ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΛΑ The Garotte in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“IT moves from motion into rest, and rests from rest into motion. These IT does alway, for time is not. So that IT does neither of these things. IT does THAT one thing which we must express by two things neither of which possesses any rational meaning.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “Love Alway Yieldeth: Love Alway Hardeneth. . . . . . . . . . . May be: I write it but to write Her name.”
  2. “Both ’23’ and ‘Skidoo’ are American words meaning ‘Get out’. This chapter describes the Great Work under the figure of a man ridding himself of all his accidents.”
  3. “For the meaning of the word hriliu consult Liber 418.”
  4. “Is it not so?… No?… Then thou art not lost in love; speak not of love.”
  5. “Give Ear, give Ear attentively; the Will is not lost; though it be buried beneath a life-old Midden of Repressions, for it persisteth vital within thee (is it not the true Motion of thine inmost Being?) and for all thy conscious Striving cometh forth by Night and by Stealth in Dream and Phantasy.”
