These are real, these illusion: I am of them, false or frail, True or lasting, all is fusion in the spirit’s shadow-veil, Till the Knowledge-Lotus flowering hides the world beneath its stem ; END OF Neither I, nor God life-showering, find a counterpart in them. As a spirit in a vision shows a countenance of fear, Laughs the looker to derision, only comes to disappear, Gods and mortals, mind and matter, in the slowing bud dissever : Vein from vein they rend and shatter, and are nothingness for ever.

But can any of the effects described in this our book Goetia be obtained, and if so, can you give a rational explanation of the circum- stances? Say you so? I can, and will.
