-
- Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
- The word of Sin is Restriction.

- I commented on _Liber I_ thusly:
-
-
- 00 [4] These are the seven vultures of evil.
-
- 4. Liberation may be found here and now.
-
-
- Scooch writes:
-
- I don't get this from that line, something else which I can't
- quite pinpoint. The Magus has no need of Liberation, this
- happened previously.
-
-
- Response:
-
- The seven vultures of evil are the manifested multiverse.
- Their power resides in their darkness (evil). That the Magus
- is one with them she needs no Liberation, true, for it is found
- in every moment, in every experience. There is no 'previously'.
- There is only Self and Other, waiting to be resolved.
-
-
- I commented:
-
- 00 [6] How shall He destroy Himself?
-
- 6. Who am I but Pan?
-
-
- Scooch:
-
- This is the Magus' Opus, not already achieved.
-
-
- Response:
-
- Agreed. The Magus' Opus is to ask the question, 'who am I?'
- and in so doing perform the Great Work.
-
-
-
- I commented:
-
- 0 [2] And the Magus is Love, and bindeth together This and That
- in His Conjuration.
-
- 2. The Spell of Agape is Unity through binding and release.
-
-
- Scooch:
-
- Where's #2 from? I understand what it's trying to say, but it's
- too limiting. Perhaps 'Binding by release' is closer.
-
-
- Response:
-
- Perhaps also 'Release through binding'. #2 is from the Abyss of my
- mind. ;>
-
-
- I commented:
-
- 1...
- 1. Karma brings dissatisfaction. (Fall)
- 2. The everyday mind is the mind of the Buddha. (Christ)
-
-
- Scooch:
-
- 'Truth is Eternal' only below the Abyss.
-
-
-
- Response:
-
- Above the Abyss where is above the Abyss? Where is below?
-
-
-
- 4 [2] How shall He cease to number Himself? [resolve Multiplicity]
-
-
- Scooch:
-
- Resolve Multiplicity is a little too cryptic, even though correct.
- To number (that is, to name) yourself implies a differentiation
- which doesn't exist in the mind's I:.
-
-
- Response:
-
- Invoke me under my stars. Love is the law, love under will.
-
-
- I am I! ;>
