Frater Achad

1.  In the Beginning,  created,  ALHIM,  the Essence of the Heavens and the Essence of the Earth.

2.  Thus the first Name given in the Book of Genesis is that of The Elehim, the Creative Gods.

3.  And the Numeration thereof is 86. Many and great are its mysteries.

4.  Then,  in the Second Creation Story,  is made mention of IHVH = JaHVeH, the Tetragrammaton or Name-of-the-Four-letters, whose numeration is 26.

5.  And this name was throughout the Second Story combined with that of the First, as it is written IHVH ALHIM, whose numeration is 112.

6.  And the Name-of-the-Four-letters,  IHVH, was considered by the Jews too sacred to be pronounced , save  only  once a year by the High Priest in the Holy of Holies,  amid  the blare of trumpets,  and thus,  in reading aloud, there  was  substituted the name ADNI,  Adonai,  which  being translated is "Lord." And the numeration thereof is 65.

7.  But unto Abraham and unto Isaac and unto Jacob,  with whom God made His first Covenant, His Name IHVH was not revealed, for by them was He known by His name AL (God) Shaddai, that is to say: GOD Almighty. And the numeration of AL is 31  (many and great are its mysteries); and the full numeration of AL ShDI,  is 345, which is also that of the mysterious word HShM, Ha Shema,
which meaneth The NAME.

8.  But only unto the Prophet MShH, Moses,  the numeration of whose name is 345, was revealed by God His Highest Name,  that  is by numeration 543, the numerical Temurah of 345 , which name is AHIH AShR AHIH, Ehieh Ashur Ehieh, which meaneth "Existence IS Existence" — the NAME of the Highest GOD.

9.  Even as it is written in Exodus 3.13:  "And Moses said to God, `Behold, when I come to the  children  of Israel,  and say to them,  The God of your fathers hath sent me to you; and they shall say to me,  What  is  his name?  What shall I say to them?"  And God said to Moses, `I AM THAT I AM.' And he said `Thus shalt thou say to the children if Israel;  I AM (AHIH) hath sent me to you.'"

10. And the numeration of AHIH is 21, many and great are its mysteries.

11. "And God said moreover to Moses,  "Thus  shalt thou say to the children of Israel; IHVH,  (JaHVeH) the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob hath sent me to you; this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial to generations of generations".

12. And again in Exodus 6.2: "And God spake unto Moses, and said to him, `I AM IHVH (JaHVeH).  And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as AL (or God) Almighty,  but by my name IHVH was I not known to them. And I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings wherein they sojourned!"

13. And  the  numeration  of  AHIH  IHVH,  I  AM JaHVeH,  is 47, but by the Qabalists  these  Names  (of  Macroprosopus  and  Microprosopus)  have been coalescend into the most mysterious name AHIHVH, the numeration of which is 32.

14. Thus did God reveal  His  name to Moses as of the Vast Countenance AHIH and of the Lesser Countenance IHVH,  and  both  these  Holy Names have been held most sacred.

15. But in the whole of Judaism  and its sacred literature there is nothing that is so holy as the sentence known as the Shema,  Ha Shema,  which is to say  "The  NAME" — "Hear, O Israel:  IHVH ALHIM IHVH AChD,  JaHVeH our God JaHVeH is ACHAD:  Achad meaning ONE — UNITY. (And this Shema occurs in the Book of Deuteronomy Chapter VI verse 4.)

16. And these words of the Shema  are  immediately followed by the Command: "And  thou  shalt  love  IHVH thy God with all thy heart,  and with all thy soul,  and  with all thy might.  And  these  words I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart;  and  thou  shalt  press them upon thy children, and shall talk of them when thou sittest in thy house,  and down, and when thou risest up.  And  thou  shalt  bind them for a sign upon thy hand,  and they shall  be  as  frontlets between thine eyes.  And thou shalt write upon the
door-post of thy house, and on the city gates.

17. This, then is the Commandment which IHShVH (Jesus) later referred to as "The whole of the Law and the Prophets."

18. And the numeration of AChD (Unity) is 13. Likewise is the numeration of AHBH, Ahebah, LOVE,  13.  And together Unity and Love are 26,  which is the numeration if IHVH, which implieth that the One God is Love,  and  as  such most worthy of the whole  love  of  His chosen people — first and foremost and always.

19. After which  First  Commandment cometh the love of the neighbour and of one another, and of all creatures for His sake.

20. And what of this Love  (AHBH)  when extended,  or as the Qabalists say, spelt  in  full?  Spelt  in  full  AHBH  (13)  becomes  ALP HH BITh HH  the numeration of which is 543  the equivalent of AHIH AShR AHIM — I AM THAT I AM — The NAME of the Highest GOD.

21. ACHAD is AHEBAH — God is Love.

22. But there is a further great  Mystery of the name of God which was also revealed unto Moses (345)  but  of  which word is indeed seldom spoken, yet which when known and reverenced unlocks many secret gates.

