The Second Chapter
1. Nu! the hiding of Hadit.
Commentary: We see again set forth the complementary 
character of Nuit and Hadit. Nu conceals Had because He is 
Everywhere in the Infinite, and She manifests Him for the same 
reason. (See verse 3.) Every Individual manifests the Whole; and 
the Whole conceals every Individual. The Soul interprets the Uni­
verse; and the Universe veils the Soul. Nature understands Herself 
by becoming self-conscious in Her units; and the Consciousness 
loses its sense of separateness by dissolution in Her.
There has been much difficulty in the orthography (in sacred 
languages) of these names. Nu is clearly stated to be 56, 1]; but 
Had is only hinted obscurely. This matter is discussed later more 
fully; verses 15 and 16.
2. Come! all ye, and learn the secret that hath not yet been 
revealed. I, Hadit, am the complement of Nu, my bride. I am 
not extended, and Khabs is the name of my House.
Commentary: Khabs—“a star”—is an unit of Nuit, and 
therefore Nuit Herself. This doctrine is enormously difficult of 
apprehension, even after these many years of study.
Hadit is the “core of every star”, verse 6. He is thus the Imper­
sonal Identity within the Individuality of “every man and every 
woman”.
