…was done, after careful collation and edition, from numer- ous MSS. in Hebrew, Latin, French and English, by G. H. Fra. D.D.C.F., by the order of the Secret Chief of the Rosicrucian Order... The G. H. Fra., having succumbed unhappily to the assaults of the Four Great Princes (acting notably under Martial influences), it seemed expedient that the work should be brought to its conclusion by another hand. ‘The investigations of a com- petent Skryer into the house of our unhappy Fra., confirmed this divination; neither our Fra. nor his Hermetic Mul…

…to politics. You will ask how this operated, and how the system in- augurated by him works. Itis simple. Authority and pres- tige in the Order are absolute, but while the lower grades give increase of privilege, the higher give increase of service. Power in the Order depends, therefore, directly on the willingness to aid others. Tolerance also is taught in the higher grades; so that no man can be even an Inspector of 233

I remember asking Baker whether people often died during the ceremony. I had no idea that it was a flat formality and that the members were for the most part muddled middle-class mediocrities. I saw myself entering the Hidden Church of the Holy Grail. This state of my soul served me well. My initiation was in fact a sacrament. The rituals have been printed in The Equinox, vol. I, Nos. II and III. There is no que…

…cond kind of Nothing which they called “Ain Soph”—”Without Limit”. (This idea seems not unlike that of Space.) They then decided that in order to interpret this mere absence of any means of definition, it was neces‐ sary to postulate the Ain Soph Aur—”Limitless Light”. By this they seem to have meant very much what the late Victorian men of science meant, or thought that they meant, by the Lumi‐ niferous Ether. (The Space‐Time Continuum?) All this is evidently without form and void; these are abstract conditions, not positive ideas. The next st…

The greatest and holiest of the Ex- empt Adepts may, in a single moment, become a Brother of the Left Hand Path. It is for this reason that the Great White Brotherhood admits no essential connection with the lower branches affiliated to The Order. At the same time, The Brothers of the A..A.. refuse none.

It is when system is adored for its own sake, or as a means of endowing mediocrities with power as such, that the "critical temperature" is attained. It so happens that I write this on the eve of a General Election in England; and it seems to me that whichever wins, England loses.
