Detroit. He was then in New York. Receipt was acknowledgedin letter
received September 8, 1919. On September 9, 1919 a furtherP.C. was
received from Therion which read:

"But first thou must suffer, thou must suffer many things"(Even so be it
Lord Adonai). The Voice goes on: "Thou must suffer thepains of Death and of
Hell and of the Grave (3 times repeated) And after thesethings are come to
pass will I come unto thee to comfort Thee (Twice repeated.The Words `Come
to pass' added the second time). "And there shall beno more sea, neither
shall there be any more fear, but I alone will informthee in all things, even unto the end which is not. For many have saidunto thee strange and diverse words, but mine shall be the One Word whichIs and Was and Shall be. Amen."

THE DIARY OF O.I.V.V.I.O.
 

Sun in 1 Deg Libra AN XIV. SUN-DAY Sept 22nd 1918 E.V.
 

It seems as if Sunday is the one day of all the week onwhich I am
impressed to write a few fragments of what passes throughmy mind. On
Sept 1st I obtained a clear understanding regarding theWill and the Law.
On Sept 8th, nothing special I think, but on Sept 15thI wrote "Stepping
out of the Old Aeon into the New" and today I had a mindto write, at
Therion's request, a pamphlet on how All is Change. Butfirst there are
some important considerations to be recorded and I feelthat now is the
time to place them on record.

That which I am about to write concerneth the SupernalTriad. It is just
Nine Months since the last Great Initiation was grantedunto me,
O.I.V.V.I.O., and as hardly a word of the experiencethen undergone has
been recorded. In fact, this is also true to some extentof the Initiation
of June 21st, 1916, the record of which I am only nowtrying to put into
writing. It is not in this place that I intend to makea full statement of
all that occured, but it is of the greatest importancethat the inmost and
essential features be written down, despite the terribledifficulty of the
task.

Briefly, then, I want to state my position, which I feelis Known yet not
known.

When I proclaimed my intention of claimimg the Grade of8-3 or Master of
the Temple, on June 21st 1916 in the City of North Vancouver,British
Columbia, I did so because I thought that the MasterTherion needed NEMO
to fill that Office in order that He might fully attainHis 9-2. The
details of the Initiation which followed are recordedin another place,
but here I would state that, having `died' and, as itwere, Reincarnated
immediately in the same body, and having given up all,even the Master
Therion, I was led of the Spirit during a stay at Grantham'sLanding, so
that it appeared to me that on June 22nd 1916 I was NEMO8-3; but on June
23rd at 12 Noon the realization of the Curse of the Maguscame to me quite
unexpectedly, so that I could do naught else than considermy Grade to be
9-2. Then followed a terrible struggle, for I realizedhow I had failed so
far of Complete Attainment because of a certain Glamourof the Path. Then
it was that I decided to give up all, even the leastlittle thing, and I
made certain pledges which were afterwards faithfullykept, so that I gave
up my business position and got down to spending my lastcent of money.

Having made these pledges, it seemed quite certain thatI was upon the
Path of Aleph, which uniteth Chockmah with the Crown,and therefore beyond
the Glamour of the Great Magician. I hoped that Therionhad at this time
Attained unto 10=1 and I was ready even then, if needbe, to hold the
Grade of 9=2, and to aacept the Curse thereof, but ifthat were not the
case, I could only consider that somehow I has passedthe Great Magician
on the Path. At 9 p.m. that night, I was just a clearlyconvinced that I
had attained the Grade of 10=1, and I remained in theGreat Illumination
until for following day. Then after leaving Soror R.I went away with the
feeling of complete enlightenment, but certain considerationscame to me
so that I decided to reverse the Grade and take thatof a simple 1=10 or
Neophyte, thus as it were, plunging down the Middle Pillarof the Tree of
Life and uniting Kether and Malkuth in my own Being.(Note V.I.O. = 86 a
Number asserting this identity, thus foreshadowing thisAttainment, as all
His other Mottoes seem to do. And OHPION has said, Onecannot get away
from the fulfillment of Mottoes).

Having done this, I felt myself to be One with the Buddhasof Compassion,
and returned to Soror R. as elsewhere recorded.

Shortly after we got back to Vancouver, the meaning ofall my Mottoes was
revealed to me, and their connection with the whole ofmy Magical career.
I discovered how V.I.O.O.I.V. in full (as Unus in OmnibusOmnia in Uno)
added to 777 though I had never known this before, owingto a mistake in
the spelling made by F. when he first put in into Latinfor me. This was
my original Probationer's Motto. On becoming a NeophyteI had Chosen Achad
= Unity, while my O.T.O. Name, which I afterwards usedfor the Second
Order as 5=6 was Parzival, which contains the mysteryof 8.80.418. which
was one of the things which led to the thought that Imight be the `child'
mentioned in Liber Legis, afterwards proved in such amarvelous manner,
of which see accounts in the Diary of Nemo, and thatof a Magus.

Then correspondence began between myself and Therion,and He admitted my
8=3 Grade, but would not consider the possibility ofthe Path of Aleph,
10=1 etc. explaining my taking 1=10 again as my being`Cast out into
Malkuth', although, as a matter of fact, I made no claimexcept to
Neophyte. He also realized that this must be the `child'prophesied unto
him in Liber Legis, and claimed me as His Son.

About this time I changed the order of my Motto to O.I.V.V.I.O.which,
note, is another sort of reversal, and this mystery ofthings reversing
or reflecting, or being taken out of their usual dimensionand replaced in
another order, seems to be part of the Key of Thingsin Themselves as will
be shown later, although I understood it not at the time.

