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.

Most of the people that I have run into that don't like the book explain that they don't understand it or that Daniel Gunther has good ideas but is a poor writer and doesn't know how to express them well. Then there are others that are on their second or third reading of the book and love it.

For my part, I have only become a full member of the Order this year and I don't think that this is something that I want to chew on right now.

I don't know much about the formulas of NOX and LVX yet, but I have noticed that L.V.X. Lodge has changed its namesake. Likewise with HPK in Ogden *to* NOX.

I think that's a wise plan. There's too much practical work to be done to worry too much about this stuff until you have to. But then, in another sense, it is problematic right from the beginning, as it effects the conception of what one is aspiring to.

In any case, I think there's a lot of good stuff in the book.
