Each lesson begins with an abstraction, the first being the most direct. It is also the longest of the verses. This can only stress its overall importance; indeed, it is prime among other messages and prime among the philosophy of the Sixth House. Pain, from the lesson, we come to understand as a changing force. A necessary resultant of a transformation which leads to some for of ascension. After much thought, it is the opinion of this scholar that the verse refers to embracing the Sharmatic disease once known as Corprus. If this hypothesis is true, it would appear the Sixth House stressed it as a required step towards divinity.

The use of the term "Doom Drum" is a clear reference to Lorkhan, the trickster who created mortality. Extrapolating the notion of a drumbeat, we come to the tale of Trinimac's removal of Lorkhan's Heart. We are then drawn to the tale of Red Mountain and the folly of the Dwemer but for purposes that remain unclear to us. Perhaps they serve as a warning. There is also the suggestion of a cyclical nature to sound and "aurals made keen" that implies a fatalistic belief in the affairs of the world. However, the message to "learn your cadence" and refuse music appears to be a command, perhaps by the Sharmat himself, to stand firmly against the idea of fate.

It is hard for us to believe that this lesson is not from the Ash Mender himself, known as he is for his ability to forge near perfect blades. In this case, the blade is the self, which must be maintained through continual trial. To become a walking forge seems to apply to matters of will power and self determinance. Look for flaws and mend them. This lesson comes passing strange for the Sixth House which appeared, at least outwardly, to embrace decay.

Here the previous lesson is elucidated through the application of the next. If the third lesson is a command to be mindful of the self and build it up, the fourth is meant to extol the virtue of first enduring hardship of a most severe quality. This likely ties into the lesson of Pain. We begin to paint a picture of the Sixth House's path to divinity. One must break themselves, embrace the suffering therein, and then prove strong enough to recover if they wish to move closer to godliness.

Without a doubt, the lessons build on each other in this first section and we get a clear confirmation of my previous extrapolation. The Sixth House scorns perfection in favor of a sort of cleansing decay.

This is actually the first "Lesson Six". There are two. Which makes the so called Thirty Six Lessons a lie. They are thirty seven if the each of the double six is counted as one. In the case of this lesson, we have a clear message to spread the teaching of the Sixth House to others. We offer the suggestion that this lesson also speaks of the necessity to spread the Corprus.

The purpose of the double six comes to light in this passage. Mathematics is of grave importance to the Sixth House and there is an associated magical efficacy given the the number. A fellow scholar has suggested that the double six is little more than a mistake on the part of the author but we contest that suggestion. It seems clear to us that any usage of the hexad signifies a matter of grave importance.

It is tempting to suggest that this is a mere comment on iconoclasm or strict social strata but that notion cannot hold up long considering the Sixth House's strict emphasis on roles and duties. It is our supposition that this lesson is meant to be applied to those outside of the House. Entities such as the Temple and dynasties like that of the Septims. A call to tear down society much like the other lessons call for a sundering of the self. Yet, it is important to note that notion of a king appears later on, apparently in reference to the Sharmat himself.

This remains one of the most elusive lessons within the text and we struggle greatly to provide a succinct explanation to its meaning. Conversation with the Bifold has led us to belief this is a reference to the Endeavor but our lord, in his wisdom, would not elaborate further.

We are granted, fortunately, with a rather direct lesson in this case. While it is possible to be patient, the individual is limited when compared to creation. Yet, the Blighted Remantler takes time to note that even nature is imperfect. Not knowing the Sixth House's beliefs regarding Nirn and the Aurbis makes this comment problematic to say the least.

This is another reference to the number six. We presume three is meant to invoke ALMSIVI but that the doubling implies the belief in the Sharmat's supremacy. Seven hundred and twenty is the hexad degree, again stressing the Sixth House'a dominance.

A direct lesson on the value of subterfuge. What the Sixth House values is immaterial.

One of the more problematic lessons. There is a value placed on individuals with ambition but the notion of a soul cage provides difficulty. Peers suggest this is a reference to soul gems yet I remain unconvinced. Taking into account the next lesson, I believe this is literal and that those touched by the Sharmat could interact directly with each other's souls.

Thus follows my justification for my anolysis of the previous lesson. Magic is said to be the soul's calculus, sprung from the ego of the individual. It is an extension of the soul itself and does not come from an external source. Therefore, I hypothesize that members of the Sixth House shared souls to power their magical endeavors. This could explain the abundance of Dreamers; living soul factories.

