… ere we enter practice. We do not mean what the bourgeois means when we say “the act of love.” To us it is not the gross gesture as of a man in a seizure, a snorting struggle, a senseless spasm, and a sudden revul sion of shame, as it is to him. We have an art of expression; we are trained to interpret the soul and the spirit in terms of the body. We do not deny the existence of the body, or despise it; but we refuse to regard it in any other light than this: it is the organ of the Self. It must never theless be ordered according to its own l…

…as married chastity.” Phenix and Turtle, YET ere the stars paled slowly in the east I could not sleep: and she—how else? What rest May a man know until his quiet breast Beats to her tune? I garbed me as a priest And moved towards my Host—on God I feast ! We lay in naked chastity, caressed Child-like or dreaming, till the dawn repressed Our sighs: that nuptial yet hath never ceased.

…ributions should be made for these purposes, and sent regularly, to the Treasurer, P. O. Box 93, Pasadena, California. In the Great Ages man realized his relation to all nature and to the living universe about him. He felt his "oneness" with earth, air, sea and stars; and in his fullness of Life he worshipped the Sun as a visible symbol of the Supreme, the Author of all Life, Heat and Energy. In our frivolous ego- centric way of living we have lost much of this essential realization. But that we may once more move toward the Awareness of Life a…

…he longer and more ambitious remains. How they w ere lost, and how those fragments we possess were saved, is best told by relating the romantic and almost incredible story of his life. The known facts of this life are few, vague, and unsatisfactory ; the more definite state- ments lack corroboration, and almost the only source at the disposal of the biographer is the letters of Mathilde Doriac to Mdme.

Arthwait shrieked out in terror that the Turk had gone mad: but Vesquit understood the truth. Abdul was the most sensitive of the party, and the least developed; it was in him that the spirit o…

Both are in a way rationalists. Wolff gives us idea unsupported by fact, and argues about it for year after year; Treacle does the same thing for fact unsupported by idea. Nor does the one escape the final bankruptcy of reason more than the other. While the theologian vainly tries to shuffle the problem of evil, the Rationalis…

…d that after all the bag was in one sense a part of myself. The two ideas came together with a snap, and I understood the machinery of a man’s delusion that he is a teapot. These two examples may give some idea to the reader of the light which mystical attainment throws upon the details of the working of the human mind. Further developments of this vision emphasized the iden tity between the Universe and the mind. The search for simi les deepened. I had a curious impression that the thing I was looking for was somehow obvious and familiar. Ul…
