(Here the Scribe threatened the demon with anger and pain and hell. The demon replied:) Thinkest thou, O fool, that there is any anger and any pain that I am not, or any hell but this my spirit? Images, images, images, all without control, all without reason. The malice of Choronzon is not the malice of a being; it is the quality of malice, because he that boasteth himself “JT am I,” hath in truth no s…

…uilibrate the symbols. The temple must be builded before the God can indwell it. 22. Therefore by the order of D.D.S. did P. prepare all things by his arcane science and wisdom, choosing only those symbols which were common to all systems, and rigorously rejecting all names and words which might be supposed to imply any religious or metaphysical theory.
