December 22 (Hadit) Liber L., Cap. II, v. 27-33
-
27. There is great danger in me; for who doth not understand these runes shall make a great miss. He shall fall down into the pit called Because, and there he shall perish with the dogs of Reason.
28. Now a curse upon Because and his kin!
29. May Because be accursèd for ever!
30. If Will stops and cries Why, invoking Because, then Will stops & does nought.
31. If Power asks why, then is Power weakness.
32. Also reason is a lie; for there is a factor infinite & unknown; & all their words are skew-wise.
33. Enough of Because! Be he damned for a dog! -
A great danger in Hadit? I suppose one of the dangers is in seeking Him out. In doing so a web is cast to be caught in and the struggle of Reason tends to drag one further into being snagged. The impression I get is to transcend reason and the text itself, on the surface, sounds very dismissive. I think this is to get the point across and to display the perspective of Hadit and a consciousness closer to its understanding.
So of course we use our reason and we must do so as humans to survive for the most part. In the evolution of our consciousness we will understand more of the "why" questions and in order to grow we must ask that question. However, there are many things beyond our comprehension of "why" that at this moment can't be answered and the pit of Because and the snag of Reason awaits to entrap us and actually stunt our growth. Hadit here is telling us to break out of that into pure being and a consciousness that just exists and is stripped from the drag of reason.
