Amazing video, per usual. I remember how excited I was when I was younger (college age) and learned a more accurate translation from that line from the emerald tablet is the above IS the below, just like you said. Being raised Christian, I remember the people I encountered who were obsessed with innate evilness and a rejection of the body and a denial of human impulse…I tended to see them in mental or spiritual turmoil often (or what seemed like never, which seems unhealthy as well), and they were so…pliable. Maybe from who they chose to follow once they rejected the self. Do you know if certain entities are drawn to these people (to fuck with them maybe or teach)? I imagine the best time to fuck with a god is when they are “mortal.” So with 0=2, when we are human, Hadit…are we at a different place on the food chain? I definitely see demons as teachers, but like with the being that communicated the book of the law to Crowley…is everything 0=2 or is it just actual humans? Like…is Nuit among other gods and entities, or are these others just an additional way we experience ourselves? Are we ever subject to a danger greater than death while doing magic? From what I’ve read it seems like Nuit is all, but I’m unsure if that includes the other entities you mentioned.
I answered some of these questions in a recent article: lapis-mercurii.org/lvx/the-rapture-of-realization-exploring-thelemas-esoteric-vision-of-existence/