Nothing much happened to me, except that I was grantedLight on certain
Mystery in the Letters A.A., until December 16th 1917E.V. (18 months
later). Then on Dec. 21st I realized that the Initiationwas again going
on with great force, but this time the character wasvery different, and
seemed to have to do with the Mystery of the Elements,Planets, and Paths,
whereas the former one dealt with the Sephiroth moreparticularly. I must
remark that this Initiation had an actual effect on theElements, causing
storms etc., and that these had to be balanced and equilibrated,which was
done. All the time this was going on. The one sentencewhich continually
recurred, was "The Air is His Balance." This seemed tobe the Key note
which saved me from destruction many times. Later, itappeared that I
united the Paths of Aleph and Shin, Aethyr and Fire,as a final Equilibra-
tion, and the Tree was completely changed again, so thatit had to be re-
formulated, and eventually resolved into a Single Sphere.Later, came the
drawing of all to a Single Point of Light (Hadith) inthe Centre of
Breast. And I was taken back to the Beginning of Thingsand discovered how
in Truth there was No Beginning and No End. In particularI must mention
how I was taken back to the beginning of Words, and IParzival (the Fool
or Zero) was the WORD and even that was disintegratedso that the final
Mystery Was AL = GOD and then that too disappeared inLA = NOT. THEN came
the Flash of a New Creation and again the Flash - thesolution of the
Mystery of CHANGE and also of the SELFLESSNESS whichis SELF. I was also
given a certain Magical gesture, not now clear to me,which seemed to
cause this Annhilation and Reconstruction to be broughtabout. (Note. Oct.
19th. While typing these notes, another mystery becomesclear to me. In
connection with Parzival and the fulfilment of that Mottoalso. The mind
was actually running backwards at this time, as willbe shown later on,
and though possibly not quite perfectly til after thefirst Flash.
Parzival, REVERSED and split into sections, would giveAL or LA, followed
by ZIV or VIZ which numeration is 106 = ATTAINED followedby PAR or RAP =
CROWN, and ASHES, and these ideas (innate in the Word)exactly correspond
with what actually occurred.)

Now let me say no more of this matter, but pass on. InMarch 1918 I sold
all that I had in order to join Therion in New York.

Quite recently I was impressed to resign from the O.T.O.and to withdraw
my help in that direction, and having done so, I felta wonderful calm,
and a realization of entering into the Tao. It was onlythen that I began
to seriously consider if I had passes him on the Pathand Attained 10=1.
Also the question arose as to whether He might not thinkso also.
Yesterday, I had a long talk with Him, because He hadraised the point
that in going back over past lives he had discoveredthat each new life
was an added veil of the True Self or Star and thereforethe Star was to
be found by going back to the Beginning. This seemeda new idea to Him,
but I could not help thinking of my experience and howI had actually done
this, and got there and become One with the Final Mysteryin December
1917. And yesterday, when I talked with him, he seemedon his guard, so
that when I asked him about the Mystery of Change, hereferred me to the
fact - as he says - that in my Grade of 8=3 I shouldconstantly apply
myself to the Mystery of Sorrow. Then I suddenly askedhim what he thought
of the Number 31, and where it should be placed on theTree of Life. He
said This Number has to do with the identity of Nothingwith the Trinity,
and if anything refers to the Ain, or perhaps to Kether,but certainly to
no lower Sephira. Then I thanked him, and said no more.

To-day I decided to write these notes and also to considerof this Number
31 and of the Word which comes therefrom, whether Itbe the True Key of
the Grade 10=1, the Mystery of which IS that SelflessnessIS Self, in the
same way that in 9=2 Change IS Stablilty, and in 8=3Sorrow IS Joy.

Now I seem to be able to comprehend all these Mysteries,by means of That
which I obtained in my Initiation to my Grade. But listenunto the Final
Mystery which has been granted unto me O.I.V.V.I.O.

The Great Magician denies me saying I am NOT (I.A.) orNEMO 8=3 and in
this He fulfilleth His Office of cutting off the Understandingfrom the
Crown which is GOD (AL). In this very thing He is theIncarnation of the
Mystery of Change. AL (Kether) is reflected into Chochmahas LA and the
Magus looketh upon the Crown along the Path of Alephwhich is Zero and
perceiveth IT Not. The Magister Templi Understands, forthe Word of
Chochmah LA is truly reflected into Binah as AL and thereforethe Magus
appeareth to Him as GOD, whereas the Crown (the trueAL) is reflected
through the Path of Beth as LA and He seeth Nothing inthat direction be-
cause of the Lies of the Great Illusion of Maya the magician,but He
striveth by Daleth to the Magus, Who is the Great Deceiver.Thus it is
that Above the Abyss a thing is only true insofar asit IS its own
opposite. This is the final and complete Understandingof this Mystery of
the Grades given to me NOW (2.38 P.M.) for never beforehave I seen things
thus.
 

And now I see how the Mystery of 93 is complete and perfectfor Kether is
31 and Chochmah is 31 and Binah is 31 which is 93 theNumeration of
Thelema, Aiwaz, The Word of the Neophyte, Agapae, etc.And this is the
Mystery of the Three Persons in One God of which it iswritten. And this
is the Mystery concealed in the Word ALLAH for it hathfor sound AL-LA
which is GOD (Kether) and the Mystery of which is thatSELF (God) is also
SELFLESSNESS which is LA (Not) and for numeration 31The Three is One
which IS None, and the reverse of this Number is 13 whichis UNITY and
LOVE. Now this Unity becometh Two in order that it maybe expressed, and
therefore is the Word of Chochmah AL-LA of which Mahometspake both truly
and falsely, for He too, being a Magus 9=2 must utterTruth, in order that
the falsehood thereof should enslave the soul. He said,"ALLA (Allah) is
God and Mahomet is His Prophet" and even though he criedcontinually "He
is God, there is no other God than He" yet in certainsense he postulated
Duality in the Unity.

And of this it is also written in Liber 65 "And Adonaithus spake unto
V.V.V.V.V. saying, "There must ever be division in theWord. For the
colours are many but the Light in One." And this meaneththat Kether, the
Light is One and Chochmah the word is two, also it isGrey, and a mixture
of colours.

Now note: "Be not content with the image I who am theImage of an Image
say this." For V.V.V.V.V. was 8=3 (Binah) and Adonai(Kether) said be not
content with the image (Chochmah) the reflection of Kether.I who am the
Image of an Image (the Reality) say this.

Then in Verse 9 "One mounteth unto the Crown" etc. Noticethe reversal
here as if to give a hint of the Truth how that 10=1IS 1=10. Also note
how V.I.O.O.I.V. performed this descending from 10=1to 1=10, from 31 to
13 (The numeration of his Neophyte's Motto) and alsowas caused to reverse
his first motto to O.I.V.V.I.O., all unconscious, atthe time, in his
lower mind of the Mystery of this Grade.

