III    This  is  the  Harmony  of  the  Universe,  that  Love  unites the Will to create with the Understanding of  that Creation: understand thou thine own Will.  Love and let love. Rejoice in every shape of love,  and get thy rapture and thy nourishment thereof      Love, beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, completion, good fortune, graciousness,  elegance, luxury, idleness, dissipation debauchery, friendship, gentleness, delight.    IV    Pour water on thyself thus shalt thou be a Fountain  to the Universe.   Find thou thyself in every Star. Achieve thou every  possibility.      War, conquest, victory, strife, ambition, originality, overweening confidence and mega‐ lomania, quarrelsomeness, energy, vigour, stubbornness, impracticability, rashness, ill‐temper.    V    Offer thyself Virgin to the Knowledge and Conver­ sation of thine Holy Guardian Angel. All else is a  snare.   Be thou athlete with the eight limbs of Yoga: for  without these thou are not disciplined for any fight.      Stubborn strength, toil, endurance, placidity, manifestation, explanation, teaching,  goodness of heart, help from superiors, patience, organization, peace.    VI    The Oracle of the Gods is the Child­ Voice of Love in  Thine own Soul; hear thou it.  Heed not the Siren­Voice of Sense, or the Phantom­ Voice of Reason: rest in Simplicity, and listen to the  Silence.      Openness to inspiration, intuition, intelligence, second sight, childishness, frivolity,  thoughtfulness divorced from practical consideration, indecision, self‐contradiction, union in  a shallow degree with others, instability, contradiction, triviality, the “high‐brow”.    VII
