November 27 (Nuit) Liber L., Cap. I, v. 37-38
-
The scribe from the previous verse is the "he" referred to in learning and teaching the different magical arts explained. For me there is a little blurring of the lines between the incarnation of Aleister Crowley, the office he represents, and its continuity throughout time. I don't suppose he was the last expected to learn and teach these things and that the ordeals wouldn't continue without him.
I take it that in this tradition with all things that have come before it up until the writing of this book and even the subsequent things added by others in this tradition until now that there are arts, magical and mystical, that are learned and taught. "He must teach" strikes home interestingly. Even if the inclination of the person isn't to teach - he must. I don't regard this as against anyone's true will so even if there is resistance this must mean this is an inherent quality of one who learns. One who learns must teach and it may even be natural and spontaneous rather than formal and codified.
As the verse goes on, this gets twisted up for me again with who is making the ordeals severe? In Crowley's life, I believe he took this as a direct command for him to abide by when needed. Others may also take this as license to do so in their context of student/teacher relations. Also, life has shown me that it plans out the ordeals in a way no person's personality could expect to match. I lean towards life being the ultimate teacher and the issuer of ordeals in this sense, though in the context of a linkage with a teacher this may come into play as well - even unconsciously between them. I wouldn't say I have this all worked out, but that is where I am right now (changes slightly by the day).