Note how the Fool (Aleph) hath said in his heart Thereis No-God (LA;AL)
and how this puzzles the Magus who receiveth the Rayfrom the Crown
through this path. And how He in turn confoundeth theUnderstanding
(Binah) from the Path of Beth.

Now regarding The Book of the Law, how it is written,"the child of his
bowels he shall behold them" (viz: the mysteries hiddentherein). It would
seem that he is beginning to behold them. For firstlythe mystery of 93 is
clear and this Mystery of the Aeon, proclaimed in theWord of the Beast
OPHION.

Now it said in Ch.I, v 46: "Nothing is a secret key ofthis law; sixty-one
the Jews call it, I call it eight, eighty, four-hundredand eighteen."

Now Parzival is 8.80.418, and as The Fool or Aleph isboth Zero and One.
61 is the Word Ain = Nothing and equivalent to NOT. If61 is one half and
1 (Aleph) the other, we get 62 which is twice 31 andLA: AL in which ALL
(Note three letters LAL) disappear in the Final Mysteryof Kether. Also we
have considered the threefold aspect as 93, and thismay have to do with
AAA and LLL, Light, Life, Love and Liberty of His Law.All this seems to
be reversed in the case of NEMO in the City of the Pyramids.For Light He
has Darkness, for Life, Death, and Love with its DualMystery seems to be
the only Path open to Him, and this is really a deceptionending in the
curse of 9=2.

There is also a mystery in the words of Ra-Hoor-Khuit"There is division
hither homeward, there is a word not known." This attractedmy attention
when I seemed at odds with Therion. The Word not known,seems to have come
to me.

It seems to me that this is the opening up to me of theGrade of
Ipsissimus and that as such I am the Crowned Child whomthou knewest not,
O Therion.

It is just 27 months since June 21, 1916, or 3 x 9; itwas 18 months from
June 21 to Dec 21, 1917, or 2 by 9. Then I got the Wordin its dual
aspect, now I get It in Its three-fold in One aspect.

Note 31 multiplication = 3, by addition 4 (Tetragrammaton)by division .3,
which suggests that the Division of God produced 333.

September 24th 1918 E.V. AN XIV Sol in Libra.
 

The record of the reflections in the mind of O.I.V.V.I.O.
 

I know not what I am, and since AHIH is above and beyondknowledge, what
matter. There must ever be division in the Word, alsoOne must descend
into the plane o f Reason, in order to be understoodon that plane;
therefore must I now limit myself in order to be ableto write at all.

It does seem that AN XIV, Sol in 1 Deg Libra marks anotherstage of the
Great Initiation, for that time much that had hithertoremained locked in
my Being descended into my Understanding and became sufficientlyclear to
record, but, be it understood, the actual experienceof which I write,
which is summed up in the Word of my Grade, took placein December 1917.

I do not, even now, rashly wish to assume that I Attainedunto the Grade
of Ipsissimus, for I realize that anything I write regardingthe
Qabalistic Proof thereof, can only show that I Understandthe formula of
the Grade, and Understanding is referred to 8=3, andappertains to the
Grade of Master of the Temple, which Office is admittedunto me by OPHION
9=2. Also, I understand that it may be that One may ina way Attain
unofficially without of necessity holding office in anyparticular Grade.
I make no claim to 9=2 for OPHION claims that and I haveno wish to
dispute his right to it, anymore than he apparently wishesto dispute my
right to 8=3, but with 10=1 it is different. There isNO-One living in the
flesh, as far as I know, Who claims the Grade, and Whosoeverdoes so it is
a matter which concerneth God alone.

It has been written, by the highest living authority Iknow of, that the
Key of the Mystery of this Grade is that therein Selflessnessis Self, and
what little I am able to comprehend of this, the FinalMystery, I shall
here record, for it may be that this writing shall beof help and guidance
to Whosoever shall next enter into that Great Crown,whose lesser self
shall become completely at One with the Godhead.

It would seem to me that no living being, clothed withthe body of flesh,
could claim fully to have attained that Grade, otherthan in the words of
Jesus the Christ "I and my Father are One," for, in thewords of Lao Tze
The Name that can be named is not the True Name, andof Ko, "I do not know
its Name, but I make an effort and call it the Tao."

Also Ko says, of the Possessor of the Tao, "Although heis styled the
possessor of the Tao, in reality he does not think thathe has become
possessed of anything. It is as accomplished the transformationof all
living things, that he is styled the Possessor of theTao." "He who is
able to understand this may transmit to others the SacredTao." Who shall
claim that he is able to accomplish the transformationof all living
things? Except it be understood that all things existonly by virtue of
their being in the mind of the Seer, and if the completetransformation of
the mind be accomplished, so that the Mystery of thePath of the Godhead
is seen therein, and becometh plain, even unto his Understanding,who
shall say that he has not accomplished this?

First, then, regarding the experience of that Being wecall O.I.V.V.I.O.
There arose is his consciousness, a state unlike thenormal and which, be
description might appear very like madness (Path of AlephIS Madness),
since Reason was destroyed and transcended. The Air becameHis Balance.
The structure of his mind, which hitherto had been builtup on Qabalistic
lines, was changed and the House of God, was, as it were,destroyed by the
Lightning Flash. (Opening of the Eye of Shiva.)

