…Joy; and the snake that is the crown of Ra bindeth them about with the golden girdle of the death- kisses. 65. So also is the end of the book, and the Lord Adonai is about it on all sides like a Thunderbolt, and a Pylon, and a Snake, and a Phallus, and in the midst thereof He is like the Woman that jetteth out the milk of the stars from her paps; yea, the milk of the stars from her paps. 98

… on watch, wait the jackals themselves, to devour the carcasses of those who have not seen Him, or who have not known His Name. 1See the Book of Lies Cap. πβ, Bortsch. This is the threshold of life; this is the threshold of death. All is doubtful, all is mysteri‐ ous, all is intoxicating. Not the benign, solar intoxication of Dionysus, but the dreadful mad‐ ness of pernicious drugs; this is a drunkenness of sense, after the mind has been abolished by the venom of this Moon. This is that which is written of Abraham in the Book of the Beginning: …

…ries but one. The simple Truth is what I have always asserted. There is a Being called Aiwaz, an intelligence discarnate, who wrote this Book of the Law, using my ears and hand. His mind is certainly superior to my own in knowledge and in power, for He has dominated me and taught me ever since. But that apart, the proof of any discarnate intelligence, even of the lowest order, has never before been established. And lack of that proof is the flaw in all the religions of the past; man could not be certain of the existence of “God,” because though…

I had no appetite at lunch, and Peter wouldn’t eat. He burst out in a hysterical appeal to me, reminded me of our love, and said he couldn’t believe it was all a sham. Why had I gone into the plot to drive him to death? He doesn’t eat, because he thinks the food is poisoned ; and when he saw that I wasn’t eating, it convinced him that I was in the plot agai…

…ent order, and allow the reader to work out his own approach to their contents. It is suggested that the reader first browse through the book as a whole in order to become familiar with the general nature of the material presented. Do remember that there is a table of contents and an index. Later, the reader could take one letter at a time, dealing with a certain topic, study it, and meditate on whatever sections of that letter seem to warrant it. In this way, I believe, he will obtain a great deal more from this very profound book than if he t…

The old man might be able to give me some elixir. I wouldn’t mind if it killed my body; if my spirit were free I could fulfil my destiny... . Just as I closed the book I heard an answering shot.

…nly-pointed nose, or yell "Whoop La!" and make for Piccadilly Circus: in either case you will be wrong; you will not have understood the Book. Shameful confession, one of my own Chelas (or so it is rather incredibly reported to me) said recently: "Self-discipline is a form of Restriction." (That, you remember, is "The Word of Sin.") Of all the utter rubbish! (Anyhow, he was a "centre of pestilence" for discussing the Book at all.) About 90 percent of Thelema, at a guess, is nothing but self-discipline.

I cannot talk of what has happened during those three days, it seems useless to try and do so, in fact it seems useless to make this entry at all except that J know not what is before me, and I feel that had I (or if I) lived longer upon this planet it would have been my life work, indeed it must have been, to help others to the Path.
