Sub Figvra XI
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.).