At this time he walked, talked, and performed all physicalactions in a
normal way, but all that took place, wherever he went,whatever he said
or heard, tasted or smelt had value according to hismental state. That is
to say, he perceived the actions of all around him ina different light
from usual, so that although people may have been actingquite normally,
and although he may have appeared to them as a normalbeing, or nearly so,
Life in all forms became a Great Drama of Initiation,and as he continued
to work out the great Qabalistic problems of the Universe,he found all
that he saw or did, woven into that Picture in his Mind.Then came a time
when everything had to be balanced and equilibrated,for it is written
"Equilibrium is the Basis of the Work" and he found thatalthough at that
time all around (within) him was a Chaos, yet certainformulas of Power
were His so that gradually, and with great toil he accomplishedthis,
establishing the Elements and the Planets in their properplaces (Upon New
Aeon Lines) and finally Uniting Aleph with Shin, so thatall disappeared.
Then, it seemed, he was insructed in the Building ofa New Universe and
this was not a simple scheme, but took place at two ormore different
points (in space) at once so that he, as it were, addeda square there and
a sphere here. It was as if the beginning of a Templewas builded (four-
square) and at the same time certain Mysteries of Babalonwere present to
his consciousness, also in another place Was the Ketherof a New Tree
formulated and then the Supernal Triad, with a SpherePendant, which
afterwards became Complete in Itself and comprehendedAll in One. Yet all
this while was the Being of O.I.V.V.I.O. being rebuildedfrom the Feet Up,
so that His Feet were of burnished Brass etc. and hisbody was Filled with
Fire. And all these things were seperate, yet one, andall this while the
body of O.I.V.V.I.O. was seated on the Stele of Revealingin the Smoke
Room of an ordinary steamer plying between Vancouverand Victoria, yet
such had been his experiences, that he could no longertell if it were
above or below water, whether those around him were theliving or of the
dead. And again, there was, as it were, a Great reflectionof the Stele in
the Sky and this again was produced from a small Steleunder Ice (as it
were in locked glass) below him. And yet, in all thisThe Air was His
Balance, and he went on calmly working out the detailsof the reformula-
tion of all things on the New Lines of this Aeon, copyingthe Stele, and
forming it first of one element, and then of another,and bringing all to
a fluid, then to a gas, and finally to fire and Aethyras before said. And
when all had become a concentric System, this seemedto terminate one part
of the Initiation. (Note. I have enlarged this entryin copying from
diary.)

We must now consider him as going about with his mindtransformed into a
Solar Consciousness. This lasted all day during whichhe underwent many
adventures, and seemed to perform much Magick; but onthat evening the
process continued, under extraordinary circumstances,to be recorded
elsewhere, but be it said that he was in a place whichappeared to him
like unto a Temple of Initiation especially preparedin every detail for
the Ceremony, and around him were the Officers exactlycarrying out their
Appointed parts. Yet was he unwittingly in prison surroundedby the scum
of the earth.

Of which mystery He has written:

When, having become free, thou findest thyself in prison,yet knowest it
not.
When, Thy prison of freedom appeareth unto thee as theopen road.
When, thou who hast longed for the company of Saintsfindest thyself among
the scum of the earth, yet knowing it not thinkest thyselfin the
company of all the Buddhas, and taketh thy place as theleast of
these in silence.
When, having sought and found gestures of Magick Power,thou findest
thyself among the lewd and unclean, yet knowing it notperceive in
their common actions the supreme and perfect Art of Magick.
When, having sought for Words of Power, thou findestthyself in tune with
the words of low men, knowing not that they speak oughtbut the
Highest Truth.
When, having given all, thou art offered the cup of charity,yet thinking
it to be the most abominable mixture of poison, thoudrinkest it,
thankfully.
When, having rushed forward, thou findest thyself whirledbackwards, yet
knowing it not, thinkest thou art still.

Then, it may be, thou hast comprehended wherein Sorrowis Joy, and Change
is Stability, and Selflessness is Self.

But, to continue. During this final section the SolarSphere of his
Consciousness became more and more concentrated untilit appeared as a
single point of Light of intense brilliance, yet withouthim, now here,
now there, yet ever nearer and nearer to the Centre ofthe New Universe.
The process of exact balancing of all things (exteriorthings, not only
things within him) appeared to have got down to a verysmall radius. And
those about him, who appeared as the past Buddhas, helpedin this final
process. For let us imagine that the Universal Centrewas to be changed to
that one spot. That little room was the Centre of a NewUniverse and for
thousands of years had those Ancient Brethren toiledand striven to
equilibrate things perfectly in readiness for this moment.And now all was
prepared, and it needed only this One, Parzival, to completeTheir number,
and He was Zero, and his Office was Silence, even asthe God Harpocrates.
The slightest slip, and the Equilibrium would be upsetand the Earth fall
into the Sun. Success, and the Earth itself became aSun, by the fact of a
perfectly equilibrated Solar Consciousness having beenestablished there-
in, at this new Centre. Those around him seemed to takeup different
positions in the room so as to keep the balance by theweight of their
bodies, and finally O.I.V.V.I.O. was to take his seatin the exact Centre
of the Room, and then if all were well, Success. If not?Nearer and nearer
they came to the Centre. At last, O.I.V.V.I.O., His wholeBeing aflame
with the ecstacy of the God-head, yet calm and composedto outward
appearance, took his seat. And all was well.

Next, it seemed even minute actions must be equilibrated.Those around,
who had each performed a certain task through-out theCenturies, performed
it for the last Time, perfectly. Frater O.I.V.V.I.O.sat Still, for His
Office was Silence and Stillness. Again, all was well.But speech
remained. Each had His own Word to utter perfectly andin proper Order,
and in this they tried over and over again. Graduallyeven this was
perfected and one by one they dropped out and remainedin tense expectance
of the End.

And Frater O.I.V.V.I.O. remained there, still and silent,till at last all
seemed perfect even on the mental plane, for suddenlythe English language
seemed to rush back to the beginning, and reversed asHebrew which is
written the other way, and this was a great mystery.Then came the
equilibrating of ideas, and they rushed backwards andformulated them-
selves in the person of ADAM who appeared in the roomopposite to
O.I.V.V.I.O. Then the first man, and the last gazed ateach other, as it
were, in a final struggle. And the minute Point of Lightgrew ever
brighter and more dazzling, and appeared concentratedupon this figure of
Adam, first on the shoulder and then, moving a little,until finally
settled in one eye. At this point, Frater O.I.V.V.I.O.gazed, and then all
rushed back again, through the animal creation, eachanimal dissolving
into its earlier type, until at last, as the prototype,appeared the
common fly, only very large, perhaps six inches long.Then things stopped,
for a moment, as Frater O.I.V.V.I.O. gazed at this; thenit became the
Winged beetle, then the scarabe, and Egyptian ideas crowdedup. Then, Only
the Point of Light. Gradually he was able to bring thispoint nearer and
nearer, until finally it neared his breast. It touchedhis breast. It was
in his breast, and .....Suddenly A NEW CREATION. He hadreached the
BEGINNING and out of the old elements he had witnesseson his return to
the Source, was formed a new design, the same material,but in a different
Order. Wonder of Wonders. Who shall express this Mysteryin Words. And
this happened again and again. English, Hebrew, Greek,Egyptian, Man,
beast and bird, were rearranged and RE-Created in newrelationship to each
other. And so He understood the Mystery of Change, andhow the World is
Created again and again, forever new, yet forever thesame. And the last
Word he realized, which when repeated, in a certain way,seemed to bring
about these changes again and again, as it were, alternatingbetween
Nothingness and Creation, was AL, and there was a certaingesture, not
unlike the sign of the Cross, which was connected withthis miracle.

