…t attained to Arahatship, admission to the Great White Brotherhood. Is it not enough to make us throw away our atheism and exclaim, ‘“‘O God be merciful to me a sinner, and keep me in the way of Truth!” Nay, for those of us who know what triple silver cord of moonlight binds the red blood of our heart to the Ineffable Crown of Brilliance, who have seen what Angel stands in the moon-ray, who have known the perfume and the vision, seen the drops of dew supernal stand on the silver lamen of the forehead—for us is neither fear nor pride, but silenc…

…so that opposing fierce resistance to the all-law, stood loves and joys, delicate girls, and beautiful strong boys, and bearded men like gods, and golden things, and bright desires with wings, all beauties, and all truths of life poets have ever prized. .So showed the microscope, this agéd strife between all forms: but seen afar, seen well drawn in a focus, synthesised, the whole was sorrow and despair; agony biting through the fair; meanness, contemptibility, enthroned; all purposeless, all unatoned; all putrid of an hope, all vacant of a soul…
…ly; I think every one must love him, and yet every one is afraid. He looks through one just as if one had no clothes on in the Garden of God, and he had made one, and one could do nothing except in the mirror of his mind. He never laughs or frowns or smiles; because, whatever he sees, he sees what is beyond as well, and so nothing ever happens. His mouth is redder than any roses you ever saw. I wake up quite when we kiss each other, and there is no dream any more. But when it is not trembling on mine, I see kisses on his lips, as if he were kis…

Be the God that we can , grasp but the first ring , but grasp it well , and be thankful if it but fit our little finger ; trusting that the flashing gems , fiery in its golden setting , will light our way to the discovery of the next , and the next ! -- and the next ! till we become one with the whirling gems of Eternity .

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES them; when they are sick with the nostalgia of God—will they not rise up like the prodigal son, and come to throw them- selves at the feet of the successor of Peter, saying: “ Father, we have sinned against heaven and in thy sight, and we are no more worthy to be called thy sons, but count us among the humblest of thy servants” ? We will not speak of the criticism of Voltaire. That great mind was dominated by an ardent love of truth and justice, but he lacked that rectitude of heart which the intelligence ot faith gives…

…is, above all else; they are objective, not subjective, or I should not waste good Magick on them. Let me say in particular in regard to Gods, that the God Jupiter whom you invoke is not necessarily the same as he whom I invoke. It is clear in any case that the revelation of himself to you is modified in many ways by your own particular sensitiveness; just as in ordinary life, your idea of a friend may be very different from my own conception of the same individual. Suppose, for example, he happens to be a musician, there will be an entire side…
…which was certainly not invented by Apuleius . The great magical arcanum reappears here under the figure of a mysterious union between a god and a weak mortal abandoned alone and naked on a rock . Psyche must remain in ignorance of the secret of her ideal royalty , and if she behold her husband she must lose him.-E. Lévi , The Doctrine of Transcendent Magic , p . 16 .

…or I, being a woman, lust ever to mate myself with some beast. And this is the salvation of the world, that always I am deceived by some god, and that my child is the guardian of the labyrinth that hath two-and- seventy paths. Now she is gone. And now there are Angels, walking up and down in the stone. They are the Angels of the Holy Sevenfold Table. It seems that they are waiting for the Angel of the Aethyr to come forth. Now at last he appears in the gloom. He is a mighty King, with crown and orb and sceptre, and his robes are of purple and g…
…t at a stroke; Russia was turning flank, pushing on through the Balkans subtly and surely. And the Kaiser answered, "I am the servant of God; I stand for peace. The Crown Prince is for war; I banish him from the Court. When I am dead let him be master; but while I live I am for peace. And let him that draws the sword perish by the sword!" And the Triple Entente gathered closer and chuck- led: Aha! he dare not fight. Let us frighten the garotte! So Servia plots and executes the crime of Sarajevo. Austria, its aged Emperor smitten yet again and m…
… as a fly that walketh upon a beryl-stone. And the tablet blazeth ever brighter till it filleth the whole Aire. And behold! there is one God therein, and the letters of the stars in his crown, Orion, and the Pleiades, and Alde- baran, and Alpha Centauri, and Cor Leonis, and Cor Scorpionis, and Spica, and the pole-star, and Hercules, and Regulus, and Aquila, and the Ram’s Eye. And upon a map of the stars shalt thou draw the sigil of that name; and because also some of the letters are alike, thou shalt know that the stars also have tribes and nat…
426 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS read One Star in Sight again, and do for God's sake try to assimilate the information there very clearly and very fully given! You say that you must tread the Path alone: quite true, if only because anything that exists for you is necessarily part of yourself. Yet you have to "go to others," and you become a veritable busybody. You quote odd opinions at random without the means of estimating their value. Cannot I ever get you to understand the difference between an honest and dishonest teacher? I have always made it a r…

This Silence or Equilibrium is described in the “ Shiva Sanhita” * as Samadhi: “When the mind of the Yogi is absorbed in the Great God,{ then the fulness of Samadhi t is attained, then the Yogi gets steadfastness.§ Though Frater P. had not attained to this Steadfastness, he had won a decisive victory over the lower states of Dhyana as far back as October 1901, which shows that though he was still distant he was by degrees nearing a state in which he would find no more Worlds to Conquer. However, up to this point, there are several results…

…ap — hast thou seen a village, with its smug Swiss thieves, whelmed by the avalanche, the avalanche of elemental force, the avalanche of God ? Nay, I remember noth- ing ; I know I found myself naked in his naked arms, his giant member still throbbing and beating in my flooded bowels, and the world was aswim before mine eyes. I tell thee, man, that the first kiss of man to man is more than the most elaborately manipulated or- gasm that the most accomplished and most pas- sionate courtesan can devise. That is, it is not a physical,9 but a spiritu…
