"Liber LXV, Cap. III, v. 8-9
- But I beheld in thee a certain taint, even in that wherein I delighted.
- I beheld in thee the taint of thy father the ape, of thy grandsire the Blind Worm of Slime."
Oh the taint that I delight in. It is so and as alluded too rooted in our "animal" nature perhaps. It is close to us even as pleasure and comfort are so instinctual to most of us. The key here, for me, being to look beyond the past concepts of original sin that these verses stoke up for me. Life is to be experienced as it is which includes the pleasurable and the painful. The point here for me is to observe its nature and understand it for what it is and move within that consciousness rather than blindness.
