36 Lessons of Vivec , Sermon 35 Content . The Scripture of Love : ' The formulas of proper Veloth i magic continue in ancient tradition , but that virility is dead , by which I mean at least replaced . Truth owes its medicinal nature to the establishment of the myth of justice . Its curative properties it likewise owes to the concept of sacrifice . Princes , chiefs , and angels all subscribe to the same notion . This is a view primarily based on a prolific abolition of an implied profanity , seen in ceremonies , knife fighting , hunting , and the exploration of the poetic . On the ritual of occasions , which comes to us from the days of the cave glow , I can say nothing more than to loosen your equation of moods to lunar currency . Later , and by that I mean much , much later , my reign will be seen as an act of the highest love , which is a return from the astral destiny and the marriages between . By that I mean the catastrophes , which will come from all five corners . Subsequent are the revisions , differentiated between hope and the distraught , situations that are only required by the periodic death of the immutable . Cosmic time is repeated : I wrote of this in an earlier life . An imitation of submersion is love ' s premonition , its folly into the underworld , by which I mean the day you will read about outside of yourself in an age of gold . For on that day , which is a shadow of the sacrificial concept , all history is obliged to see me for what you are : in love with evil . To keep one ' s powers intact at such a stage is to allow for the existence of what can only be called a continual spirit . Make of your love a defense against the horizon . Pure existence is only granted to the holy , which comes in a myriad of forms , half of them frightening and the other half divided into equal parts purposeless and assured . Late is the lover that comes to this by any other walking way than the fifth , which is the number of the limit of this world . The lover is the highest country and a series of beliefs . He is the sacred city bereft of a double . The uncultivated land of monsters is the rule . This is clearly attested by ANU and his double , which love knows never really happened . Similarly , all the other symbols of absolute reality are ancient ideas ready for their graves , or at least the essence of such . This scripture is directly ordered by the codes of Mephala , the origin of sex and murder , defeated only by those who take up those ideas without my intervention . The religious elite is not a tendency or a correlation . They are dogma complemented by the influence of the untrustworthy sea and the governance of the stars , dominated at the center by the sword , which is nothing without a victim to cleave unto . This is the love of God and he would show you more : predatory but at the same time instrumental to the will of critical harvest , a scenario by which one becomes as he is , of male and female , the magic hermaphrodite . Mark the norms of violence and it barely registers , suspended as it is by treaties written between the original spirits . This should be seen as an opportunity , and in no way tedious , though some will give up for it is easier to kiss the lover than become one . The lower regions crawl with these souls , caves of shallow treasures , meeting in places to testify by way of extension , when love is only satisfied by a considerable ( incalculable ) effort . ' The ending of the words is ALMSIVI .
