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

First, a clarification of my own meaning in the sentence you quoted. I had a very precise meaning when I wrote that, in reference to the following verses from Liber L., Cap. 3:
- The fool readeth this Book of the Law, and its comment; & he understandeth it not.
- Let him come through the first ordeal, & it will be to him as silver.
- Through the second, gold.
- Through the third, stones of precious water.
- Through the fourth, ultimate sparks of the intimate fire.
- Yet to all it shall seem beautiful. Its enemies who say not so, are mere liars.
- There is success.
I understand these verses to mean that, over time, one shifts point of view on the Book - ones projections onto it change as oneself changes - and, for the most part, I see this as varying with one's own inner "level." Verses 63 and 68 refer to the likely p.o.v. of anyone not yet 2=9; v. 64 to those who have reached 2=9; v. 65 (!) to those who have reached 5=6; v. to those who have reached 8=3; and v. 67 to those who have reached 9=2.
So am I right in asuming that by taking the title "ultimate spark of the intimate fire" you claim to be 9=2?

No, that wouldn't be a valid conclusion - since I also stated (either in that thread or another) that, on this forum, it just means anyone who has made more than 300 posts
With this post, I make 432.
