[Zeroeth_Nature (Self-Lightening, ΑΘΕΛΗΜΑ,)]

@Zeroeth Nature

Binah: love of comprehending delusion—which is not just the delusion of goods and bads, but at bottom the delusion of selfhood—;
Chokmah: will to create delusion.

[…]

A grade cannot be separated from the tasks required for passing that grade (and only the grade of Ipsissimus does not have such tasks).

From this it would follow that the Ipsissimus does not love and therefore does not will. As I wrote elsewhere on this site:

@Zeroeth Nature

Love, eros, attraction to what appears higher creates a distance between the lover and his environment, making him appear higher to it and thereby willing power over it, exerting attraction on it; love and will are simply the attractive and the repellent force, respectively:

“Physicists cannot eradicate ‘action at a distance’ from their principles; nor can they eradicate a repellent force (or an attracting one).” (Will to Power nr. 619, Kaufmann ed.)

Note the brackets! Nietzsche of course chose to focus on will, not love, but he originally called the will to power not will to power, but Habsucht, literally “having-sickness, addiction to having”, which he identified as the essence of masculine love.

But if Chokmah/the Magus is second (only) to Kether/the Ipsissimus, and it/he does will, then that must mean it/he loves Kether/the Ipsissimus. And if what it/he wills by loving is the creation of delusion, what it/he loves is surely the reality of existence… For it’s only in contrast that anything comes into its own (even contrast itself).

“It is the figure of the Magus of the Taro¹⁸; […]
18. Atu I. This is Mayan, the Great Magician, he who has created the Dyad ({HEB:Bet} = 2) and thus made possible the conception of Opposition, and hence of ‘Evil’. He is to be distinguished from Chokma, the creative Mercury who transmits the Essence of Kether as a Logos, that Kether may become intelligible to Himself through Binah. This lower Mercury asserts the Dyad as Reality, and denies alike Kether and the Ain. Hence its issue is in Materialism.” (Crowley, Liber 418, the 3rd Aethyr.)

The lower Mercury pertains to Hod… If you turn the Tree upside down, Hod becomes Chokmah, and what becomes Kether is both Yesod and Malkuth—“Kether” and “the Ain”, respectively…¹ Thir true nature is denied, because the reality of thir dyadicity is asserted… Kether is contrast, and the Ain the lack thereof; and contrast only comes into its own in contrast with a lack of contrast… This is a paradox, and Kether and the Ain both do and do not contrast with one another. Chokmah transmits the essence of Kether—contrast—as a logos, thoroughly in the Heraclitean sense.

@Self-Lightening

[I]sn’t it ironic that Crowley, while kriticizing the notion of “the Dyad as Reality”, distinguishes between two Mercuries, two Magi, two Magicians? Isn’t it right to “deny alike Kether and the Ain” if that means denying the distinction between them, and thereby their separate reality? As for materialism, on January 12 of this year I wrote:

“[T]he fact ‘that I believe only in the material world does not mean that I believe only in matter. That is to say, I believe matter in turn consists of radiation or vacuum: matter is a “collapsed wave function” or a “quantum excitation of a field”, etc.’[”]

“By a Magus is this writing made known through the mind of a Magister. The one uttereth clearly, and the other understandeth; yet the Word is falsehood, and the Understanding darkness. And this saying is Of All Truth.” (Crowley, Liber B vel Magi sub figura I.)

Space is dark and literally com-prehends. Light is clear, yet shiny, show-y, seeming/-ly. The word is false like a photon, a pharticle, a point of phew.
