The Holy Books

21. With the God and the Adorer I am nothing: they do not see me. They are upon the earth; Ι am Heaven, and there is no other God than me, and my lord Hadit. 22. Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am infinite space, and the infinite stars thereof do ye also thus. Bind nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing and any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt. 23. But Whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all ! 24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty. 25. Divide, add, multiply, and understand. 26. Then said the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bending down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all- penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, and her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body. 5
