THE EQUINOX Eguinox I. V., Supplement) gives the clearest explanation of this phrase. 22. Three Halls, O weary Pilgrim, lead to the end of toils. Three Halls, O conqueror of Mara, will bring thee through three states into the fourth, and thence into the seven Worlds, the Worlds of Rest Eternal. If this had been a genuine document I should have taken the three states to be Srotapatti, etc., and the fourth Arhat, for which the reader should consult ‘Science and Buddhism’ and similar treatises. But as it is better than ‘genuine,’ be- ing, like ‘Th…

Thyself and mind, like twins upon a line, the Star whichis thy goal burns overhead. The Three that dwell in glory and in bliss ineffable, now in the World of Méyé have lost their names. They have be- come one Star, the fire that burns but scorches not, that fire which is the Upadhi of the Flame. It would be a mistake to attach more than a poetic mean- ing t…

…one of another; man is but a map of the universe, and Society is but the same on a larger scale. “Learn then that our Holy Order has but Three True Grades; as it is written in the Book of the Law: The Hermit, The Lover, and the Man of Earth. “It is but for convenience that these grades have been separated into Three Triads. “The Third Triad consists of the degrees from Minerval to Prince of Jerusa- lem. The Minerval degree is a Prologue to the First; the degrees subsequent to the Third but pendants to it. In this, the Man of Earth series, there…

This aspiration was, as we shall see, fulfilled three years later, when he had an oppor- tunity to become a Probationer of the A..A.., and immedi- ately grasped it; but during those three years his researches led him into varied paths:—Spiritualism, Faithism and other Isms on the one hand, and ‘The Europe,’ ‘The Leicester,’ and ‘The Cosy Corner’ on the other: last, but not least, into Mar- riage, a difficult thing to put on one side and perhaps best left on…

The meaning is again very much confused by the would- be poetic diction, but it is quite clear that desire of any kind must not interfere with this intensely intellectual medita- tion; and of course the whole object of it is to refrain from preferring any one thing to any other thing. When it says that “A thought as fleeting as the lightning flash will make thee t…

… able: the necessity of so doing is strong within Him, and He may perhaps even imagine that He can make one which shall be free from the Three Characteristics. Evelyn Hall —an early love of mine—used to say: “God Almighty—or words to that effect—has no conscience”; and in the tre- mendous state of mind in which He is, a state of Cosmic priapism, He may very likely see red, care nothing for what may result to Himself or His victim, and, violently project- ing Himself on the Akasa, may fertilize it, and the Universe begin once more.

I cannot talk of what has happened during those three days, it seems useless to try and do so, in fact it seems useless to make this entry at all except that J know not what is before me, and I feel that had I (or if I) lived longer upon this planet it would have been my life work, indeed it must have been, to help others to the Path.

If ye know not this, ye know less than All. Seek ever for the Absolute, and be content with Nothing less. By the end of September the immediate results of this first Illumination seem to have worn off, and we find Frater V.1.O. striving desperately to estimate the value of what had happened to him.
