Liber L., Cap. III (Heru-Ra-Ha)

[Avshalom Binyamin]

I am not afraid of:
Losing my friends and family
Losing my house or my money
Losing my right arm
Losing my mind

For if I have courage
The god of courage will use
Another mind
Another arm
Another font of riches
Another family
And the victors will win the war

Change is death
And I love change
As much as I love death
I'll never stop changing.

Thank's to my companions!

Strangely, on reading today, these words feel more intimately addressing me than those of Chapters I & II. There is such clearness and simplicity here.
Re v. 73 - may be an instruction to read the book in the reverse sequence: start with Ch. III, v. 75 and go, verse by verse, to Ch.I, v. 1.
....tried this immediately; it can be read so, though there are places where there is no perfect flow (or at least not an obvious one) from verse to verse.

"Conquer! That is enough."

The false is vanquished. That is the central premise of it all. Give in, surrender, submit, succumb to the silent self within, and emerge entirely triumphant.
