Behold! it is revealed by Aiwass the minister of Hoor-paar-kraat. 8. The Khabs is in the Khu, not the Khu in the Khabs. 9. Worship then the Khabs, and behold my light shed over you! 10.

Let my servants be few & secret: they shall rule the many & the known. 11. These are fools that men adore; both their Gods & their men are fools. 12. Come forth, o children, under the stars, & take your fill of love! 13. I am above you and in you. My ecstasy is in yours. My joy is to see your joy. 14. Above, the azure is The naked splendour of Nuit; She bends in ecstasy to kiss The secret ardours of Hadit. The globe, the starry blue, Are mine, O Ankh-af-na-khonsu! 15. Now ye shall know that the chosen priest & apostle of infinite space is the prince-priest the Beast; and in otroke pod svoje okrilje: prenesla bosta sij zvezd v srca ljudi. 16.

But to him is the winged secret flame, and to her the stooping starlight. 17. But ye are not so chosen. 18. Burn upon their brows, o splendrous serpent! 19. O azure-lidded woman, bend upon them! 20. The key of the rituals is in the secret word which I have given unto him. I-4 21. onadva me ne vidita. Sta kot na zemlji; Jaz sem Nebesni svod in ni drugega boga razen mene in mojega gospoda Hadita. 22. Tako sem vam poznana po svojem imenu Nuit in njemu po skrivnem imenu, ki mu ga bom izdala, ko m spoznal. Zvezd v njem, tudi vi storite tako. Ne zavezujte se med neko stvarjo in katerokoli *** ***** *** 21. With the God & the Adorer I am nothing: they do not see me. They are as upon the earth; I am Heaven, and there is no other God than me, and my lord Hadit. 22. Now, therefore, I am known to ye by my name Nuit, and to him by a secret name which I will give him when at last he knoweth me. Since I am Infinite Space, and the Infinite Stars thereof, do ye also thus. Bind nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing & any drugo stv 23.

