THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HASHISH word which we call a thought, seem to stand at a definite dis- tance in space behind the thought, the thought being farther from the perceiving soul. Looking at each glyph, one perceives, too, that itself is made up of other glyphs yet nearer to the Self, these glyphs, however, being formless and nameless; they are not truly perceived, but one is somehow aware of them. Unfortunately, the tendency to fall into effect (6) makes it very difficult to concentrate on the analysis of these ideas, so that one is hurried on to …

…at they are only one. For what is the state of either prayer or meditation? It is the restraining of the mind to a single act, state, or thought. If we sit down quietly and investigate the contents of our minds, we shall find that even at the best 05 times the principal characteristics are wandering and distraction. Any one who has had anything to do with children and untrained minds generally knows that fixity of attention is never present, even when there is a large amount of intelligence and good will. If then we, with our well-trained minds, …

And as he advances in the knowledge of his mind he will come to understand that its whole structure is so faulty that it is quite incapable, even in its most exalted moods, of truth. He will recognize that any thought merely establishes a relation be- tween the Ego and the non-Ego. Kant has shown that even the laws of nature are but the conditions of thought. And as the current of thought i…

To find God ? All my life long I have gazed, and dreamed, and thought, Unless my thought itself were but a dream, A little, troubled dream, a dream of death Whence I may wake—ah, where ?

From them drips This hearts blood ; you have fed your fill on me. I am exhaust, a pale, wan phantom floating Aimless in air, than which I am thinner.

The word acts upon souls, and souls react upon bodies; consequently one can frighten, console, cause to fall ill, cure, even kill, and raise from the dead by means of words. To utter a name is to create or evoke a being. In the name is contained the verda/ or spiritual doctrine of the being itself. When the soul evokes a thought, the sign of that tho…

To the advanced Student a simple ordinary thought, which seems little or nothing to the beginner, becomes a great and terrible fountain of iniquity, and the higher he goes, up toa certain point, the point of definitive victory, the more that is the case. The beginner can think, ‘it is ten o’clock,’ and dismiss the thought. To the mind of the adept this sentence will awaken all its possible correspondences, all the reflec- tions he has ever made on tim…

ANIMA LUNAE II7 That shape vibrated to the tune Of thought lulled low ; the stirless swoon Half felt its fellow gather close, Yet stirred not : now the intruder moves, Turns the tune slowlier to grave rows Of palm trees, losing life in loves Less turbid than the mildest dream That ever stirred the stream Whereon night floats, a shallop faint, Ivory and silver bow and beam, Dim-figured with the images Divinely quaint Of gold engraved, forth shadowing sorceries. So the king dreamed of love : and passing on The shape moved quicker, winnowing with …

I am ashamed to say that my first thought was of the Catholic Church and its masses for the repose of the dead. I went to the Cathedral, revolving as I went all that had ever been saidthe superstitions of a hundred savage tribes. At bottom I could find no difference be- tween their barbarous rites and those of Christianity. However that might be, I was baffled. The priests refused to pray for the soul of a heretic.
