Chapter V from Crowley's Magick in Theory and Practice The Formula of I.A.O.

My English is not "that" good and I have trouble comprehending this one so can anyone care to summarise what is this chapter all about in simple everyday English please?

Briefly, I was told that it's about death, and rebirth before achieving the result of a working - probably one of the applications of the IAO formula (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused012.gif)

a few applications of the formula may explain what i understand the formula to be:

in experience
I- Innocence
A- Knowledge
O- Wisdom

in alchemy
I- Prima Materia
A- Solve (Dissolving)
O- Coagula (Rebuilding)

in relation to botany (and the 3 fathers?)
I- Bud
A-Flower
O-Seed

in initiation
I- Ego
A- Adversary
O-Growth

it is one of the most general formuli (perhaps underlying all others) and we encounter it every moment of every day.

I also can see a connection between the shapes of the letters I-Hadit (the sacrifice of the father's wand), O-Nuit (the fulfillment of the mother's cup) and A-RaHoorKhuit (the child of thier ecstasy).