But whoso availeth in this, let him be the chief of all! 24. I am Nuit, and my word is six and fifty. 25. Divide, add, multiply, and understand. 26. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one: Who am I, and what shall be the sign? So she answered him, bending down, a lambent flame of blue, all-touching, all penetrant, her lovely hands upon the black earth, & her lithe body arched for love, and her soft feet not hurting the bo moja ekstaza, zavest o neprekinjenosti bivanja, vseprisotnost mojega telesa. 27. in rosa njene svetlobe je okopala vso njegovo O Nuit, neprekinjena z Nebes, naj *** ***** *** little flowers: Thou knowest! And the sign shall be my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continuity of existence, the omnipresence of my body. 27. Then the priest answered & said unto the Queen of Space, kissing her lovely brows, and the dew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat: O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it bo vedno tako; da ljudje ne govore o sploh ne govore o tebi, kajti ti si neprekinjena! 28. Nobena zvezd, in dva. 29. Kajti jaz sem razdvojena zavoljo ljubezni, za 30. To je stvarjenje sveta, da je radost stopitve vse. 31. *** ***** *** be ever thus; that men speak not of Thee as One but as None; and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous! 28. None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of the stars, and two. 29. 30. This is the creation of the world, that the pain of division is as nothing, and the joy of dissolution all. 31. For these fools of men and their radostmi; toda vi ste moji izbranci. 32. Ubogajte mojega preroka! opravite preizkuse mojega znanja! samo mene to: prisegam pri svodu svojega telesa; pri svojem svetem srcu in jeziku; vas vseh. 33. *** ***** *** woes care not thou at all! They feel little; what is, is balanced by weak joys; but ye are my chosen ones. 32. Obey my prophet! follow out the ordeals of my knowledge! seek me only! Then the joys of my love will redeem ye from all pain. This is so: I swear it by the vault of my body; by my sacred heart and tongue; by all I can give, by all I desire of ye all. 33. Then the priest fell into a deep trance or omedlevico in nagovoril Kraljico Nebes; 34. rituali naj bodo pol znani in pol zakriti: Zakon je za vse. 35. knjiga Zakona. 36. Moj pisar Ankh-af-na-khonsu, z modrostjo Ra-Hoor-Khuita. *** ***** *** swoon, & said unto the Queen of Heaven; Write unto us the ordeals; write unto us the rituals; write unto us the law! 34. But she said: the ordeals I write not: the rituals shall be half known and half concealed: the Law is for all. 35. This that thou writest is the threefold book of Law. 36. My scribe Ankh-af-na-khonsu, the priest of the princes, shall not in one letter change this book; but lest there be folly, he shall comment thereupon by the wisdom of Ra-Hoor-Khu-it. 37. Tudi mantre in uroke; obeah in wanga; delo palice in delo 38. 39. Beseda Zakona je . 40. Kdor nas imenuje Telemiti, ni v besedo. V njej so namre *** ***** *** 37. Also the mantras and spells; the obeah and the wanga; the work of the wand and the work of the sword; these he shall learn and teach. 38. He must teach; but he may make severe the ordeals. 39. 40. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt in to naj ti bo ves Zakon. 41. Greh ljubezni: vse ostalo je prekletstvo. Prekleto! Prekleto bodi na eone! Pekel. 42. 43. Delaj to in ni 44. *** ***** *** shall be the whole of the Law. 41. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the divided but ! Hell. 42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will. 43. Do that, and no other shall say nay. 44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, osvobojeno sle po rezultatu, je vsaka pot popolna. 45. Popolno in Popolno sta eno Popolno in ne dvoje; ne, nobeno sta! 46. 47. 48. Moj prerok je norec s svojim ena, ena, ena: mar n po Knjigi? *** ***** *** delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. 45. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfect and not two; nay, are none! 46. Nothing is a secret key of this law. Sixty-one the Jews call it; I call it eight, eighty, four hundred & eighteen. 47. But they have the half: unite by thine art so that all disappear. 48. My prophet is a fool with his one, one, one; are not they the Ox, and none by the Book? I-13 49. besede in znamenja. Ra-Hoor-Khuit je zasedel svoj prestol na Vzhodu ob Enakono Bogov; in naj Asar bo z Iso, ki sta tudi eno. Toda onadva nista Trpin; Hoor v svojem skrivnem imenu in sijaju je Gospod iniciator. 50. Potrebna je beseda o Hierofantovi nalogi. Poglej! obstajajo tri preizku Grobi morajo iti skozi ogenj; naj se *** ***** *** 49. Abrogate are all rituals, all ordeals, all words and signs. Ra-Hoor-Khuit hath taken his seat in the East at the Equinox of the Gods; and let Asar be with Isa, who also are one. But they are not of me Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating. 50. There is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Behold! there are three ordeals in one, and it may be given in three ways. The gross must pass through fire; let the prefinjeni preizkusijo v intelektu in imate zvezdo in zvezdo, sistem in sistem; naj eden ne pozna dobro drugega! 51. zlata; lapis lazuli in jaspis sta tu; in emblemi smrti. Naj vstopi izmenoma i *** ***** *** fine be tried in intellect, and the lofty chosen ones in the highest. Thus ye have star & star, system & system; let not one know well the other! 51. There are four gates to one palace; the floor of that palace is of silver and gold; lapis lazuli & jasper are there; and all rare scents; jasmine & rose, and the emblems of death. Let him enter in turn or at once the four gates; let him stand on the floor of the palace. Will he not sink? Amn. Ho! warrior, if thy servant sink? But there are means in sredstva. Bodite dobrohotni pijte sladka vina ter vina, ki se penijo! Prav tako vzemite napoj in pobudo ljubezni, kakor vas je volja, kadar, kjer in s komer vas je volja! Toda vedno do mene. 52. ves ; 53.

