Correspondence from Karl Germer to Phyllis Seckler

Dear Phyllis,
The Greeting of the Equinox of Spring!
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
It is always a pleasure to hear from you; being all alone, isolated, speaking Thelemically, is a test for you in itself. I feel wonderful for you that you now have what you call an "outlet". I trust it is only a beginning.
The Great Work of Ra Hoor Khuit is visibly progressing. I must have expressed often to you that the periods of Time in which They live are different from our. It is so hard and agonizing for us humans to accept Theirs and to learn to (a) see and understand Theirs and (b) learn to adapt our vision of Liber Legis to it as well as our life. It would be nice to see L.L. [Liber Legis] established in the world in our time, to see all the prophecies fulfilled—those of Chapter III, and those of I, 61, etc. No wonder that so many whom I know and have known have fallen by the wayside because they began to doubt the Book. Even after A.C. had spells, for in the early days of 93 it seemed so fantastic that He should be chosen for such a tremendous job; even in the 22 years that I was more or less around him he suffered form being able to bring about the acceptance of the law. Oh! How he suffered!
Where are helpers to-day? Where the generation of men and women that will accomplish the next step? Much has been done in Germany. I see small and delicate plants trying to spring up here and there. So it encourages me to hear of your new venture. One can never know what Sequoia will grow out of it. And one should not care. All you can do is heed the impulse from your H.G.A. [Holy Guardian Angel].
I like what you call your vision that you mention. Recently I have been led to read over A Dweller on Two Planets by Phylos, edition 1920. I had this from the collection of Jane [Jane Wolfe]. It is a very remarkable book, and I am going to read it again. Do you know this? It even throws light on the doctrine of Nu and Had on the large world and the individual entities in the human world. The book demands careful reading. If you have or know it, it may be useful to read it again; if not, there is now a new edition available; but I shall be glad to send you my library copy on loan.
It seems I have been led or ordered to these 'outermost places' and that I have to stay here for the time being, though I often itch for a change. But the events have to pass and blow over first, apparently. You will always be welcome to visit here and talk problems over.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally,
Karl