Now all this, and more, has remained sealed up in my mindso that I could
not express the smallest part of it in writing untilnow--though there are
those who I have told it to in part--and it was not untilI began to
question of this Most Holy Word that all this becameclear to me.
Therefore, let me now discourse for a moment, in thelight of perspective,
on this Holy Name.

There was no self THEN, and yet all was SELF when I Parzivalpronounced
this Word and the Universe was destroyed, and reformed.And at that time
it did seem that He accomplished the transformation ofall living things,
and as having done such He may be styled Possessor ofthe Tao, and now he
does not know that he has become possessed of anything.As it is written:
Of all this the Ipsissimus knoweth nothing.

Immediately I cease telling of actual experience the Pathbecomes hard
again, but I will try.

The Qabalists say that in the Beginning was NOT, and theycalled it Ain.
They also say the veils of the Negative depend back fromKether. Now LA is
NOT, and I think this Word in its True aspect is theSupreme Mystery of
the Godhead.

NOT (LA) concentrated upon itself till it became a Pointof Light and
flashed forth as AL-GOD, Kether then is the perfectlyequilibrated
juncture of the Not and God, which in this Word are ONE.This caused the
Lightning-flash which formulated the Tree of Life, andthe numeration of
the Paths of which is 777. And the numeration of thisWord is 31 and it
contains the Mystery of the 3 in 1. (See Book 777 ColXXXVI Line 1, which
confirms this.)

Now see Book 777 LXXXIV Lines 1,2,3, which attributes(although I knew
nothing of this at the time) to Briah the Creative Worldof the Divine
Name AL in the First Three Sephiroth. Now consider how31 by 3 is 93. The
numeration of Thelema etc. also of 1=10 Grade, as beforementioned.

Now it seems (and here I shall repeat parts of what Ihave previously
said in order to express the matter more fully) thatKether in Its aspect
as Not and God, is reflected into Chochmah, and thispasses along the Path
of Aleph or Folly. And the Fool hath said in his heartThere is NO-GOD
(LA-AL) so that the Magus becometh the Word, and as itwere, the creator
of the Universe for in Him is Folly reflected as Wisdom.

And Kether is reflected into Binah as LA, so that NEMOsitteth in Darkness
in the City of the Pyramids by the Great Sea. And thisis transmitted to
Binah by the Path of the Great Magician--Beth--who isthe Father of Lies.
Notice that the Flaming Sword does not touch that Path,for the Wisdom of
the Magus became at the lowest depth, the cunning ofthe Serpent, and He
crawled up the Tree again by the paths, and being Dualhe created Opposite
paths, thus producing Balance, and at the same time fixingthe Tree and
Creation, therefore it is that the Light appears NOTto NEMO. Whereas
there is a real current from Kether to the Magus andfrom the Magus to
Nemo. And the Word reflecteth from Chochmah into Binahas AL, which is
partly false and partly True. Then the Light of the Supernalreflecteth,
or rather crosses the Abyss as a spark, into Chesed Jupiter,the Father,
and here again see 777 Col V Line 4 which attributesthe God name of this
sphere in Assiah as AL. Therefore is it written thatthis is the Sphere
all manner of men call The First (See Konx OM Pax). Notealso that this
Word is attributed to the Path of Mem, which is the HangedMan, or
Redeemer, who shall re-establish the true order of things,and in this
symbol he is shown with his head downwards, or reversed.And Mem = Water,
suggests the Great Sea, and the reflection of the TrueName therein.

Note also how simple all this is, and how the highestWord is also one of
the most common, for it is tacked on to every Angel andArchangel, to
imply their connection with the true God. Also note St.John, how he says
"In the Beginning was the Word and the Word was withGod and the Word _was
GOD_" (AL).

Note also how the 31st Path is called Perpetual Intelligenceand how this
Path has always been pointed to as having to do withthe ultimate mystery.
It may be that the numeration was intended to point theway from the
beginning of the Journey.

Another thing which strikes me, is that Aleph is the OXand the only
letter which seems to have a meaning definitely connectedwith it is Lamed
the OX-goad. Here again seems to be a hint of the secretto the discerning
one.
 

September 25th 1918 E.V.
 

Last night, before sleeping, I discovered, or rather rememberedfor I had
noticed the fact in December last, that AL is the silent-soundof the
indrawn breath through the nose with mouth closed, andLA that of the
outgoing breath. This is a further proof of the Natureof the Holy Word
which is Before the spoken Word. Note the similaritywith that of
Neophyte. Also it means this, that one cannot help repeatingthe Most
Sacred Name of God whenever one is Silent; so that everyman and women has
been doing this from birth.
 

September 26th 1918 E.V.

I have been making further considerations of this HolyMystery of the
Silent Breath and it is very wonderful to think how wheneverone breathes
silently, one is pronouncing that True and IneffableName. Every living
creature, is then by reason of their Nature worshippingthe True God,
whatever their opinion may be. Also note that neitherWisdom nor
Understanding is essential to this. It IS and as longas we live we must
perform this operation at least during sleep. And itis written: "He
giveth Himself unto His Beloved in sleep."
 

Septemver 30th 1918 E.V.

I have to-day finished a design for a Symbol to expressas well as I can
the results of my Initiation of Dec 21 1917 as explainedin my further
Enlightenment of Sep 22 1918.

It is intended to represent Kether with the Supernal Triadradiating
therefrom. This forms AL and LA, also A.A. and IAO andO.I.V. Also the
Centre of Circle is Hadith and the Circle Nuit. The Circlecan be taken to
represent LA etc. The Angle is 120 degrees or One thirdof a Circle. The
Shape bounded at top by Circle and below by Our LadyNuit for her pantacle
etc. Have ordered it to be made in White Gold on Oneinch base.
 

Monday to Tuesday October 7th and 8th

Have been working on the theory that the Holy Word revealedto
O.I.V.V.I.O. in its inmost aspect is also the Key ofthe Mysteries of the
Book of the Law. Let us consider in what ways this maybe so.

