			From Liber L vel Legis<br>
			Sub figura XXXI:<br>
			<blockquote>
			"None, breathed the light, faint & faery, of<br>
			the stars, and two. For I am divided<br>
			for love's sake, for the chance of union."</blockquote>

			==Mathematical Formula==

			The formula '''0=2''' represents a cycle frequently used to describe the mystical result of yoga or sex magick. It may properly be linked to the concept of yin and yang.

			The first half of the cycle deals with ascent from the normal to the supernal: the normal result of forcing two equal and opposite things to combine is annihilation of both values. This results in a zero sum.

			The other half of the cycle is less readily understood as it deals with the descent from the supernal to the normal: the supernal result of a true union (through love) restores the values to the annihilated opposites, but in doing so sums the absolute values. This results in a sum of two.

			A means of expressing this is as a pair of equations, which may demonstrate the change of perspective expressed in <i>[[Liber Legis]]</i>.

	~~{{numbers}}~~		<blockquote>'''0 = (+1) + (-1)'''         <i>(combination of the original values of polar opposites resulting in annihilation of its members)</i><br></blockquote>
			<blockquote>       '''\|+1\| + \|-1\| = 2'''   <i>(union of the absolute values of polar opposites resulting in the restoration of the members)</i></blockquote>

	~~The formula~~ '''0=2''' ~~represents the union of opposites. When two opposing things combine, they become annihilated into nothingness. This describes the mystical result of yoga or sex magick.~~		Thus yielding:<br>
			<blockquote>'''0 = (+1) + (-1) «=» \|+1\| + \|-1\| = 2'''</blockquote>

	~~A more accurate mathematical representation~~ of the ~~formula would~~ be ~~'''0 = +1 + -1'''~~.		This is actually an oversimplification of the actual underlying [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory set theory], but the above should be sufficient for most purposes of understanding.

	Another way of expressing this mathematically that may be even more precise is as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_value absolute value] of the positive and negative terms. The resulting equation would therefore be:<br>
	~~'''0 = \|+1\| + \|-1\| = 2'''~~
