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.