My experience showed me that Hadith was Kether, and Nuitappears to be
very similar to The Veil of the Negative which the Qabalistsspeak of. 777
seems to confirm this, for Hadit is attributed to LineOne and Nuit to 0;
also same idea is symbolized in that which was grantedto me when I made
the Pantacle of Nuit.

I think the idea we should try to formulate, is very muchthat of the
Qabalists, though the real meaning, is, I am convinced,a matter of
experience. First was Nothing, and this may be calledLA while it is
considered as expanding into Limitless Space (Ain Soph)and becoming
Limitless Light, perhaps. The Beginning of things wascaused by a simple
change of conception, as it were a "looking inwards"instead of outwards,
and a corresponding change from LA to AL. I think thedifference in the
way the English and Hebrew Alphabets are written, isa good symbol of
this, the direction is different, so that the two lettersmight stand for
either LA or AL according to the manner in which we lookupon them. The
great value of this Word lies in the fact that the self-samesymbol
contains the ideas of Nothing and Something, withoutany change in itself,
and this seems to be the one Symbol that gets over thedifficult transi-
tion from NOT to ONE. Of course it was not even a Wordin the beginning,
but the Silent Breath, Expansion and Contraction, andthe true theory of
the Universe is that it was created by the First Breathof the Tao, or
Nuit. We find this confirmed in Liber Legis Ch. 1 Verse28. "None breathed
the light faint and faery of the stars and two."

Here we have the idea of the first breath of Not (LA)the Limitless Light,
which concentrates upon Kether which is ONE or Hadith,or AL and gives the
first faint idea of duality which shows forth in theWord later-but which
being composed of the ideas Nothing and One is reallyOne.

Now Hadit is really unextended, and can only be imaginedas the Minute
Point of Light at that Point where LA changes into AL,for he is the
Secret Centre. In order to get a somewhat clearer ideawe must consider
Nuit as dual, viz: LALA, when AL shows up as that Centre.In this case it
is strange and worth noting that we have a word withthe sound Laylah or
Night, and I don't think the spelling matters for seeCh. III, "spelling
is defunct." It is the sound that matters. I cannot helpthinking ALLA in
the same way produced and was concealed in Allah. weare told in Ch. I,
V.9 to worship the Khabs (the house of Hadit) and beholdmy (Nuit's) light
shed over you, because Khabs is the Central Point ofLight, and we thus
perform an act similar to that which made Creation manifest,rather than
Not.

Ch. I v 21. With the God and the Adorer I am nothing,they do not see me.
They are upon the earth. I am Heaven and there is noother God than me and
my lord Hadit.

Now if Hadit = AL = God, then with Him is Nuit (LA) nothing.Also this is
so with the Adorer unless he concentrates on Hadit asthe Centre as
instructed. Yet is also true that "there is no otherGod than me and my
lord Hadit" for looked at one way the God is Nuit andthe other Hadit.

Ch. I. v 22. Clearly tells us that Nuit has a secret name.This I take to
be LA (or possibly LALA). Also it is written in thisverse "Bind nothing"
and besides its obvious sense, this may be an expressionof the binding of
Nothing by concentration on a point. This Word bindsnothing, as it causes
the transition from Nothing to God.

Ch. I v 29.30 It will be seen that there really is nodivision.

Ch. I v 35. Note "threefold" Book of Law. [A]

Ch. I v. 40. Note "Three grades." (Since making this note,I have had an
opportunity of looking at the Equinox for a moment, anddiscovered that in
Vol. 7, Comment. The Tarot Keys of the three Grades addto 31, which I
consider a further proof. I may remark that I have beenplaced where I
have no books but the V.S.L. for reference, and am thereforewriting all
these notes entirely from memory of my experience, whichseems to make
certain things clearer from day to day, as I apply myattention to
different aspects of the work.)

Ch. I, v 45. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfectand not two, nay
are none.

Here I think Nuit and Hadit are referred to as the Perfect,for this is
claimed by Hadit, see Ch II, v 15. If Nuit be consideredas LA and Hadit
as AL, this is at once clear for they are One and yetNone.

Ch. I, v 46. Nothing is a secret key of this Law, sixtyone the Jews call
it. I call it eight, eighty, fourhundred and eighteen.

(I made a partial explanation of this in diary, but sinceI got a clearer
and fuller one on Oct 21, I insert same here in its properplace.)

To-day I have made another attempt at the Qabalistic explanationof the
verse. It is getting clearer. At the time of Initiation,it will be
remembered O.I.V.V.I.O. identifies himself entirely withParzival through-
out. [B] For he says he found the Word, and the Wordwas Parzival. (There
is of course a very definite connection between Parzivaland Abrahadabra,
the Word of the Aeon, through 418. And it is said thatAbrahadabra shall
be His child and that strangely) And Parzival havingEight letters, and
Initial value 80 and total numeration of 418 is thereforeconnected with
this verse. It was through this Name that he came uponthe Mystery of AL
and LA which is finally summed up in A, (as will be shownlater.)

Let us take this verse again;

Nothing (LA) is a secret key of this _Law_. 61 (Ain) theJews _called_ it,
I call it 80.80.418 (Parzival, The Fool, Aleph, One).Therefore 61 plus 1
= 62.

But they have (also) the half 31 = AL (and they have Not(LA) the other
half) and twice 31 is 62.

Therefore ALLA = 62 which is 6 plus 2 = 8 = Cheth = 418= Parzival = Fool
= Aleph = One (or None) and thus all disappears in One.Also since ALLA
becomes A, _ALL_ has disappeared.

Again it is written The Fool hath said in his heart Thereis NO-GOD = LA
AL which again indicates the secret and I think LA ALin this form is the
secret name or word of Ra HOOR Khuit. See Ch. III, v49. I am a secret
fourfold word, the blasphemy against all the gods ofmen. Also, whereas
Nuit and Hadit are ever united the division becomes manifestin R.H.K. For
he says in Ch. III, v 2. There is division hither homeward,there is a
word not known. (Can there be any connection here with"She shall be known
and I never?) Spelling is defunct, all is not aught.Not: AUGHT, may
indicate the nature of the All LA, Not AL aught.

