The Law is for All
61. There is a light before thine eyes, o prophet, a light 
undesired, most desirable.
62. I am uplifted in thine heart; and the kisses of the stars rain 
hard upon thy body.
Commentary: “uplifted in thine heart”:—compare “The 
Book of the Heart Girt with a Serpent.”1

inspiration; the expiration is sweeter than death, more rapid 
and laughterful than a caress of Hell’s own worm.
Commentary: This verse conceals a certain Magical Formula 
of the loftiest initiation. It refers to a method of using the breath,

64. Oh! thou art overcome: we are upon thee; our delight is all 
over thee: hail! hail: prophet of Nu! prophet of Had! prophet 
of Ra-Hoor-Khu! Now rejoice! now come in our splendour 
& rapture! Come in our passionate peace, & write sweet 
words for the Kings!
Commentary: “the Kings” are evidently those men who are 
capable of understanding Themselves. This is a consecration of 
The Beast to the task of putting forth The Law.
“thou art overcome”. The conscious resisted desperately, and 
died in the last ditch.
65. I am the Master: thou art the Holy Chosen One.
Commentary: It is curious that this verse should be num­
bered 65, suggesting l.v.x. and Adonai, the Holy Guardian 
Angel. It seems then that He is Hadit. I have never liked the term
