"Nice numbers."
"Nice numbers"? Ya, very nice. Especially, when you look at the end of the Book of The Law: "The Book of the Law is Written and Concealed. Aum. Ha." According to Crowley, AUM = 1+70+40, HA 5+1. 111x6=666. Therefore, 'Aum. Ha' = 666 = 93 93/93. It appears as somebody signed a letter, like: "Sincerely yours, Metaxas" or, in Thelemic form: "93 93/93, Metaxas." However, at the end of the Book there is no signature. Who is the Author of the Letter? What is his name?
Numeric expression of 'Love is the law, love under will' is, as everyone of us knows, '93 93/93'. And next...
3+3+3=9 (which is the fourth nine in the expression)
9x4=36
1+2+3+4+5+6... +36=... 666!
Isn't it amazing?!

"Keep telling yourself this nonsense. "
Everything that goes from the mind - mine, as well as yours - is nonsense. While the truth is always beyond the words and thoughts. If speaking we don't have a goal to transcend the limitation, every our word will be nonsense forever...

"Motta obviously interpreted Liber AL over and over again"
Even if he did, he could, for he's the Master.

I am still working. As soon as I mingle my life with the universal life I'll be perfect in my words and my silence.

"My 93 pence worth - there is male and female in all of us, that which is referred to as "soul" is close enough to Hadit, male, for this to make sense. However, Hadit is nowhere to be found, so perhaps this emphasises the eastern, rather than western, concept, that woman "has" (that is, possesses) the "no-soul" that is Had, who can be seen as the manifestation of Nuit if Al 1.1 is seen as defining Had rather than an announcement to Had."
Thank you. You answered my question.

"I guess we have different interpretations of that phrase"
I have no interpretation at all. Even Masters, like Marcelo Motta didn't interpret Liber AL. In the The Commentaries of AL, the former interprets just the Crowley's words about certain verse of The Book of the Law, but not the Law itself, since nobody can interpret it except the Beast himself or his Magical Son. I just want to understand the words of the Beast, not the words of those praeterhuman beings, whose word even 666 was not able understand exhaustively. However, when the Book was given the Powers used the elements of Crowley's consciousness and meanings of HIS words for communication. That's why his explanation is the key to understanding, not because I worship him like a super-being, but just for simple reason: if you want to understand a text written in Chinese, a Hebrew dictionary will be useless. By the same way, if we need to understand The Book of the Law, we need find out what specific meaning Crowley himself putting in this or that word, or we will be condemned to read our own thoughts in the sacred text, copying the infamous mistakes of Christians (especially Protestants), who produced millions of heresies out of their 'Sola Scriptura'.

"The "Y" chromosome may be equated to Crowley's "Soul" this way"
Y is just a part of X, and, by the same way, from the biological point of view, XY is a home edition of the full professional XX. Body of a woman, especially reproductive part, and her nervous system, CNS, as well as PNS, are more sophisticated, than of a man. For example, female brain is more efficient, because it works with full capacity of a dual core system with larger bass bottleneck in the corpus callosum. The male testicles are just underdeveloped ovaries, vas deference is a short model of fallopian tubes, and prostata is exactly that could be an uterus, if the set of genes in the last chromosome would be complete. The only thing, in which a man has a real supremacy against a woman, is the enlarged (because of the huge amount of testosterone) clitoris... I mean, penis - is this tool a real place where my soul live? In general, spermatozoa differs from ova only by its smaller size (because of the less amount of genetic content) and its ability to move, especially in acid environment of the vagina for which all the staff designed. And how all of those material things are related to the soul, which is not material? The incarnation happens at the moment of conception, when the lucky guy (one out of millions released at the moment of the ejaculation!) enters the ovum. If it's not so, every man would have in his scrotum not only one, but billions of souls.
The teaching of 666 is deep and hard to comprehend, while people make a parody out of it. I believe this is one of the main reasons, why "the study of this Book is forbidden" and "all questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal" to the Beast's own writings. Through the years passed from my conversion and Initiation a met so many stupid explanations of the Thelemic principles, that started to appreciate more and more the wise words of Ankh-f-n-khonsu at the end of his book...
Well... I hope a sorror would drop in this theme and tell us how she fills to be a Thelemite without a soul...

"the theory of "Woman" being a void also holds up"
Maybe. But my question not about someone's theories, but about the opinion of the Thelemic authorities, Crowley at first, about Thelema teaching itself. It has totally practical meaning related with the neighbor theme on this forum: heruraha.net/viewtopic.php?t=2593 What should I tell a woman, who was astonished by the words form the comment to Liber AL? Is Thelema teaching about women the same as beliefs of Muslims and early Christians?

"
What is a "soul"? Is it awareness (i.e. 'psyche')? No. Is it the ability to reincarnate? I don't think so. Is it the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the possibility of becoming aware of and uniting with the True Self? I think so, and I know both men and women are capable of this.
"
AAMOF, the consciousness of the continuity of existence IS the ability to reincarnate, or what is a reincarnation as not a link with the previous lives? But whatever it is, if a woman has no soul, she doesn't have that consciousness of the continuity of existence at all and cannot have it, or we are in a trouble with formal logic. And if the differences between men and women are so dramatic, what they are doing with us in our temples and lodges, making the same practices with us, if they are able to be only a kind of tool for our Work?

"Remember that "Every Man and Every Woman is a Star.""
Right. But since "female star" built "from the circumference inwards", it is totally opposite to a "male star", and BECAUSE OF THIS, "has no soul", maybe like a collapsed black hole, which has no emission, devouring everything, even her own light. Please, don't think about me that I'm a kind of sexist, misogynist, male supremacist etc. I just need to understand, what he meant in this particular passage.

" I hope Crowley was joking."
In those words there is no shade of joking. Crowley explains a doctrine. And he's serious.

"Woman has no soul because she is soul."
I love your explanation. However, I'm still in doubt: if Nuit is Prakriti, primal motive force for a man, and space, and matter, the union with her leads to a dissolution of individual Self, a void of being and ceasing of existence. She is an end of any soul. And any woman is her incarnation and, therefore, a void, circumference, emptiness, soulless space, where any man dies. At least it is easy to make such conclusion from the cited words...

In The Law is for All pp. 26-27, in the comment to I,3, Crowley, explaining the difference between sexes, says that "woman has no soul". Is a woman a kind of a soulless creature, like a zombie or a computer? Is there a reincarnation for a woman? Does anything remain after her death, except her corpse?
Thank you. I enjoyed watching both parts and sent the links to my friends.

I am happy to meet you all, guys, here. About myself: more, than a decade I practiced and systematically studied Tarot. My first experience of Magick took place in O.T.O.
