to achieve hadit

[triveni93]

Kenneth Grant mentions the idea of achieving Hadit multiple times in Aleister Crowley and the Hidden God (I'm looking specifically at page 106 in this instance, which is why I'm placing my question in this particular sub-forum). I recognize this from Chapter III v. 45 of the Book of the Law. Although Kenneth Grant offers some explanation of it, I'm just not quite sure I get what he means. At the risk of becoming a center of pestilence (and with the understanding that I should probably just meditate on it and arrive at my own interpretation), would anyone be willing to unpack Kenneth Grant's interpretation of this phrase a bit more?

Hi triveni93, I can't tell you Kenneth's - you'd have to ask him or someone who knew him well (and there is probably also a specific interpretation as well as the following) - but I would hazard a guess it's best approached from a perspective of having engaged with such practices as Liber Nu and Liber Had, for long enough to encounter / become that indicated by the name Hadit. That will at least give you a personal way to relate to Kenneth's use of the term (apart from being a powerful practice in itself), i.e. it will become a part of your magical universe, which is what I believe Kenneth may sometimes rely upon for his ideas to hit home. Forgive me if this isn't what you were asking for, there may well be another interpretation that is more accurate than the above.