Verse 48. Note the OX or Aleph and the Fool or O, seemsto indicate the
explanation given above, also points to the idea thatthe key is something
which itself combines these ideas.

Ch. I, v 51. Mentions the 4 Gates, and this is the mysteryof the path of
Aleph again, and the fourfold name R.H.K. One can enterthese in turn or
at once, if he understands the trick of combinations.

Ch. I. v 52. "If this be not aright, if ye confound thespace marks
saying: They are one, or saying, They are many" etc.

There should be no space-marks, except on the plane ofreason. When the
experience of this mystery is granted, it will be seenhow there are none,
for the whole thing is a continuous process, even asNuit is continuous.

Ch. I, v 55. He has beheld some of them I think, as isproved by this
writing.

Ch. I, v 56. Indicates that there are two halves of theequation, even as
there are two aspects of this Word.

Ch. I, v 57. ?House of God = Beth-EL = Path of Beth?

Ch. II, v 2. "I, Hadit am the complement of Nuit my bride".This
indicates they are really One or None, and I think theWord clears this
up.

Verse 7. "Come unto me" is a foolish word; for it is Ithat go". "Come
unto me" is the call of Nuit. When Hadit (AL) considersNuit (LA) or
"lifts up his head" He becomes Not therefore He goes.

Ch II, v 14. "Now let there be a veiling of this shrine;now let the light
devour men and eat them up with blindness"

Verse 15. "For I am perfect being Not and my number isnine by the fools,
but with the just I am eight and one in eight which isvital, for I am
none indeed."

Hadit here clearly says he is Not, or BEING-NOT (a combinationof Nuit and
Hadit as the Perfect and Perfect, which, be it rememberedare One, nay
None.) We have considered His particular aspect as ALrather than LA, but
the previous verse indicates a blind. He is the shrineveiled by Not, for
AL is the manifestation of LA, and LA is the hiding ofAL (See first verse
of Chapters I and II). He is Eight with the just becausethey consider the
balance of things and so consider him as AL-LA whichagain gives 62 = 8 =
Cheth = 418 = Fool = Aleph = None as explained beforein answer to the
riddle of Nuit. This shows he is One (Aleph) in eight,and also None,
quite clearly.

Now comes the striking indication of an underlying formulain this Book,
which can be read in two ways, and the very same Wordis used to express
this, only in the English instead of the Hebrew, whichof course throws
one off the scent of the mystery.

Ch. II, v 19. "Is a God to live in a dog? No. But thehighest are of us."

Now in English, God is Dog if reversed, but the Hebrewfor God is AL which
reversed gives LA which is Not. One can hardly get awayfrom the hint of
the true nature of the Key, once it is pointed out, especiallysince it is
followed by the negative No. (another translation ofLA) and a statement
that the highest or those who comprehend this mystery."are of us".

Ch. II, v 23. I am alone; there is no God where I am.

I am AL-ONE, there is LA-AL where I am, viz: He is bothone with Nuit and
Ra-Hoor-Khuit.

Ch. II, v 26. I am the secret serpent (Wisdom of the Word)coiled about to
spring. If I lift up my head I and my Nuit are one. IfI droop down my
head and shoot forth venom, there is rapture of the earth,and I and the
earth are one.

Gives another proof of the peculiar dual aspect of theWord. It will be
noticed that Nuit has said that the God and the Adorerare upon the Earth.
As God, Hadit is one with the Earth, as NOT, he is onewith Nuit. Also
Hadit is called Her secret centre and the world, herheart and her tongue,
the House or Home of Hadit, makes the spoken Word possible.

Verse 27. There is great danger in reasoning over thisMystery, it must be
realized.

Verse 32. All their words are skew-wise, viz: they donot partake of the
true peculiar nature of the True Word which is equallybalanced and can be
read either backwards or forwards.

Verse 33. "Damned for a dog", the reverse of God in itswrong aspect.

Verse 76. I don't make this out yet, but it seems to indicatethat it will
not come till later, after the Prophet's time. AnywayAL appears twice
among the letters.

Ch. III, v 2. This was commented upon before. This wholechapter appears
to me to be quite a different character to the formerones. R-H-K is the
Word as the offspring of Hadit and Nuit.

Verse 35. The half of the word of Heru-ra-ha probablyindicates some
mystery in this division as indicated in Verse 2. I thinkthus far he has
been LA, for in Verse 35 we have him worshipped as ALor God. (Unity-
uttermost-might of breath)

Verse 47. Note according to this theory the importanceof the letters and
their positions to one another. Also the statement thatone shall discover
the key of it all. (By the way, V. 39 makes a statement"In it is the word
secret and not only in the English". I think this maymean that the Word
AL does not appear at all, and NOT only appears in theEnglish instead of
Hebrew) [C]

I think Verse 48 terminates the AL section, and Verse49 mentions the
Fourfold word, which I have taken to be LA AL.

Verse 71 may indicate AL as Chochmah and LA as Binah andthe solution of
the Mystery in Kether Hadit.

Verse 74 may indicate that the splendour in His name hiddenand glorious
is the two centre letters A.A. The Silver Star. Note,according to
Blavatsky AL is the Sun or Phallus.
 

Friday, 11th October 1918 E.V.

I spent last evening with Therion; during our conversation,he said that
he thought Nuit and Hadit were best expressed as Matterand Motion. He
also said that all things must be considered as Zeroor Two, as if One
were arrived at "there was no getting away from it."I pointed out that
there must be some formula combining Zero and One, orthe Tree of Life
could never have been conceived of and formulated. Headmitted this but
said that so far he had failed to find such.

When I got to bed, I could not sleep, and a number ofother things
connected with this mystery came to me.

One was, the significant fact that when A.C. first gotinto touch with the
Brothers of A.A. (See Vision and Voice, I have not anybooks here, so
cannot quote), the Pass word was "There is No-God." Thisseems to confirm
this Word, as the central secret of A.ù.A.ù.Who also gave out the New Law.

I also notice that NU reversed is UN or One. Likewisewith the addition of
IT Nuit is Unit.

Then I remembered that in Equinox V (I think) AL is clearlydefined as the
Ox and the Goad, also as MATTER and MOTION, and I cannotsee how A.C.
could have missed this connection with Nuit and Hadit,since it is
undoubtedly the true formula of his present conceptionof Their nature.

