Da
De Virtute Chirurgica
(Of the Value of Surgery)
NOW that the Cult of the Slave-Gods is a Device
of those Black Brothers. All that stagnateth is
thereof, and thence cometh not Stability, but
Putrefaction. Endure not thou the static Standards either in
Thought or in Action. Resist not even the Change that is
the Rottenness of Choronzon, but rather speed it, so that the
elements may combine by Love under Will. Since the Black
Brothers and their Cults set hemselves against Change, do
thou break them asunder. Yea, though of bad come worse,
continue in that Way; for it is as if thou didst open an
Abscess, the first Effect being noisome exceedingly, but the
last Cleanness. Heed not then, whoso crieth Anarchy, and
Immorality, and Heresy against thee, and feareth to destroy
Abuse lest worse Things come of it.
For he Will of the
Universe in its Wholeness is to Truth, and hou dost well to
purge it from its Costiveness.
For it is written that there is
no bond that can unite the Divided but Love, so that only
those Complexes which are in Truth Simplicities, being built
Cell by Cell unto an Unity by Virtue of Love under Will, are
worthy to endure in their Progression.
