…ascend The gates of Hfeaven, and bud and blade Laugh at the dawn, while breezes lend Their music, till you comprehend The meaning of the world, and sigh— Yet love makes happy in the end This pleasant tale of Thessaly. Turn from my book, the poet prayed, And look to Heaven, an hour to spend Before Ilis throne who spake and bade The fountains of the deep descend, And bade the earth uproot and rend To pitch like tents the mountains high, And gave him language who hath penned This pleasant tale of Thessaly.

…an make. Ill indeed for such a one who is without the wardenship of high initiates! It was for Cyril Grey to keep her unspotted from the world, to utilize those powers which she wielded in pre-eminence from her inheritance in the white sphere of Levanah! When Sister Clara came to summon Iliel, she found her still in swoon. They carried her to her room. At noon she recovered consciousness. Cyril Grey was seated by her bed. To her surprise, he was dressed in mundane attire, an elegant lounge suit of lavender. "Have you seen the papers?" he cried …

…ted; even those benefits of which there is an inexhaustible store have been cornered. For example, fresh air and beautiful scenery. In a world where everyone did his own will none would lack these things. In our present society they have become the luxuries of wealth and leisure, yet they are still acces sible to anyone who possesses sufficient sense to emancipate him self from the alleged advantages of city life. We have deliberately trained people to wish for things that they do not really want.

Now, there are a great many talismans in this world which are being left lying about in a most reprehensibly careless manner. Such are the objects of popular adoration, as ikons and idols. But, it is actually true that a great deal of real magical Force is locked up in such things; consequently, by destroying these sacred symbols, you can overcome magically the people who adore them. It is not at ail irrational to fight for one’s flag, provided that the f…

…sapplied. It is our first duty to ourselves to pre serve the treasure entrusted to us: “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”1 1 [Mark 8:36, paraphrase.]. The nature of man is individual. No two faces are identical, still less are two individuals. Unspeakable is the variety of form and immeasurable the diversity of beauty, but in all is the seal of unity, inasmuch as all cometh from the womb of Nuit—to it returneth all. The apprehension of this sublimity is the mark of divinity. Knowing this, all is libe…

But these others were partial souls; they had not yet [230] attained humanity; they had not understood that in order to grow one must assimilate oneself with another being, the death of two to create the life of one, in whom the two live once more, transmuted and glorified, the corruptible having put on incorruption. To them incarnation was d…

…e to his enormous capacity for work, which he exercises for its own sake, “without lust of result”; perhaps his haughty contempt for the world at large‐which however coexists with profound and ecstatic respect for “every man and every woman” as “a star”—is responsible for this. When this card is badly dignified, the character degenerates. Each of the qualities men‐ tioned above is found in its antithesis. There is great cruelty in him, partly sadistic and partly due to callousness arising from indifference‐and, in a sense, laziness! So too he m…

Instead, I am exiled and suspected, despised by men of science, ostracized by my class, and a beggar. If I were in my teens again! I cannot change my mind about which ridge I’ll climb the mountain by, now when I see, above these ice-glazed pinnacles storm-swept, through gashes torn from whirling wreaths of arrowy sleet, the cloud-surpassing summit, not far, not very far.

For every Individual in the State must be perfect in his own Func tion, with Contentment, respecting his own Task as necessary and holy, not envious of another’s. For so only mayst thou build up a Free State, whose directing Will shall be singly directed to the Welfare of all. We of Thelema think it vitally aright to let a man take opium.

…t into contempt by the machinations of knavery. (1) There is more nonsense talked and written about Yoga than about anything else in the world. Most of this nonsense, which is fostered by charlatans, is based upon the idea that there is something mysterious and Oriental about it. There isn't. Do not look to me for obelisks and odalisques, Rahat Loucoum, bul-buls, or any other tinsel imagery of the Yoga-mongers. I am neat but not gaudy. There is nothing mysterious or Oriental about anything, as everybody knows who has spent a little time intelli…
