e Squaring The Circle Revised © 2016 Timothy MossAye! feast! rejoice! there is no dread hereafter. —The Book of the LawPreamble As of 1923, Aleister Crowley had given up on finding evidence that proves Liber AL Vel Legis, The Book of the Law, was received by him in the form of dictation from a praeterhuman entity named Aiwass while in Egypt in 1904. Crowley's inability to find the necessary evidence underscores the need for an individual referred to in the Book of the Law as the child of the prophet, the person predicted to expound the meaning of the book, which includes solving various graphic and alphanumeric ciphers contained within it. In the absence of evidence that demonstrates the existence of Aiwass and his authorship of the Book of the Law, it can be concluded the child of the prophet has yet to emerge, and the ciphers of the book have yet to be solved. ‘There are at least two types of data that can serve as evidence the ciphers have been solved: the first is a convergence of numeric coincidences that are unlikely to occur at random; the second is the translation of the ciphers into information that shows Aiwass had inexplicable knowledge in 1904 that he concealed within them. The means for placing numeric markers in the text are limited to word counts, letter counts, and letters or words enumerated with gematria. To embed information in the form of written language, letters within the ciphers can be substituted for other letters; numbers within the ciphers can be substituted for letters using, gematria; or letters can be enumerated with gematria and substituted for words with the same enumeration: all but one of the techniques are applied in this analysis. Verse II:55 of the Book of the Law predicts the creation of an English magical alphabet that includes a gematria system as an aspect of its construction; with the text of the book consisting of English words except for one Hebrew letter and one Greek word, the gematria system predicted is the first choice as the key needed to solve the ciphers. Although providing correct solutions to the ciphers should prove the alphabet predicted has been discovered, there is the potential for deception on the part of a capable programmer who has the ability to create gematria systems that are reverse-engineered using a computer. The gematria system used in this analysis is derived from the letter counts of the Book of the Law, a quality that proves no ulterior motives were involved in its creation, and that none of the solutions produced with it were preconceived by this author. The system is created by assigning the value 1 to the most frequent letter in the Book of the Law, and the value 26 to the least frequent letter: E=11T=20=3H=4A=5S=61=7N=8R=9L=10D=11U=12F=13M=14 Y= 15 W = 16 B=17 C= 18 G=19 P=20K=21 V =22J=23 X=24Q=25Z=26 The Tri-key gematria systemProphecy of The Feast Verse II:39 of the Book of the Law ‘A feast for Tahuti and the child of the prophet—secret, O Prophet! On October 3%, 2009, a gematria system derived from the letter counts in the Book of the Law was indicated as the system described in verse II:55 of the book, providing the final element needed to complete a magical alphabet named The Tri-key. The date of completion is concealed in verse 11:39 using the two groups of words in the verse separated by a dash. The first group consists of ten words that signify the tenth month; the second group contains three words that signify the third day of the month: together the word counts indicate October 3° as the feast day of Tahuti and the child of the prophet. ‘The gematria enumeration of verse II:39 is 351, the sum of the ordinal letter values 1-26, the value range utilized by the Tri-key gematria system. With the event marking October 3 consisting of the selection of a gematria system that utilizes ordinal values, the nature of the celebrated event is encoded in the verse through its enumeration. ‘The name of the child of the prophet is also hidden in the verse, through its count of letters, the total of which is 52, the enumeration of Tint Moss. The Numbers & The Words Verses II:75-76 of the Book of the Law: ‘Aye! listen to the numbers & the words: 4638ABK24ALGMOR3YX2489R PSTOVAL. What meaneth this, 0 prophet? Thou knowest not; nor shalt thou know ever. There cometh one to follow thee: he shall expound it. But remember, o chosen one, to be me; to follow the love of Nu in the star-lit heaven; to look forth upon men, to tell them this glad word. The two lines of characters that form the cipher of verse II:76 in the Liber L Vel Legis manuscript are approximated below: 4638ABK24ALGMOR3Y X2489RPSTOVAL ‘The numbers in the first line of the cipher equal 30 when added together; the numbers in the second Iine equal 113: the 30" prime number is 113: 24+89= 113 4464+34+8+24443=30The numbers in the second line of the cipher, 24 and 89, have an established relationship, with 89 consisting of the 