…fare. He found that The Book of the Law holds the keys to the Next Step in human evolution, and sets forth the spiritual principles of a New Aeon. He worked for decades to interpret its meaning for initiates and the general public, but rejected commentary after commentary as inadequate. He eventually concluded that he was too close to his subject to judge the value of his own commentaries, and entrusted the task to his best friend, Louis Wilkinson. Wilkinson (who wrote under the pen-name Louis Marlow) possessed impressive literary qualification…

…eat; and that the more widely the principles of The Book of the Law are adopted, the better chance there will be for our escape from a renewal, on a more disastrous scale, of the calamities of the past quarter of a century. If those principles come to be generally adopted, I believe that mankind will issue triumphantly from the evils of its past. A veritable “New Order” will be set up, bringing with it a general realization of what the “Good Life” means, and operating with a veritably “revolutionizing” effect beyond the most sanguine dreams of …

Chapter II * Verse 5 91 reflect respectively Nuit and Hadit from the Ain and Kether. The process is to use each new item of knowledge to correct and increase one’s comprehension of the Subject of the Proposition. Thus arb should tell us: A is (not A, as we supposed, but) A. This facilitates the discovery a,r,c leading to a, is a2; and so on. In practice, everything that we learn about (e.g.) “horse” helps us to understand—to enjoy—the idea. The difference between the scholar and the schoolboy is that the former glows and exults when he is remin…

Regardie’s title The Law is for All has been retained, not only for the practical reason that this new edition replaces his, but because this title — a line from The Book of the Law— is appro priate for a popular edition.

…external imperfection of marrons glacés; they no longer represent its infinitely varied nature. It therefore rejects them, and creates a new form of itself, such as Nightgowns with pale yellow ribbons or Amber Cigarettes. In the same way a poet or painter, wishing to express Beauty, is impelled to choose a particular form; with luck, this is at first able to recompose in him what he feels; but sooner or later he finds that he has failed to include certain elements of himself, and he must needs embody these in a new poem or picture.

…ster” 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.

…e mend these, and end those. This “Knowledge” is the initiated Wisdom of this /Eon of Horus. See Book 4, Part III, for an account of the new principles of Magick. Note that Knowledge is Daath, Child of Chokmah by Binah, and crown of Microprosopus; yet he is not one of the Sephiroth, and his place is in the Abyss. By this symbolism we draw atten tion to the fact that Knowledge is by nature impossible; for it implies Duality, and is therefore relative. Any proposition of Knowledge may be written “arb”: “a has the relation r to b.” 1:3
