…rn, should you consider your time valuable? It certainly is not valuable unless the universe has a meaning, and what is more, unless you know what that meaning is-at least roughly-it is millions to one that you will find yourself barking up the wrong tree. First of all let us consider this question of the meaning of the universe. It is its own evidence to design, and that design intelligent design. There is no question of any moral significance- "one man's meat is another man's poison" and so on. But there can be no possible doubt about the exi…

But we record musical sounds by a spécial convention. We may therefore call a certain set of qualities “Ratziel”, or describe an impression as “Saturnian” without pretending to know what anything is in itsel…

…s possible by extreme gentle touches to excite in the patient all the possible sensations of pleasure of which that person is capable. I know that this is a very extraordinary claim, but it is a very easy one to substantiate. The only thing I am afraid of is that experts may be carried away by the rewards, instead of getting the real value of the lesson, which is that the gross pleasures of the senses are absolutely worthless. This practice, so far as it is useful at all, should be regarded as the first step towards emancipation from the thrall…

…discovery of the key number 31 by Frater Achad. We must also expect a genius to arise who will accomplish all this work for us.
