KE@®AAH KA THE HAWK AND THE BLINDWORM This book would translate Beyond-Reason into the words of Reason. Explain thou snow to them of Andaman. The slaves of reason call this book Abuse-of- Language: they are right. Language was made for men to eat and drink, make love, do barter, die. The wealth of a language consists in its Abstracts; the poorest tongues have wealth of Concretes. Therefore have Adepts praised silence; at least it does not mislead as speech does. Also, Speech is a symptom of Thought. Yet, silence is but the negative side of Trut…

KE@AAH I WINDLESTRAWS The Abyss of Hallucinations has Law and Reason; but in Truth there is no bond between the Toys of the Gods. This Reason and Law is the Bond of the Great Lie. Truth! Truth! Truth! crieth the Lord of the Abyss of Hallucinations. There is no Silence in that Abyss: for all that men call Silence is Its Speech.

Yet a Looby to thee, and a Booby to me, a Balassius Ruby to GOD, may be!

KE®@AAH M THE HIMOG" A red rose absorbs all colours but red; red is therefore the one colour that it is not. This Law, Reason, Time, Space, all Limita- tion blinds us to Truth. AJl that we know of Man, Nature, God, is just that which they are not; it is that which they throw off as repugnant. The HIMOG is only visible insofar as He is imperfect. Then are they all glorious who seem not to be glorious, as the HIMOG is All-glorious Within? It may be so. How then distinguish the inglorious and per- fect HIMOG from the inglorious man of earth?

…so many a universe.” — The New Age. **The light wherein he writes is the L.U.X. of that, which first mastering and then transcending the reason, illumines all the darkness caused by the interference of the opposite waves of thought. Itis one of the most suggestive definitions of KONX—the L.U.X. of the Brethren of the Rosy Cross—that it transcends all the possible pairs of opposites. Nor does this sound nonsensical to those who are acquainted with that L.U.X. But to those who do not it must remain as obscure and ridicu- lous as spherical trigono…
