Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH
About 0.0: make preparations to invoke Path of ה. Local time, "11.35 pm": Invoked. About "11.50 pm": End.[1]
Invoking, a triangle (?) transported me into cloudy sky. (Not exactly a triangle; a wedge, rather: metallic.) Suddenly, I realized I was in Her, and called the Verses in AL adoring R-H-K, then the verses about "By B-N-M-T . . ." etc. I realize now that I omitted the verses "I am thy prophet, O Mentu." Also, I modified the verses "Bid me within thine House . . ." I changed this to "Within mine House I'll dwell", and the next one to "The wingèd snake of light, Hadit" and the verse "Abide with me . . ." as usual.
Then, while I repeated the mantra, I pondered on this. 33 means it. I invite Him to dwell with me. Then again, any Act of Love is towards the creation of the Child. My house is Nuit; She is My Mistress; and Our Child is He, H-r-h.
There was no Vision at all; only this. I ended by the Words and by the Word, and closed the Vision, then said Aum. Ha.
Banished by Hexagram and Pentagram at beginning; then, after Inv[oking], invoked them again.

About 10.52 pm: make preparations to invoke the Geni of Dome of ה. About 10.55 pm: Invoke. About 11.06 pm: After invoking, realized that this Vision is a continuation of the earlier one today: this Geni is R-H-K in "disguise"; its name is a Name of His. And the words from LXV came unto me: "O thou Son of a Light-transcending Mother—blessed by Thy Name, and the Name of Thy Name," etc. So, I have anointed the Seal, and will now banish it and invoke the Geni of the Carcer (Maybe. Am slightly drunk.). Note: of this, it seems to me that I am H-p-k, and He is R-H-K. It seems to agree with the Nature of the Hermit. Also, with my Function as M.T. [Magister Templi]: the . . . at . . . Also, with Liber CCCLXX. And of course, I am . . . (omitted).
(There follow some qabalistic manipulations, also omitted.)
1—Local time and astronomical time are not the same thing. Aspirants who practice Liber Resh should keep this in mind. True Stations of the Sun almost never coincide with "noon", "midnight", or any other clock time, and are, of course, reversed as one crosses the Equator. Geographical considerations must also be taken into account. For instance, if you live in a valley among mountains, sunset will always be earlier than astronomical time, and sunrise later. If you live on a mountain top, the converse will happen. Local conditions must be considered at all times, but not "Local Time", which is mere convention in most cases.
