The effect of the Ritual has been (a) to keep them so busy with their own work that they cease to distract him; (b) to separate them so completely that his soûl is stripped of its sheaths ; (c) to arouse in him an enthusiasm so intense as to intoxicate and anaesthetize him, that he may not feel and resent the agony of this spiritual vivisection, just as bashful lovers get drunk on the wedding night, in order to brazen out the intensity of shame which so mysteriously coexists with their desire ; (d) to concentrate the necessary spiritual forces …

POINT III SCHOLION ON SECTIONS G & Gg. The Adept who has mastered this Ritual, successfully realising the full import of this controlled rapture, ought not to allow his mind to loosen its grip on the astral imagery of the Star-spate, Will-Symbol, or Soul-symbol, or even to forget its duty to the body and the sensible surroundings. Nor should he omit to keep his Body of Light in close touch with the phenonema of its own plane, so that its privy consciousness may fulfil its proper functions of protecting his scattered ideas from obsession.

The Practicus should revive this Ritual throughout in the Light of his personal researches in the Qabalah, and thus make it his own peculiar property. The spelling here suggested implies that he who utters the Word affirms his allegiance to the symbols 93 and 6; that he is a warrior in the army of Will and of the Sun. 93 is also the number of AIWAZ and 6 of The Beast. 290

Such an expérience might indeed be the proof of perfection. If the Adept is to be any wise conscious of his Angel it must be that some part of his mind is prepared to réalisé the rapture, and to express it to it…
