But we must work without “lust of result,” taking everything as it comes without desire indeed, but with all manner of delight! Let thy Love-Madrigal to Death, thy Mother-Mistress, ripple and swell throughout the years, with all the Starry Heaven for thine Orchestra; but do not imagine that to attain Her is the sole satis faction. It is the yearning itself that is Beatitude. …

…my life itself from this time on is no more than a record of my reactions to it. To recapitulate the historical basis of The Book of the Law, let me say that evolution (within human memory) shows three great steps: 1. the worship of the Mother, when the universe was conceived as simple nourishment drawn directly from her; 2. the worship of the Father, when the universe was imagined as catastrophic; 3. the worship of the Child, in which we come to perceive events as a continual growth partaking in its elements of both these methods.

…2 1 Wilkinson is referring to this book. It was Wilkinson himself that was asked to contribute this second commentary to The Book of the Law, remarkable in view of the “Short Comment” of 1925 that — as Crow ley knew quite well — sternly forbids commentary by persons other than the Prophet. The “Short Comment” (p. 284 below) was classed as a “received” text, i.e., from an independent intelligence, like Liber Legis itself. Crowley’s suggestion to Wilkinson tends to confirm that it was at variance with his conscious mind. 2 The quotation given ab…

It was no dream, or else the growing dawn Deepened the glory of the misted lawn, For to his eyes, half open now, there seems A figure, fairer than his dearest dreams. He sprang, he caught her to his breast, the maid Smiled and lay back to look at him. He laid Her tender body on the sloping field, And felt her sighs in his embraces yield A sweeter music than all birds. But she, Lost in the love she might not know, may see No further than his face, and yet, aware Of her own fate, resis…

" Answered the reflux and the indrawn breath : " Let there be Life, and Death !" " The Earth, she shall be governed by her parts : Division be upon her !
