The Eleventh Working

[Wednesday, Jan. 21, 1914 E.V.]
During the day the Brethren were out of harmony, but conquered the feeling of
aminosity by Will. A full Banquet as ordained being consumed, the Brethren
repaired to the Temple; Fra. O.S.V. opened the same at 11 P.M. _die Mercurii._
      To the sight of O.S.V. (during the Versicle) Ammon-Ra appeared in the
East, Juppiter Himself filling the Temple. This also appeared as a cone of white
light whirling about the Image of the _All-One_ that is upon the Altar of the
Elements.
      After the Versicle Fra. L.T. obtained a message in Angelic to the effect
that the gods wish to regain Their dominion upon Earth, these Initiated Brethren
being as Fiery Arrows shot by Them in Their war against the slave-gods. A Four-
fold sacrifice was demanded; and that a sacrifice of cruelty. Therefore did ( .
. . oio . . . ) and ultimately ( HP-PH ).
      The Temple was closed 1:45 A.M. _die Joviis_, Fra. L.T. still (1:55) lying
entranced.
      The God is now effective. And with a single sacrifice on His Night (early,
to close before midnight) will that equilibration of the 4 and the 7 be
accomplished.*
   _Die Joviis  _2 A.M.
      Frater L.T. says _Tetelestai_; during this Working Fra. L.T. again heard the
astral bells.
      Also concerning the sacrifice it was revealed in the night, during the
sleep of exhaustion, to Fra. O.S.V. that the esence of the Operation is the
freeing of the elemental spirit of an animal soul. This may be done by _death_, or
by _complete exhaustion_ either through pleasure or through pain. In this death-
like trance the spirit becomes free to wander, and is united to the invoked God.
In the case of death this is permanent, and goes to increase the Body of God on
the planet. We should, therefore, when we can, obtain a closed and inviolable
precinct, and slay therein victims daily. In the meantime, let one of the
Brethren at least be reduced always to exhaustion by wine, and by the infliction
of wounds, and by the Ceremony itself. And if he utter oracles, let them be not
consciously given, and if the true God be duly invoked, they will be divine. And
this is the oracle which Juppiter gave unto Fra. O.S.V. in the night, or early
morning of His day _Joviis_.
      During all this day Fra. L.T. is oveshadowed by Juppiter. The world about
him appears a _vision of the future_. His eyes are dilated; he cannot read; his
manner is as one stupefied or entranced.
