From: Josh Norton Area: Thelema To: Christeos Pir 7 Sep 94 15:29:00 Subject: Book of coming forth UpdReq Thus said Christeos Pir to Josh Norton concerning Book of coming forth: JN> Did anyone read the pirate copy of ToS's "Book of Coming Forth by JN> Night", over in I-net's alt.magick? CP> Yep. I tried to send you a copy by Netmail, but the BBS said the CP> address I used wasn't listed. Thanks. I do a keyword scan on the alt.magick traffic, and occasionally read all of it. But I don't think our link is getting all the messages -- I sometimes see replies to messages I never saw. As for the address problem, seems to me that's happened before. Our Podnet address changed a while ago, and for a while both the old and the new address were valid. Perhaps the main node finally dropped the old address but didn't update the lists at other nodes. I'll check the addresses the next time I log on and let you know what's right. JN> [comments deleted to avoid flames from lurking Setians...] CP> LOL! JN> What I am interested in asking: Does anyone have the FAINTEST idea how JN> the "numbers & words" of Liber AL 2.76 were decoded into a declaration JN> that Michael Aquino is the Magus of a new aeon of Set? CP> Interesting, no? And here all this time I thought it meant that _I_ CP> was to be the "one who cometh after"! (Yeah, after the elephants, with CP> a broom and a pan.) Well, when you follow a Beast, you've got to expect to see a lot of shit. Given that the "translation" mentions Aquino by name, I'm guessing that he's somehow using the numbers and letters as an index into some other document in his possession -- possibly something from the CoS, or a previous "channeled" message. If, that is, it's actually a decoding of some sort, and not simply "Set" telling him what it means. ...
