The Day of Be-with-Us : When the Deep-Sea Fish Judge the Snow Leopard

Dear friends, beautiful and happy people,

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

I just was asked what we, Thelemites, exactly mean by « the Day of Be-with-Us », and it is an excellent question!

Well — It is written in the Holy Books of Thelema : 

But certain men heard and understood, and through them shall this Knowledge be made known : The least therefore of them, the servant of them all, writeth this book. (Liber Porta Lucis sub figurâ X, 6-7)

Here is how I interpret it: 

In a normally pyramidal society, the higher one climbs, the more one becomes—paradoxically—a servant. 

The servant of servants is Pharaoh, because every second of his day (nay, every one of his thoughts, every word, every gesture) irreversibly affects the destiny of the Land — His entire being and all his time are consecrated (in the religious sense of the word) to the common good.

Which, of course, amounts to saying: the Sun has, in the ecosystem, a more obvious, more immediately universal usefulness than the woodlouse.

The < Day of Be-with-Us > (Cheth, 12 ; A’ash, 6) —whether you call it Ragnarök, Armageddon, or Greta Thunberg—is when the pyramid is turned upside down, and the deep-sea fish presume to rule over the snow leopard (e.g. the French Republic putting Sir Shumule in prison).

(I had written, I think in 2010 e.v., on this very principle, a truly remarkable post titled Des Civilisations, of which a fabulous internet user who signed himself Betave T.—I never found out who he was—took the initiative, in 2012 e.v., to make a very creative, very gothic, very cool & sexy video.)

Meditating on this, go forth, dear friends, under the protection of that spiritual sphere whose centre is everywhere and circumference nowhere, and which we call GOD. 

Warm kisses from the Bahamas. 

Love is the law, love under will.
