Fragments of the Lost Doctrines of Indl Neht


Concerning Anu and Padhome. They are above The Wheel, and contain all contradiction in themselves. Below them is a seeming duality of Chaos and Order; these are called Father and Mother, but it is not so. They are called Brother and Sister, but it is not so. They are called Husband and Wife, but it is not so.

The reflection of All-is-Naught is AE. Cast down through The Wheel is the Tower, the rapture of Love that destroys. All that is, what is it but a manifestation, that is, a part, that is, a falsehood, of that which is not? Yet that which is not neither is nor is not that which is! Identity is perfect; therefore the law of identity is but a lie. In this utterance of falsehood upon falsehood, whose contradictions are also false, it seems as if that which I uttered were not true.


The Perfect and the [IM]Perfect are one, IS and IS NOT are one; nay, are none! Learn then that all phenomena are the result of Chaos, even as the Aurbis itself is a nothing expressed as the merging of two inequalities, or as the struggle of Anu and Padhome. As all happenings have two causes, one predisposing, external and exciting, the other conservative, static, and disposing; so it is with dreams, which are two-sided, or unbalanced states of consciousness, diviner of dreams as beliefs are of reality.


So let the Adept be armed with knowledge.
Then let him advance to the East, and make the
billet-work, saying:

GHARTOK PADHOME AE GHARTOK SITHISIT CE ALTADOON

Let him go round to the South, make the
billet-work, saying:

GHARTOK VELOTHI AE GHARTOK DUNMERI CE ALTADOON

Let him go round to the West, make the
billet-work, saying:

GHARTOK LHKAN AE GHARTOK NIRN CE ALTADOON

Let him go round to the North, make the
billet-work, saying:

[NUMINIT]

Let him then return to the hub, and so to the
centre of All [making the billet-work as he
may know how] saying:

GHARTOK PADHOME AE GHARTOK PADHOME [CHIM] AE ALTADOON

In this the signs shall be those of incalculable effort

Also shall a sword appear in the circle.

Let him then repeat the signs of royalty but not the
signs of ego; for it is not he that shall arise in
the sign of LHKAN rejoicing.
