|
ooo. This is the Book of the Cult of the Infinite Without.
|
|||
|
|
oo. The Aspirant is Hadit. Nuit is the infinite espansion
|
|||
|
|
of the Rose; Hadit is the infinite concentration of the Rood
|
|||
|
|
(Instruction of V.V.V.V.V.).
|
|||
|
|
o. First let the Aspirant learn in his heart the
|
|||
|
|
First Chapter of THE BOOK OF THE LAW (Instruction of V.V.V.V.V).
|
|||
|
|
1. Worship, i.e. identify thyself with, the Khabs, the
|
|||
|
|
secret Light within the Heart. Within this again, unextended,
|
|||
|
|
is Hadit.
|
|||
|
|
This is the first practice of the Meditation (ccxx,I:6 and 21).
|
|||
|
|
2. Adore and understand the Rim of the Stele of Revealing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Above, the gemmed azure is
|
|||
|
|
The naked splendor of Nuit;
|
|||
|
|
She bends in ecstasy to kiss
|
|||
|
|
The secret ardours of Hadit
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is the first practice of Intelligence (ccxx, I:14).
|
|||
|
|
3. Avoid any act of choice or discrimination.
|
|||
|
|
This is the first practice of Ethics (ccxx, I:22).
|
|||
|
|
4. Consider the six and fifty that 50/6=0.12.
|
|||
|
|
o the circumference Nuit.
|
|||
|
|
. the center, Hadit.
|
|||
|
|
1 the unity proceeding, Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
|
|||
|
|
2 the world of illusion.
|
|||
|
|
Nuit thus comprehends All in None.
|
|||
|
|
Also 50+6=56=5+6=11, the key to all Rituals.
|
|||
|
|
And 50X6=300, the Spirit of the Child within.
|
|||
|
|
(Note NFic=72, the Shemhamphorash and the
|
|||
|
|
Quinaries of the Zodiac, etc.)
|
|||
|
|
This is the second practice of Intelligence (ccxx,I:24,25).
|
|||
|
|
5. The Result of this Practice is the Consciousness of
|
|||
|
|
the Continuity of Existence, the Omnipresence of the
|
|||
|
|
Body of Nuit.
|
|||
|
|
In other words, the Aspirant is conscious only of the
|
|||
|
|
Infinte Universe as a single Being.
|
|||
|
|
This is the first Indication of the Nature of the Result
|
|||
|
|
(ccxx,I:26).
|
|||
|
|
6. Meditate upon Nuit as the Continuous One Resolved
|
|||
|
|
into None and Two as the phases of her being.
|
|||
|
|
This is the second practice of Meditation (ccxx,I:27).
|
|||
|
|
7. Meditate upon the facts of Samadhi on all planes
|
|||
|
|
the liberation of heat in chemistry, joy in natural history,
|
|||
|
|
Ananda in religion, when two things join to lose themselves
|
|||
|
|
in a third.
|
|||
|
|
This is the third practice of Meditation (ccxx, I:28,29,30).
|
|||
|
|
8. Let the Aspirant pay utmost reverence to the
|
|||
|
|
Authority of the A.*.A.*. and follow Its instructions,
|
|||
|
|
and let him swear a great Oath of Devotion unto Nuit.
|
|||
|
|
This is the second practice of Ethics (ccxx, I:32).
|
|||
|
|
9. Let the Aspirant beware the slightest exercvise of
|
|||
|
|
his will against another being. Thus, lying is a better
|
|||
|
|
posture than sitting or standing, as it opposes less resistance
|
|||
|
|
to gravitation. Yet his first duty is to the force nearest
|
|||
|
|
and most potent; e.g. he may rise to greet a friend.
|
|||
|
|
This is the third practice of Ethics (ccxx, I:41).
|
|||
|
|
10. Let the Aspirant exercise his will without the least
|
|||
|
|
consideration for any other being. This direction cannot be
|
|||
|
|
understood, much less accomplished, until the previous
|
|||
|
|
practice has been perfected.
|
|||
|
|
This is the fourth practice of Ethics (ccxx, I:42,43,44).
|
|||
|
|
11. Let the Aspirant comprehend that these two practices
|
|||
|
|
are identical.
|
|||
|
|
This is the third practice of Intelligence (ccxx, I:45).
|
|||
|
|
12. Let the Aspirant live the Life Beautiful and Pleasant.
|
|||
|
|
For this freedom hath he won. But let each act, especially
|
|||
|
|
of love, be devoted wholly to his true mistress,
|
|||
|
|
Nuit.
|
|||
|
|
This is the fifth practice of Ethics (ccxx, I:51,52,61,63).
|
|||
|
|
13. Let the Aspirant yearn toward Nuit under the stars
|
|||
|
|
of Night, with a love directed by his Magical Will, not
|
|||
|
|
merely proceeding from the heart.
|
|||
|
|
This is the first practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:57).
