Unto Nu.
Dear friends, beautiful and happy people,
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
I have just received a very pleasant letter from a boy I once knew — a strict “Yellow Hat” Buddhist, which is admittedly less boring than being Canadian, but still not exactly what you’d call funky…
At the time, I had spent two hours chatting online with him. He found The Book of the Law “violent” (sic). I eventually replied:
“The legitimate Dalai Lama is Tommy Mottola: any man who deserved to marry first Mariah Carey and then Thalía must necessarily have been at least Siddhārtha Gautama in a previous life.”
Dear friends, this Sunday’s Holy Reading is Liber LXV: Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente sub figurâ אדני, Chapter 5, verses 13 to 16.
13. They shall change in their destruction, even as two dark stars that crash together in the abyss, and blaze up in an infinite burning.
Commentary: This is the very principle of the Hymen.
The Heathen do not suspect that everything is holy (that is to say, that everything is Sex Magick), including the domestic scene with terrifying screams and broken crockery.
The only thing that really matters is sexual activity — “they” therefore tend to surround it with aberrant conventions, all of which serve to pasteurize the libido.
To quote the late, dear Sally (may the gods grant her the accomplishment of her True Will; yea, the accomplishment of her True Will): “The most beautiful of compliments is premature ejaculation.”
What I mean is: if Hispanic women are so prodigiously arousing, it is because they have fully understood the following Arcane:
To charm the Serpent, one must be Nuit; to tame the Beast, one must be Babalon. Let woman therefore be like the Universe and Nature herself: simultaneously hyper-attractive and hyper-terrifying.
14. All this while did Adonai pierce my being with his sword that hath four blades; the blade of the thunderbolt, the blade of the Pylon, the blade of the serpent, the blade of the Phallus.
Commentary: Of this verse, the Prophet (blessing & worship to him) says:
“Adonai: Aleph is the swastika or Thunderbolt by shape; Daleth means Door or Pylon; Nun refers to Scorpio, the Serpent; Yod is the Phallus (Yod of Tetragrammaton — considered as the inmost and simplest idea).”
From this I deduce (like Lao-Tzu, first among the Magi): Return is the movement of the Divine.
My Ipseity — secret as the Hermit’s Lamp, the royalty of Merlin disguised as a beggar (cf. AL II, 58), the furia erotica of the fierce virgin, the vital principle in the grain of wheat, etc. — manifests in my raging libido that surges “Swift as a trodden serpent” (AL III, 42), provoking a cock shock of cosmic dimension!
Thus my rutting Pylon forces, not without difficulty, a passage through the narrow Gate of the Empress, and I attain the One — that is, the orgasmic illumination of the resorption of the Two into the Zero.
That is the Direction of Life; that is, the inverse of the return to the Origin (the literal meaning of תשובה), which is אֲדֹנָי — an obvious liturgical analogy (cf. Liber XV). And since Hebrew is read from right to left…
15. Also he taught me the holy unutterable word Ararita, so that I melted the sixfold gold into a single invisible point, whereof naught may be spoken.
Commentary: Resolution of the Great Paradox stated in the previous verse: אראריתא, notarikon of Achad Rosh Achdotho Rosh Ichudo Temurato Achad, which means “The One is Thy Root, the One is Thy Ipseity, Thy Permutation is the One” (cf. Liber Ararita, 1 : 0).
16. For the Magistry of this Opus is a secret magistry; and the sign of the master thereof is a certain ring of lapis-lazuli with the name of my master, who am I, and the Eye in the Midst thereof.
Commentary: The Prophet (blessing & worship to him) gives, regarding this verse, a great many instructions concerning the Ring of Nuit, from which we deduce that VVVVV (“By the power of truth I have conquered the universe in my lifetime”) is the Magical Motto of the Archetypal Master.
Now, if we consider once again Lao-Tzu, of blessed memory, as the Archetypal Master in question, we observe that, having reached the pinnacle of Wisdom, he left China, devoted himself to wandering — so as not to witness the decadence of the Zhou — and ended up alone and misunderstood.
And this, once again, constitutes an illustration of the Great Paradox stated in verse 14.
Meditate upon this, dear friends, and go your gorgeous ways 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.
