MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS
letter.) The theory appears to be that, although your effort to
save yourself is successful, it is bound to create a disturbance
of equilibrium elsewhere, with results equally disastrous.
Even more so; it might be that to be eaten by a tiger is just
what you needed in your career through the incarnations; at
that moment there might well be a vacancy somewhere
exactly where it will do most good to your Great Work.
When you press on one spot, you make a corresponding bulge
in another, as we often see a beautiful Lady, unhappy about
her waist-line, adopt drastic measures, and transform herself
into the semblance of a Pouter Puffin!
In theory, I am particularly pleased about this Method,
because it goes for everybody, requires no knowledge, no
technical training, "no nuffin." All the same, it won't do for
me, except in a much modified form, and in very special
cases; because no course of action (or inaction) is conceivable
that would do great violence to my nature.
So let me worry along, please, with the accent on the
"along"; I will grin and bear it, or, if it gets so bad that I
can't do my Work, I will make the necessary effort to abate
the nuisance, always most careful to do as little damage as
possible to the main current of my total Energy.
Love is the law, love under will.
Yours fraternally,
