Verse 3 is the real essence of Thelema, the fundamental teaching of The Book of the Law. Every 93-key of our doctrine exists as a corollary of these eight word which are the first overt teaching of Liber Legis.
Notice the reversal of perspective between v. 2 and v. 3. In v. 2, Chokmah, the male perspective, is witnessing the whole of the body of the heavens. In v. 3, Binah, the feminine, is witnessing all of the individual components, each individual element.

As I sit and read some posts here and there....
It seems so alien to me,
And I wonder why I come here to try to figure things out....
But then V.3 resonates so deep and true with me,
When I read it,
In my head
And espicially out loudEverything false falls away,
All the mist clears
And the static stopsAnd my whole being shifts into a clarity and a focus, and I know who I am and why I am here and I know that it's ok that I don't understand how blokes think or why they do what they do....
In Wicca I was taught the words.....thou art goddess,
But I am so much more,
I am a star,Hey, now
I m a rock star
Get your game on and go playThat is from band called smash mouth, and was used in the movie Shrek, which IMO is a fabulous movie filled with Thelemic ideals....
Only shootings stars break the mold....
