…ulous characters of which we hear so much and see so little, is to point out the analogy of lawn-tennis and life in a light and humorous way which even on the most blasé of Freshmen will be unlikely to pall. I will quote you the Walt that was Whitman, the Wilde that was Oscar, the Vincent O’Sullivan, paean | and chant of the classical world, songs from America due to the lyre of the Harte that was Bret. ~ And all these estimable personages, very useful in their way, but to be strenuously opposed if they should endeavour to put their oar into mo…

Confessions of Aleister Crowley
…or example, I worked out a route up the Aiguille du Gant from the Montanvers. This mountain had never been climbed fairly. The ordinary way up is a matter of engineering by means of pitons and wire ropes. I did not keep my knowledge to myself in order to have the glory of making the first ascent. I indicated the way up to other climbers and was absolutely overjoyed when two Austrian amateurs made the climb. In the same way, I am perfectly satisfied at having broken down the dishonest and imbecile traditions of Badminton and only regret that I …

Magick Without Tears
… in any European terminology . The very ftrst word "Tao" presented a completely insoluble problem. It had been translated "Reason," "The Way," "TO ON." None of these convey any true conception of the Tao. The Tao is Reason in this sense, that the substance of things may be in part apprehended as being that necessary relation between the elements of thought which determines the laws of reason. In other words, the only reality is that which compels us to connect the various forms of illusion as we do. It is thus evidently unknowable, and expressi…

The Winged Beetle
THE WIZARD WAY 29 Shot with golden specks of fire Like a virgin with desire. Look, the levers ! fern-frail fronds Of fantastic diamonds, Glimmering with ethereal azure In each exquisite embrasure. On the shaft the letters laced, As if dryads lunar-chaste With the satyrs were embraced, Spelled the secret of the key : Sic pervenias. And he Went his wizard way, inweaving Dreams of things beyond believing. When he will, the weary world Of the senses closely curled Like a serpent round his heart Shakes herself and stands apart. So the hearts blood …

125 Karma does not work in this way at all. In any case moral fables have to be very carefully constructed, or they may prove dangerous to those who use them. You will remember Bunyan's Passion and Patience: naughty Passion played with all his toys and broke them, good little Patience put them carefully aside. Bunyan forgets to mention that by the time Passion had broken all his toys, he had outgrown them. Karma does not act in this tit-for-tat way. An eye for an eye is a sort of savage justice, and the idea of justice in our human sense is qui…

Victor B . Neuburg . A LOST SPIRIT . ( The Spirit seeks re-incarnation .) | PASS by darkened windy ways , 1 Through bog and dripping heather ; I flash before the silver rays The moon holds tight together . I sing beneath the waning moon ; An ancient god -forgotten rune Springs to my lips to taste , and soon The way behind with light is strewn. O silent city silver - lit, O rainy roads reflecting Tall houses where the old ghosts fit , Their shadows thin projecting Across my path — the street lamps glare Before my soft eyes everywhere . Ah ! men …

… egoistic devils, vain, 124, strutting peacocks, preening and screaming! This is simply damnable. Egoism is the spur of all energy, in a way; and in this particular case it is the one thing that is not Adonai (whatever else may be) and so the antithesis of the Work. Bricks without straw, indeed] That’s nothing to it. This job is like being asked to judge a Band contest and being told that one may do anything but listen. Only worse! One could form some idea of how they were playing through other senses; in this case every faculty is the enemy of…

And His Way of Truth was Analysis, made possible by great Intention of the Mind toward itself, and that well fortified by certain tempered Rigour of Life. And He most thoroughly explored and Mapped out the Fastnesses of the Mind, and gave the Keys of its Fortresses into the Hand of Man. But of all this the Quintessence is in this one Word Anatta, because this is not only the foundation and the Result of his whole Doct…

…he most successful courtesans are those who have the most tricks in their bags. I will not argue that this complexity is better than the Way of the Tao. It is probably a perversion of taste, a spiritual caviar. But as the poet says: It may seem to you strange: The fact is—I like it! 81. For itis written: “Teach to eschew all causes; the rip- ple of effect, as the great tidal wave, thou shalt let run its course.” This verse apparently contradicts completely the long philippic against inaction, for the Object of those who counsel non-action is to…

…as become subconscious. It is as if Mr. Stuart possessed instinctively that supreme method described by the Chinese under the title The Way of the Tao. Consciousness is a symptom of disease. All that moves well moves without will. All skillfulness, all strain, all intention is contrary to ease. Unless this method is actually seen in operation, it is almost incomprehensible. Yet it is the only key to true and perfect success. The Chinese express it in another way. They say: Do everything by doing nothing. The only way in which we can bring…

This is the way to success, and this is the way great spiritual giants are produced. Others are mere talking machines. . . . To succeed, you must have tremendous perseverance, tremendous will. “I will drink the ocean,” says the persevering soul. “At my will mountains will crumble up.” Have that sort of energy, that sort of will, work hard, and you will reach the goal.* “O Keshara,” cries Arjuna, “enjoin in me this terribl…
