…e is a very different person from the feeble emasculate cabbage-chewing victim of anzemia, with its mind which has gained what it calls emancipation by for- getting how to think. Little as it ever knew! Not in such may one find the true Adept. Read Liber Legis, Chap. II., verse 24, and learn where to look for hermits. 55. A sense of pride would mar the work. Aye, build it strong, lest the fierce rush of battling waves, that mount and beat its shore from out the great World Maya’s Ocean, swallow up the pilgrim and the isle—yea, even when the vic…

…By rare gocd fortune, at the very moment when this aspect of the question was confronting me, and I was (so any one would have imagined) many thousand miles from expert opinion, I had the opportunity of putting the matter before him. Our conversa- tion was pretty much as foliows: ‘* What is the cause of the phenomenon I have de- scribed?” (I had given just such a sketch as we have drawn above, and added that it was the most cherished possession of all Eastern races. The state was familiar to him.) ‘‘ Excessive activity of one portion of the bra…

…, to resume, I was just passing from a state of dreadful mental agony to a more settled and hopeful disposition. For the second time the man-who-had-lost-his- cover left me alone; and I felt more relieved. He will never dare, thought I; and, after all, he does not look such a cold- blooded murderer. His eyes indicate some sort of inner life and his tone and voice are gentle at times. It is a joke, a mystification. . . . It must be. Thus I tried to deceive myself, and I must admit that I utterly failed. Looking, then, around my prison, I began t…

…ame state of mind several times. This leads to extreme difficulty in the study of their works on psychology and the like. The origi- nal man, Buddha, or whoever he may have been, dug out of his mind a sufficient number of jewels, and the wretched in- tellectuals who edited his work have added bits of glass to make up the string. The result has been that many scholars have thought that the whole psychology of the East was pure bluff. A similar remark is true of the philosophy of the West, where the Schoolmen produced an equal obfuscation. Even n…

… little difference - barring our Occidental subtlety — between Chinese philosophy and English," observed Cyril Grey. "The Chinese bury a man alive in an ant heap; the English introduce him to a woman." Lisa la Giuffria was startled into normality by the words. They were not spoken in jest. And she began to take stock of her surroundings. Cyril Grey himself was radically changed. In fashionable London he had worn a claret-coloured suit, an enormous grey butterfly tie hiding a soft silk collar. In bohemian Paris his costume was diabolically cleri…

This rapture is accompanied by a tempest of brilliant light, almost always, and also in many cases by an outburst of sound, stupendous and sublime in ail cases, though its character may vary within wide limits. 1 The spate of stars shoots from the head of the Will-Symbol, and is scattered over the sky in glit- tering galaxies. This dispersion destroys the con¬ centration of the adept, whose mi…

…cated and by what means promulgated? My first object was to eliminate from the hundreds of rituals at my disposal all exoteric elements. Many degrees contain statements (usually inaccurate) of matters well known to modern schoolboys, through they may have been important when the rituals were written. I may mention one degree in which the candidate is portentiously informed that there are other religions in the world besides Christianity and that there is some truth in all of them. Their tenets are explained in many cases with egregious error. T…

But to the man who is already as uneasy as St. Lawrence on his silver grill, who feels the Spirit stir in him, even as a woman feels, and sickens at, the first leap of the babe in her womb, to him I bring the splendid vision, the perfume and the glory, the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.

… the Majesty and the Beauty derive from the Supernal Wisdom. But this is a mystery utterly beyond thine understanding. For Wisdom is the Man, and Understanding the Woman, and not until thou hast perfectly understood canst thou begin to be wise. But I reveal unto thee a mystery of the Aethyrs, that not only are they bound up with the Sephiroth, but also with the Paths. Now, the plane of the Aethyrs interpenetrateth and surroundeth the universe wherein the Sephiroth are estab- lished, and therefore is the order of the Aethyrs not the order of the…

Why wait for aday? We had got to the stage where every minute counted. As the Scotchman said to his son, half-way through the ten-mile walk to kirk, when the boy said, “It’s a braw day the day.” “Is this a day to be ta’king 0’ days?” Thinking of days makes you think of years, and thinking of years makes you think of death, which is ridiculous.
