KONX OM PAX

Enter Nogah.

My little bit of sweet-stuff!

[She exhibits her External Splendour and Internal Corruption, and exit.

Bones. As to levels though, all levels are one. If I cancel out a and −a, the result is the same as if I cancel 1000a and −1000a. I am only concerned to cancel.

Bowley. All right, my gay 10=1—in Kether it's all very well. In the Ruach one must do as the Ruach does.

[Mrs. Bones, without, screaming, "My spoons! My silver spoons! Where are my spoons?"

Bones. Then what becomes of our Great Work?

Bowley. Ignore the fool and his silly questions is as good a formula as yours. But hush! Who comes here?

Enter the Mysterious Mathers, but, failing to borrow the necessary properties, is unable to give his performance, and exit.

Bones. This action does interrupt the dialogue.

Bowley. Go to! Do you think I've studied British Drama for years for naught? [Voices without, complaining of material loss.

Bowley. As I was saying, I would rather destroy the fool by ignoring him and his silly questions. But hush! who comes here?

Enter Nehushtan, and performs Serpentine Dance. Exit.

Bones. In answer to your last remark, you and I are near enough to the Halls of the Great Order to know how secret is the Brotherhood. What if your fool with his silly question should be a Master of the Temple talking to you in Samadhic language?

Bowley. My dear man, I will destroy him as soon as the rest. ὀύ μή is my reply to Binah as well as to Jesod. But hush! who comes here?
