Liber VII, Cap. VI, v. 14-19
14. There are deep secrets in these songs. It is not enough to hear the bird; to enjoy song he must be the bird.
15. I am the bird, and Thou art my song, O my glorious galloping God!
16. Thou reinest in the stars; thou drivest the constellations seven abreast through the circus of Nothingness.
17. Thou Gladiator God!
18. I play upon mine harp; Thou fightest the beasts and the flames.
19. Thou takest Thy joy in the music, and I in the fighting.

The first verse here brings to mind the difference between being a student and teaching. From listening to and idea to transmitting the idea. In order to transmit something, properly or approaching properly, one must have understanding of it in ways that are deeper than listening to instruction. There is a stage when a person must mature, and herein these verses it is spiritually, to embodiment of an idea rather than a distant acknowledgement of the form.

So now, in this shift, the scribe embodies the bird and musician whom before was simply listened to and adored. Now the song is more fully grasped as an adoration towards the god here worshiped. And this is active and there is interplay between the God and the worshipper. They each take joy in the other's expression - "My joy is in your joy". The interplay is important and commonly expresses itself to me as a spiral moving upward into the air. The polarity of the two moving each other in a circular motion higher and higher.
