Notes on the supreme ritual
And this is the mystery that I declare unto thee: that from the Crown itself spring the three great delusions; Aleph is madness, and Beth is falsehood, and Gimel is glamour. And these three be greater than all, for they are beyond the words that I speak unto thee; how much more therefore are they beyond the words that thou transmittest unto men.

These three be looked at as the first three rabbai who entered paradis. Also Crowley compares them to the first three sections of the Supreme ritual. From the view of a person who has attained the fourth part of the vision, the these are the view points of the first three sections.
1. A, to call out to summon god to the finite place is maddness, for he is everywhere and nowhere.
2. B, to give name to the god, to make it known is falsehood, for who can give god a name?
3. G, to be god alone invoking man is but glamour, a momentary pleasing falsehood.
4. R, to attain to the true realization that all is one and has came into being by the word and is true in its falsehood and all is one, 131.
