Aleister Crowley - The Book Of Lies

ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΙΔ ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΙΔ ONION-PEELINGS Table of Contents The Universe is the Practical Joke of the General at the Expense of the Particular, quoth FRATER PERDURABO, and laughed. But those disciples nearest to him wept, seeing the Universal Sorrow. Those next to them laughed, seeing the Universal Joke. Below these certain disciples wept. Then certain laughed. Others next wept. Others next laughed. Next others wept. Next others laughed. Last came those that wept because they could not see the Joke, and those that laughed lest they should be thought not to see the Joke, and thought it safe to act like FRATER PERDURABO. But though FRATER PERDURABO laughed openly, He also at the same time wept secretly ; and in Himself He neither laughed nor wept. Nor did He mean what He said.

ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΙΕ ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΙΕ THE GUN-BARREL Table of Contents Mighty and erect is this Will of mine, this Pyramid of fire whose summit is lost in Heaven. Upon it have I burned the corpse of my desires. Mighty and erect is this Φαλλος of my Will. The seed thereof is That which I have borne within me from Eternity ; and it is lost within the Body of Our Lady of the Stars. I am not I ; I am but an hollow tube to bring down Fire from Heaven. Mighty and marvellous is this Weakness, this Heaven which draweth me into Her Womb, this Dome which hideth, which absorbeth, Me. This is The Night wherein I am lost, the Love through which I am no longer I.

ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΙΣ ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΙΣ THE STAG-BEETLE Table of Contents Death implies change and individuality if thou be THAT which hath no person, which is beyond the changing, even beyond changelessness, what hast thou to do with death? The bird of individuality is ecstasy ; so also is its death. In love the individuality is slain ; who loves not love? Love death therefore, and long eagerly for it. Die Daily.

ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΙΖ ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΙΖ THE SWAN 11 Table of Contents There is a Swan whose name is Ecstasy : it wingeth from the Deserts of the North ; it wingeth through the blue ; it wingeth over the fields of rice ; at its coming they push forth the green. In all the Universe this Swan alone is motionless ; it seems to move, as the Sun seems to move ; such is the weakness of our sight. O fool! criest thou? Amen. Motion is relative : there is Nothing that is still. Against this Swan I shot an arrow ; the white breast poured forth blood. Men smote me ; then, perceiving that I was but a Pure Fool, they let me pass. Thus and not otherwise I came to the Temple of the Graal.
