The Equinox (Volume I, Number VIII)

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING no work is done. There was, however, much question of his position in the mystic hierarchy. He had the highest attainment known—and what did it amount to? In the meantime Fra. D. D. S. himself must have attained Samadhi —presumably Atmadarshana—for we find this entry.) Dec. 7. D. D. S. writes from Samadhi—Dhatu. (Dhatu—literally “ element "—is a word chosen to avoid such implications as would be conveyed by “place," “state," and such words.) ,, 8. D. D. S. still in Samadhi. ,, 10. D. D. S. dined with me. He thinks my attain- ment makes me a Master of the Temple. He goes even further and says that I am the Master—the Logos—the next Buddha. . . . This (apparently some ceremonyof Rose Croix) purifies and consecrates me, so that I feel “I am the Master " quite genuinely—without sample or diffidence. No personality. ,, it. Back to B——. D. D. S.'s amazing third letter. (This letter is too long and personal to pub— lish in full; but it contains these words: “ How long have you been in the Great Order, and why did I not know? Is the invisibility of the A A to lower grades so complete?") In spite of his illness he managed to do some most formidable work during this December. There is, however, nothing further in the diary of interest to our present purpose. 47