23. This Holy name is QNA whose numeration is 151.

24. What meaneth this?

25. When Moses having broken the First tablets of the law received from God on  Mount  Sinai,  returned again with  other  tablets that the Lord  might write again thereon (See Exodus Ch 34 V.1) God made a further covenant with him (verse 10)  and  disclosed a third name to Moses (verse 14) as follows:  "For thou shalt worship no other God;  for IHVH whose Name is JEALOUS (QNA) is a jealous God."

26. Now the  primary  meaning  of  this  word  JEALOUS is: Eager to uphold, solicitous for, guarding watchfully.  Its  secondary  meaning as applied to the Commandment of God is: Requiring whole-hearted worship and service. And only  in  its  tertiary  and  further meanings does it  have  reference to:  Apprehension of being supplanted,  outdone  by  a rival in love;  or in the favour of another etc.  But it does also mean: Zealously vigilant. Thus its root is in "Zeal": Intense enthusiasm; ardour, fervour.

27. It is this intense enthusiasm, this ardour, this fervour that QNA is in Himself and demand of others:  Thou shalt LOVE Me with thy whole heart, thy whole soul,  thy whole mind and thy whole strength for I AM LOVE Itself and I  AM  JEALOUS,  because  passionate Love  in  its  very nature implies the possibility of Jealousy.

28. And how does this  Great Name of God give us the key to our choice of a  Number most adequate to represent Him?

29. The Numeration of QNA is 151.

30. The Numeration  of  AHIH  (I AM) spelt in full (ALPh HH IVD HH) is 151.

31. The Numeration of  IHVH ALHIM IHVH AChD  (JaHVeH our GOD JaHVeh is ONE) is 151.

32. This  shows in one combination  or another the original ALHIM (Our God) of the First Creation Story, AHIH the highest Name given to Moses, IHVH the Ineffable name of Four Letters,  AChD,  the true Unity, are all through the Number 151 equivalent to this Holy Name QNA which has been "rejected".

33. That it does represent the Stone that the Builders rejected is shown as follows: Tradition has it that the Original Law was written upon a Sapphire Stone.  Moses  broke  and discarded the original Tablet of the Law. And QNA being written in full becomes  QOPH NVN ALPh  which  is 403 which number is that of the words ABN SPhIR, that is to say the Sapphire Stone.

34. Now as for the sound of this  Holy Name QNA it is CANA. And this surely suggests the land of CANAan, the promised land flowing with milk and honey.  It  is  also  significant  that  the first miracle performed by IHShVH took place at  CANA  of  Galilee in connection  with  a marriage, or love feast, where Water was  changed  into Wine,  and whereat Jesus first signified the Kingdom of Heaven  which  is  within  every  man  as leaven is within three measurea of meal.

35. But finally  there  is  a  more  than  possible connection with certain prophesies in Liber Legis,  which  is called the Book of the Law in the New Aeon.  Mention  is  made  therein  of  a  word not known: and this was once explained (after the discovery of the key AL) as a word NOT known.

36. But  there is towards the end of this Book — Chapter III verse 72 — a certain  mysterious  word  which  may  have reference to the "not known" of Chapter III verse 2.

                  "I am the Lord of the Double Wand of Power:
                  the wand of the force of Coph Nia — etc."

37. Now  there  is,  as  has  been  shown  elsewhere,  a  most  interesting correspondence between the words "Coph Nia"  and The Book of the Law, their Hebrew equivalents having the same numeration.

38. But in the Commentary on Liber Legis written by  666 there occurs these words "Coph Nia":  the  original  MS has — left incomplete as not properly heard.  The present text was filled in later in her own hand by the Scarlet Woman."

38. Now there was another word  not  rightly heard when the original MS was made:  thus the title of first editions appeared as Liber L. vel Legis, and only after the discovery of the Key to the book did this get changed to the proper title: Liber AL vel Legis.

39. It is here suggested then,  that the word "Coph was given (or put down) for  the  Hebrew  letter  "Qoph"  and that the Intelligence dictating Liber Legis gave  this  seperate  letter  Qoph as the first letter of a word, but pronounced it apart specially to distinguish it from "Kaph".  It is further suggested that what was written as "NIA" was intended to be the rest of the Word, viz: NA,  so that the word should read QNA or CANA, or KANA by sound.  Had, however, the whole word been pronounced thus it would surely have been
written down with an initial letter of either C or K, and to avoid this the first sound given was  "Coph"  or "Qoph". This led (as JEALOUSLY does) to a misunderstanding.  May  not  the word JEALOUS (QNA) be the "word not known" which has caused the "Divisionhither homewards" of Chapter III.2.?

40. The further correspondences of this Number 151 are also worthy of note.

41. There is the word QVMH which means: A standing upright,  and "stature".

42. There is also the sacred word MQVH which appears in Jer.XVII.13,  where it is written:

            12.  "A glorious throne on high from the beginning hath
                  been the place of our Sanctuary.
            13.  "O IHVH, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee
                  shall be ashamed.
                 "They that drew back from me shall be  written  on
                  earth,  because  they  have  forsaken IHVH,  "THE
                  FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATERS." (MQVH = 151)

43. Let us then not forget "to rejoice" (GIL = 43)