|
|||
|
|
14. The Result of this Practice in the subsequent life
|
|||
|
|
of the Aspirant is to fill him with unimaginable joys: to
|
|||
|
|
give him certainty concerning the nature of the phenomenon
|
|||
|
|
called death, to give him peace unalterable, rest, and
|
|||
|
|
ecstasy.
|
|||
|
|
This is the second Indication of the Nature of the Result
|
|||
|
|
(ccxx, I:58).
|
|||
|
|
15. Let the Aspirant prepare a perfume of resinous
|
|||
|
|
woods and gums, according to his inspiration.
|
|||
|
|
This is the second practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:59).
|
|||
|
|
16. Let the Aspirant prepare a Pantacle, as follows.
|
|||
|
|
Inscribe a circle within a Pentagram, upon a ground
|
|||
|
|
square or of such other convenient shape as he may
|
|||
|
|
choose. Let the circle be of scarlet, the Pentagram black, the
|
|||
|
|
ground royal blue studded with golden stars.
|
|||
|
|
Within the circle, at its centre, shall be painted a sigil
|
|||
|
|
that shall be revealed to the Aspirant by Nuit herself.
|
|||
|
|
And this Pentacle shall serve for a Telesmantic Image, or
|
|||
|
|
as an Eidolon, or as a Focus for the mind.
|
|||
|
|
This is the third practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:60).
|
|||
|
|
17. Let the Aspirant find a lonely place, if possible a
|
|||
|
|
place in the Desert of Sand, or if not, a place unfrequented,
|
|||
|
|
and without objects to disturb the view. Such are moorlands,
|
|||
|
|
fens, the open sea, broad rivers, and open fields.
|
|||
|
|
Also, and especially, the summits of mountains.
|
|||
|
|
There let him invoke the Goddess as he hath Wisdom
|
|||
|
|
and Understanding so to do. But let this Invocation be
|
|||
|
|
that of a pure heart, i.e., a heart wholly devoted to Her,
|
|||
|
|
and let him remember that it is Hadit Himself in the most
|
|||
|
|
secret place thereof that invoketh. Then let this serpent
|
|||
|
|
Hadit burst into flame.
|
|||
|
|
This is the fourth practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:61).
|
|||
|
|
18. Then shall the Aspirant come a little to lie in Her
|
|||
|
|
bosom.
|
|||
|
|
This is the third Indication of the Nature of the Result
|
|||
|
|
(ccxx, I:61).
|
|||
|
|
19. Let the Aspirant stand upon the edge of a precipice
|
|||
|
|
in act or in imagination. And let him imagine and suffer
|
|||
|
|
the fear of falling.
|
|||
|
|
Next let him imagine with this aid that the Earth is
|
|||
|
|
falling, and he with it, or he from it; and considering the
|
|||
|
|
infinity of space, let him excite the fear within him to the
|
|||
|
|
point of ecstasy, so that the most dreadful dream of
|
|||
|
|
falling that he hath ever suffered be as nothing in comparison.
|
|||
|
|
This is the forth practice of Meditation (Instruction of
|
|||
|
|
V.V.V.V.V.).
|
|||
|
|
20. Thus having understood the nature of this Third
|
|||
|
|
Indication, let him in his Magick Rite fall from himself
|
|||
|
|
into Nuit, or expand into Her, as his imagination may
|
|||
|
|
compel him.
|
|||
|
|
And at that moment, desiring earnestly the Kiss of
|
|||
|
|
Nuit, let him give one particle of dust, i.e., let Hadit give
|
|||
|
|
himself up utterly to Her.
|
|||
|
|
This is the fifth practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:61).
|
|||
|
|
21. Then shall he lose all in that hour.
|
|||
|
|
This is the fourth Indication of the Nature of the Result.
|
|||
|
|
(ccxx, I:61).
|
|||
|
|
22. Let the Aspirant prepare a lovesong of rapture unto
|
|||
|
|
the Goddess, or let him be inspired by Her unto this.
|
|||
|
|
This is the sixth practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:63).
|
|||
|
|
23. Let the Aspirant be clad in a single robe. An
|
|||
|
|
"abbai" of scarlet wrought with gold is most suitable.
|
|||
|
|
This is the seventh practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:61).
|
|||
|
|
24. Let the Aspirant wear a rich head-dress. A crown
|
|||
|
|
of gold adorned with sapphires or diamonds with a royal
|
|||
|
|
blue cap of maintenance, or nemmes, is most suitable.
|
|||
|
|
This is the eighth practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:61).
|
|||
|
|
25. Let the Aspirant wear many jewels such as he may
|
|||
|
|
possess.
|
|||
|
|
This is the ninth practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:61).
|
|||
|
|
26. Let the Aspirant prepare an Elixir or libation as he
|
|||
|
|
may have wit to do.
|
|||
|
|
This is the tenth practice of Magick Art (ccxx, I:63).
|
|||
|
|
27. Let the Aspirant invoke, lying supine, his robe
|
|||
|
|
spread out as it were a carpet.
|
|||
|
|
This is the eleventh practice of Magick Art (Instruction
|
|||
|
|
of V.V.V.V.V.).

|||
