No bites yet?
For I am perfect, being Not;
Hadit is Nuit. They are two opposite and complimentary expressions of one thing, No-thing.
and my number is nine by the fools; but with the just I am eight,
These number puzzles are open to many different interpretations. There may well be a primary interpretation, but other interpretations are possible due to it's vague and open ended nature.
First off it mentions the "fools" and the "just". Aleph, Lamed ? Or are we to take them in there more straight forward sence?
The "fools" may mean the unborn. Those who are still unaware of their true nature. They only experience Hadit in his lowest manifestation, sexual energy, which corresponds to 9 - Yesod.
The "just" may be those who have made an inner
Adjustment. Where the normal man or woman merely "earths" their energy through sex, the "just" can redistribute this energy through their nervous system (8-Hod). In this sense they complete the circuit within themselves and adjust the 9 to 8.
It's interesting to note that the number 8 is a looped (divided) 0 and also the symbol of infinity. In chapter 1 the number 8 was one of Nuit's Nothing numbers (8 80 418)
9 is Teth - 419, and that number certainly has a connection to Hadit as the Serpent force, Kundalini. On the other hand 8 is Cheth - 418 - ABRA
HADABRA. The One, Had, within the 8.
and one in eight: Which is vital, for I am none indeed.
One in Eight? 414 - Ain Soph Aur
To me the word vital sticks out. Transliterated into Hebrew it is 56, the number of Nuit.
The Empress and the King are not of me; for there is a further secret.
A reference to the Tarot cards. The Empress
and the Emperor (King) are not symbolic of Hadit. But you'll have to wait until the next verse to find out who and why.