This appears, at first, to be a contradiction of lesson eleven but examination suggest it is advice on how to avoid the folly of trust. It remains unclear what it means to "reverse the formula" but we posit that it refers to how Sharmatic magic functions. Without a detailed treatise, however, we cannot begin to grasp the details of anathemathematics.

This appears to be a lesson on how to deal with daedric princes. We presume the Sharmat is the king in this lesson but not the king in lesson seven. To gain insight, we deferred to the wisdom of Divayth Fyr who seems eminently confident this is a lesson on protonymics.

This lesson is another of the document's most direct. A glorification of the ego, it calls on members of the Sixth House to reject all but themselves. We admit to some confusion as to what this means for their relationship to the Sharmat.

An apparent connection to lesson two and the reference to the Doom Drum but it may also be interpreted as a damning of conscience.

There is a possible connection to the affliction suffered by the so called Dreamers within this lesson but the value of the number six also brings to mind tales of prominent members of the Sixth House. Dagoth Nilor could lie so perfectly that his falsehoods were given physical presence on Nirn. Is this a subset of the power of dreams? We cannot say but it is clear that dreaming "six times straight" is a feat of note.

This seems to be a natural result of applying lesson seventeen. Ignoring the music of the heart leads to perpetual terror. This is offered as a positive.

We admit that this passage marks the turn in the lessons where our ability to divine meaning begins to waver. This is either a literal reference to a person's age or a reference to eras. Regardless, it is hard to discern what this has to do with location and geography.

We have been instructed by our Bifold lord to offer no elaboration on this passage on penalty of death.

Immediately there is a question of if this passage refers to our Clockwork lord Sotha Sil but it is unclear which of the two entities is considered stronger out of the heart or the clock. Given its prevalence elsewhere, we humbly suggest that, for the Sixth House, it is the heart.

Another obscure lesson which we believe is tied to the lesson of pain. Yet, this makes it seem redundant. Without knowing the significance of coal to the Sixth House, it remains nearly impossible to derive true meaning from this lesson.

Among the most difficult of the passages. Vehk and Vehk referred us to his twelfth sermon. This proved moderately sufficient for us to understand there is a connection to royalty. It is possibly a lesson, once again, about the power of a king but what form that power takes, we are not certain.

Extensive conversation with Vehk and Vehk alongside Divayth Fyr elucidated us to the nature of the Towers. A most interesting knowledge that many are ignorant of. The Sixth House did not fear their collapse and the ramifications therein but believed they might hold up the world with their own creations. We make the bold assertion that this was one of the purposes of the Akulakhan, besides mere conquest.

This remains the one lesson we have no hypothesis for. The Sun is the abstract of the lesson, referring to a woman. Who this woman is, we cannot say. Our best postulations are Azura, whose sphere is that of Dawn and Dusk or Meridia, the Lady of Infinite Energies.

A surprisingly succinct message that almost serves to undermine the lessons themselves. Words are insufficient to express the realities that surround us.

This is another difficult lesson to extrapolate. In anathemathematic, there are null sets of negligibility. How this applies to the mathmagicks of the Sixth House is entirely indiscernible to us. Perhaps a method of anti-creation?

A stressing of the value of action over the value of words.

Seemingly a lesson meant to applied in conjuncture with lesson ten in order to reach the number six.

An odd call for restraint against the enemies of the Sixth House. The Nerevarine notes that in their journey, the were often treated with hospitality by the Hexad Lords.

A call for creation and the application of individual skills. The skillsets of the Sixth House were varied and experimentation was encouraged, by all records we could find.

A comment on the illusory nature of the world. Seemingly at odds with other lessons but the more we delve into the philosophy of the Sixth House, the more it becomes clear that they believe themselves an extension of something called UR. Seemingly, they believe they are merely aspects of the Sharmat? This line of inquiry requires more investigation.

Presumably connected to lesson twenty eight and the associated magicks.

I remain convinced this is a message from Soler himself about hunting down the rest of the Sharmat's servants.

A stressing of the power of math, which can then be applied to the lessons as see above. There is the impaction that the world contains explicit patterns and values. We are led to assume the prevalence of six within the document is a none too subtle revelation of the most important pattern to observe.
