…, informeth us: “In the sphere Iam everywhere the centre.” And again: “I am Life and the giver of Life . . . ‘come unto me’ is a foolish word: for it is I that go.” “For I am perfect, being Not.” For this Life is in every place and time at once, so that in It these limitations no longer exist. And you will have seen this for yourself, that in every act of Love time and space disappear with the creation of the Life by its virtue, as also doth personality itself. For the third time, then, in even subtler sense, “The word of Sin is Restriction.” L…

…iber Legis—The Book of the Law.—Ep.] “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” “There is no Law beyond Do what thou wilt.” “The word of the law is @ednpa.” 6eXnpa—Thelema—means Will. The Key to this Message is this word—Will. The first obvious meaning of this Law is confirmed by antithesis: “The word of Sin is Restriction.” Again: “Thou hast no right but to do thy will. Do that and no other shall say nay. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way per- fect.” Take this carefully; it seems to i…

…s during singing practice occurred while trying over new music with the choir of which I am a member, and it is very hard to leave out a word when singing. I find this practice makes one speak much less. The word chosen being a conjunction often results in the second part of a sentence remaining unspoken. I never before noticed how unneces- sary some of our speech is; in fact I have now no doubt that a great many things are better left unsaid. Monday, Jan. oth. Bedtime.

…and Darkness, and Nothing. But in this, as in all other effort to name it, is the root of every fal- sity and misapprehension, since all words imply some dual- ity. Therefore, though I call it Light, it is not Light, nor absence of Light. Many also have sought to describe it by contradictions, since through transcendent negation of all speech it may by some natures be attained. Also by images and symbols have men striven to express it: but always in vain. Yet those that were ready to apprehend the nature of this Light have understood by sympath…

…waves, whose step touches not the waters. This partly refers to certain Iddhi, concerning Under- standing of Devas (gods) etc.; here the word ‘wind’ may be interpreted as ‘spirit.’ It is comparatively easy to reach this state, and it has no great importance. The ‘walker of the sky’ is much superior to the mere reader of the minds of ants. 39.

The words “Silent Speaker” may be con- sidered as a hieroglyph of the same character as LOGOS, 378, or the Ineffable Name. 12. For then the Soul will hear and will remember. The word “hear” alludes to the tradition that hearing is the organ of Spirit, just as seeing is that of Fire. The word 12

… Path. ‘Ascetic’ comes from the Greek Askio, to work curiously, to adorn, to exercise, to train. The Latin Ars is derived from this same word. Artist, in its finest sense of creative crafts- man, is therefore the best translation. The word has degen- erated under Puritan foulness. 15.

…to imply courage of a very active kind. It is the quality which persists in spite of all opposition. It must not be for- gotten that the word “patience” is derived from Patior, I suffer. But, especially with the ancients, suffering was not conceived of as a purely passive function. It was keenly ac- tive and intensely enjoyable. There are certain words to- day still extant in which the original meaning of this word lingers, and consideration may suggest to the Student the true and secret meaning of this passage, “Accendat in nobis Dominus ignem…

…o the hearts of men.” They ‘shall’; there is no doubt. Therefore doubt not, but strike with all thy strength. Note also, pray thee, this word: “The Law is for all.” Do not therefore ‘se- lect suitable persons’ in thy worldly wisdom; preach openly the Law to all men. In Our experience We have found that the most unlikely means have produced the best results; and indeed it is almost the definition of a true Magical Formula that the means should be unsuited, rationally speaking, to the end proposed. Note, pray thee, that We are bound to teach. “He…

THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE together form a single word or Trinity, indicating that the Real must ‘be regarded as of this three-fold nature, Birth, Life and Death, not successive, but one.

Fighting most certainly is Love! “As brothers fight ye!” All the manly races of the world understand this. The Love of Liber Legis is always bold, virile, even orgiastic. There is delicacy, but it is the delicacy of strength. Mighty and ter- rible and glorious as it is, however, it is but the pennon upon the sacred lance of Will, the damascened inscripti…

THE EQUINOX 8 P.M., Dec. 16. Have just been working out the meaning of the word obtained last night. I then thought the value was 507=“That which causes ferment” or 5 plus 7=12=He longed for, missed, etc. This shows how I went astray. I find however that the word actually adds to 607=Adam Primus. But 6 plus 7=13 Unity, Love, and The Tarot Trump is DEATH, and this is what he said he was writing. (Note Apr. 21, 1917. Ha=The Sun; tha=The Moon, as stated in the Hatha-Yoga Pradipiha.) .