Also, take your fill and will of love as ye will, when, where and with whom ye will! But always unto me. 52. If this be not aright; if ye confound the space-marks, saying: They are one; or saying, They are many; if the ritual be not ever unto me: then expect the direful judgments of Ra Hoor Khuit! 53. This shall regenerate the world, the little svet mojo sestro, moje srce in moj jezik, princev, radost zemlje: vedno K meni! K meni! 54. Ne spreminjaj niti stila skritih tu notri. 55. opazil. 56. *** ***** *** world my sister, my heart & my tongue, unto whom I send this kiss. Also, o scribe and prophet, though thou be of the princes it shall not assuage thee nor absolve thee. But ecstasy be thine and joy of earth: ever To me! To me! 54. Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein. 55. The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them. 56. Expect him not from the East, nor from zaho ne prihaja ta otrok. Aum! Vse besede so jasni v temi. 57. zakon, ljubezen pod voljo. In ne dopusti bedakom Izberite dobro! On, moj prerok, je *** ***** *** the West, for from no expected house cometh that child. Aum! All words are sacred and all prophets true; save only that they understand a little; solve the first half of the equation, leave the second unattacked. But thou hast all in the clear light, and some though not all in the dark. 57. Invoke me under my stars. Love is the law, love under will. Nor let the fools mistake love; for there are love and love. There is the dove and there is the serpent. Choose ye well! He, my prophet, hath v redu; toda ni Zvezda. To je tudi skrivnost: moj prerok jo bo razkril modrim. 58. Jaz dajem nepojmljive radosti na zemlji: gotovost, 59.

All these old letters of my Book are aright; but is not the Star. This also is secret: my prophet shall reveal it to the wise. 58. I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice. 59. My incense is of resinous woods & gums; and there is no blood therein: because of my hair the trees of Eternity. 60. Krogom v Sredini, in ta krog je slepe, toda modra in zlata sta vidni tistim, ki vidijo. Prav tako imam skrivno slavo za tiste, ki me ljubijo. 61. pred menoj, *** ***** *** 60.

My colour is black to the blind, but the blue & gold are seen of the seeing. Also I have a secret glory for them that love me. 61. But to love me is better than all things: if under the night-stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom. For one kiss wilt thou then be willing to give all; bo izgubil vse v tej uri. Zberite nosite bogate dragulje; prekosite narode zemlje v sijaju in ponosu; toda vedno v ljubezni do mene, t z bogatim naglavnim pokrivalom. Ljubim te! Hrepenim po tebi!

I charge you earnestly to come before me in a single robe, and covered with a rich headdress. I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, zvit sijaj v sebi: pridi k meni! 62. le Izzivaje plamen v srcu vseh s svojim napevom ljubezni. 63.

In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found. 4. Yet she shall be known & I never. 5. Behold! the rituals of the old time are black. Let the evil ones be cast away; let the good ones be purged by the prophet! Then shall this Knowledge go aright. 6. I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star. I am znanje o meni znanje o smrti. 7. gre. 8.

Remember all ye that existence is pure joy; that all the sorrows are but as shadows; they pass & are done; but there is that which remains. 10. O prophet! thou hast ill will to learn this writing. 11. I see thee hate the hand & the pen: but I am 12.

For I am perfect, being Not; and my number is nine by the fools; but with the just I am eight, and one in eight: Which is vital, for I am none indeed. The Empress and the King are not of me; for there is a further secret. 16. I am The Empress & the Hierophant. Thus eleven, as my bride is eleven. 17.

We are not for the poor and sad: the lords of the earth are our kinsfolk. 19. Is a God to live in a dog? No! but the highest are of us. They shall rejoice, our chosen: who sorroweth is not of us. 20. Beauty and strength, leaping laughter and delicious languor, force and fire, are of us. 21. naj umrejo v svoji bedi. Kajti oni ne radost sveta. Ne zmeni se, o kralj, za tole -Hoor- *** ***** *** 21. We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them die in their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp down the wretched & the weak: this is the law of the strong: this is our law and the joy of the world. Think not, o king, upon that lie: That Thou Must Die: verily thou shalt not die, but live. Now let it be understood: If the body of the King dissolve, he shall remain in pure ecstasy for ever. Nuit! Hadit! Ra-Hoor-Khuit! The Sun, Strength & Sight, Light; these are for the servants of the Star & the Snake. 22. zemite vino preroku, in se opijte z njimi!

Be strong, o man! lust, enjoy all things of sense and rapture: fear not that any God shall deny thee for this. 23. I am alone: there is no God where I am. 24. Behold! these be grave mysteries; for there are also of my friends who be hermits.

