…omenon is observed when a gentleman who has taken an “honours degree” in modem languages at Cambridge arrives in Paris, and is unable to order his dinner. To exclaim against the Master Therion is to act like a person who, observing this, should attack both the professors of French and the inhabitants of Paris, and perhaps go on to deny the existence of France.

…(Of Dreams. IV: Contination) NOW firmly, o my son, that the true Will cannot err; for this is thine appointed course in Heaven, in whose order is Perfection. A Dream of Horror is therefore the most serious of all Warnings; for it signifieth that thy Will, which is Thy Self in respect of its Motion, is in Affliction and Danger.

If then there be a Traitor in the Consciousness, ho…

This he must do by exhibiting a symbol of the second order, a symbol suited to the intelligence of the second order of Initiates. This symbol, instead of be‐ ing universal, and thus beyond ordinary expression, must be further adapted to the intellec‐ tual capacity of the particular set of people whom it is the business of the hierophant to initi‐ ate.
