THE EQUINOX take it. These persons cannot accept the Law. This also is understood and provided for in the Book of the Law: “The slaves shall serve.” But it is possible for any apparent slave to prove his mastery by fighting his oppressors, even as now; but he has this additional chance in our system, that his conduct will be watched with kindly eye by our authori- ties, and his prowess rewarded by admission to the ranks of the master-class. Also, he will be given fair play. You may now ask how such arrangements are possible. There is only one s…

…on of a New Aeon. When it becomes necessary to utter a Word, the whole Planet must be bathed in blood. Before man is ready to accept the Law of Thelema, the Great War must be fought . This Bloody Sacrifice is the critical paint of the World-Ceremony of the Proclamation of Horus, the Crowned and Conquering Child, as Lord of the Aeon. 2 The whole matter is prophesied in The Book of the Law itself; let the student take note, and enter the ranks of the Host of the Sun.

… which you shall do as I have already shewn you. But I will now make mention of that which is written concerning this in the Book of the Law. The first step being Will, Evil appears as by this defini- tion, “all that hinders the execution of the Will.” Therefore is it written: “The word of Sin is Restriction.” It should also be noted that in the Book of the Thirty 7Athyrs Evil appears as Choronzon whose number is 333, which in Greek importeth Impotence and Idleness: and the nature of Cho- ronzon is Dispersion and Incoherence. Then in the Way of…

THE EQUINOX morously pretended that this Book is an ancient Tibetan writing.—Eb.] 19. Saith the Great Law: “In order to become the knower of ALL-SELF, thou hast first of SELF to be the knower.” To reach the knowledge of that SELF, thou hast to give up Self to Non-Self, Being to Non-Being, and then thou canst repose between the wings of the GREAT BIRD. Aye, sweet is rest between the wings of that which is not born, nor dies, but is the AUM throughout eternal Ages. The words “give up” may be explained as “yield” in its subtler or quasi-masochisti…

Short of the ideals above outlined, you may as well have a pis aller-words of astonishing insight and wisdom, not alien to the Law Thelema, and written by one who was trained on The Book of the Law.

…tself, of becoming self- conscious; and one also perceives the stupendous transcen- dentalism concealed in the phrase of the Book of the Law: “Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog!” This Universe—the IO PAN PAN and the OIMOI TALAINOI too—is a Play of Our Merry Lady. It is as natural to have all this heavy stuff about the Weary Pilgrim’s Bleeding Feet, and the Candidate for Woe, and all that, as it is for Theseus and Hippolyta to decide that Pyramus and Thisbe may amuse them. The Public will then kindly excuse the Magus if He be of a nature…

We were introduced warmly to the women, and began jabbering as if we had known each other all our lives.
