The Law is for All
He is “not extended”; that is, without condition of any sort in 
the metaphysical sense. Only in the highest trances can the nature 
of these truths be realized. It is indeed a supra-rational experience 
not dissimilar to those characteristic of the “Star-Sponge” Vision 
previously described1 that can help us here. The trouble is that the 
truth itself is unfitted to the dualistic reason of “normal” man­
kind. Hadit seems to be the principle of Motion which is every­
where, yet is not extended in any dimension except as it chances 
to combine with the “Matter” which is Nuit. There can evidently 
be no manifestation apart from this conjunction. A “Khabs” or 
Star is apparently any nucleus where this conjunction has taken 
place. The real philosophical difficulty about this cosmogony is 
not concerned with any particular equation, or even with the 
Original Equation. We can understand x = ab, x1 = a^b^ etc.; and 
also 0° = pa + qb, whether pa - qb = 0 or not. But we ask how the 
homogeneity of both Nuit and Hadit can ever lead to even the 
illusion of “difference.” The answer appears to be that this differ­
ence appears naturally with the self-realization of Nuit as the 
totality of possibilities; each of these, singly and in combination, 
is satisfied or set in motion by Hadit, to compose a particular 
manifestation. 0° could possess no signification at all, unless there 
were diverse dimensions wherein it had no extension. “Nothing” 
means nothing save from the point of view of “Two,” just as 
“Two” is monstrous unless it is seen as a mode of “Nothing.”

2 [Hadit + Nuit = Ra-Hoor-Khuit.]
The above explanation appears somewhat disingenuous, since 
there is no means whatever of distinguishing any Union H + N = 
R from another.1 2 We must postulate a further stage.
R (Ra-Hoor-Khuit), Kether, Unity, is always itself; but we may 
suppose that a number of such homogeneous positive manifesta­
tions may form groups differing from each other as to size and 
structure so as to create the illusion of diversity.
