Resh adorations
-
Anyone else use the paraphrase from the stele of revealing as the adoration taught thee by thy superior or part(s) of it?
Originally I was using just the last two stanzas as they are preceeded in Liber CCXX by "(these are the adorations as thou hast written)" and because the first of those two is especially obviously relevant. Recently I decided to include the other three stazas included in The Book of the Law in my adoration but once I started to memorize them I decided I might as well add the real first stanza and to recite the entire parahrase.

Yes. The passage, beginning with the phrase, "Unity uttermost showed!" is what is handed down within the Estai lineage. (This is true until 2=9, when there is a change.)

I do the whole adoration in Liber AL vel Legis pt. III and that is not including the first stanza about Nuit in the Stele.
To me it is not logical not to include the first sentences of the adoration in pt. III and begin only with "unity uttermost showed!" but, of course, I may not know something.
Btw I vibrate the God Names in the text - Khu, Ka, Khabs also.
To me the adoration is like the invocation in the Goetia. -
I have actually had greater success just adding the two stanzas preceeding the two I was origionaly reciting i.e. begining from 'unity uttermost' (as suggested).
Once all four are embrazened in my mind so that when I recite them I can reflect upon and listen to them (like I can/do with the two familiar to me already) I will probably again attempt to add the first two stanzas to my adoration.Any thoughts on why the first stanza was ommitted from the Book of the Law?

Im glad you actually took the time to do some research yourself.
I have read multiple reports online of various people all using the same lines of "Unity uttermost showed" etc. from ch.3

Personaly I don't care what others do - I care why. I am not satisfied about the answer that goes like "I was told to and I agreed". Just looking at the adoration I understand that the text needs coherence and for me to find coherence I need to include all the text Crowley included in CCXX part 3. That is my not so scientific explanation but I haven't found a better one. Anyone care to write one?

I personally have found it beneficent upon rising, and doing the first Adoration of Ra, that immediately after I will use the stanza 'Unity uttermost showed, I adore the might of thy breath, etc."
For the noon adoration, and the evening adoration I don't use the Stanza, but at the Midnight adoration, or upon retiring, I will use the Stanza again.
(I include the signs of the grades in each quarter as well, and visualize the god-form appropriate with each.)
In addition I also do Lunar adorations.
(Liber Qoph vel HECATE)
Sub Figura CThese include a general one for the Lunar adoration, as well as one for the Waxing Moon, one for the full moon, one for the waning moon, and one for the dark, or new moon.
There is however the traditional: 'Aum! tat savitur verenyam, Bhargo devasya dimahi, Dhio yo na pratyodayat.
(Much shorter and to the point.)
Just a personal preference on how I encompass Resh into my daily practices.
