Marcelo Motta Diary Entry Monday, 15 June 1970
Liber CCXXXI: A PERSONAL RESEARCH
About "0.45": prepare to invoke Geni of Carcer of ה.
Begin. 0.50: will smoke "pot". Took it. Fell into a tunnel after invoking again (though got the intimation that it would have been enough to count the Geni's name). Fell into a tunnel and had the intimation that "To fall is to do one's will", which of course it is—and now suddenly comes to mind the connotations of "Fall", and "Lucifer", and so forth. I hadn't thought of it before! The "Fall" is a superstition—a diffraction of the Truth.[1] Also, at the "end" of the corridor, after falling, I saw the Earth, and remembers Liber ...? which? But somehow (besides being connected with the book (which may be 33!!!)[2] it is also connected with Liber Artemis Iota is, of course, 10 + 10 = 20, equals the full value of IVD: the Hermit! And the letters of IVD: the Hermit, the Hierophant and Love. So, maybe this desire of so many people to "share my woman" with me is a diffraction (now comes doubt!) of the Truth of IVD! (No doubt! Remember the Closed Circle in this plane, the Star of Nuit in the Upper, in the Seal.[3] The doubt is the break in the circle—the wound in the aura.[4] This is also related to the "weak beam".[5] I must watch for it.)
Also, I suddenly saw galaxies in blue after the intimation concerning XXXIII and XXX. Also, the laws of "life on earth" apply. Clothe thyself in the vestments of the country thou travelest through! But that means, of course, the human body, and the laws of the flesh—in fact, the veritable material laws of life on Earth!
(There followed some qabalistic manipulations while still in the Vision. Omitted.)
1.20 am: Banished Vision, after anointing Seal. Will now study, and then sleep. 3 inhalations of C.I.[6] had the desired effect, I think. All numerations of the Geni's name harmonize. Also most important: ARTEMIS IOTA is Book of Sexual Conduct of the Hermit.
1—This is connected with the astronomical concept of the true orbit of any body in space manifesting itself in the nature of "free fall". Also, see Liber NV, vv. 19-20. 2—Actually, it was Liber X vel Porta Lucis. 3—A reference to the Seer's Lamen, which he first started devising as a Neophyte, but only reached completion a decade afterwards. 4—A reference to a magickal attack on the part of a Roman Catholic priest, entirely due to the Seer's own imprudence and disobedience to the rules of the Order. 5—Cf. the Yi King, Hexagram 28. 6—Actually, it was Cannabis Americana, the Brazilian variety.
