October 18 (Luna) Liber VII, Cap. VI, v. 14-19

**14. There are deep secrets in these songs. It is not enough to hear the bird; to enjoy song he must be the bird.
15. I am the bird, and Thou art my song, O my glorious galloping God!
16. Thou reinest in the stars; thou drivest the constellations seven abreast through the circus of Nothingness.
17. Thou Gladiator God!
18. I play upon mine harp; Thou fightest the beasts and the flames.
19. Thou takest Thy joy in the music, and I in the fighting.

**Verses 14 and 15 recall, for me, the technique of the Assumption of God Forms amongst other things. A song is a great analogy since there is a different effect when you listen to one as opposed to when you sing or play it yourself. I think you get a deeper meaning and get more into the mind of the creator of that song, the formula, and the current. As this occurs there other layers to uncover one by one.
The fighting and music is done in reciprocal joy by the each performing their feats separately which I see as a spiral of sorts reaching towards the highest. It is the dance of life in that we do our part along our path and others do the same while at the same time we can look to each other for inspiration, joy, and ecstasy.
