…a, in the midst of the Five Hundred Thousand Arahats, ‘‘the wicked Jehjaour had joined himself with Mara to prevent the discovery of the truth. And in Mara’s fall he fell. At that moment all the currents of his continued and concen- trated Hate recoiled upon him and he fell into the Abyss of Being. And in the Halls of Birth he was cast out into the Lowest Hell—he became a clergyman of the Church of England, further than he had ever been before from Truth and Light and Peace and Love; deeper and deeper enmeshed in the net of Circumstance, bogged…
…ondition which limits our proposed operations. This is that, as the formula of any Work eflfects the extraction and visualization of the Truth from any “First Matter”, the “Stone” or “Elixir” which results from our labours will be the pure and perfect Individual originally inhérent in the substance chosen, and nothing else. The most skilful gardener cannot produce lilies from the wild rose; his roses will always be roses, however he hâve perfected the properties of his stock. There is here no contradiction with our previous thesis of the ultima…
…e exit of God has not wished to lag behind that of grammar. I have no use for American men, and only one use for American women.” “ Of a truth,” I said, “ the continent is accursed— a very limbo.” “ It is the counterfoil of evolution,” said the man wearily. There was silence. “ What can I do for you ? ” I asked. “ Are you indeed ill ?” vi
…glass, their features, The twin fiends Might-have-been and Should-have-done. Keep us, by Jesus ruth, What time the King-Ghost grins the truth ! The King-Ghost boasts eternal usurpature ; For in this pool of tears his fingers fret I had imagined, by enduring nature, The twin gods Thus-will-I and May-be-yet. God, keep us most from ill, What time the King-Ghost grips the will ! Silver and rose and gold what flame resurges ? What living light pours forth in emerald waves ? What inmost Music drowns the clamorous dirges ? Shrieking thy fly, …
…t judge men aright, Whose laws are eternal ! Those kings that in reigning For bribing or feigning Swerved never an hair From justice and truth ; Turned never a care To wrath or to ruth; Did justice, and died. Thither I haste To face the austere Faces of peace. Shall the lyre cease? Its music be waste? Themselves not hear? I stride to the presence and sing: and my soul is not conquered of fear. Now the road widens and grows darker still As if the shadow of some ancient tower Cast its deep spell on the reluctant will. Still tortuous winds the dee…
…of youth. They are nearest to the secret of the world, These lovers with their lithe white bodies curled Into the rhythm of a dance; the truth Is theirs that feel, not ours that idly see; Theirs that inhabit, and not ours that flee The intimate touch of love and think to sleuth By intellect all the scent of being, whirled In the wheel of time—roll back, slow years, and be A monument, a memory for me; That I may in their passion have a part, And feel their glory glow within my heart! II This holy rapture is the eternal spring, Here in the love t…

Now, then, he grasps the desperate truth He hath toiled these many years to see, Hath wasted strength, hath wasted youth— He was the Beast; the Beast was he! He rises from the cave of death, Runs to the sea with shining face To know at last the Bounteous Breath, To taste the Goodly Gift of Grace. Ah! Palamede, thou hast mistook! Thou art the butt of all confusion! Not to be written in my book Is this most drastic disillusion! So weak and ill wa…
…it, meaning a Substance incapable of Change. Thus, He, like Lao-Tze, based all upon a Movement, instead of a fixed Point. 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 Doctrine, b…
…xpressed in subjective symbols if necessary. The cori- troversy is ultimately unmeaning. However we interpret the evidence, its relative truth dépends in its internai cohérence. We may therefore say that any magical recollection is genuine if it gives the explanation of our external or internai conditions. Anything which throws light upon the Universe, anything which reveals us to ourselves, should be welcome in this world of riddles. As our record extends into the past, the evidence of its truth is cumulative. Every incarnation that we remembe…
… consider ail beings as parts of ourselves, but it is more convenant to regard them as independent. Maximum Conv emence is our canon of “Truth”. 1 We may thus refer 1 The passages referred to are as follows : , ^ef axiomes géométriques ne sont donc ni des jugements synthétiques a priori ni des faits expérimentaux. Ce sont des conventions... Dès lors, que doit-on penser de cette question : La géométrie Euclidienne est-elle vraie ? Elle n a aucun sens. Autant demander si le système métrique est vrai et les anciennes mesures fausses; si les coordo…

…yond Do what thou wilt.” But this may and shall be said, that a significance which indicates igno rance or forgetfulness of the central truth of the Universe, is an acquiescence in that opacity caused by the confusion of the veils which conceal the soul from the consciousness, and thus create the illusion which the aspirant calls Sorrow, and the uninitiate, Evil. The sexual act, even to the grossest of mankind, is the agent which dissipates the fog of self for one ecstatic moment. It is the instinctive feeling that the physical spasm is symbol…
…ment proves nothing; it is surely obvious that we are obliged to correlate all observations with the physical and mental structure whose truth we are trying to test. Indeed, we can assume an “unreasonable” axiom, and translate the whole of our knowledge into its terms, without fear of stum bling over any obstacle. Reason is no more than a set of rules developed by the race; it takes no account of anything beyond sensory impressions and their reactions to various parts of our being. There is no possible escape from the vicious circle that we ca…
…en home: the curse Of mockery’s blessing flung the dust upon her : The horses of Destruction dragged the hearse Over besmirchéd roads of Truth and Honour: The obscene God spat on the universe: The sods of Destiny were spattered on her :— Then rose thy spirit through the shaken skies : “Child of the Dawn, I say to thee, arise!” Through the ancestral shame and feudal gloom, Through medizval blackness rung thy pzean : Let there be light !—the desecrated tomb Gaped as thy fury smote the Galilean.
…rpool Street ! Curtain. What follows is strictly by request in the interest of ‘ healthy optimism’. So far my pen has touched with vivid truth The constant story of the eternal struggle Of age and sense with flatulence and youth. Now — see the venal poet start to juggle ! Young ladies, you desire to see a comedy ! The poet’s master pen shall twist the river Of song into a simple to-and-from eddy. And you shall laugh where once you feared to shiver. So listen to the happy termination Of this apparently so sad relation ! Twill suit your rosy drea…

I tell you, it is fierce. Theres nothing to be done. Theres hundred lies about ; I dont trust anyone. Some say the Doge is dead ; some say its the Princess ; I cant see anyone ; theres hundred lies, no less. Look, heres the nice young Count Alonzo. SHACKABACK. Good, my sons.

…me of bliss 'In thy most fearful sigh embosomed. What oracle should prate of this ? I know the secret thought that blossomed ! Extol the truth of love’s disdain ! Love, daring by no glance to gladden A heart that waits but that to madden In purple pleasure plucked of pain. | Nay! let our tears, that fail to sadden, . Extol the truth of love’s disdain ! Let deeper silence shield the deeper rapture ! _ Hardly our eyes reveal the inward Dliss, ' Sealed by no speech and shadowed by no kiss. Love is no wizard to elude recapture | _ In the strong pri…
…PECT OF RELIGION. The importance of religion to humanity is paramount. The reason is that all men perceive more of less the "First Noble Truth" --- that everything is sorrow; and religion claims to console them by an authoritative denial of this truth or by promising compensations in other states of existence. This claim implies the possibility of knowledge derived from sources other than the unaided investigation of nature through the senses and the intellect. It postulates, therefore, the existence of one or more praeter-human intelligences, …
