June 14 (Water) Liber LXV, Cap. III, v. 8-9

[GabrielO]

**8. But I beheld in thee a certain taint, even in that wherein I delighted.
9. I beheld in thee the taint of thy father the ape, of thy grandsire the Blind Worm of Slime.

Cf. Liber XC, v. 37 FWIW.

[GabrielO]

Continuing in the pleasures of Nephesh...a taint. A disturbance in the force. Our lowest natures (most outward) are pointed out and the taint I think comes from remembering that we are seeking our highest nautres (most inward).
