   9:30
      Seer being excited by a half bottle of Pommery 1904, and by
Eros, opened T[emple] of _[Liber] 671._ Toward end S. cried ``The
Beast!'' amid her groans. It is now 9:49.
   9:50

   S:  The Beast has come in here. He opens his mouth. Many
characters come therefrom -- J or I and then Uranus. He
says, ``You shall go on till the end''.
   P:  Describe the Beast.
   S:  Great God! . . . He's tremendous. Like an oxen _(!!!)_ and
between his two horns lies another curled horn. _(Groans)_
It comes down over his face. The half of his right foot is
white. . . It's an arrow, and below the arrow is letter V.
I only want The Truth, The Truth, The Truth.
   P:  What is his name?
   S:  I think it's Uranus -- ( . . . ) Eros maybe. _(S. becomes quite_
_unintelligible)._ He has a gilded hoof. (Old man and all
brethren in white are here.) They've all their hands on same
bar in shape of U. Their hands are mailed.
   9:58
   S:  You may ask what you like tonight. . . 47 or 477.
   P:  What is your real name?
   S:  Ura, and then flashing in a flame 207 . . . I see Surt
(Ora) . . . I always see Crown and Cross.*
   10:00
   _   (S. again inaudible)._ I am to serve and he is a master who
can command. O.H.O.{i}
   P:  Meaning?
   S:  Initiation.
   P:  Who's he?
   S:  You _(P.)_ must make the test.
   P:  Test of whom?
   S:  Of the one to be . . . Absolutely!
   P:  Does h follow vh ? _(Will there be a son?)_
   S:  No.
   P:  Does V follow? _(or a daughter?)_
   S:  No.
   P:  Will {ENO:p}  Pi get K of K? _(love of this life _i.e. _L.W.)_
   S:  It comes. It's poised.
   P:  Will N. do what he proposed?
   S:  He has.
   P:  Not yet, surely!
   S:  He has. The deed is father to the thought.
   P:  What will happen to R.? ( . . . )
   S:  He will act rightfully as in the past.
   P:  Then he is only a fool?
   S:  He counts for his weight only.
   P:  Tell me about this _Book IV_ or _Aba._
   S:  It's the most important. You'll find it unexpectedly.
   P:  (When)
   S:  Wait! Be patient! Work! Deny nothing! The simplest things
mean most. You're on the way. The _Book IV_ means freedom
to all. It's the Light.
   P:  When shall I next meet a Brother in the flesh?
   S:  When you know him! He's waiting for you. Know him by
crossed hands. He too has a ring.* Wait! Wait! Wait! We are
with you. Your work is not yet done. Out of your life shall
come many. There are three bars to cross{i} ( . . . ) (Sacrifice
? France) -- I can't make it out. By the blood of
(Oedipus!) _(S. unintelligible)._ On thy feet shall hoofs be
added for speed. Because of the Great Way to go. Scorn not
the means. Ask what you will. But remember they are all
there.
   P:  I.l.n.i.t.b.p.e.? _(Is last night's instruction to be punctually_
_executed?)_
   S:  Yes: but move. Ask again. There are great events happening
and you are too doubtful; have confidence.
   P:  M.w.a.t.i.o.l.n.? _(May we alter the instruction of last night?)_
   S:  No . . . 29. You are the test. Obey. She serves.
