The Book of The Law Study Group 3.20
Aeon418
Verse 20 - Resh - Atu XIX The Sun.
This is verse 165 in the book as a whole. 165 is NEMO, the Master of the Temple. One who has passed beyond Da'ath to Binah.
165 + Resh(200) = 365. Abrasax, the divine androgyne symbolic of the HGA.
There's a bit of a joke in this verse as it marks the final occurance of the word, because, in Liber AL. He really is not there again.
We encountered "Because" back in chapter II. There he was identified with the intellect and reason. I find this quite striking in relation to Nemo and Abrasax. The first symbolises the 8=3 attainment, and the transcedance of the intellect. The latter symbolises the 5=6 attainment where the intellect finally opens up Neshamah, and thereby voluntarily recognises that it is not the top dog anymore. The stele, as a pictorial summation of Thelema, represents these attainments.

Always Wondering
I don't know much about the grades. But I recently found myself up against my first big why since studying Chapter Two. I have to say, for-warned is for-armed. I was able to maintain a certain level of detachment.
From a more generalized place I read your thoughts on the advancement from 5=6 to 8=3 I got the sense of that spiraling of attainment. It is rather encouraging.

Simply beautiful. This will be helpful next time I try to complicate things.
