May 12 (Air) Liber LXV, Cap II, v. 4-6
-
**4. Stooping down, dipping my wings, I came unto the darkly-splendid abodes. There in that formless abyss was I made a partaker of the Mysteries Averse.
5. I suffered the deadly embrace of the Snake and of the Goat; I paid the infernal homage to the shame of Khem.
6. Therein was this virtue, that the One became the all.

First I see there is an ability to, at will, stoop down and dip the wings into the darkly splendid abodes. Perhaps from the heights of air to the depths of earth. From Liber Tzaddi "My adepts stand upright; their head above the heavens, their feet below the hells." The Adept has this ability having equilibrated the elements within her being.
Here there is danger in reaching down, but it is necessary for fullness, for completeness of being. Every part of our existence must unite and be absorbed into this Unity. Sometimes we have to dig in the mud to do that.
