KE®@AAH M THE HIMOG" A red rose absorbs all colours but red; red is therefore the one colour that it is not. This Law, Reason, Time, Space, all Limita- tion blinds us to Truth. AJl that we know of Man, Nature, God, is just that which they are not; it is that which they throw off as repugnant. The HIMOG is only visible insofar as He is imperfect. Then are they all glorious who seem not to be glorious, as the HIMOG is All-glorious Within? It may be so. How then distinguish the inglorious and per- fect HIMOG from the inglorious man of earth? Disti…

…ove delights us well, And joy of sense full rolls; But leads us, and controls Life’s central citadel. Whence we were drawn who knows? Of law or Gods or chance? But, as life’s river flows, What Sea shall clasp and close Beyond blind circumstance? Such little power we own Of vague experience, And instinct to enthrone The life’s mere needs alone, Nor answer “why” and “ whence. Nor wandering in the night Our minds may apprehend Reflecting in pure light Of soul, what sound or sight May lead us to some end. We hear the dim sound roll From distant mou…

…eas ; And birds unheard-of darken air With royal wings, like argosies Sailing beneath magnific promontories ! Let Caliphs mete fantastic law And ebon eunuchs swing the sword So swift, so curved,—let voiceless awe Sit on the palace dome, to draw Some god’s destruction on its smiling lord! May many a maiden comely clad Revolve in convoluted curls, Till from each pliant pose I had (By virtue of her wondrous whirls) The illusion of a thousand dancing-girls! Let harlots robed in gold and green Sit slowly waving ivory plumes And wings of palm; the wh…

… an Infi- nite intelligence must have been at work on this cosmos. I reply No ! There is no intelligence at work worthy of the name. The Laws of Nature may be generalised in one—the Law of Inertia. Everything moves in the direction determined by the path of least resistance ; species arise, develop, and die as their collec- tive inertia determines; to this Law there is no exception but the doubtful one of Free- will ; the Law of Destiny itself is form ally and really identical with it.2 1 Causality is itself a secondary , and in its limitation …

…lakes The soul-consuming fevers that within Thy heart the fires of hell on earth begin ! O heart whose yearning after truth forsakes The law of love! O heart whose ocean breaks In sterile foam against some golden skin ! O thou whose body is one perfect prayer, One long regret, one agony of shame, Lost in the fragrance, speeding, subtle and rare, Up to the sky, an avenue of flame! My soul, thy body, know the same delight, And burn that incense still in Heaven’s despite.

…ss through the critical moment. Just as I got out of the house, I was met by Sister Athena. “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law,” she said. It was the regular morning greeting at the Abbey. Accustomed as I was to the phrase, it still took me rather aback. “‘ Good-morning,”’ I said in a rather embarrassed way. ** The answer is ‘ Love is the law, love under will,’ ” she smiled. ‘“‘ We exchange this greeting so as to make sure that the sight of our friends doesn’t distract us from the Great Work. Now we can talk about whatever we like…

…lynch him, he can get away with it. "An Enemy of the People" wrote Ibsen, "Ye are against the people, 0 my chosen!" says The Book of the Law. (AL, II: 25) Not only does it seem to me the only conceivable way of reconciling this and similar passages with "every man and every woman is a star" to assert the sovereignty of the individual, and to deny the right-to-exist to "class-consciousness," "crowd-psychology," and so to mob-rule and Lynch-Law, but also the only practicable plan whereby we may each one of us settle down peaceably to mind his own…

…ter I k Verse 51 51 Such acts as rape, and the assault or seduction of infants, may therefore be justly regarded as offences against the Law of Liberty, and repressed in the interests of that Law. It is also excluded from “as ye will” to compromise the liberty of another person indirectly, as by taking advantage of the igno rance or good faith of another person to expose that person to the constraint of sickness, poverty, social detriment, or childbearing, unless with the well-informed and uninfluenced free will of that person. One must moreov…

XXXI Ay! There's a law! For this recede, Hide with me in the deepest caves Of some volcanic island ; bleed Our hearts out by the ambient waves Of Coromandel; live alone, Hermits of love and pity, far Where tumbled banks of ice are thrown, Watched by yon solitary star, Sirius ; there to work together In sorrow and in joy but one, In black inhospitable weather, Or fronting the Numidian sun, Equally minded; till the hour Strike of release, and we obtain The passionless and holy power, Making us masters over pain, And lords of peace: the rays of li…

Commentary: Stanza 3 suggests the Rosicrucian Benediction: May thy Mind be open unto the Higher! May thy Heart be the Centre of Light!

But I, too, am the master of mine. ‘If Power asks Why, then is Power weakness,’ as we readin the Book of the Law; and it’s not my destiny to give you any drugs this morning.” “ But you're interfering with my Will,” protested Cockie, almost vivaciously. “It would take too long to explain,” returned Lamus, “ why I think that remark unfair. But to quote the Book of the Law once more, ‘Enough of Because, be he damned for a dog.’ Instead, let me tell you a story.” We tactfully expressed eagerness to hear it. “The greatest…

354 The Diary of a Drug Fiend ‘** Love is the law, love under will.” I thrilled again, this time with a combination of surprise and exultation which was curiously unintelligi- ble. Then I saw, in one corner of the room, behind the array of benches and tables crowded with neatly dis- posed apparatus, a glimmering form. The back was turned to us; it was on the floor busily occupied in cleaning up. ‘This is Sir Peter Pendragon,” said Big Lion, “‘ who is coming to take charge of the laboratory.” My eyes were still unaccustomed to the gloom, but I c…

KE@®AAH OH WHEEL AND—WOA! The Great Wheel of Samsara. The Wheel of the Law [Dhamma]. The Wheel of the Taro. The Wheel of the Heavens. The Wheel of Life. All these Wheels be one; yet of all these the Wheel of the TARO alone avails thee con- sciously. Meditate long and broad and deep, O man, upon this Wheel, revolving it in thy mind! Be this thy task, to see how each card springs necessarily from each other card, even in due order from The Fool unto The Ten of Coins. Then, when thou know’st the Wheel of Destiny complete, mayst thou perceive THAT …

…n he liked by whistling for her. The dialogue reverted after this short digression to the subject that enthralled us --- The Book of the Law. I astounded his science by setting forth the facts of its origin, and the evidence of its contents that the author possessed the key to several problems insoluble by any intellect hitherto incarnate. We talked day and night for a fortnight. On his part, he showed me a great many mysteries in The Book of the Law that I had not suspected till then. I may indeed say that more than once he asked me some quest…

Lying at his feet as dead, I saw The leaping-forth of Law: Division of the North wind and the South, he lightning of the armies of the Lord ; East rolled asunder from the rended West ; Height clove the depth: the Voice begotten said : ‘* Divided be thy ways and limited !” Answered the reflux and the indrawn breath : ‘¢ Let there be Life, and Death !” ‘*The Earth, she shall be governed by her parts :? Division be upon her! Let her glory From crown to valley, sourc…

…ut, then, knowledge. O.K., that implies a knower, a thing known-and so on and so forth, through all the Three Waste Paper Baskets of the Law; analysed, it turns out to be nonsense all dolled up to look like thinking. And there is no genuine explanation of the origin of the Will to be. How different, how simple, how self-evident, is the doctrine of The Book of the Law! There are any number of passages dealing with this matter in my writings: let's forget them, and keep to the Text! Cap. I, v. 26: . .. my ecstasy, the consciousness of the continu…
