THE EARLIEST THELEMIC TRINITY PART ONE
Why do people read the Book of the Law, what are they looking for? – answers: but answers to what questions? What are the primary questions to be answered?
What is life, what is its purpose, who are we, what are we doing here on earth and where are we going, and why?
The other holy texts do not provide entirely satisfactory answers. The Koran gives us laws to live by, and so does the Old Testament of the Bible while the New Testament has the reasons for obeying them; the sacred Hindu and Buddhist texts give us reincarnation and Nirvana; and a combination of Eastern and Western systems present a reasonable working hypothesis for the proper conduct of our lives. But the search is for truth. If you ask these questions you’ll go round the twist but ultimately you’ll get there; after all, we live for ever, you can spend many incarnations missing the point but sooner or later you will enter the royal road that leads to the truth. When we study these old texts and act upon them then we have various mystical experiences which boil down to the revelation that God is Love and everything’s all right with the world, but no answers to the big questions that can be dealt with using the rational mind.
Who or what is it that has faith, what level of being is it that is asking these questions? What in all this is really true?
Our minds will bubble and froth until as an atheist one goes mad or as a person of faith one’s mind burns out, because the only thing one can say is “I live, I change.”
Life is in a continuous state of change, nothing ever remains the same and nothing really repeats itself.
Indeed Life and Change are the big prime movers in the universe, the means by which the universe exists, the supreme gods and the supreme laws.
English Qaballa provides a essential tool for discovering the nature of any phenomenon, and the primary source for working with the E.Q. is the lexicon of Liber AL, the Book of the Law. Now the Book of the Law conceals a far greater secret than the mere occult nonsense that the text has been used for in the hundred odd years since Crowley received it. Before E.Q. was discovered on November 26th 1976 all kinds of attempts were made to make Liber AL slot into one set of pagan ideas or another but it just wouldn’t play, it always seemed to slide away and contradict whichever concept one tried to shoehorn it into. As it says at the end of the third chapter, the Book of the Law is written and concealed, which means that one must not use the obvious and literal interpretation, the bogeymen that are there to confound the ignorant and discourage those who are without discrimination will only serve to emphasise their ignorance. The people who can see beyond use E.Q. to divine what the text really means, and will find their faith strengthened in a way that comes from direct experience rather than hearsay. All religions can be found in AL, and each one produces the same enlightenment as the Christian viewpoint but from a different standpoint. Thelemites and Crowleyites and all the rest won’t like it but it is irrefutable, the Book of the Law supports all religions; although at first sight, without examination, it appears not to.
When E.Q. is used to examine each religion it illuminates the secret sacred mystery of each religion. It is not an intellectual process that the student will be embarking on, but a spiritual quest for truth. All religions support the one truth, like the spokes of a wheel which, without the axle to sustain them, would have no source, point or meaning. Any Christian, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist, or Jew who is put off by what he perceives to be the meaning of the words of Liber AL has already missed the point and failed the first test, and he can run away in righteous horror safe in the knowledge that he has saved himself from evil heaped upon evil. Alternatively if the text is read with a pure heart, without discrimination, and with the love of God as the only yardstick, then through the tests and ordeals of the quest, and through E.Q., a person may reach the spiritual heights and the knowledge that can only be limited by Destiny.
Incidentally, the sum total of the 26 letters of the English Alphabet is 351 and the reward of this number by the rules of E.Q. working is 153. CONSCIOUSNESS=153, and this means that all the factors that consciousness can express are in the letters of the English Alphabet.
Those who adhere to other languages such as Hebrew or Arabic with 22 letters lack four factors in consciousness that are available to those who ascribe to the English language.
This may appear unbelievable and fantastic, because it demands a coherent universe.
Most people believe in an incoherent and chaotic universe.
None of these texts are for them.
The great secret in the Book of the Law isn’t about silly new gods, because there aren’t any. The Book of the Law does not command or rule or conjecture, it is as it says it is, the Book of the Law, the one Law that explains, delineates, and reveals the will of God. It is the Revelation par excellence, the Law that governs creation forever; it is the Book of how God did it, and why; and the current position and destiny of mankind, his temporal and spiritual evolution that was implicit from the moment he chose to eat the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil until this moment and on into the infinite future.
I pray that Heaven will give us the grace to write it down, this secret which is the one truth that reveals all and heals all, revealed and concealed by numbers. It is found not by looking at the numbers that present themselves as being the most important and working from there, but by looking at the realities that are most important to man and looking at their numerical values and the consequent relationships indicated by their numbers.
