…er with blood up to your waist, and you cross your legs, and then they put a rope round one ankle and swing you off. I had such a pretty white petticoat on, and my Prince said I looked just like a white pyramid with a huge red cross on the top of it, which made me ever so glad, because now I knew I should be the Saviour of the World, which is what one wants to be, isn’t it? Only sometimes the world means all the other children in the dream, and sometimes the dream itself, and sometimes the wake-things one sees before one is quite, quite awake. …

…hing else whatever. If I enter thy laboratory, 0 Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry, who protestest that thou dost aspire to the Great White Brotherhood, and demand of thee, “ What are thou doing?” wilt thou reply, “I am extracting the enzymes from this ferment,” or rather, “I am aspiring to the Great White Brotherhood ”? And if that question puzzle thee, as well it may, seeing that either answer is in some sense or other a lie—then see to it, I say, that thou lie not to the Holy Ghost! Shakespeare is perhaps thought by some (may it be credit…

…tuffed with pork sausages and olives; and some of the girls cut off chops and steaks from their own bodies, and gave them to a beautiful white cook at a silver grill, that was lighted with the gas of dead bodies and marshes; and be cooked them splendidly, and we all enjoyed it immensely. Then there was a tame goat with a gold collar, that went about laugh ing with every one; and he was all shaved in patches like a poodle. We kissed him and petted him, and it was lovely. You must remember that I never let go of my Fairy Prince for a single insta…

Like smart and punctual business men, They sent a man round there and then. How gladly reverent doth he greet The sage’s venerable feet! But in a while suspicion grows. “ This fellow, now, by Jove, who knows? Perhaps he too is in the Plot. 1 like Scotch \Vhisky: he does not. He prefers Job to Second Kings. We disagree on many things.” He sniffed around the Adept (who lay low). He searched hi…

…; the first a ravening disease, The cold corrupting masterpiece of Christ the god of weeping fools! The second, bright as burning coal, a white and wanton wolf of sin Who had an icy flame within the ulcer that she called her soul. Long years he bent him to the task; he worked his torture and his lust Out of the horror of the dust into the horror of the mask. The mewing lecherous devils crept out of the strongholds of the hills, And filled their blood with noisome thrills before the work of the adept. The ghuls that gloat on corpses cold would gath…

… has snatched the fire from the secret place of God's glory, and bro ht it down in the hollow tube of his ecstasy-waking flute, and in the white chalice o God’s awful Dawn, he now offers them the wine of the Via Lactea caught from the rosy nipples of the Virgin of the World, of which he hath drunk, whereby the heart of man is glad. The ATHEIST says: A capital exposition. . . . Far as we are from admiring the dreamy romanticism of Captain Fuller’s hero, his staunch denial of the supernatural, the divine, the mystical, must command our respect and …

O laughter of delicious boys that bring the cup and pour the wine And with their rosy limbs entwine fresh garlands of mirific joys! The boy is prone upon the sand; he lies as one who nestles in Some arbour delicate of sin built by the Everlasting Hand. His lover is the Open Eye, that kindles Light within the Abyss, And wakes wi…

…er. MRS. BONES strokes his marble brow. Now it hath occurred that some of the younger Adepts, the light hearted and foolish of the Great White Brotherhood, those who slip back oftenest to normal consciousness of the Universe, so that even their pure wings are soiled in the mire of sense, perception, reason, and their foul kind, some of those boys, I say, forget the Writing on the outer Veil of the Indicible Arcanum, that rune which is written, “No separate existence!” in golden letters on the silver of the veil (just as within is written “No ex…

…therhood until you have genuinely conquered the Illusion of the Pairs of Opposites. Truthfulness and Lying are just as much opposites as white and black, good and evil—— Bones. I sometimes doubt if any of these are opposites at all. Next time you run up to Kether, look down the Tree and see what Truth looks like from there! Take the case of heat and cold, at one time the typical opposites. Nowadays we conceive of a hot body as one in violent internal motion, a cold body as in moderate motion. Bowley. Fast and slow. Bones. Or even (to allow the …

…ttle who champions either; rather snare both, tame both, ride both, as the charioteer of the Tarot with the opposing sphinxes, black and white. Nor, 0 man, believe thou that finality is anywhere to be reached in words. I balance A and not-A (a), and finding both false, both true, transcend with B. But whatever B is, it is as false and true as b ; we reach C. So from C to c, and for ever. Not, as Hegel thought, until we reach an idea in which no seed of self-contradiction lurks; for that can never be. The thinkable is false, then? (once more!) _Ye…

Hence the Rose and Cross, Sphinx and Pyramid, Sulphur and Salt, Black and White Pillars of the temple—in short, all the “pairs of opposites” in the world. (Politely, to the big man.) As you were saying just now. Their literature? hinted the scholar. Basil took up the glove. The Eastern is such a paradox that one hates to lay down the law. A Sufi (for example) no doubt writes erotic verse for the divine reason I have stated; but also, I believe him to be very glad of the excuse, becau…

…ther God but he—for such a thought is hardly an illusion—but Bones must not and shall not think that there is an opposition of black and white, good and evil, truth and falsehood. One of our weaker brethren (and I alas! had relied on him as strong among the strong 1) recently plumed himself vastly on this per ception of the Illusion of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil— though “Why in the name of Glory was he proud?” considering that he had the authentic dictum of very Tikkunim for referring that Tree to Malkuth, the first and easiest broke…

The charioteer is a most curious person; he is a great big crab in the most lovely glittering armour, and he can just drivel His name is the mysterious name I told you about with eleven letters in it, but we call him Jehu for short, because he’s only nineteen years old. It’s important to know though because this journey is the most diflicult of all, and without the chariot one couldn’t ever ever do it, because it is so far—much farther than the heaven is from the earth in the dream world.

… British public? Before Mafeking night we knew quite well what it was. The female part of it was Mrs. Grundy, the well-known old lady in white cotton stockin , elastic-side boots, stuffy petticoats, and a grim determination to give everyone a bit of her mind. The male gart of it was an idealistic old gentleman of prolific habits with a thetic faith in the ritish constitution, and a habit of locking up the house at ten o’c ock every weekday and at half-past nine on Sunday. This British Androgyne has vanished, and we are ruled instead by a protean…
