What inmost Music drowns the clamorous dirges ? Shrieking thy fly, the King-Ghost and his slaves. Lord, let Thy Ghost indwell, And keep us from the power of Hell ! Amen.

Such a banker will prove himself superior to others; because he will not be an individual limited by transitory things, but a force of Nature, as împersonal, impartial and eternal as gravitation, as patient and irrésistible as the tides. His System will not be subject to panic, any more than the law of Inverse Squares is disturbed by Elections. He will not be anxious about his affairs because they will not be his; and for that reason he will be able to direct them with the calm, clear-headed confidence of an onlooker, with intelligence unclou…

… (2) to reject all images of the Absolute, knowing that attainment thereof would be the signal for the manifestation of that part of its nature which necessarily formulates itself in a new universe of images. Realizing that these two courses (the materialist’s and the mys tic’s) are equally fatuous, we may engage in either or both of two other plans of action, based on assent to actuality. We may (1) ascertain our own particular properties as partial projections of the Absolute; we may allow every image presented to us to be of equally intrins…

…begets children on one plane or another of this our cosmos, whose matter is so varied in kind. Such a child must partake of its father’s nature; and its character will be determined, partly by the environment in which it is bred to manifestation, lives, and ulti mately changes in what we call death, and partly by the inmost will of the father, perhaps modified to some extent by his con scious will at the time of his slipping the leash. This being so, it becomes tremendously important to a man that he should become conscious of his true inmost…

…ll in the Zodiac is an Earthy sign, and this is the central sign of the three through which the Sun passes during Spring. But the bovine nature is also gentle; wherefore they said that Venus rules the Sign of Taurus. The Cow, moreover, is the principal milk‐giving animal, so they made her the Great Mother‐Goddess, thus identifying her with the Moon, the Mother of Heaven as the Sun is the Father.

Thus, if he be cast out into 3° = 8°, it is no part of his work to aim at the virtues of a 4° = 7°; all that has been done long before. It is no business of his to be bothering his head about anything at all but his…