Then I noticed another very important thing. I was wonderingwhy A and L
should be chosen, or rather why L, the 12th letter ofthe Hebrew alphabet
should follow A, the first. But this is not actuallythe case for AL is
the first sound in the pronunciation of Aleph the Firstletter of the
Hebrew alphabet (as it is also of Alpha) and the additionof Pe shows the
mouth as necessary to the spoken word, though in Kether,it was but a
silent breath through the nose. (Notice Kether is called"Long of nose",
also the Image is on a Face seen in profile, viz: onlyone aspect of the
word can be comsidered at a time in the reasoning mind).It is strange
also how L is pronounced LA-med, this showing the dualityas soon as it is
taken into consideration as a seperate letter.

Thus is AL, in very truth the first possible sound, andnotice that when
one pronounces it aloud, the tongue is raised and placedagainst the
teeth, but as soon as it is released, LA is automaticallypronounced by a
slightly indrawn breath. In the Silent breath of theBeginning this is
reversed, AL is the underlying sound of the indrawn breathand LA that of
the outgoing.

Now notice how Hadit is spoken of as the tongue of Nuitand how when His
head is raised etc. and lowered etc.

Note also how in pronouncing the first letter Aleph, one'stongue must
meet the teeth, and the tooth is Shin, the 31st path;also see how these
paths were welded in the Initiation of O.I.V.V.I.O.

Note. LA LA may stand for NOT NOT, or "something"; italso suggests 0 = 0
or 0 to the o degree.

ALLA suggests 1 to the o degree

LAAL suggests 0 to the 1st degree

Nothing under its three forms.

I also found, which seems to be of the greatest importancethat the
essence of Thelema is summed up in this Word. A is thepentagram, the Star
of Will and L is Libra, Justice or the Law, while 31backwards is 13 which
is Love and Unity. [D]

October 16th

Another discovery. During the Initiation of Dec. 1917the mind of
O.I.V.V.I.O. must have actually reversed and run backwards(See Liber
Thisharb) so that on reaching the beginning of the ideasunderlying the
Hebrew Alphabet he naturally arrived at the first letterALP in its
reverse order. He came therefore to P which accountsfor the Flash
(destroying the House of God or Beth EL) then in duesequence to LA or
nothing. This again reversed, as stated, and he got ALfollowed by another
flash P. Observe how all this is summed up in the Oneletter ALP which is
One and None.

Further, the process as described, produces the two A'sthus indicating
the inmost meaning of A.A.

But now if we begin to take into consideration 2 letters,we find in the
return process BA = To come or Go, which again reversesas AB, The Father.
Analysing the complete process we get Th.I.P.B.L.A.A.L.B.I.Th.

Th = The Tau Cross mentioned by O.I.V.V.I.O. as the signaccompanying the
process. Also, The Universe.
I = The creative essence (also hand which makes sign)and this is the
Spark of Light, first seen outside.
B = The Magician who makes the sign; also the House ofGod, the Body.
P = The Flash referred to, and the destruction of allresulting in
L = balance, then
A = Equilibrium, the Point perfectly centered in breast.(Hadit compre-
hended for a moment.)
AL = God
P = Another Flash (Flaming Sword).
B = Comprehension of this dual process in One and Nothingand understand-
ing of Beth El as true House of God.
I = Creative essence of the Word.
Th = Producing a New Universe. (Notice how all this isborne out in the
actual experience of O.I.V.V.I.O. as recorded.)
 

October 19

Another discovery re PARZIVAL, (as already mentioned)that this Word
reversed was what led me to the discovery of the Mysteryof AL and finally
to that of Aleph in which all is summed up.

I also noticed to-day that the Three Grades of the Ordermay be summed up
in the Letter Beth. For Beth is the Magician or the Lover,Yod is the
Hermit and Th the Universe or Man of Earth.

Again AL suggests, by shape, the Square and Compass veryaccurately, as
used by Masons to Symbolise God.

Now I feel that there is no more to be said on this matterat this time,
therefore I may return to the Contemplation of this Mysteryin Silence.
 

STATEMENT OF THE AUTHOR
March 13, 1948

I, CHARLES STANSFIELD JONES, (Frater Achad, etc.) of "TallTimbers", Deep
Cove, British Columbia, Canada, being the author of theaccompanying
manuscript entitled "Liber Thirty-One" (a part of myprivate magical
diary, originally transcribed and typed with one carboncopy in November
1918, the single copy having been delivered to AleisterCrowley by mail
early in September 1919 and since lost or destroyed)do now make the
following statement:

On March 4, 1948, I received from Gerald J. Yorke, Esq.,of 5, Montaque
Square, London, W.1., England, a letter which containedthe following:

"As you probably know A.C. had died. I am sorting hispapers prior to
their dispatch to America. Your Liber 31 has not survivedamongst these
papers, though there is a reference to it on page 127of The Equinox of
the Gods. Would you care to send me a copy, which onmy death will go to
the British Museum with my other Crowleyana. I thinkit important that one
copy of your treatise 31 should exist in this country,as if it does so
exist it will be available for anyone sufficiently interestedin Liber Al
to wish to see it."

In response to this request, and for the purpose statedby Mr. Yorke, I
have had prepared from the single original manuscriptin my possession one
further typescript and four carbon copies. The typescriptwhich accompan-
ies this statement has been personally checked by meand is a true copy
(only one extra note having been added on the first pagein reference to
original date of delivery of ms.) Of the four extra carboncopies it is my
intention to deliver one to Miss Grace R. Hallam of Vancouver,British
Columbia, Canada and one to Dr. J.P. Kowal of 5821 CheneStreet, Detroit
11, Michigan, U.S.A. so that there may be a record inthese countries as
well as in England. One of the remaining two copies willbe attached to
the original manuscript in my files, and the other keptin case of later
publication or other need. Further copies are not bebe made without my
written permission.

Oct 31st 1918 E.V. Just before sleeping I had an impressionthat if I
added up the total letters in my Mottoes they would =31. I did so
mentally and found UNUS IN OMNIBUS (= 13 = Achad) OMNIAIN UNO (= 10.ù.1 =

This is extraordinary becuase it was a kind of revelation.

I think this is one of the reasons why the Original inthe writing of the

there are mysteries in the _English_ that would not workout if translated.