Therefore the kings of the earth shall be Kings for ever: the slaves shall serve. There is none that shall be cast down or lifted up: all is ever kakor je bilo.

Then said the prophet unto the God: 37. I adore thee in the song: I am the Lord of Thebes, and I The inspired forth-speaker of Mentu; The self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu Whose words are truth. I invoke, I greet Thy presence, O Ra-Hoor-Khuit! Unity uttermost showed! I adore the might of Thy breath, Supreme and terrible God, Who makest the gods and death To tremble before Thee I, I adore thee! Appear on the throne of Ra! Open the ways of the Khu! Lighten the ways of the Ka! The ways of the Khabs run through To stir me or still me! Aum! let it kill me! 38. So that thy light is in me; & its red flame is as a sword in my hand to push thy order. There is a secret door that I shall make to establish thy way in all the quarters, (these are the adorations, as thou hast written), as it is said: The light is mine; its rays consume Me: I have made a secret door Into the House of Ra and Tum, Of Khephra and of Ahathoor.

Ta knjiga je bila narekovana v Kairu, med poldnevom in prvo uro popoldneva, v treh zaporednih dneh, 8., 9. in 10. aprila leta 1904 e. v. Avtor,ki se je poimenoval Aiwass, seje predstavilkot »poslanec Hoor-paar-kraata«; toje poslanec sil, ki trenutno vladajo na Zemlji, kakor bo razloženo kasneje. Kako je lahko dokazal, da je resnicno bitje, nadrejeno katerikolicloveški rasi, in tako upravicen govoriti s stališca avtoritete? Ocitno je moral pokazati ZNANJE inSPOSOBNOST, kakršnih še noben clovek ni posedoval. 2. ZNANJE je pokazal predvsem zuporabo šifer ali kriptograma vdolocenih delih, da bi izpostavil težko doumljiva dejstva, vkljucno z nekaterimi dogodki,ki sosemorali šele dogoditi in ki jih nobeno cloveško bitje ni moglo predvideti; tako obstaja dokaz njegove trditve v rokopisu samem, neodvisno od katerekoli cloveške price. Študij te snovi za njeno pravilno interpretacijo obvezno zahteva najizvrstnejšo izobrazbo cloveka, skupaj zdolgoletnim temeljitim preizkušanjem v praksi. Mnogo je treba še odkriti. A dovoljje že odkritega, da upravici njegovo trditev; najbolj skepticni duhovi so tako prisiljenipriznati njeno resnicnost. To snov je najbolje študiratipod vodstvom Mojstra Theriona, ki jepo letih vztrajnega raziskovanja prispel do razsvetljenja. Po drugi strani pa je jezik vecjega dela knjige cudovito preprost, jasen in neposreden. Nihce ga ne more brati, ne da bi bil ob tem prizadet v srž svojega bitja. 3. Aiwassova nadcloveška MOC je vidna v vplivu njegovega Gospodarja in knjige na aktualne dogodke; in zgodovina docela podpira njegovo trditev. O tehdejstvihlahko vsakdo presodi sam, aso razumljivejša s pomocjoMojstra Theriona. 4. Popolno in natancno porocilo o okolišcinah, ki sopripeljale do nareka te knjige, vkljucno z reprodukcijo faksimila Rokopisa ter esejem Mojstra Theriona, je objavljeno vknjigi Enakonocje Bogov. II UNIVERZUM Ta knjiga razloži Univerzum. Prvini sta Nuit -Vesolje, kije celovitost možnosti vseh vrst -in Hadit, katerakoli tocka z izkustvom teh možnosti. (To idejo za enostavnejši literarni prikaz simbolizirata egipcanska boginja Nuit kot ženska, ki se sklanja kot Obok Nocnega Neba, in Hadit kot Krilata Obla v srcu Nuit.) Vsak dogodek je združitev neke monade z eno od zanjo možnih izkušenj. »Vsak moški in vsaka ženska je