… a Verses 51—52 59 ness sets up the illusion of duality, which leads to excision and destruction. “direful”: because Ra-Hoor-Khuit is a “god of War and of Vengeance”; see Cap. III.

God is on their side, as on that of the victim in Browning’s înstans Tyrannus. A man cannot compel himself to love, however much he may want to, on various rational grounds. But on the other hand, when the true impulse cornes, it overwhelms ail its critics; they are powrerless either to make or break a genius; it can only testify to the fact that it has met its master. 295 —

As a spirit in a vision shows a countenance of fear, Laughs the looker to derision, only comes to disappear, Gods and mortals, mind and matter, in the glowing bud dissever: Vein from vein they rend and shatter, and are nothingness for ever.

To endeavour to bring all to the knowledge of the Law, is to keep the Law. Seek ye the Law that ye may be Free. Wisdom, Love and Power, these three are One. That these should be One is the Law. 136

One must never forget that a child will be born of that deed. One must choose the environment appropriate to the particular child which one wills to create.
