myself. This Book of the Law is the Voice of his Mother, His Father, and Himself. But on His appearing, He assumes the active form twin to Harpocrates, that of Ra-Hoor-Khuit. The Concealed Child becomes the Conquering Child, the armed Horus avenging his father Osiris. So also our own Silent Self, helpless and witless, hidden within us, will spring forth, if we have craft to loose him to the Light; spring lustily forward with his Cry of Battle, the Word of our True Wills. This is the Task of the Adept, to have the Knowledge and Conversation of His Holy Guardian Angel, to become aware of his nature and his purpose, fulfilling them. Why is Aiwass thus spelt, when Aiwaz is the natural transliter­ ation of TTI? [oivz]? Perhaps because he was not content with identifying Himself with Thelema, Agape, etc., by the number 93, but wished to express His nature by six letters1 2 whose value in Greek should be A = l, 1 = 10, F =6, A = l, £=200, £=200: total 418, the number of Abrahadabra, the Magical Formula of the new /Eon! Note that I ['] and v [1] are the letters of the Father and the Son, also of the Virgin and the Bull,3 protected on either
