July 1 (Water) Liber LXV, Cap. III, v. 47-48

I teeter totter on whether these verses express pain or pleasure. I think probably both, exceedingly
Spilt blood, the old container laid to waist, our life force splashed out across creation. The Ravens of Dispersion is a great image of depravity, hunger, and a ravaging going forth. The spreading out of the life force encompasses all that we have available in consciousness. We take part in it All and with no limitations set forth we are loosened from what restricted us previously according to our progress. The kingdom of heaven is taken by force and the veil is ripped asunder.
Very motivating verses. Perhaps the Eighth Abyss refers to Hod combined with other ocean imagery for this Water chapter.

I think, this year, I haven't mentioned that this is the chapter I memorized as a Probationer. I love this chapter - got to know it intimately, syllable by syllable.
There are other parts of Liber LXV I adore, but this chapter - inch by inch - has never lost its wonder for me. Verily and amen!