zvezda«, to je skupek takšnihizkušenj, neprestano spreminjajocih sezvsakim novim dogodkom, ki nanj ali nanjo zavedno ali nezavedno vpliva. Vsakdo izmed nas tako poseduje svoj univerzum, toda to je isti univerzum za vsakogar, kakor hitro vsebuje vsa možna izkustva. To pomeni razširitev zavesti,tako da vkljucuje vse druge zavesti. Na naši sedanji stopnjipredmet, ki ga vidiš, ni isti, kakor tisti,kiga vidim jaz. Sklepava, da je isti,ker se tvoje izkustvo sklada z mojim v tako številnih tockah, da sorazlike v najinem opažanju prakticno zanemarljive. Cena primer med nama hodi prijatelj, tividiš le njegovo levo stran in jaz desno; toda strinjava se, da gre za istega cloveka, ceprav imava onjem razlicna mnenja, ne le glede njegovega telesa, temvec tudi glede njegovih vrlin, kolikor jihpoznava. To prepricanje oistovetnosti postaja mocnejše, cim veckrat ga vidiva incim bolje ga spoznava. Vendar nikoli ne moreva vedeti onjem nicesar onstran celotnega vtisa, ki ga je naredil na naju. Zgornje je skrajno grobposkus razlage sistema, ki prinašaspravo med vsemi obstojecimi filozofskimi šolami. III ZAKON TELEME1 Ta knjiga je preprost zakonik vedenja. »Delaj po svoji volji, to naj bo ves Zakon.« »Ljubezen je zakon, ljubezen pod voljo.« »Ni zakona iznad Delaj po svoji volji.« Topomeni,da semora vsakdo izmed nas, zvezd, gibatipo svojipravi orbiti,kije opredeljena z naravo našega položaja, zzakonom naše rasti in vplivom našihpreteklih izkušenj. Zakon dopušca vse dogodke enako -in v teoriji so, dolgorocno gledano, tudi vsi nujni za vse nas -toda v praksije za vsakogar izmed nas zakonito le po eno dejanje v vsakem danem trenutku. Potemtakem je bistvo dolžnosti dolocitev, da izkusimo ta pravi dogodek od enega trenutka zavesti do drugega. Vsaka aktivnost ali gibanje je dejanje ljubezni, združitev zenim alidrugim delom Nuit; vsako tako dejanje mora biti »pod voljo« ter tako izbrano da izpolnjuje in ne ovira narave bitja, na katerega se nanaša. O tehnikahdoseganja tega se lahko poduci v knjigi Magika, ali pa osebno pri MojstruTherionu in pri njegovih za to dolocenih asistentih. 1 T....., kar v gršcini pomeni volja, ima enako številcno vrednost kot AG..., kar je grška beseda za ljubezen. IV NOVI ĆON Tretje poglavje knjige je težko razumljivo in bo odvrnilo marsikoga, ki je bil rojen pred datumom njenega nastanka (aprila 1904 e.v.). Govori nam o znacilnostih Dobe, v katero smo vstopili. Površno gledano, sezdijo zastrašujoce. Nekatere od njih so že zdaj grozljivo jasne. A brez strahu! Razloži nam tudi, da so lahko dolocene ogromne »zvezde« (ali skupki izkušenj) opisane kot bogovi.Eden od njih je odgovoren za usodo tega planeta v obdobju 2000 let.2 V zgodovini sveta, kolikor natancno jo pac lahko poznamo, obstajajo trije takšni bogovi:Izida, mati, ko je bil Univerzum razumljen kot preprosto hranjenje,kije izviralo neposredno od nje; za toobdobje je znacilna matriarhalna ureditev. Naslednji se je zacel okoli500pr. n. št. -Oziris, oce, ko je bilUniverzum zamišljen kot katastrofalen, sosledje ljubezen-smrt-preporod pa je predstavljalo izhodišce vsega izkustva; to odgovarja patriarhalnidobi. In sedaj Horus, otrok, v katerem pojave zaznavamo kot neprekinjeno rast, v kateri sta v svojihprvinah soudeležena oba nacina inje okolišcine ne morejopremagati. Zdajšnje obdobje prinaša tudi spoznanje, da je osnovna enota družbe vsak posameznik. V svetu se udejanjamo tako, kakor