The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

…iverse, moveable and immoveable, is from me; all things are seen through me; all are absorbed into me;* because there exists nothing but spirit, and “I am that spirit.” There exists nothing else. 35. As in innumerable cups full of water, many reflections of the sun are seen, but the substance is the same; similarly individuals, like cups, are innumerable, but the vivifying spirit like the sun is one. 49. All this universe, moveable or immoveable, has come out of Intelligence. Renouncing everything else, take shelter of it. 50. As space pervades…

…s a tiny crack. A tiny, tiny crack. Barely an inch of it. Well, the matter was easily remedied. As it chanced, there was a dainty little Spirit (with gossamer wings like a web of steel, and scarlet tissue of silk for his robes) flitting about, brandishing his tiny sword and spear in a thoroughly warlike manner. “Shun!” said the Great White Spirit. “ By the right, dress! “ Sappers, one pace forward, march ! “ Prepare to stop leak! “ Stop leak !” But the matter was not thus easily settled. After five hours’ strenuous work, the little spirit was e…

…did he work with his divine power—and yet that little crack was in nowise filled, but rather widened ! The god returned. ‘‘O Great White Spirit!” he whispered —and the Universe shook with fear at the voice of him— “Thou, and Thou alone, art worthy to fill this little crack that Thou hast left.” Then the Great White Spirit arose and formulated Himself as the Pillar of Infinitude, even as the Mahalingam of Great Shiva the Destroyer, who openeth his eye, and All is Not. And behold! He was balanced in the crack, and the void was filled, and Nature …

…uth comes out. How many more such prophecies as these may have been rejected through the gross habit of the body we may never know until spirit vindicates her claim in a court where she must have audience. In this world we are but half spirit; we are thus able to hold only the perceptions and emotions of half an orb. Once fully rounded into symmetry ourselves, we shall have strength to bear the pressure of influences from a whole sphere of truth and loveliness. It is this present half-developed state of ours which makes the infinitude of the ha…

…Sword and balance of Justice. Mighty and golden were his wide-flashing wings! Terrible in his might, he bowed low before the Great White Spirit, and proceeded to carry out the order. For five and twenty years he toiled at the so easy task; then, flinging down his weapons in a rage, he returned before the face of his Master and, trembling with passion, cast him- self down in wrath and despair. “Pah!” said the Great White Spirit with a smile; “I might have known better than to employ a low material creature like yourself. Send Graphiel to Me!” Th…

…e cried strongly, “this is a task for Kamael the mighty and all his host of Seraphim !” “T will employ them on it,” said the Great White Spirit. Then the skies flamed with wrath ; for Kamael the mighty and his legions flew from the South, and saluted their Creator. Behold the mighty one, behold Kamael the strong! His crownless head was like a whirling wheel of amethyst, and all the forces of the earth and heaven revolved therein. His body was the mighty Sea itself, and it bore the scars of crucifixion that had made it two score times stronger t…

…ay, it seemed bigger than before—a very gape in the womb of the Universe. Crestfallen, Kamael the mighty returned before the Great White Spirit, his serpents drooping behind him; and they grovelled before the throne of that All-powerful One. He dismissed them with a short laugh, and a wave of His right hand. If He was disturbed, He was too proud to show it. “This,” he said to himself, “is clearly a matter for Elohim Gibor.” Therefore He summoned that divine power before Him. The crown of Elohim Gibor was Space itself; the two halves of his brai…

…ll-known to the readers of THE EQUINOX. His charm lays principally in the independence of his thought, the delicacy of his touch, in his spirit of pure joy, in his most holy childishness. He shows certainly a great lack of literary experience, an accumulation of various contra- dictory feelings which seem to fight one another for the conquest of his spirit. The scientific training of our order will give him that Mastery over self which alone can bring forth the full blossom of his rich imagination. There is every reason for us to expect much of…

He had done an honest six days’ work if ever a man did; yet in such physical training was He from His lengthy “cure” in that fashionable Spa Pralaya that he was not in the least fatigued. It was the Loi du Répos Hebdomadaire that had made Him throw down His tools. “ Anyway, the job’s finished!” He said, looking round Him complacently. Even His critical eye assured Him that …

… hideously with black. “My Remenu!” she said. “After so long!” He whispered in her ear. The light behind her flickered and went out. The spirit laid her violin and bow upon the ground. The music went on—a panting, hot melody like mad eagles in death struggle with mountain goats, like serpents caught in jungle fires, like scorpions tormented by Arab girls. And in the dark she sobbed and screamed in unison. She had not expected this: she had dreamt of love more pas- sionate, of lust more fierce-fantastic, than aught mortal. And this? This real lo…
