…is a portion of my trunk. I hope no prostitute, however drunk, Would end the shocking sequence. Yet we find, Even in England, men of evil mind, Pornographers who love obscene details, Shameless enough to mention finger-nails.

…el, just as a father may join in the games of his child, thus gaining its sympathy and confidence as a basis for a higher union. xV “The Mind of the Father riding on the subtle guiders which glitter with the inflexible tracings of relentless fire.” “The Oracles assert that the types of Characters and of other Divine-visions appear in the Ether (or Astral Light).” ZOROASTER.

THE VISIONS OF THE ORDEAL. THE mind with visions clouded, (Asleep ? Awake ?) By bloodless shades enshrouded, (By whom, and for whose sake ?) With visions dimly lighted, By its own shade affrighted, In its own light benighted, The doors of hell may shake. Unbidden spring the spectres (Whence come, where bound ?) To baffle those protectors Whose wings are broad around. Uprise they and upbraid, Till life shrinks back afraid, And death itself dismayed Sinks back to the profound. 81
…n the shadow far behind Dim and divine, within the shadow blind. My own love’s face most amorously draw Out of the deep toward my cloudy mind. And suddenly I felt a kiss enclose My whole live body, as a rich red rose Folding its sweetness round the honey-bee. I felt a perfect soul embracing me, And in my spirit like a river flows A passion like the passion of the sea.
…ay some deepest certainty. O kill it! Slay the snake! The horn of the Doubt-Goat be exalted! Dive deeper, ever deeper, into the Abyss of Mind, until thou unearth the fox THAT. On, hounds! Yoicks! Tally-ho! Bring THAT to bay! Then, wind the Mort!
…miles. A cigar is like a wife! Put it up to your lips, and light it; When youve learned to do it right, it Adds a certain zest to life. Mind you keep on puffing it, Or its out, and cant be lit. Ah, the aroma! Ah, the glow! Will I have one? Thank you, No. ALEISTER CROWLEY
… of their precious souls : therefore their ecstasy is clearly a diseased process. The Yogic ecstasy requires absolute calm and health of mind and body. It is useless and dangerous under other conditions even to begin the most elementary practices. 742. My Eastern Friend.60—Abdul Hamid, of the Fort, Colombo, on whom be peace. 755. Heart.61— Heart is a trifling misquotation : This poem is for publication. 810. Mind the dark dorrway there !62—This, like so many other (perhaps all) lines in these poems, is pregnant with a host of hidden meanings. N…
…oss it is of the Heart and is called Beauty; but in the Formula of the Silver Star (id est, of the Eye within the Triangle) it is of the mind, and is called Wonder. Otherwise spoken, the former is of Art, a sensuous and creative Perception; but the latter of Science, and intellectual and intelligible Insight. Or again, in our Holy Qabalah, the one is of Tiphereth, the other of Binah, and in pure Philosophy, this is a Contemplation of the Cosmos, causal and dynamic, and that of its effect in static Presentation. Now this rapture of art is a Virt…
…gories of colour, crystallisation, hardness, and so on; but are they not really so even in that of existence? The third example is to my mind the best. 2 sine 60° and V3 are unreal and therefore never conceivable, at least to the present constitution of our human intelligences. Worked out, neither has meaning; unworked, both have meaning, and that a different meaning in one case and the other. We have thus two terms, both unreal, both incon: ceivable, yet both representing intelligible and diverse ideas to our minds (and this is the point!) tho…
… of attraction, not merely gross appetites—which have been long ago conquered, not by excluding, but by regulating them. On the plane of mind itself all is in order; everything has been balanced by its opposite. 53. Thou hast now conquered Mara and his furious host. The seeker has now passed through the Abyss where dwells Choronzon whose name is Legion. All this must be studied most carefully in Liber 418. 54. Thou hast removed pollution from thine heart and bled it from impure desire. But, O thou glorious Combatant, thy task is not yet done. B…
…equisite in all this Work is that you so devote yourself to, and identify yourself with, the Gods, that there is never any doubt in your mind as to what They intend you to do? Love is the law, love under will. Yours fraternally, 666

…nd loathes the thought of drinking! He must do something—something pretty drastic, or he will find himself in serious trouble of body and mind, the shadows of his soul, that is sick unto death. For “ where are now their gods?” Where is the Lord, the Lord Adonai? The beast feels decidedly better; but whether he is more concentrated one may doubt. Honestly, he is now so blind that he cannot tell! Perhaps a “cafe, cognac, et Cigare” may tune him up to the point of either going back to work, or across Paris to the Hammam. He will make the experiment…
86 and more convincing if the meditation is directed to an object which in itself is apparently unimportant. One does not want the mind to be excited in any way, even by adoration. See the three meditative methods in Liber HHH (Equinox VI).1 At the same time, one would not like to deny positively that it is very much easier to take some idea towards which the mind would naturally flow. The Hindus assert that the nature of the object determines the Samadhi; that is, the nature of those lower Samadhis which confer so— called “magic powers.” For ex…
…ary and proper to our particular Path. The Knowledge of this one Matter is the End of Dread and of Regret; make it the Gov- ernor of thy Mind, to rule its Pace, lest it hasten or lag by Stress of thine Environment. Now this Attainment is possible for all Mankind, since it asketh but Resolution of Complexities that already exist; so that this true Wisdom and Happiness cometh by the Acceptance of our Law, and its Use is the Key to all locked Doors of the Mind, and the Reconcilement of every Contention. O my Son, in he Promulgation of the Law liet…
… gain the thing I seek?”’ Rape of Lucrece. THERE is much sorcery in the word eleven. I took my lover’s image pale and clear, Fixed in my mind; I saw her standing near, Wooed her, conjured her by the power of heaven, Of my own mind, the Genii of the Seven, To come and live with me and be my dear, To love me in the spirit without fear ;— Leaving the body’s love to follow at even. Seemeth it not absurd? to use the thought, The utterly divine impersonal Mind of a man, the pure, the spiritual, To such a purpose rather less than nought, A woman’s lov…
…wrestling. Let the jaw and mouth, in particular, be tightened to the utmost. Breathe deeply, slowly, yet strongly. Keep mastery over the mind by muttering forcibly and audibly. But lest such muttering tend to disturb communion with the Angel, speak only His Name. Until the Adept hâve heard that Name, therefore, he may not abide in the perfect possession of his Beloved. His most important task is thus to open his ears to the voice of his Angel, that he may know him, how he is called. For hearken! this Name, understood rightly and fully, declaret…
