…y after- wards. Consider1 Darkness ! Can we philosophi- cally or actually regard as different the dark- ness produced by interference of light and that existing in the mere absence of light ? Is Unity really identical with .9 recurring? Do we not mean different things when we s peak res pectively of 2 sine 60° and of 3 ? Charcoal and diamond are obviously dif- ferent in the categories of colour, crystallisa- tion, hardness, and so on; but are they not really so even in that of existence ? The third example is to m y mind the b est. 2 sine 60° a…

…t dissolving Their life from its burden of ills, Ever resolving the circle revolving To peace of the hills. And dark is Her breast and unlighted ; But a warm sweet scent is expressed, And a rose as of sunset excited In the strength of Her sunless breast. Her love is like pain, but enchanted : Her kiss is an opiate breath Amorously panted : Her fervours last granted Are sorrow, and death. Nor death as ye name in derision The change to a cycle of pain, To a cycle of joy as a vision Ye chase, and may capture in vain. Endeth you peace, and your cha…

…wallowed . Long have we peered , crouching on the watch-tower of our minds , through the darkness of ignorance lit alone by the northern lights of folly , till our scorched eyes falling as slags upon our hearts , a light celestial hath arisen from out the eyeless sockets of Eternity . A day - star , to flash forth into the west , winged and wonderful . A Pharos of gleaming hope lighting our way across the boisterous ocean of life to our haven of eternal rest . The fools and the faulty , the wise and the wizened read and tremble before the might…

THE EQUINOX still there . . . . until we reach Kether of Atziluth and the Infinite Light, and Space, and Nothing. So then we retire up the path, fighting rear-guard actions ; at every moment a soldier is slain by a hunchback; but as we retire there is always a soldier just by us. Until the end. The end? Buddha thought the supply of hunchbacks infinite ; but why should not the soldiers them- selves be infinite in number? However that may be, here is the point; it takes a moment for a hunchback to kill his man, and the farther we get from our bas…

THE EQUINOX like waves of gold upon the sea. My eyes are brighter than the sun. My tongue is swifter than the lightning. Yet am I hemmed in by the armies of night, singing, singing praises unto Him that is smitten by the thunder- bolt of the abyss. Is not the sky clear behind the sun? These clouds that burn thee up, these rays that scorch the brains of men with blindness; these are heralds before my face of the dissolution and the night. Ye are all blinded by my glory; and though ye treasure in your heart the sacred word that is the last lever …

The veil of night comes down a dull blue-gray with one pentagram in the midst of it, watery and dull. And I am to abide there for a while before I come back to the earth. (But shut me the window up, hide me from the sun. Oh, shut the window! *) Now, the pentagram is faded; black crosses fill the Aethyr gradually growing and interlacing, until there is a ne…

But is there not here a sort of moral oxymoron? Are not the Masters pursuing two diametrically opposed policies at the same time? Genius-or Initiation, which implies the liberation and development of the genius latent in us all (is not one of the names of the "Holy Guardian Angel" the Genius?)-is practically the monopoly of the "crazy adventurer," as the official mind will most certainl…

For there is a sense sublime Of something far more deeply interfused , Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns , And the round ocean and the living air , And the blue sky , and in the mind of man ; A motion and a spirit , that impels All thinking things , all objects of all thoughts , And rolls through all things .?

Thus we find him, as it were, figuring before him a Pentagram and saying: “It is not complete without its top point.” This is undoubtedly correct, but at this time he still failed to realise that when once the Supernal Triad has descended and is resting…
