…t he has to offer could possibly redeem them. The end of his letter 45 is adequate reminder of what he stood for: "to advance-that means Work. Patient, exhausting, thankless, often bewildering Work. Dear sister, if you would but Work! Work blindly, foolishly, misguidedly, it doesn't matter in the end: Work in itself has absolute virtue." Of course the work that he refers to is spiritual work-meditation, Yoga, Magick, in all phases and varieties. Work, not intellectualization. In the footnote to that same letter, he gives a quick rundown of some…

Deem not that prayer or sacrifice Will ever cause the work to end! Serene, sufficient, let it rise Alone; it doth not ask a friend, © Nor shall it bend a fatuous knee To a fantastic deity. What crest or chrism were so good To work as Art, the crown upon Work’s brow? Thy will with love endued Lift up this loftier Parthenon! Thine art the consecrative oil To hallow us the Tower of Toil! 19

THE STUMBLING-BLOCK. I ALMOST wonder if I ought To hymn this height of human pain: To enter into Jones’s thought I’d have to work with Jones’s brain. Terrestrial speech is wholly vain To carry meaning as it ought :— To enter into Jones’s thought I'd have to work with Jones’s brain. This is the High God’s cruel sport: To enter into Jones’s thought And make its inner meaning plain, I’d have to work with Jones’s brain. 3o0

… of my Wage, taking this Body immediately after my Death, the Death of Eliphas Levi Zahed, as Men say, that I might attain to this great Work. It is now twenty Years, as Men count years, that I came to my first Understanding of my true Nature, and aspired to that Work. Now then at first I made no Error. I abandoned my chosen Career; I poured out my whole Fortune without one Thought; I gave my Life utterly to the Work, without keeping back the least imaginable Thing. So then I made swift Strides along the Path. But in the Dhyanas that were grant…

For it is abominable to correlate the life and work of any man, whenever that work approaches the standard of genius. Work of that sort is perfectly independent of life. The purest poems spring alike from the foulest soil and from the cleanest kept. Any stimulus may stimulate. Knowing Shelley almost by heart, the present writer is still ignorant of his domestic affairs—and thanks God for it. Here, however, we have no work of genius to save from soilure. The poem is less than the man, as the editor has pointed out in his sufficiently able introd…

it so closely that it must hâve been started before the time of the Work. E. g. I work to night to make X in Paris Write to me. I get the letter the next morning, so that it must hâve been written before the Work. Does this deny that the Work caused the effect? “If I strike a billiard-ball, and it moves, both my will and its motion are due to causes long antécédent to the act. I may consider both my Work and its reaction as twin effects of the eternal Universe. The moved arm and bail are parts of a State of the Cosmos which resulted necessarily…

In particular I cannot refrain from mentioning the work of Dr. Dee and Sir Edward Kelly. My own work on this subject has been so elaborate and extensive that I shall never sufficiently regret that I never had an opportunity of completing it, but I should like to emphasize that the obtaining of a book like Liber 418 is in itself so outstanding an achievement that it should serve as an e…
