ECCLESIAE GNOSTICAE CATHOLICAE He rises, takes the Lance, and turns to the PEOPLE. Tue PRIEST. There is no part of me that is not of the Gods. (Those of the PEOPLE who intend to communicate, and none other should be present, having signified their intention, a whole Cake of Light, and a whole goblet of wine, have been prepared for each one. The Deacon marshals them; they advance one by one to the altar. The children take the Elements and offer them. The PEOPLE communicate as did the PRIEST, uttering the same words in an atti- tude of Resurrecti…

…the unreality of the “T” lasts. With the loss of “the ego” comes the consciousness that the whole universe of things and people is but a part of the State then arrived at. That if this little body dies, existence still remains in all the other part of the Universe and therefore the change called Death, occurring in different atoms, all the time, makes no difference. Is there any reason why one should not look upon every- thing and everybody as parts of Oneself, since one is equally willing to allow any other body to consider you as a part of th…

…soar beyond illusions, search the eternal and the changeless SAT, mistrusting fancy’s false suggestions. Compare what is said in Book 4, Part II, about the Sword. In the last part of the verse the adjuration is somewhat obvi- ous, and it must be remembered that with progress the realm of Maya constantly expands as that of Sat diminishes. In orthodox Buddhism this process continues indefinitely. There is also the resolution SAT= ASAT. 12. For mind is like a mirror; it gathers dust while it re- flects. It needs the gentle breezes of Soul-wisdom t…

… is supposed to be with regard to any given piece of instruction. 15. Before thou canst approach the foremost gate thou hast to learn to part thy body from thy mind, to dissipate the shadow, and to live in the eternal. For this, thou hast to live and breathe in all, as all that thou perceivest breathes in thee; to feel thyself abiding in all things, all things in self. In verse 13 we were told to master the Paramitas before approaching the last gate. Now the author harks back to what he had to do before he approached the first gate, but this ma…

…d the End. In this par- ticular passage it is however principally synonymous with Will, and Will has been so fully dealt with in Book 4, Part II, that it will save trouble if we assume that the reader is fa- miliar with that masterpiece. (Subsection VI.) This, too, has been carefully described in Book 4, Part I. There is a distinction between Buddhist ‘Jhana’ and San- skrit ‘Dhyana,’ though etymologically the former is a cor- ruption of the latter. The craze for classification which obsesses the dull minds of the learned has been peculiarly per…

…dered and ready for the Alchemy of the Great Work. Thave already written to you of how, in the Will of Love, Light ariseth as the secret part of Life. And in the first, the little, Loves, the attained Life is still personal: later, it be- cometh impersonal and universal. Now then is Will arrived, mayI say so, at its magnetic pole, whence the lines of force point alike every way and no way: and Love also is no more a work, but a state. These qualities are become part of the Universal Life, which proceedeth infinitely with the enjoy- ment of the …

…uld have no difficulty so far as a general comprehension of the subject-matter of the Book is concerned. Too ruddy a cheerfulness on the part of the assiduous one will however be premature, to say the least. For the fact is that this treatise does not contain an intelligible and coherent cos- mogony. The unfortunate Lanoo is in the position of a sea- captain who is furnished with the most elaborate and detailed sailing-instructions, but is not allowed to have the slightest idea of what port he is to make, still less given a chart of the Ocean. …

… every man and every woman is a star, and that every one’s will is the will of God; at least, he does not seem settled about it. In some parts of his book he makes statements which certainly imply that this is so, but in others he appears too conscious of dividuality. He does not always make it perfectly clear that evil so-called is part of the game, which he describes as the ‘thought of God.’ We have no doubt that as he progresses, he will attain this clearer conception of the magical doctrine. He has already gone very far. His interpretation,…

…am not sorry.” This letter from Fra P.A. giving new practice, etc., com- bined with some considerable dissatisfaction on Frater V.1.0.’s part, regarding his present state, caused him to un- dertake another regular spell of work for 32 days, after which he seems to have recorded very little until March 25 in the following year, viz., 1912. He then experimented with SSS section of Liber HHH, from Egu1nox V. and obtained automatic rigidity. He writes: “(1) Brain became charged with electric fluid or Prana, in fact whole face and hands became as if…

…rrincton. Dodd, Mead & Co., Inc. Tuts book is an extremely interesting and valuable contribution to the science of the future. The first part of it, which relates to normal psychology, is ex- tremely well compiled, and offers a capital picture of the peculiar phenomena which accompany combat under modern conditions. It is a serious study of ac- tuality, entirely free from the pathological point of view of people like Barbusse on one hand, or the average newspaper correspondent on the other. The second and larger part of the book deals with vari…

This is another little gem, which is dished-up as part of the “proof of immor- tality”: “Mamma gave some advice and now comes to help in the work of proving that the love and care and interest does not cease at death but all is intensified and de- sires become actions and have effect in friends and loved ones.

… the Wise. The question always arises: For what grade is this Book meant? To give one simple concrete example, it is stated in the third part of this treatise that Change is the great enemy. This is all very well as meaning that one ought to stick to one’s job. But in another sense Change is the Great Friend. As it is marvelous well shewed forth by The Beast Himself in Liber Aleph, Love is the law, and Love is Change, by definition. Short of writing a sepa- rate interpretation suited for every grade, therefore, the commentator is in a bog of qu…
