The First Principles of Thelema are unchanging throughout all of Crowley’s life. In fact, one could argue that these principles represent the hidden skeleton of all Crowley’s thought. Every paradigm he encountered he reinterpreted in light of these ideas.
The First Principles can be summarized by “0.12”
0 = Nuit, the infinite Nothing as Object, the Qabalistic Zero
. = Hadit, the infinite Nothing as Subject, also the Qabalistic Zero.

The First Principles of Thelema are: 0) The Absolute & ultimate reality is Zero (specifically 0 extended in no categories). This is represented by Nuit (the infinite expanse/object), Hadit (the infinitely contracted point-of-view), and Horus (as conjunction of Nuit & Hadit).
The particular form of Horus attributed to 0 is Hoor-paar-kraat, Lord of Silence.
1) Horus as Ra-Hoor-Khuit represents the positive conjunction of Nuit and Hadit. Ra-Hoor-Khuit is the God, or Star, or monad. Each Star has a unique point-of-view, or Hadit, at its core.
