…eech, the figure of the angel has dwindled and flickered, and now it is gone out. And I come back in the body, rushing like a flame in a great wind. And the shew-stone has become warm, and in it is its own light. Bou-saada, December 3, 1909. 9.50-11.15 pr. Comment on this cry can but profane it, yet it is necessary to emphasize the very peculiar nature of the attain- 119
…ke them- selves followed, and when they say, “This is thus,” Nature changes (in a sense) to the eyes of the vulgar, and becomes what the great man wished. “This is my flesh and this is my blood,” said a Man who had made himself God by his virtues; and eighteen centuries, in the presence of a piece of bread and a little wine, have seen, touched, tasted and adored flesh and blood made divine by martyrdom! Say now, that the human will accomplishes no miracles ! 207

A... is in the most secret of England’s War Councils at this hour. But it is possible that all this instruction refers to some later time when our Law, administered by some such Order as the O.T.O. which concerns itself with tem- poral affairs, is of weight in the councils of the world, and is challenged by the …
… one house; by surren- dering it he became owner of a thousand houses. He gave up the world, and found it at his feet.

Nor may I declare them, save this the simplest, for Then is all Heaven aflame with a great blast of trumpets; and the world is alight with one flash, that sundereth every spirit that liveth, branding this Sign upon them: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Aves. Now the whole air is thrilled by the voices of birds: A Swan, a Phoenix, a Raven, a Hawk, a Pelican, a Dove, an Ibis and a Vulture: in his turn each one sang praises, even as it was given unto him to understand one part of…
…he ships," said Thornton, "and they they'll have a shot at the hotels. Get out and get out quick!" "Darling sweetheart lovey-dovey silly great big she-ass!" I whispered to my wife, "would you rather walk across Persia or across China?" The wretched woman knew no geography. All she knew about Persia was rugs and Omar Khayyam; all she knew about China was opium smoking, porcelain and tea. She was fed up with Omar, who was at that time deplorably the rage in this wasp-witted country. "My ownest own," she purred, "let's go through China!" We hastil…
… the Magi of the East , with gold , and frankincense , and myrrh . Above whose heptagonal cradle flashes the magic star Lusanaher , that great star Cor Leonis , which heralds and directs our reverent pilgrimage . The Star has arisen ; let us like men drop the silly pretence of an ostrich - like self - delusion that the cindery asteroid still lights our way ; let us rather apply our mental spectroscope to the analysis of its rays . There shall we perchance discover the blending of allopposites
…E STAR IN THE WEST Earth , and from which Heaven and Earth sprung ? Nay , what is there superior to Space and which moves in Space ? The great Tao is the parent of Space , and Space is the parent of Heaven and Earth , and Heaven and Earth produced men and things ...” A similar conception of the Wisdom is held in the Chaldaic , Memrah ; in the Vach , or word , of the Rig Veda ; in the Honover or word , of the Zend Avesta ; in the Avalôkitêsvara , or Kwan - Yin , the Sakti of Amitâbha , the boundless light of the later Mahayana Buddhists .

…d, yes, perhaps, but the very fact that their halluci- nation is identical, whether separately or collectively, is it not a sufficiently great miracle on the part of him who produces it, always, at will, and at a stated time and place? To do miracles, and to persuade the multitude that one does them, are very nearly the same thing, above all in a century as frivolous and scoffing as ours. Now, the world is full of wonder-makers, and science is often reduced to denying their works or refusing to see them, in order not to be reduced to examining …

… found in these poems, Alas ! that we should be compelled to write the words! That an art essentially spiritual, an art dignified by the great names of Gascoigne Mackie, Chris- tina Rossetti, Alfred Tennyson, George Herbert, should here be prostituted to such “ ignoble use ”, Truly the corruption of the best is the lowest —- corruptio optimi pessima. Nor can one gleam of Hope, even in the infinite mercy of our loving Father, tinge with gold the leprous gloom of our outlook. These clouds without water havenosilver lining. The unhappy man need no…

But I must not proselytize : many are called, but few chosen ; a sodomite is born, not made ; you can’t make a silk sodomite out of an English groc- er’s boy ; one sodomite doesn’t make a scan- dal ; take care of the boys, and the girls will take care of themselves ; strike while the tool is hot ; don’t bugger in haste, or withdraw at lei- sure ;…
…her glance haughty and contemptuous; when she speaks of virtue she makes vice lovable. For her God is a jealous husband, and she makes a great merit of not deceiving him. Her maxims are desolating, her actions due to vanity more than to charity, and one might say after having met her at church: “I have seen the devil at prayer.” On leaving the first, one feels one’s self full of love for all that is beautiful, good and generous. One is happy to have well said to her all the noble things with which she has inspired you, and to have been approved…

Every Brother is expected to bear witness in his last will and testament to the great benefit that he hath received from the Order by bestowing upon it part or the whole of his goods, as he may deem fit. 34. The death of a Brother is not to be an occasion of melancholy, but of rejoicing; the Brethren of his Lodge shall gather together and make a banquet with music and dancing and all manner of gladness. It is of the greatest importance that this shall be done, for thereby the inherited 21…
…: <cThou hast formulated thy Father, and made fertile thy Mother”. The adding of the Hé to the Yod is the marriage of that Father to the great co-equal Mother, who is a reflection of Nuit as He is of Hadit. Their union brings forth the son Vau who is the heir. Finally the daughter Hé is produced. She is both the twin sister and the daughter of Vau.2 His mission is to redeem her by making her his bride -, the resuit of this is to set her upon the throne of her mother, and it is only she whose youthful embrace can reawaken the eld of the 1. mm ; …
…; the mere removal of the strain imposed by the will of the magician will restore things to their normal aspects, in accordance with the great law of inertia. In a badly-managed évocation, however, this does not always obtainj the spirit may refuse to be controlled, and may refuse to départ — even after having sworn obedience. In such a case extreme danger may arise. In the ordinary way, the Magician dismisses the spirit with these words: “And now I say unto thee, départ in peace unto thine habitations and abodes — and may the blessing of the H…
