I have been revising the Comment on Liber Legis with aid of Alostrael, Iacchaion [C. F. Russell] and Estai [Jane Wolfe]—Cap II with Iacchaion only. I cannot express myself adequately about my sense of failure in this comment. More, I feel that I have not conquered my repulsion to Chapter III. I ask myself too: have I ever tried to carry out the instructions in that chapter? I am utterly wretched about the whole matter. I say: have I not failed absolutely to obey the 'Heavenly Vision'? I am so miserable that I can only see one course of action: to "ask the YI to give a General Symbol for my past work in relation to the Book of the Law.
