MORALITY (2) 
427 
Soap! Yes, indeed. I work on gold, and gold must be 
cleansed with acid. 
I really cannot understand how you can be so inaccurate, 
with the very text before your eyes! You write- "you write 
that in Jan. 1899 etc." But I don't. Captain J.F.C. Fuller 
wrote it. A small point; but you must learn to be careful 
about every tiniest detail. 
Then you go on about "not only invisible chiefs l of the 
A:. A: .... but also the Chiefs of the Golden Dawn .. . " The 
Golden Dawn is merely the name for the Outer Order: see 
Magick pp. 230-231. You have never been taught to read 
carefully. You write of Theoricus as the grade following 
Neophyte ; it isn't. Back to Magick pp. 230-231! 
You have never taken the trouble to go with me through 
the Rituals of O.T.O., or you would not ask such questions. 
The O.T.O. is a training of the Masonic type; there is no 
"astral" work in it at all, nor any Yoga. There is a certain 
amount of Qabalah, and that of great doctrinal value. But the 
really vital matter is the gradual progress towards disclosure 
of the Secret of the Ninth Degree. To use that secret to 
advantage involves mastery both of Yoga and of Magick; but 
neither is taught 
in the Order. Now it comes to be 
mentioned, this is really very strange. However, I didn't 
invent the system; I must suppose that those who did knew 
what they were about. 
To me it is (a) convenient in various practical ways, (b) a 
machine for carrying out the orders of the Secret Chiefs of 
A:. A:. (c) by virtue of the Secret a magical weapon of 
incalculable power. 
You are not "stuck ." You can use your Astral Body well 
enough: too well, in one way. But I think you need a few 
more journeys with me: you ought to get on to the stage 
where the vision results from a definite invocation. 
1. How do you know They are "invisible"? I foresee that sooner or later you will 
be asking for more information about them, so I am planning a separate letter to 
supply this.-
