…iquity to the ideas contained in their books . In one degree at least they are right, for the mysticism as contained in these systems of thought is as old as thought itself . The great system of the Qabalah is one of emana tion -- a type of spiritual monism , an attempted ex planation of the nature of the Deity , within the limitations of mind . Its correspondence with the Talmud is more of method than material . That it was of slow growth is very certain , that it is a conglomer ated mass of a multitude of efforts is also most sure . The Zohar…

… hand is lifted to upraise the fourth gate’s latch, thou must have mastered all the mental changes in thy Self and slain the army of the thought sensations that, subtle and insidious, creep unasked within the Soul’s bright shrine. It is the mental changes and the invading thoughts which distress us. These are to be understood in a rather ad- vanced sense, for of course thought must have been con- quered earlier than this, that is to say, the self must have been separated from its thoughts, so that they no longer disturb that self. Now, however,…

…T A highly original study of morals and religion by a new writer, who is as entertaining as the average novelist is dull. Nowadays human thought has taken a brighter place in the creation: our emotions are weary of bad baronets and stolen wills; they are now only excited by spiritual crises, catastrophes of the reason, triumphs of the intelli- gence. In these fields Captain Fuller is a master dramatist.

…rain and a healthy brain; and their action on that brain is to repose it, to fortify it, to make it more capable of lofty and continuous thought. Beware of the sheep in lions’ skins, the asses that bray and think “the tiger roars!” Physically too, the mystic is to be known by his atmo- sphere of power, cleanliness and light; by his self-control, his concentration of thought and action, his vigour, his patience.

Contains in its nature the sum of the functions of being and thought. Still as I sit, and destroy all possible trace of the past, All germ of the future, nor joy nor knowledge alive at the last, It is vain, for the Silence is dowered with a nature, the seed of a name: Necessity, fearfully flowered with the blossom of possible Aim. I am Necessity? Scry Necessity mother of Fate! And Fate determines me I; and I have the Will to create. Vast is the sphere, but it turns on itself like the prettiest star, And I am the looby that learns that all thi…

… there is no imperfection in his love. 2. El Haji’s Materialism. There is nothing strange to an Oriental in the theory that emotions and thought depend upon bodily changes. All books on Philosophy teach or imply this, in direct contradiction to the silly metaphysical theories of thought which pass current in the West. Yet they hold that all depend, ring within ring, upon the central point, God. If the Eastern is an idealist, it is the idealism of Malebranche or Berkeley ; if a sceptic, it is the scepticism of Huxley or Hume ; if a materialist, …

…ues of mind, Things far from hurrying humankind. Thus spins out life its splendid charm :— Live, love, enjoy, yet do no harm. No rose of thought may bear or breed The poisonous thorn of word and deed. Call ** homo sapiens ” him who thinks ; Talkers and doers—missing links!

Confused in rapture: peace is culled a flower from the arboreal root, The vision dulled, the singer mute, shattered the lute, the song annulled. 41 G

…. 2. He who would hear the voice of Nada, the “Soundless Sound,” and comprehend it, he has to learn the nature of Dhéarané (concentrated thought). The voice of Nada is very soon heard by the beginner, especially during the practice of Pranayama (control of breath-force). At first it resembles distant surf, though in the adept it is more like the twittering of innumerable night- ingales; but this sound is premonitory, as it were, the veil of more distinct and articulate sounds which come later. It corresponds in hearing to that dark veil which i…

UT 129 Dissolved His being to a nameless naught, Brake all the wings and waves of time and thought, So in the quivering flame that hurled Its founts of life to the remotest world Supreme stood Death, and sware Destruction to all things that were ! IV Child, father, warrior, I worshipped Thee before ; Friend, bridegroom, now I yield me to the rod. My God, and very God of very God As breath, as death, as all, as naught, unknown, Known, is there not an end, when one alone Stand I, and thou, and He Arisen above all things that be ?

That called Nirvikalpa-Samadhi, when the trance results from banishing thought altogether, instead of concentrating on one thought, ‘is the highest kind. But, with the Buddhist, Samadhi, though the state of mind meant is the same, is not an end, but a means. The holy-man-of-the-East must keep this state of mind unimpaired during his whole life, using it as a weapon to attack the Three Characteristics (the antithesis of Nibbana) even as one uses one’s normal dualistic consciousnes…

…glars. Yes, he must kill himself. He drew back the hammer. Cold sweat beaded his flabby face. He could not; and any- how, how did one? He thought of many stories of people who had shot themselves ineffectively. He felt for his heart and failed to find it, wondered if it had stopped and he were dying, had a fit of fear paralysing all his will. He thought of himself lying dead. ”No, by God! I can't do it!” he cried, and flung the pistol back into the drawer. As luck would have it, the weapon exploded. The bullet broke his jaw, tore away four molars,…
