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. We are to organize 
our minds thoroughly, appointing few and secret chiefs, serving 
Nuit, to discipline the varied departments of the conscious 
thought.
11. These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men 
are fools.
12. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill of 
love!
Commentary: The whole doctrine of “love” is discussed in 
the Book Aleph (Wisdom or Folly) and should be studied therein. 
But note further how this verse agrees with the comment above, 
how every Star is to come forth from its veils, that it may revel 
with the whole World of Stars. This is again also a call to unite, or 
“love,” thus formulating the equation 1 + (-1) = 0,1 which is the 
general magical formula in our Cosmos.
1 The Hon. Bertrand Russell might prefer to write this: +1 + (-1) = 0. 
For Initiates of the ix° of o.T.o. it could be expressed: <p + k = r = 0, 
where <p-K= 0, and <f> and k are both positive integers.
“Come forth”—from what are you hiding? “under the stars,” 
that is, openly. Also, let love be “under” or “unto” the Body of 
Nuit. But above all, be open! What is this shame? Is Love hid­
eous, that men should cover him with lies? Is Love so sacred that 
others must not intrude? Nay, “under the stars,” at night, what 
eye but theirs may see? Or, if one see, should not your worship 
wake the cloisters of his soul to echo sanctity for that so lovely a 
deed and gracious you have done?
13. I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is 
to see your joy.
