APPENDIX L

Instructions Appended to Liber I by Master Pacitius

Appended to the text of Liber I: The Book of the Zero-Hour by Master Pacitius (Albin Grau) are these instructive guidelines. As so little written work by Grau is available, it seems well to offer these words here.

FIRST LESSON REGARDING DUTIES PROVIDED TO NEOPHYTES OF THE OUTER COURT

Do what Thou wilt is the entire Law!

Neophyte, Thou who art caught languishing in the terrible dark of the cubic number, pay attention to the Law and know that
Do what Thou wilt

does not mean:
Do whatever pleaseth Thee!

Discover Thy true Will and mercilessly hammer into Thy reluctant, quadradically stratified physical brain the following duties:

1. Place Thyself at all times and in all Thy actions and thoughts under the control of Thy Will.
        (Commentaries will be provided.)

2. Respect the freedom of others—Thou Thyself can only be free when Thou bindest Thyself firmly and inextricably to the Law.

3. Do nothing other than that which Thou wilt. If Thou dost anything else—then Thou causest perplexity.
            The end is madness—misery—death.

4. Respect the Will of others—do not hinder anyone in the exercise of their Will, for:

Every person is a star!

            Consider well that if Thou forcest others into Thy orbit, Thou destroyest them—The conclusion is individual ruin.

5. Look without longing or excitement at the bustle of this world of three dimensions.
     Understand:
     The great leitmotif of its progression is:
                    Love without pity!
     Do not bring Thyself into conflict with the Law of the lord of the new Aeon through
                        “Lust of Result.”

6. Endure the burden of service unto the deepest degree. Obey Thy Leader of Thine own free decision without grumbling.
    For one day he will test Thee, without Thou even knowing it. It could then happen that Thou shalt not pass the “test” and that Thou wilt be forced by apparent hardships to do things the later consequences of which Thou canst not comprehend.
    Therefore:
    Place Thyself without reservation under the law of the Leader;
    for:
    It is Thy Will—so do it!

7. Control Thyself—when, where, and under whatever circumstances these might be! Thy soul is always to be like unto the mirrorlike water on an unfathomably deep ocean. Guard Thyself against the temptations with which the events of life and death attract Thee.
    Think about it—these are the masked servants “desire” and “suffering” of public opinion—that are trying to force Thee into their orbit.

8. Remain silent—in order to hear Thy inner voice and consider well that the everyday noise that Thou uselessly carriest out with others, disturbs the great regular evolution of the universe of which Thou art a part!
        Besides, by indiscretion and love of gossiping Thou givest others the opportunity to see Thy weaknesses. In the end Thou wilt suffocate in the quagmire of vulgar defamation into which they draw Thee.

9. Love everyone and everything—but Thy love is to be “purified of any aim.”
    If it is “purified of aim,” then it will be like that of the Lord—pure and sublime!

10. Turn this Jove “purified of aim” first upon Thyself—do not spare Thyself with tenderness, leniency and sentimentality:

strictest self-analysis

is to be the result.

            Write Thy actions and thoughts down every day as a result of Thy self-analysis—without deference and self-delusion!

            Besides we have ways to recognize any deception!
            (Commentaries will be given about this.)

            Do not let Thyself be misled into being lenient with Thyself. Thou makest sharp thereby a weapon for Thy “lower self,” with which it ambushes and destroys Thy “higher self.”

            May Horus lead and guide Thee toward the completion of Thy true Will, which is

“The Great Work.”—
true wisdom
true magic and
perfect happiness!

            Love is the law—Love under control of the Will of God!
