…of the Tarot were trying to promulgate 1It was a tribal necessity of the savage wanderers to have an uncivilized and simple Demiurge for god; the complexities and refinements of settled nations were to them mere weakness. Observe that the moment they got a Promised Land and a Temple, under Solomon, he went “an‐whoring after strange women” and gods. This infuriated the Diehard prophets, and led within a few years to the breach between Judah and Israel, thence to a whole sequence of disasters. 2The earliest accounts relate the distribution of the…

…ll he fairly yells . . . and I will too! Somehow! I have now got into a sort of smug content, grinning all over like some sleepy Chinese god. No reason for it, Lord knows! I can’t make up my mind whether to starve or sand- wich or gorge the beast St. John. He’s not the least bit hungry, though he’s had nothing to call a Meal since Thursday lunch. The Hatha-Yoga feeding game is certainly marvellous. I should like to work marching and breathing with this mantra as I did of old with Aum Tat Sat Aum. Perhaps two steps to a mantra, and 4—8—16 steps …

Also it is better if in these adorations thou assume the God—form 01 Whom thou adorest, as if thou didst unite with Him in the adoration of That which is beyond Him. 7. Thus shalt thou ever be mindful 01 the Great Work which thou hast undertaken to perform, and thus shalt thou be strengthened to pursue it unto the attainment 01 the Stone of the Wise, the Summum Bonum, True Wisdom and Perfect Happiness. 32

80 with.” Ari/22' means “Lord,” and a reasonable translation of the whole word would be “Union with God,” the exact term used by Christian mystics to describe their attainment. Now there is great confusion, because the Buddhists use the word Samadhi to mean something entirely different, the mere faculty of attention. Thus, with them, to think of a cat is to “ make Samadhi ” on that cat. They use the word Jhana to describe mystic states. This is excessively misleading, for as we saw in the last section, Dhyana is a preliminary to Samadhi, and of…
…een two thieves, and He took one of them with Him to heaven. The Kingdom of Heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. God bestows His almighty power on love. He loves to triumph over hate, but the lukewarm He spueth forth from His mouth. Duty is to live, were it but for an instant! It is fine to have reigned for a day, even for an hour! though it were beneath the sword of Damocles, or upon the pyre of Sardanapalus ! But it is finer to have seen at one’s feet all the crowns of the world, and to have said, “I will be the king o…

… less than fifty years later, this theory should seem such fantastic folly as to require a detailed account. The universe was created by God 4004 B.C. The Bible, authorized version, was literally true, having been dictated by the Holy Ghost himself to scribes incapable of even clerical errors. King James' translators enjoyed an equal immunity. It was considered unusual --- and therefore in doubtful taste --- to appeal to the original texts. All other versions were regarded as inferior; the Revised Version in particular savoured of heresy.

…as so natu- rally gentle that his Prometheus can be read to-day by our young ladies without their ever suspecting that he was getting at God. Nietzsche on the other hand is very obscure, very super- ficial, very philosophical, and he did not write English. I have been trained in a harder school than Shelley ; and so my little finger is thicker than my father’s loins. He went and “ trod the glaciers of the Alps ” — the Mer de Glace ; I broke the record by my 68 days on the Baltoro glacier. He went out in a boat, and got drowned at that ; I have …

…pies of their works, and forward carriage paid to a printer, with the remark— worthy of Julius Czesar at his tersest-—‘ Reprint !’ Would God it had stopped there! But (remember!) the future saint wasn’t wise, he was only “looking wise,” and he made a terrible mistake by accepting a few shillings—all too few !—to whitewash Dr. Wynn Westcott (and English Free- masons generally) in the Diana Vaughan affair. He corresponded with learned professors from Leipzig to Vladivostock; he bombarded Indian Lieutenant-Governors with long strings of questions:…
