MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS
I know I'm a disheartening kind of a bloke, and it does
seem so unfriendly to jump down a fellow's throat every
minute or so when she tries to put it ever so nicely, and it is
so easy-isn't
it-to play the game of Sanctimonious
Grandiloquence, and surely what was said was perfectly
harmless, and ...
No, N.O., no: not harmless at all. My whole object is to
train you to silence every kind of hypothetical speculation,
and formulae both resonant and satisfying. I want you to-
abhor them
abominate them
despise them
detest them
eschew them
hate them
loathe them
and da capo
and to get on with your practice. Then when you get the
results, you can try, albeit uselessly, to fit your own words to
the facts, if you should wish to communicate , for any good
reason, your experiences to other people .
Then despairing of your impotence, how glad you will be
that you have been trained not to let anyone fob you off
with phrases.
Love is the law, love under will.
Fraternally yours,
