Commentary (ΛΑ) on The Garotte in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“As soon as the reason is vanquished, the garotte is removed; then the influence of the supernals (Kether, Chokmah, Binah), no longer inhibited by Daath, can descend upon Tiphareth, where the human will is situated, and flood it with the ineffable light.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “The word ‘turbulence’ is applied to the Ego to suggest the French ‘tourbillion’, whirlwind, the false Ego or dust-devil. True life, the life, which has no consciousness of ‘I’, is said to be choked by this false ego, or rather by the thoughts which its explosions produce. In paragraph 4 this is expanded to a macrocosmic plane.”
  2. “IT is apparently a more exalted thing than THAT.”
  3. “Strain forth thine Intelligence, O man, O worthy one, O chosen of IT, to apprehend the discourse of THE MASTER; for thus thy reason shall at last break down, as the fetter is struck from a slave’s throat.”
  4. “One True God crieth hriliu! And the laughter of the Death-rattle is akin”
  5. “T, manhood, the sign of the cross or phallus. UT, the Holy Guardian Angel; UT, the first syllable of Udgita, see the Upanishads. O, Nothing or Nuit.”
