…n its scope, is but a parasite on its own dam until the fusion is complete. So, when a woman is "so good," "so devoted to her daughter," God help the daughter! She is never allowed to think for herself in the minutest matters ; she is bound hand and foot remorselessly to the routine of her "decent Christian home"; a wageless kitchen-slut. No hope of escape unless the mother's vampirism takes the form of seIling her off to the highest bidder . Need it be added that the "good mother" is usually quite unaware of all this, will read these simple st…

… who I was? He wanted some H. badly; finding it gone, made him want it insanely. He took one of the packets and began to chew it. “Thank God,” he said, ‘it’s quite bitter. There must be a lot in the dress.” | I was shivering and faint. I got another packet, and put it in my mouth. He went wild and clutched me by the hair, and forced open my jaws with his finger and thumb. I struggled and kicked and scratched ; but he was too strong. He got it out and put it in his own mouth. Then he hit me in the face as I sat. I went flat and limp, and began t…

Now then, when he writes "soul" does he mean Atma, or Buddhi, or the Higher Manas, or Purusha, or Yechidah, or Neschamah, or Nephesch, or Nous, or Psyche, or Phren, or Ba, or Khu, or Ka, or Animus or Anima, or Seele, or what?

…n AL, III : 59: Significant, perhaps, that this and a restatement of Thelema came immediately before "There is an end of the word of the God enthroned in Ra's seat, lightening the girders of the soul." (AL III: 61) And this is "As brothers fight ye!" Perhaps the Aeon may give birth to some type of warfare "under Queensbery rules" so to say. A baptism of those who assert their right to belong to the Master class. Something, in short, not wholly dissimilar from the jousts of Feudal times. But on such points I should not care to adventure any very…

124 The Law is for All bounded by death; and his spy-glass is smeared with the idea of sin. The New /Eon proclaims Man as Immortal God, eternally active to do His Will. All’s Joy, all’s Beauty; this Will we celebrate. In this verse we see how the awakening leads to ordered and purposeful action. Joy and Beauty are the evidence that our func tions are free and fit; when we take no pleasure, and find nothing to admire, in our work, we are doing it wrong. 36. There are rituals of the elements and feasts of the times. 37. A feast for the first nig…

…y one. But this religious ecstasy takes place in the highest centres of the human organism ; it is the soul itself that is united to its God ; and for this reason the rapture is more overpowering, the joy more lasting, and the resultant energy more pure and splendid, than in aught earthly. In ritual, therefore, we seek continually to unite the mind to some pure idea by an act of will. This we do again and again more and more passionately, with more and more determination, until at last the mind accepts the domination of the Will, and rushes of …

Of course he would never speak to me again either. I let him suffer for two or three days, then one afternoon I went across to his hotel and told him that this nonsense had gone on long enough; and it was time for him to learn something of life; I told him the facts. He regarded them as outrageous lies. I pointed out a hundred indications that they were true, but he was absolutely convinced of…

… if an objection it be) people like Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini, the Mikado, et hoc genus omne, are loyal emissaries of the Masters, or the gods! Well, why not? An analogy, once more. In the Christian legend we find God (omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent) employing Judas, Pilate and Herod, no less than Jesus, as actors in the Drama which replaced Isis by Osiris in the Great Formula. Perfectly true; but this fact does not in any way exculpate the criminals. It is no excuse for the Commandants of Belsen and Buchenwald that they were acting under o…
