December 1 (Nuit) Liber L., Cap. I, v. 49-50
-
**49. Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs. Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa, who also are one. But they are not of me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating.
50. There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold! there are three ordeals in one, and it may be given in three ways. The gross must pass through fire; let the fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty chosen ones in the highest. Thus ye have star & star, system & system; let not one know well the other!

Taking probably mostly a surface view of this verse it simply states there has been a dramatic shift in, ,well, everything. A new perspective on the silent formula of human transformation has now been enthroned in the depths of consciousness.

The Hierophant, often referred to as the inner teacher, is tasked. The formula of our transformation causes change on the different parts of existence - the gross, fine, and lofty. The effect is unique, as each of us is intended to be so. Initially, this brings up a bit of confusion in juxtaposition to the aforementioned focus on unity and dissolution of many of the previous verses. Perhaps, for this stage of our existence and transformation a compartmentalization of ourselves is required in order to reach the ultimate goal.
