3 Aspects Diety (I, He, Thou)
-
From Essay on Number:
- wt, the letter Tau (see 400), also AThH, “Thou.” Note that AHA (7), the divine name of Venus (7) gives the initials of Ani, Hua, Ateh—I, He, Thou; three different aspects of a deity worshipped in three persons and in three ways: viz. (1) with averted face; (2) with prostration; (3) with identification.
Q1: How do these align?
Ani = I = Identification
Hua = He = Averted Face
Ateh = Thou = ProstrationQ2: Are the God Names in the LBRP similarly three ways to worship deity + 1 formula of how deity works (or am I reaching on this one):
YHVH = the recipe (the next three are ingredients)
Adonai = He = Averted Face
Eheieh = I = Identification
AGLA = Thou = ProstrationQ3: What are the intentions of each type of practice?
Identification = Ego as God
Averted Face = God as all encompassing including Ego
Prostration = Ego as Dirt -

Q1: How do these align?
Ani = I = Identification
Hua = He = Averted Face
Ateh = Thou = Prostration"That's how I'd do it, though one wonders why Crowley didn't keep the sequence parallel.
"Q2: Are the God Names in the LBRP similarly three ways to worship deity + 1 formula of how deity works (or am I reaching on this one):"
That's not bad, really. Actually insightful. But I'd rearrange them differently. AHYH, of course, is Identification. I'd say YHVH is Averted Face (since it's the completely ineffable, unpronounceable, etc.), and ADNY is most characteristically used in deep devotion, thus the Prostration leg. (The notariqon A.G.L.A. is just a particularization of the adoration of ADNY.)
"Q3: What are the intentions of each type of practice?
Identification = Ego as God
Averted Face = God as all encompassing including Ego
Prostration = Ego as Dirt"I'd suggest reading a standard work on Bhakti Yoga - Vivekananda's is excellent, and even Liber Astarte touches on it. - The purpose can change with the individual and situation. For example, while prostration can indeed be used for ego mortification, it is also an act of sublime adoration.
