“The 25 is just like that, it’s cool. The whole thing about a 25 is that the partner that it loves is equal in the amount of love that it can [give] to the computer or whatever other mechanism is also a part of that 25’s life.
After all, the 25th gate is the only gate of inanimate objects. It is the basic ingredient of all things. It is the basic matter structure in all things.
And so that love that is rooted in the 25 is a love that is a love for anything, in that sense, and everything. It’s a projected channel so it has to be recognized. And if it’s not recognized, it’s full of bitterness.
You know how many priests have never jumped across the chasm, but hold the standard and suffer from deep bitterness because they were not recognized? You know how many people who are in spiritual positions throughout this planet and never had a spiritual experience? I mean they’re bureaucrats.
It’s one of those things to recognize about the nature of the priesthood and the nature of the state because both of them are expressed here.
This is about power and the power of the priest and its cool love. The power that can guide the tribe across a chasm is a power that can be devastating. This is not about good or bad. It’s not a morality.
It’s simply the way in which it works. And because it’s a projected element, it means that it literally has to be invited to initiate—has to.”
