000 . This is the Book of the Cult of the Infinite Within.

00 . The Aspirant is Nuit. Nuit is the infinite expansion of the

Rose; Hadit the infinite contraction of the Rood. ( Instruction of

V.V.V.V.V. )

0 . First let the Aspirant learn in his heart the Second Chapter

of the Book of the Law. ( Instruction of V.V.V.V.V. )

1 . Worship, i.e. , identify thyself with, Nuit, as a lambent

flame of blue, all-touching, all-penetrant, her lovely hands upon

the black earth, and her lithe body arched for love, and her soft

feet not hurting the little flowers, even as She is imaged in the

Stl of Revealing.

This is the first practice of Meditation ( ccxx. I . 26 ).

2 . Let him further identify himself with the heart of Nuit,

whose ecstasy is that of her children, and her joy to see their joy,

who sayeth I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or

voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and drunkenness of

the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse the

coiled splendour within you: come unto me! . . . Sing the

rapturous love-song unto me! Burn to me perfumes! Wear to me

jewels! Drink to me, for I love you! I love you! I am the blue-

lidded daughter of Sunset; I am the naked brilliance of the

voluptuous night-sky. To me! To me!

This continues the first practice of Meditation 1 ( ccxx. I. 13 , 61 ,

63 , 64 , 65 ).

1 [In Equinox printing, Ðthe second practice of Meditation,Ñ but section 10 was also said

to be the second practice, 12 the third practice, 16 the fourth practice and 25 the fifth

practice. Combining 1 and 2 into the Ðfirst practiceÑ matches the numbering in section

28 . Ï T.S.]

3 . Let the Aspirant apply himself to comprehend Hadit as an

unextended point clothed with a Light ineffable. And let him

beware lest he be dazzled by that Light.

This is the first practice of Intelligence ( ccxx . II. 2 ).

4 . Let the Aspirant apply himself to comprehend Hadit as the

ubiquitous centre of every sphere conceivable.

This is the second practice of Intelligence ( ccxx . II. 3 ).

5 . Let the Aspirant apply himself to comprehend Hadit as the

soul of every man, and of every star, conjoining this in his

Understanding with the Word ( ccxx. I. 2 ). ÐEvery man and every

woman is a star.Ñ Let this conception be that of Life, the giver of

Life, and let him perceive that therefore the knowledge of Hadit is

the knowledge of death.

This is the third practice of Intelligence ( ccxx . II. 6 ).

6 . Let the Aspirant apply himself to comprehend Hadit as the

Magician or maker of Illusion, and the Exorcist of destroyer of

Illusion, under the figure of the axle of the Wheel, and the cube in

the circle. Also as the Universal Soul of Motion.

(This conception harmonises Thoth and Harpocrates in a

very complete and miraculous manner. Thoth is both the Magus

of Tarot (see Lib. 418 ) and the Universal Mercury; Harpocrates

both the destroyer of Typhon and the Babe in the Lotus. Note that

the ÐIbis positionÑ formulates this conception most exactly. E D .)

This is the fourth practice of Intelligence ( ccxx . II. 7 ).

7 . Let the Aspirant apply himself to comprehend Hadit as the

perfect, that is Not, and solve the mystery of the numbers of Hadit

and his components by his right Ingenium.

This is the fifth practice of Intelligence ( ccxx . II. 15 , 16 ).

8 . Let the Aspirant, bearing him as a great King, root out and

destroy without pity all things in himself and his surroundings

which are weak, dirty, or diseased, or otherwise unworthy. And

let him be exceeding proud and joyous.

This is the first practice of Ethics ( ccxx . II. 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 ).

9 . Let the Aspirant apply himself to comprehend Hadit as the

Snake that giveth Knowledge and Delight and bright glory, who

stirreth the hearts of men with drunkenness. This snake is blue

and gold; its eyes are red, and its spangles green and ultra-violet.

(That is, as the most exalted form of the Serpent Kundalini.)

This is the sixth practice of Intelligence ( ccxx . II. 22 , 50 , 51 )

10 . Let him further identify himself with this Snake.

This is the second practice of Meditation ( ccxx. II. 22).

11 . Let the Aspirant take wine and strange drugs, according

to his knowledge and experience, and be drunk thereof.

(The Aspirant should be in so sensitive a condition that a

single drop, perhaps even the smell, should suffice. E D .)

This is the first practice of Magick Art ( ccxx. II. 22).

12 . Let the Aspirant concentrate his consciousness in the

Rood Cross set up upon the Mountain, and identify himself with

It. Let him be well aware of the difference between Its own soul,

and that thought which it habitually awakens in his own mind.

This is the third practice of Meditation, and as it will be

found, a comprehension and harmony and absorption of the

practices of Intelligence ( ccxx. II. 22 ).

13 . Let the Aspirant apply himself to comprehend Hadit as

the Unity which is the Negative. (Ain Elohim. E D )

This is the seventh practice of Intelligence ( ccxx. II. 23).

14 . Let the Aspirant live the life of a strong and beautiful

being, proud and exalted, contemptuous of and fierce toward all

that is base and vile.

This is the second practice of Ethics ( ccxx. II. 24 , 25 , 45-49 ,

52 , 56-60 ).

15 . Let the Aspirant apply himself to comprehend Hadit

according to this 26 th verse of the Second Chapter of the Book of

the Law. And this shall be easy for him if he have well

accomplished the Third Practice of Meditation.

This is the eighth practice of Intelligence ( ccxx. II. 26 ).
