Just a quick thought about the Gunther book
I don't get the whole thing about LVX no longer opening the vault of the adepts, but now only opening the palace at the foot of Mount Abeignus or whatever. And now NOX is the formula that opens the Vault and the Mountain is in the City of the Pyramids or more whatever. I guess maybe more exalted initiation will show me the error of my ways, but. . .

It seems to me much more simple than all this:

The Mount of Abeignus still contains the Vault of the Adepts in Tiphareth, and LVX is the formula that opens it and is the formula that crowns the Outer College. In order to be admitted to the mysteries of NOX, on must pass through the Vault, in other words, be an adept. NOX is, then, the formula that admits to the the City of Pyramids and is the formula that crowns the Inner College.

No need to move mountains or disturb the layout of the system or anything. I know, I'm old fashioned.

I'm getting to read that book in small pieces at the moment (my semester isn't quite over). I'm really enjoying it. He's written a couple of things that has put some Thelemic symbolism in a completely new light for me. It's crystalized some of it if ya get my drift. I'm looking forward to curling up with that book once I'm finished with my final paper.

Shawn opined that it's like a bad tooth that you can't keep from running your tongue over. Some of it is kinda referential to stuff within AA, and it may seem less logical without that perspective. Which is fine, except those who aren't AA might be excused for wondering what the hell he's talking about. As with most things, I found it neither as good as it was promoted to be in some circles, nor as bad as it was diminished to be in other circles.

My objection to the LVX/NOX thing might simply be symptomatic of my own failure to step into the new Aeon, but I guess I'll have to live with that risk for the time being.
