    (v. 69) 3. In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found.
    (v. 70) 4. Yet she shall be known & I never.

    (From an old diary...)

    Verse 3 declares a mathematical property of any point soever within an infinite space. Thus, the “sphere” in question must be infinite (which explains why its limit is “nowhere found”). Every point is the center. Also, perceptually, the point of view composes reality so as to be centered around it. We are told here, between the lines, that this is true for all points of view. This necessarily means that all points of view are entirely equal in value and legitimacy. (Most people do not realize that conceptual orientation is locational, even though our language is loaded with words and phrases that treat point of view or opinion as locational, as if within an “idea space”: “my position,” “where I’m at,” “where I’m coming from,” “are we getting closer (or farther apart) on that,” etc.)

    Again, these verses continue the definition of Had’s and Nu’s basic polarity. She is the circumference, He the center; but, as He is the Point of View itself (eye = Capricorn = 70 = SVD), He is never seen. She, on the other hand, is “known.” That is, all that is “seen” in any fashion is Her.

    Even with this utterly reversed reference frame from Nuit to Hadit, these are still the words of the Holy Guardian Angel, that inmost seed of Light within each of us.

    At the moment I attempt to conceptualize a sphere of infinite size, yet it dissipates every time...
