THE EQUINOX Axiom II To will evil, is to will death. A perverse will is a begin- ning of suicide. Axiom III To will good with violence, is to will evil, for violence produces disorder, and disorder produces evil. Axiom IV One can, and one should, accept evil as the means of good; but one must never will it or do it, otherwise one would destroy with one hand what one builds with the other. Good faith never justifies bad means; it corrects them when one undergoes them, and condemns them when one takes them. Axiom V To have the right to possess al…

…harried on sexual grounds; let social organi zations honour in public what their members practice in private. Most domestic unhappiness will disappear automatically, for its chief cause is the sexual dissatisfaction of wives, or the anxiety (or other mental strain) engendered should they take the remedy in their own hands. The crime of abortion will lose its motive in all but the most exceptional cases. Blackmail will be confined to commercial and political offences, thus diminishing its frequency by two-thirds, at least, maybe much more. Soci…

THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 27 Aa De Voluntate Tacita (Of the Silent Will) LL Disturbances, o my Son, are Variations from Equilibrium; and just as thy conscious Thoughts, Words, and Acts are Effects of the Displacement of the conscious Will, so is it in the Unconscious. For the most Part, therefore, all Dreams, Phantasies, and Gestures represent that Will subliminal; and if the physical Part of that Will be unsatisfied, its Utterance will predominate in all these automatic Expressions. Do thou then note what Modifications thereof follow such Ch…

THE EQUINOX absolute to do thy will; but seek to do any other thing what- ever, and instantly obstacles must arise. Every act that is not in definite course of that one orbit is erratic, an hin- drance. Will must not be two, but one. Note further that this will is not only to be pure, that is, single, as explained above, but also “unassuaged of pur- pose.” This strange phrase must give us pause. It may mean that any purpose in the will would damp it; clearly the “lust of result” is a thing from which it must be delivered. But the phrase may als…

…hall I use this slug?" And in this course he must persist. Though many things useless, so far as he can see, are sent to him, one day he will find the one thing he needs, while his Understanding will appreciate the fact that none of those other things were useless. So with these early practices of renunciation it will now be clearly understood that they were but of temporary use. They were only of value as training. The adept will laugh over his early absurdities —the disproportions will have been harmonized; and the structure of his soul will …

THE YOGAS Direct experience is the end of Yoga. How can this direct experience be gained? And the answer is: by Concentration or Will. Swami Vivekananda on this point writes: Those who really want to be Yogis must give up, once for all, this nibbling at things. Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual gia…

THE MESSAGE OF THE MASTER THERION This is to be taken as meaning that while Will is the Law, the nature of that Willis Love. But this Love is as it were a by-product of that Will; it does not contradict or supersede that Will; and if apparent contradiction should arise in any crisis, it is the Will that will guide us aright. Lo, while in the Book of the Law is much of Love, there is no word of Sentimentality. Hate itself is almost like Love! Fighting most certainly is Love! “As brothers fight ye!” All the manly races of the world understand thi…
