LIBER AL VEL LEGIS SUB FIGURÂ CCXX AS DELIVERED BY XCIII = 418 TO DCLXVI A∴A∴ Publication in Class A. ~ The Commentaries of AL ~ 1. Chapter I Being the core of the Equinox Vol. V no. 1 by Motta INTRODUCTION As all those interested in the A\ A\must know, the Order alternates Five Years of Speech with Five Years of Silence. The last published Number of THE EQUINOX was Vol. III, No. vi. Lay bibliophiles must not waste time seeking for Vol. IV, which was a Volume of Silence. Readers must not, under any circumstances, take this present publication of the Commentaries too seriously. The Publication is in Classes A, B and C, which means, "in whiter words": Class A: These are Utterances from above the Abyss, from Initiates of the Collegium Summum, of which must not be changed even the style of a letter. Only the original text of AL and The Comment, signed Ankh-f-n-khonsu, are in this Class here. (Exceptions, such as quotes from other Holy Books, are duly noted.) Such texts are in bold type. (The weak in intellect, the automatic rebel, and even some earnest seeker may ask: "Why must one not change even the style of a letter of such texts?" The answer is simply that even the style of a letter has meaning in them. It is not a matter of Respect for Authority. It is a matter of keeping the records straight, lest the Utterance of a Master become smeared by the Confusion of a Follower, or several Followers, a thing which, unless we mistake, has happened all too often in the past.) Class B: These are utterances of High Initiates of the A\ A\, or of people recognized as High Initiates by the A\ A\, considered of sufficient value to be published under the aegis of the Order.
