24 The Law is for All with Anu and Adad the supreme Mother and Father deities of the Sumerians. Taken in connection with the Aiwaz identifica­ tion, this is very striking indeed. It is also to be considered that Nu is connected with North, while Had is Sad, Set, Satan, sat (equals “Being” in Sanskrit), South. He is then the Sun, one point concentring Space, as also is any other star. The word Abrahadabra is from Abrasax, Father Sun, which adds to 365. For the North-South antithesis see Fabre-d’Olivet’s Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Origin of the Social State of Man) Note sax also as a Rock, or Stone, whence the symbol of the Cubical Stone, the Mountain Abiegnus, and so forth. Nu is also reflected in naus, “Ship,” etc., and that whole symbolism of Hollow Space which is familiar to all. There is also a question of identifying Nu with On, Noah, Oannes, Jonah, John, Dianus, Diana, and so on. But these identifications are all partial only, different facets of the Diamond Truth. We may neglect all these questions, and remain in the simplicity of this Her own Book. 2. The unveiling of the company of heaven. Commentary: This explains the general theme of this revela­ tion: gives the Dramatis Personae, so to speak. It is, cosmographically, the conception of the two Ultimate Ideas: Space, and That which occupies Space. It will however appear later that these two ideas may be resolved into one, that of Matter; with Space, its “Condition” or “form,” included therein. This leaves the idea of “Motion” for Hadit, whose interplay with Nuit makes the Universe. Time should perhaps be considered as a particular kind or dimension of Space.1 2 1 [Antoine Fabre-d’Olivet, Hermeneutic Interpretation of the Origin of the Social State of Man, tr. Redfield (1921), ch. 1; see Works Cited.] 2 In Berashith all qualities soever are considered as so many dimensions. I see no reason, 19 years later, for receding from this view.
