ΚΕΦΑΛΗ Ι
WINDLESTRAWS
The Abyss of Hallucinations has Law and Reason; but in Truth there is no bond between the Toys of the Gods.
This Reason and Law is the Bond of the Great Lie.
Truth! Truth! Truth! crieth the Lord of the Abyss of Hallucinations.
There is no silence in that Abyss: for all that men call Silence is Its Speech.
This Abyss is also called “Hell”, and “The Many”. Its name is “Consciousness”, and “The Universe”, among men.
But THAT which neither is silent, nor speaks, rejoices therein.
— ΚΕΦΑΛΗ Ι, Windlestraws, Chapter 10, Book of Lies, Liber CCCXXXIII
“It is the mark of a mind untrained to take its own processes as valid for all men, and its own judgments for absolute truth.”
—Aleister Crowley, New Comment on Chapter II.32 in Liber Legis, The Book of the Law
