PROPHECY
259
the Tree whose root is 31, and the entire numerical-verbal
system based thereupon organized with incredibly simple
intricacy; well, that is an Eohippus of an entirely different
tint! It is no more the chance (if happy) statement of any
smooth-tongued philosopher, but the evidence of, and the
key to, an incalculably vast design. As well attribute the
Riemann-Christoffel Tensor to the "happy thought" of some
post -prandial rna them a tician.
Here is another case.
Now then this two-in-One letter <. 0, is the third Key to
this Law; and on the discovery of that fact, after years of
constant seeking, what sudden splendours of Truth, sacred as
secret, blazed in he midnight of my mind! Observe now; "this
circle squared in its failure is a key also.' Now I knew that in
the value of the letters of ALHIM, 'the Gods', the Jews had
concealed a not quite correct value of n, the ratio of a
circle's circumference to its diameter, to 4 places of decimals:
3.1415; nearer would be 3.1416. If I prefix our Key, 31
putting ()« 0, Set or Satan, before the old Gods, I get
3.141593,1T correct to Six places, Six being my own number
and that of Horus the Sun.
And one more, this time an actual prediction.
Here again is what might at first seem almost an evasion!
"One cometh after him," indeed! I suppose so. It fits
anybody who discovers it or claims to have done so.
Not one little bit!
For when the time came, and the Key was found, the
finder's name in the Order was-and had been from the
moment of his admission as a Probationer-A chad , the
Hebrew word for "One." And he came "after him" in the
precise technical sense, that he was in fact the next person to
undertake the Adventure of the Abyss.
I hope you are not getting the idea that my Prophetic
ambit
is limited
to these high-falutin'
metaphysical
masterpieces of Runic Lore. In case you do, I now propose to
break your "seven green withes that were never dried"