je bilo razloženo vprvih odstavkih tega eseja. Vsak dogodek, vkljucno s smrtjo, je le dodatek našemu izkustvu, od vsega zacetka predmet naše svobodne volje in zato tudi predviden. Ta »bog«, Horus, imatehnicni naziv: Heru-Ra-Ha, kar je kombinacija imen bogov dvojckov Ra-Hoor-Khuita in Hoor-Paar-Kraata. Pomen te doktrine je treba preuciti v 'Magiki' (Simbolno je predstavljen kot Sokoljeglavi ustoliceni bog.) On vlada zdajšnjemu obdobju2000 let, od leta1904 naprej.Povsod je že zaznati njegovo vladanje. Sami pri sebi opazujte izginevanje obcutka krivde, narašcanje nedolžnosti in neodgovornosti,cudne modifikacije reproduktivnega instinkta s tendenco, da postane biseksualen ali hermafroditski, otrocje zaupanje v napredek v kombinaciji s paranoicnim strahom predkatastrofo, protikateri kljub strahu skoraj raje ne bi storili nic. Razmislite o vznikanju diktatorstev, ki se pojavijo le tedaj, ko je moralno zorenje v svoji zgodnji fazi; nato prevladovanje infantilnih kultov, kot so komunizem, fašizem, pacifizem, manije zdravja, okultizma v skoraj vseh svojih oblikah, religij, sentimentaliziranih prakticno do lastnega izginotja. Razmislite nadalje o popularnostifilma, brezžicnih komunikacij, nogometnih združenj in kvizov, samih izumov za pomirjanje živcnih otrok, brez pravega smisla. Razmislite o športu; otroškem entuziazmu in manijah, ki jih vzbuja; ves narod se vznemirja zaradi prerekanja med decki. Razmislite o vojnah, krutostih, ki se dogajajo vsak dan in nas pustijo hladne in skoraj brez skrbi. Otroci smo. Na nas je, da dolocimo, kako sebo ta novi Aeon Horusa razvil, kako bo otrok zrasel, razvijajoc sevskladu z zakonom Teleme pod razsvetljenim vodstvom Mojstra Theriona. 2 Trenutek spremembe iz enega obdobja v drugo se formalno gledano tehnicno imenuje Enakonocje Bogov. V NASLEDNJI KORAK Demokracija se opoteka. Kruti fašizem, gagajoci komunizem,enaki goljufiji, poskakujeta po planetu kot dva blazneža. Cisto sta nas prevzela. To sta splavljena otroka novega Aeona Horusa. Svoboda se znova premika v maternici Casa. Revolucija izvaja svoje spremembe na antisocialisticne nacine. »Nenormalnega« cloveka, kipredvidi tendenco casa in si bistroumno prilagaja okolišcine, krdelopogosto zasmehuje, preganja ali unici.Toda, ko nastopi kriza, so on innjegovidedicitisti, ki preživijo. Nad nami danes visi nevarnost, ki ji v zgodovini do sedaj ni bilo enake. Posameznik je zatiran na vse vec nacinov. Pri razmišljanju nas žene credni nagon. Vojna nic vec ne ubija vojakov, temvec vse brez razlike. Vsak novi ukrep tudi najboljdemokratskih ali aristokratskih vlad, je v bistvu komunisticen. Vedno gre za omejitev. Z vsemi nami ravnajo, kot da smo imbecilni oz. brezumni otroci. Trgovski predpisi, prometni predpisi, nedeljske zadušitve, cenzura -nocejo nam zaupati, da bipreckali cesto po volji. Fašizem je kot komunizem, lažniv in še nepošten povrhu. Diktatorji zatirajo vsako umetnost, literaturo, teater, glasbo, informiranje, ki ne zadovoljujejo njihovih zahtev; pa vendar se svet razvija zgolj zlucjo genija. Creda bo doživela masovno unicenje. Ustanovitev zakona Teleme je edini nacin, da seohrani svoboda posameznika in zagotovi prihodnost rase. Ali z besedami slavnega paradoksa grofa de Fenixa: absolutna vladavina države mora biti funkcija absolutne svobode vsake posamezne volje. Vsi moški in ženske sovabljeni k sodelovanju zMojstrom Therionom pri tem Velikem Delu. O.
