College of Thelema: Thelemic Education

I need to be directed to some sort of a beginers guide. A lot of the material presented here is to indepth for me at this time. I'm grappling with some of the violent passages in chapter three, and I can clearly see from some of your posts that this isn't uncommon and a discussion of this must be available.

One other question: As anyone linked tBotL to Objectivism?

Ah, that all makes sense. Very cool, you guys know your book.

This is the best source I've found for serious discussion of tBoTL. I'm reading through the forum now.

I just finished reading the Book of the Law, and I'm not in the process of understanding it more completely. I've got a lot of questions, but my first concerns passage 47.

47. This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh after him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all. Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his child & that strangely. Let him not seek after this; for thereby alone can he fall from it.

When you look at the hand written section you can see the line, and the imperfect squared circle. That page also has a grid with numbers on the side, and letters at the top. Are there any theories about this entry? It seem like something that would be noticed and discussed already, but I couldn't find anything about it when I searched.
