Also I would have you to meditate most closely upon the name NU that is 56, which we are told to divide, add, multiply, and understand. By division cometh forth 0.12, as if it were written Nuith! Hadith! Ra-Hoor- Khuith! before the Dyad. By addition ariseth Eleven, the number of True Magick: and by multiplication Three Hun- dred, the Number of the Holy Spirit or Fire, the letter Sh…

…f his ex‐ planations went far higher and deeper than any‐thing in any accessible models. She accord‐ ingly forced him—the laziest man in three continents!—to undertake what is to all intent an original work, including the latest discoveries in modern science, mathematics, philosophy, and anthropology; in a word, to reproduce the whole of his Magical Mind pictorially on the skeleton of the ancient Qabalistic tradition. He accepted this colossal burden; it renewed his energy and his enthusiasm. Yet the burden was sore: the anticipated three month…

They know not any cure. The first is Life, A well of poison. Sowing dust and dung Over men’s hearts, the second scourge, above All shameful deeds, is Lying, from whose tongue Drops Envy, wed with Hatred to sow Strife. These twain are bitter; but the last is Love.

WORK 469 address a group of just such people-and they gave me three-quarters of an hour's notice . It was really more like ten minutes, as the rest of the time was bespoke by letter-writing and posting which could in no wise be postponed . So I had to devise an adequate gambit, one which ruthlessly excluded any touch of subtlety, or any assumption of previous knowledge of the subject on the part of the audience. It came off. For the first time in history, the laymen elicited intelligent and relevant questions. There were only three half-wits in…

THE MAN-COVER discarded the two pigeons and the dog. I had only to choose between the three sailors and the man-whose-nose-sings-at- will. As the latter was of great help to us, and kept the negroes amused for hours with the harmonious though plain- tive accords springing at will from his nasal organ, there remained only the sailors. The natives were, of course, totally unfit for such a fate. They could find no inner delectation in the perpetual sufferings occasioned by so dreadful an ordeal— or doom !

(There is another numerical reason that I cannot hear.) And as I entered their ring, they bade me stand in their circle, and a weapon was given unto me. And the pass-word that I had given seems to have been whispered round from one to the other, for each one nods gravely as if in solemn acquiescence, until the last one whispers the same words in my ears.

There, beautiful like the Bandhuk flower, is placed the seed of love; it is brilliant like burnished gold, and is described in Yoga as eternal. 61.
