The Law is for All

Chapter III & Verses 58-60 185 I have myself practiced constantly to prove the Law by many and divers modes in many and divers spheres of thought, until it has become absolutely fixed in me, so much so that it appears an “identical equation,” axiomatic indeed, and yet not a platitude, but a very sword of Truth to sunder every knot at a touch. As the practical ethics of the Law, I have formulated in words of one syllable my declaration of the RIGHTS OF MAN Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. There is no god but Man. Man has the righ…

The Winged Beetle

149 THE PENTAGRAM In the Years of the Primal Course, in the dawn of terrestrial birth, Man mastered the mammoth and horse, and Man was the Lord of the Earth. He made him an hollow skin from the heart of an holy tree, He compassed the earth therein, and Man was the Lord of the Sea. He controlled the vigour of steam, he harnessed the light- ning for hire ; He drove the celestial team ; and Man was the Lord of the Fire.

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

…is the sphinx without a secret, the riddle without an answer, the mystery without truth, the absolute without reality and without light. Man is the son of God because God, manifested, realized, and incarnated upon earth, called Himself the Son of man. It is after having made God in the image of His intelligence and of His love, that humanity has understood the sublime Word who said “ Let there be light!” Man is the form of the divine thought, and God is the idealized synthesis of human thought. Thus the Word of God reveals man, and the Word of …

I am a witch’s sieve to-night, Parched as the lusty Lesbian was for her savage lord, the light ! Ah ! couldst thou slay me and appease—though naught but slaughter serve my turn, I, in an hour that bring thee ease, fret the night’s silk and ache and burn. But now—my whole life stings in me ; a viper violates my veins ; Locusta laughs at Lalage ! a ghoul that sucks at her own brains ! Where is the …

The man who had opened the inner door was clad from neck to knee in a single black robe, without sleeves. From his belt hung a heavy sword with a cross-hilt. This man held up three fingers. Simon Iff again nodded, and led his guests to the room on the left. Here were the three guests indicated by the gesture of the guard. Lord Antony Bowling was a familiar friend of the old mystic.

The Equinox (Volume I, Number III)

THE AGNOSTIC POSITION Direct experience is the key to Yoga; direct experience of that Soul (Atman) or Essence (Purusha) which acting upon Energy (Prana) and Substance (Akasa) differentiates a plant from a stone, an animal from a plant, a man from an animal, a man from a man, and man from God, yet which ultimately is the underlying Equilibrium of all things; for as the Bhaga- vad-Gita says: ‘“ Equilibrium is called Yoga.” Chemically the various groups in the organic and inorganic worlds are similar in structure and composition.
