34 The Law is for All 1:34 “my servants”; not those of the Lord of the /Eon. “the Law is for all”; there can be no secrecy about that. The verse refers to specially chosen “servants”; perhaps those who, worshipping the Khabs, have beheld Her light shed over them. Such persons indeed consummate the marriage of Nuit and Hadit in them selves; in that case they are aware of certain Ways to Power. There is also a mystical sense in this verse.

…wiss and a German-Swiss.) In the same way read the Life of Napoleon written by one of his marshals, by Michelet (a rabid Republican), by Lord Roseberry, by a patriotic Russian, and by a German poet and philosopher: one can hardly believe that the subject of any two of these biographies is the same man. But upon certain points the identity is bound to transpire; even when we read of his crushing and classic defeat at Waterloo by the Belgians, the man is detected. Transferring the analogy to the Gods, it is then open to us to suppose that Tahuti,…

This error has been the foundation of ail dogmatic religions, and so the cause of more misery than ail other errors combined.
