    So I was setting here thinking about LXV because I have to memorize a chapter. To be honest I hate this Liber. It doesn't appeal to the mystic in me. This is the only one I don't like and its the only one I haven't read 100+ times.

    So I was setting here with My Holy Books and I was counting the pages trying to find the shortest chapter to memorize (because I hate this Liber). I noticed a pattern.

    Every chapter but the last one is 5 pages long. The last one is 8 pages. so it would look like this: 5 5 5 5 8.

    My first thoughts are that the four 5's represent the pentagram on the four planes of existence and the 8 represents the qabbalah that forms (and maybe binds together) the 4 pentagrams sort of like Spirit in relation to the 4 elements.

    Can I get some thoughts on this please? πŸ˜„ Thank You:)

    I've also noticed that certain books, subjects, topics, etc. seem to get sidelined in an uncanny way for me until I'm "ready" for them... something very uncanny in it, beyond just "not getting it" initially. Inclinations at a given time seem to be intertwined as well.

    "(apart from paying the bills of course, although you can correct me on that)"

    "It is my will to make money/that I might pay the bills/that I might continue to thrive/that i might accomplish the Great Work (i.e. K&C)" Makes sense to me, at least! πŸ˜€"

    I've noticed that too, interesting huh? I seem to have had something of a satori moment recently and all sorts of things that I ignored before are jumping out at me in unexpected ways, I've even taken to reading the Bible! which proves that you really can find God in a pile of dung πŸ˜‰

    Lol, I like that a lot, I might start doing "Will" more often, and at every opportunity.
    But I tell you; you have not lived until you have recited the Holy books over a dirty toilet πŸ˜† ( I currently clean at the College where I study to help pay the bills) It certainly give you a sense of humility, but I figured, while I'm touching the shells I may as well get down and dirty with the grossest of gross matter, mayhap I'll find a jewel hidden yet.
    Can you guess my chapter of Liber Lxv!?

        I find this really odd. All I had at first was the HB. I didn't read or mess with anything else for about 5 years.

        Anyway, I am over it. I am going to approach it like reading poetry.I think that might work. I am going to read some tonight and see what happens.If I have to I will just force my way through it. Either way its getting read 😑

            Try reading it aloud. It makes a huge difference. (Especially since you have to recite it at the end of your labors.)

                      I can say that this Liber is definitely starting to sing πŸ†’ The following is a beautiful passage:

                      "

                      1. Who art thou that dost float and fly and dive and soar in the inane? Behold, these many Γ¦ons have passed; whence camest thou? Whither wilt thou go?
                      2. And laughing I chid him, saying: No whence! No whither!
                      3. The swan being silent, he answered: Then, if with no goal, why this eternal journey?
                      4. And I laid my head against the Head of the Swan, and laughed, saying: Is there not joy ineffable in this aimless winging? Is there not weariness and impatience for who would attain to some goal?
                        25.And the swan was ever silent. Ah! but we floated in the infinite Abyss. Joy! Joy!
                        White swan, bear thou ever me up between thy wings!
                        --LIBER LXV
                        "

                        I was setting here thinking about LXV. I am amazed how one scene merges into another without a notice by me. It seamless but it doesn't "look" seamless:p I hope I made sense πŸ†’

                          I think your beginning to get it πŸ˜€
                          As you have probably noticed you can't really analyse Liber Lxv intellectually, it kind of gets into your pores and alters the way you see things, at least it did with me.
                          I believe that is why Probationers have to spend all that time memorising it, I find that I recite it while I work in the mornings, going over passages slowly, savouring it, and every now and then I notice a layer of meaning that I missed before, so far it has been one of the most productive areas of my practice since I became a probationer, it has informed my other practices and shed light on areas that I did not even know existed, answered questions as I thought to ask them, and really given me a sense of aspiration.

                          I hope you get as much out of it as I am.

                            So I was setting here thinking about LXV because I have to memorize a chapter. To be honest I hate this Liber. It doesn't appeal to the mystic in me. This is the only one I don't like and its the only one I haven't read 100+ times.

                            So I was setting here with My Holy Books and I was counting the pages trying to find the shortest chapter to memorize (because I hate this Liber). I noticed a pattern.

                            Every chapter but the last one is 5 pages long. The last one is 8 pages. so it would look like this: 5 5 5 5 8.

                            That's my favorite aspect of the Holy Books, and particularly Libri LXV and CDXVIII, the fact that you can constantly gain deeper insights into them (not to mention of course, the BOTL) πŸ˜„

                                      i am stunned by chapter 3. It explains the H.O.O.R. "heart-shield". It was right in front of my face and I didnt even realize it for 18 years.It Shows me what happens when you neglect a Holy Book.

                                      "

                                      1. I follow Thee, and the waters of Death fight strenuously against me. I pass unto the Waters beyond Death and beyond Life.
                                      2. How shall I answer the foolish man? In no way shall he come to the Identity of Thee!
                                      3. But I am the Fool that heedeth not the Play of the Magician. Me doth the Woman of the Mysteries instruct in vain; I have burst the bonds of Love and of Power and of Worship.
                                      4. Therefore is the Eagle made one with the Man, and the gallows of infamy dance with the fruit of the just.
                                        --Liber LXV; CH3
                                        "

                                      I am shocked by this verse.It describes something I didn't think could be described with words.

                                        25 For Thou art He! Yea, Thou shalt swallow up Asi and Asar, and the children of Ptah. Thou shalt pour forth a flood of poison to destroy the works of the Magician. Only the Destroyer shall devour Thee; Thou shalt blacken his throat, wherein his spirit abideth. Ah, serpent Apep, but I love Thee!
                                        26 My God! Let Thy secret fang pierce to the marrow of the little secret bone that I have kept against the Day of Vengeance of Hoor-Ra. Let Kheph-Ra sound his sharded drone! let the jackals of Day and Night howl in the wilderness of Time! let the Towers of the Universe totter, and the guardians hasten away! For my Lord hath revealed Himself as a mighty serpent, and my heart is the blood of His body.

                                          So I was setting here thinking about LXV because I have to memorize a chapter. To be honest I hate this Liber. It doesn't appeal to the mystic in me. This is the only one I don't like and its the only one I haven't read 100+ times.

                                          So I was setting here with My Holy Books and I was counting the pages trying to find the shortest chapter to memorize (because I hate this Liber). I noticed a pattern.

                                          Every chapter but the last one is 5 pages long. The last one is 8 pages. so it would look like this: 5 5 5 5 8.

                                          My first thoughts are that the four 5's represent the pentagram on the four planes of existence and the 8 represents the qabbalah that forms (and maybe binds together) the 4 pentagrams sort of like Spirit in relation to the 4 elements.

                                          Can I get some thoughts on this please? πŸ˜„ Thank You:)

                                          Something to ponder:

                                          RaHoorKhuit is the HGA of the planet. Therefore some aspect of this energy must be hidden within my HGA like dna.

                                          There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
