    Yknow you are told to not fear the laughter of the folk folly, * Cp3 17. The implication is that as one of the .. chosen ones.* Cp1 31 you* are *going to be fucked with by the ones who are not the chosen ones. They will find you i.e. your true nature, funny.

    More to the point, what are the ingredients of such a chosen one, a king or queen?

    Liber Legis uses the word "king" to mean Adept. At least, that's my view, and that of Soror Meral. This is routine Qabbalistic code, since Melekh is one of the titles of Tifereth.

    No, no, no, that's all backwards.

    It's saying that common folks (ordinary people, the masses) are likely the make fun of what they don't understand. Adepts are counselled not to fear being ridiculed by the masses.

    ...and likewise, aspiring Adepts also?

    100% agree!
    The masses "ordinary people" have a totally different
    Perspective of the world. It's easy to see where they might view Thelemites as bat shit 👹 but that should
    In no way deter us from the path.
    We being Thelemites, free noble men and women
    Should care little of what those in cages think of us.
