…t of conquest he wastes the fruits of it, in the arms of luxury. It is through this weakness that the perfected man, the Sun, is of dual nature, and his evil twin slays him in his glory. So the triumphant Lord of Heaven, the beloved of Apollo and the Muses is brought down into the dust, and who shall mourn him but his Mother Nature, Venus, the lady of love and sorrow ? Well is it if she bears within her the Secret of Resurrection ! But even Venus owes all her charm to the swift messenger of the Gods, Mercury, the joyous and ambiguous boy whose …

…at it return to its own First Intention, dissolv- ing itself little by little into that Light which is its most se- cret and most subtle Nature? For this Universe is in Truth Zero, being an equation whereof Zero is the sum. Whereof this is the proof, that if not, it would be unbalanced, and something would have come from Nothing, which is absurd. This Light or Noth- ing is then the Resultant or Totality thereof in pure Perfec- tion; and all other states, positive or negative, are imperfect, since they omit their opposites. Yet, I would have you…

Tribute she pays me From seas unto skies. But Death—shall he heed me or hear? shall he list to the lyre and arise ? O thou who art seated, Invisible king, The never-defeated, The shadowy thing! gI

…is therefore the one colour that it is not. This Law, Reason, Time, Space, all Limita- tion blinds us to Truth. AJl that we know of Man, Nature, God, is just that which they are not; it is that which they throw off as repugnant. The HIMOG is only visible insofar as He is imperfect. Then are they all glorious who seem not to be glorious, as the HIMOG is All-glorious Within? It may be so. How then distinguish the inglorious and per- fect HIMOG from the inglorious man of earth? Distinguish not! But thyself Ex-tinguish: HIMOG art thou, and HIMOG sh…

(The first manifestation in Nature of these two is Thai Yang, the Sun, and Thai Yin, the Moon.) This being a little large and loose, they doubled these lines, and obtained the four Hsiang. They then took them three at a time, and got the eight Kwa. These represent the development from the original I to the Natural Order of the Elements. I shall call the male principle M, the Female F.

…rtia is sufficient to oppose a most serious stumbling-block to so gigantic a process. The task before us is consequently of a ter- rible nature. It is easy to let things slide, to grin and bear it in fact, until every thing is merged in the ultimate unity, which may or may not be decently tolerable. But while we wait? There now arises the question of freewill. Causality is probably not fully extended in its own category,1 a circumstance which gives room for a fractional am ount of freewill. If this be not so, it m atters little; for if I find m…

His system will not be subject to panic, any more than th" law of Inverse Squares is disturbed by Elections. He will not be anxious about his affairs because they will not be his; and for that reason he will be able to direct them with the calm, clear-headed confidence of an onlooker, with intelligence unclouded by s…

Alchemy resembles évocation in its sélection of appropriate material bases for the manifestation of the Will5 but differs from it in proceeding without personification, or the intervention of alien planes. 1 It may be more closely compared with Initiation; for the effective element of the Product is of the essence of its own nature, and inhérent therein; the Work similarly consists in isolating it from…

One must moreover avoid doing another injury by deforming his nature; for instance, to flog children at or near puberty may distort the sensitive nascent sexual character, and impress it with the stamp of masochism. Again, homosexual practices between boys may in certain cases actually rob them of their virility, psychically or even physically. Trying to frighten adolescents about sex by the bogeys of Hell, Disease, and Insanity, may warp the moral nature permanently, an…
