THE EQUINOX by placing the feet on his feet, the hands on his hands, the mouth on his mouth. Then concentrate the whole will for a long time, call to itself the escaped soul, using all the loving thoughts and mental caresses of which one is capable. If the operator inspires in that soul much affection or great respect, ifin the thought which he communicates magnetically to it the thaumaturgist can persuade it that life is still necessary to it, and that happy days are still in store for it below, it will certainly return, and for the man of eve…

…Lord of Silence & of Strength; my nemyss shrouds the night-blue sky. 71. Hail! ye twin warriors about the pillars of the world! for your time is nigh at hand. Commentary: This seemed a clear statement as to the War which was to come, and did come, in 1914 E.v. Later I thought that “the pillars of the world” meant “the Pillars of Hercules”—about the Straits of Gibraltar—and that the really big war would start there. P.s. I now ask if “twin warriors” imply a civil war? The Spanish troubles started in S. Spain and Morocco.1 1 [I.e., the Spanish Ci…

…resents fairly enough the criticism of my genius upon the varied ideas which I had gathered since I first came to Asia. During the whole time, I had been studying the original scriptures of Hinduism and Buddhism very thoroughly. Besides this, I had discussed every aspect of religion and philosophy with immensely varied types of thinkers. From men of such spiritual and scholarly attainment as Allan Bennett, the Hon. P. Ramanathan, Prince Jinawaravansa, Paramaguru Swami, Shri Swami Swayam Prakashanand Maithala, to such excremental exponents of er…

…n's, is purely natural. His conscious ideas are out of keeping with it and destroy it whenever he allows them to interfere. Thus, at one time, he got into the worst set of pretentious humbugs in London, those nonentities who proclaim tirelessly at the top of their voices how great they are, and how their pedantic principles are the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. They theorize tediously in obscure cafs and produce either meaningless monstrosities or nothing at all. Cubism, vorticism, dadaism, and such sectarian sillinesses al…

What joy ! Yes ! she almost screamed, punctuating her re- marks with violent blows, which such was the height of her passion, as often as not missed the sufferer, who vainly pleaded for mercy, and prom- ised never to do it again you slut !

…o I saw barren wood bear roses, and I heard the voice of the master. After that I was shewn all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and many other things of great use and beauty. Then I took my leave of the old man of the tower, and boarded the shallop that I had made, when he cried out piteously that he feared earthquake, and asked me for my aid. So with a heart both heavy and light I abandoned my shallop and the dreadful labour of its fashioning, and came back to him. Then came earthquake as he had foreseen; and he and the boats al…

His tone implied that he had taken charge of us. “No,” I said, “‘ we used up the last grain some time ago.” “IT won’t ask you to remember when,” he replied. “* T know too well how muddled one gets. And besides, when one starts this experiment, the clock doesn’t tell one much, as you know.” My self-respect came back to me with a rush. He insisted on our regarding ourselves as pioneers of science and humanity. We were making an experiment; we were risking life and reason for the sake of mankind. Of course, …

… be for them to concentrate on one particular group , or one part of the world , and to keep this in as good shape as possible until the time has come for Nature to grow a new set. They will be grown on a new Formula, to meet the new needs , just as when our "permanent" (Alas, not much!) set replace our milk-teeth. You ask me if I think this change can be made without bloodshed. No. The obscure autocrats of Diplomacy and Big Business are infinitely stupid and short-sighted; they cannot see an inch beyond their too often stigmatically shapen pro…

…isit a corner of the earth which appealed thus vividly to my imagination. Incidentally, there were practical difficulties. I had at this time no notion that everybody was a perfect idiot. I could not understand the parochial psychology of the average Englishman. Even Litton, the British counsul at Tengyueh, wrote, "I will say frankly that I had no idea that Mrs. Crowley or a child would be with you, and that while there is really no reason why they should not go to Yunnanfu, along the main road, they will, I fear, suffer a good deal of discomfo…

That was very moist too, and the Captains inquisitive tongue soon pene- trated its secrecies and became aware of a strong warm taste as of incense recently offered.

20 KONX OM PAX Via '1 v. Valium and seventy-eight is six times thirteen. To get into the Wake World you must know your thirteen times table quite well. So if you take them both together that makes eleven times thirteen, and then you say “Abrahadabra,” which is a most mysterious word, because it has eleven letters in it. You remember the Houses are numbered both ways, so that the Third House is called the Eighth House too, and the Fifth the Sixth, and so on. But you can’t tell what lovely things that means till you’ve been through them all, and …

…ndered nugatory the efforts of missionary sinologists; indeed, all oriental scholars with the single exception of Rhys Davids. Until his time, translators had invariably assumed, with absurd naivete, or (more often) arrogant bigotry, that a Chinese writer must be putting forth either a more or less distorted and degraded variation of some Christian conception, or utterly puerile absurdities . Even so great a man as Max Muller, in his introduction to the Upanishads, seems only half inclined to admit that the apparent triviality and folly of many…

Wessely had devoured practically the whole two sheep. Of course the mountain variety is not a Southdown. It probably does not weigh more than the average four months lamb in Sussex.

PREFATORY NOTE. A.G.R.C. A.R.C.G. Tus translation of the First Book of the “ Lemegeton ” (now for the first time made accessible to English adepts and students of the Mysteries) was done, after careful collation and edition, from numer- ous MSS. in Hebrew, Latin, French and English, by G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F., by the order of the Secret Chief of the Rosicrucian Order... The G. H.
