8 July (Water) Liber LXV, 3:62-63

62. But as Thou art the Last, Thou art also the Next, and as the Next do I reveal Thee to the multitude.
63. They that ever desired Thee shall obtain Thee, even at the End of their Desire.I have heard it told that the reason that God was able to create man, as told in the original mythic, was because it was known that man would evolve into The Gods, and because of that link, the "angels" were able to procreate with mankind.
The first God, is also the last.So, in the story the gods came here, saw us as primitives and gave us a leg up so to speak, and aeons later it is that species of life that returns, evolved and created, and starts the process all over
And the first shall become the last....
As I read this I recalled the Charge of the Goddess, in which we are told that we will find all that we seek with, for it has always been with us.

"Cupio—Latin for 'I desire.' Cupio is an ill fated word with bad numbers. It connects most easily with Qoph and The Moon. Still, it is an honest assessment of the state of my heart—simple, broad, and very human."
I had considered it (and forms of it) for part of a motto once
93, 93/93.

Thelemo--Greek for 'I desire'--might have more positive associations for you.

Or 'El'mo, for short.

Theta
Epsilon
Lambda
Epsilon
Mu
Omicron159: surpassing whiteness, point
This is a very nice number. Invert it and it comes out 951, a Hebrew equivalent for The Book of the Law!
How can I verify Thelemo--Greek for 'I desire'?

I know this is the wrong place for Qabalah questions, but I need to ask. How does this work—'El'mo?
Transfer this post to Qabalah if it seems too messy here.

You tickle it. And then it laughs.

I was thinking: EL (god), and Mo, the character who owns the bar on the Simpsons.

63. They that ever desired Thee shall obtain Thee, even at the End of their Desire.I may be thinking about this toooooo hard. This is more than about the next step. It seems to be about every step, much like the poem of Christ being with the person in the poem “Footprints in the sand”.
There seems to be a double intender here as end is equal to last, and seems to say ‘for thee has been with them from the first and will be with them to the last and will be with them to the end of their desire’.
