- 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.).