24" prime number. The presence of 24 and 89 in the cipher, along with the concealment of 30 and 113, suggests that prime numbers in the cipher should be analyzed separately from the composite numbers. The sum of the composite numbers equals 46; the sum of the prime numbers equals 97; the enumeration of The Word is 46; the enumeration of Do what thou wilt is 97. Interpreted together, the two values define the glad word alluded to in verse II:76 as Do what thou wilt. 4464844 +24 =46= The word 34243 +89=97=Do what thou wilt Verse II:76 is the only verse in the Book of the Laz that addresses two different individuals directly; the first is Aleister Crowley in his role as prophet: his name is concealed in the sum of the numbers contained in the second line of the cipher, while his alternate identity is concealed in a gematria enumeration that equals the count of the 222 letters in the verse: 24+89=113 Aleister Crowley = 113 The Beast Six Hundred Sixty-Six = 222 The second person addressed in verse II:76 is the individual predicted to reveal the meaning of the cipher. The appeal to the individual by Aiwass would be pointless without also providing evidence that establishes the identity of the person in question. Subtracting the sum of the numbers in the cipher from the enumeration of its letters produces the remainder 76, the enumeration of Timothy Moss. The count of words in verse 1:76 is 52, the enumeration of Tim Moss. The enumeration of the letters in the first line of the cipher equals that of Timothy Daniel Moss, while the value of the letters in the second line equals the enumeration of the city and state of my birth: Amarillo Texas = 101 ABKALGMORY = 118 Timothy Daniel Moss = 118 219 - 143=76 ABKALGMORYXRPSTOVAL = 219 A464+34+8+2+4434244+89= 143 The sum of the numbers in the cipher of verse II:76 equals 143; there is only one complete sentence in the Book of the Law that enumerates as 143, the one that immediately follows the cipher: What meaneth this, o prophet? = 143. The uniqueness of the enumeration and its uncanny proximity to the cipher both suggest that its presence in the verse is by design.The Circle Squared ‘Verse III:47 of the Book of the Law: This book shall be translated into all tongues: but always with the original in the writing of the Beast; for in the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: in these are mysteries that no Beast shall divine. Let him not seek to try: but one cometh after him, whence I say not, who shall discover the Key of it all. Then this line drawn is a key: then this circle squared in its failure is a key also. And Abrahadabra. It shall be his child & that strangely. Let him not seek after this; for thereby alone can he fall from it. In the Liber L Vel Legis manuscript, there is a thick diagonal line drawn across page 60, consisting of the first of three keys specified in verse III:47. The second key appears as a small elliptical figure drawn on the page with two intersecting lines within it. The third key is the word of power Abrahadabra. The verse indicates that a proper application of the keys will reveal mysteries pertaining to the letters on the page, while also identifying the child of the prophet. The ellipse fails to touch any letters on the page, and as a result can serve no immediate purpose except to mark a location with the two intersecting lines within it. In the absence of a Circle that indicates letters on the page, the logical course of action is to create one that does using the keys provided. To succeed, the length of the line must be used as the diameter of the circle, and the intersecting lines within the ellipse used to position the circle on the page. The diameter of the circle is 441 pixels, the length of the line measured from end to end in a straight line. The width of the line used to draw the circle is two pixels, the same approximate width as the lines drawn by Aleister Crowley when adding the grid to the page, thus approximating the thickness of a line drawn with a pencil. The circle has been added to the image of page 60 shown on the next page, with its center position marked by the two intersecting lines; remarkably, the two lines mark the exact horizontal center of page 60. Squaring a circle requires creating a square with the same area as that of a circle, something that has been proven impossible to do with precision, hence the use of the phrase squared in its failure to describe the effort. Despite the known failure involved, an attempt at squaring the circle must be made in order create a square that complements the circle drawn on the page: this is accomplished by finding the square root of the area of the circle, which will equal the length of one side of the square: Diameter (D) = 441 D+2= Radius (R) = 220. Rx Rx 3.14 = Area (A) = 152667 SQRT(A) = 390.72 A square with sides that measure 391 pixels in length is superimposed over the circle in the image of page 60:
