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

    @Jim Eshelman said

    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:

    1. The fool readeth this Book of the Law, and its comment; & he understandeth it not.
    1. Let him come through the first ordeal, & it will be to him as silver.
    2. Through the second, gold.
    3. Through the third, stones of precious water.
    4. Through the fourth, ultimate sparks of the intimate fire.
    5. Yet to all it shall seem beautiful. Its enemies who say not so, are mere liars.
    6. 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.
