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,
