    ASAR - Osiris

    APEP - Apophis

    ISA - Jesus

    HOOR (as in liber AL chapter1/49.... is it female? babalon?) Nope <g> - it's simply Horus

    BAHLASTI - OMPEHDA - These words don't exist outside of Liber Legis 3:54.

    COPH NIA - This doesn't exist outside of Liber L., 3:72.

    "I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power; the wand of the Force of Coph Nia -- but my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; & nought remains." -- AL III:72

    Nia is a transliteration, written in the Hebraic right-to-left, of the word AIN, meaning Naught.

    Coph is the Hebrew letter which means "grasping hand".

    "Coph Nia" means "my left hand is empty, for I have crushed an Universe; & nought remains."

    THELEMA

    i was thinking the use of HOOR have some deeper meaning due to it is apart of both sides of horus, RA-HOOR-KHUIT & HOOR-PAAR-KRAAT.

    OMPEHDA i could see as OM-Peh-DA: ayin/male & mem/female-water are conjoined, Peh orgasm takes place, DA the empress is impregnated with A baphomet. though i dont think this is the use of it in liber AL, so this may be wrong, this words were "fightin words".

    zeph i have read what you wrote about COPH NIA before but was wondering if there may be something else besides that with the whole 0=2 formula.

    Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

    Remember that the COPH NIA part was written in after the fact by the Scarlet Woman, Ouarda. Regardie pointed out to me once that this is consistent with what you might see when somebody who doesn't know Hebrew, and confuses right-to-left, might write when starting to write AIN SOPH and got directions wrong. (The C shape is the Medieval Greek S.)

    I accept "Ain Soph" as the first level that was intended.

    Years later, I thought this through from the question: But why - working from the rpesumption that Ouarda was guided in what she wrote - would the Greek variant be used? If it was going to get mixed up, why not SOPH NIA? I came to the conclusion that it was because we were supposed to enmerate it in Greek. The Greek SOPh NIA = 831 - PhALLOS (among others). Therefore, I concluded that this is the Wand of the Force of the Phallus.

    And if his right hand is busy empty...

    THELEMA

    i am not understanding exactly what you are saying zeph??? where did i read what??? sorry i am not following you??

    jim that definetely makes since with roses mistake, i was thinking though it maybe a complete mistake to let her changes stay in liber AL, there are like 3 different changes she made, another is on the tzaddi that doesnt look like a tzaddi, the whole switch thing you know, and there is one other i forget now. it is said:

    1. My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu, the priest of the princes, shall not in one letter change this book; but lest there be folly, he shall comment thereupon by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khuit.

    now i wonder if this is saying if rose changes it, it will be ok??? just something i have been thinking about???

    You said you had read somewhere what I had written above about Coph Nia -- I was curious to know where you read it.

    Sort of. His Old Comment reads:

    "Coph Nia. I cannot trace this anywhere; but KOPhNIA adds to 231. Nia is Ain backwards; Coph suggests Quoth. All very unsatisfactory."

    I don't know what the heck "Quoth" means, unless he means Qoph; but like me he sees Coph as Kaph, else he wouldn't enumerate the phrase to 231. He doesn't appear to see it as being a representation of an empty hand.

    There is some Latin gematria for 231:

    aurora philosophorum
    aurum philosophorum
    spiritus corporalis

    There are also 231 gates of Binah, if memory serves -- every possible combination of two Hebrew letters. (Hey, like I said, if memory serves.)

    In another note, as long as I'm in the Commentary, it's clear how very hard Crowley tried to tie verses of the Book to contemporary events -- first he attributes v. 71 to WWI, then to a potential war beginning at the Straits of Gibralter, and then to a Spanish Civil War circa 1937. CLEARLY the twin warriors are a reference to the Red State vs. Blue State USA circa 2000-2008! Lol...

    Mind you, Jim's notes on AIN SOPh and 831 are compelling.

    "ammon-ra"

    An Egyptian god - look him up in standard books on Egyptian Mythology.

    "thebai"

    Curious where you came across this. In any case, it's the Greek, or Graeco-Coptic, spelling of "Thebes."

    "thebai i found in liber 7 chapter 3."

    Notice that if you enumerate it as if Hebrew:

    Th = 400
    H  =   5
    B  =   2
    A  =   1
    I  =  10
    -----------
         418```
    
    Hence, "I am the Lord of Thebes..." &amp;c.

    No, no, no, not at all.

    Thebes is the name of a city. There is one by that name in Egypt, another in Greece. Presumably, the Liber Legis references are to the one in Egypt, since that's the literal reference of the hieroglyphs on the Stele; but (more often than not) I seriously wonder if the real Thelemic mythic relationship is to the Thebes in Greece. (In Crowley's highly Oedipal psyche, I'm pretty sure that was the case! ❗ )
