…r confounding the Stars, nor denying the Laws of their Reaction, yet with Eagles Vision beholding the One Sun of the True Nature of the Whole. Verily, his is the Truth, and unto it did also Dionysus and Tahuti and Sri Krishna set the seal of their Witness. Cleanse herefore thine Heart, o my son, in the Waters of the Great Sea, and enkindle it with the Fire of the Holy Ghost. For his is His peculiar Work of Sanctification. n

…he golden chalice of love arose a perfume terrible and beau- tiful, a perfume strong and deadly to overcome the subtler fragrance of her whole being with its dominant, unshamed appeal. She lay with arms outstretched, as if awaiting the visita- tion of some god. Some ghastly god, for sure? For where she lay, the gilded lily with geranium lips, was, as it were, a flower of night. It was a small square room, black from edge to edge. A dull dead black that gave back no light from the two solemn candlesticks of silver, crowned with long guttering ta…

40 Coincidence Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. When I was writing that letter about prophecy, I was hot and bothered all the time by my faithful sentinel, the well-greaved Hoplite that stands at the postern of my consciousness, ready to challenge every thought-and woe to the intruder who cannot give the countersign! This time the dear old ruffian thought the matter serious enough to report Higher Up. "It is put plainly enough, emphatically enough, incontrovertibly enough" was the gist of his communication "that the …

…icated curves and even loops. One ascends rapidly; the view constantly changes; one begins to appreciate the geology of the country as a whole. In the foreground the tropical vegetation is superbly thick and rich. One is so relieved by the change to cool shade and a suggestion of moisture that it comes as a shock to remember that this is the Teri, one of the most deadly fever districts in the world. By lunchtime the character of the vegetation is already markedly altered. The heavy tangle of the low country begins to give place to mountain spri…

…hapter and the Sixteenth Verse. I did so. "Sit still. Stop thinking. Shut up. Get out!" The first two of these instructions comprise the whole of the technique of Yoga. The last two are of a sublimity which it would be improper to expound in this present elementary stage. The injunction 'Sit still' is intended to include the inhibition of all bodily stimuli capable of creating movement in consciousness. The injunction 'Stop thinking' is the extension of this to all mental stimuli. It is unnecessary to discuss here whether the latter can exist a…

There, the scared spot from wind well-guarded, May the lamp, the golden lamp, be lighted To illume the whole with final Rapture And destroy the House of pain for ever, Leave its laughter and its tears, and shatter All the causes of its mockery, master All the workings of its will, and vanish Into peace and light and bliss, whose nature Baffles so the little tongues of mortals That we name it not, but from its threshold, From the golden word upon its gateway, Style “ Cessation ” ; that whose self we guess not.

Slie is naked; her whole body is covered with fine gold hairs, that are the electric flames which are the spears of mighty and terrible Angels whose breastplates are the scales of her skin. And the hair of her head, that flows down to her feet, is the very light of God himself. Of all the glories beheld by the Seer in the Aethyrs, there is not one which is worthy to be compared with her littlest finger‐nail. For although he may …

72 Education Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Education means "leading out" ; this is not the same as "stuffing in." I refuse to enlarge on this theme ; it is all-important. To extract something, you should first know what is there. Here astrology ought to give useful hints ; its indications give the mind something to work on. Experience makes "confirmation strong as Holy Writ" ; but beware of a priori. Do not be dogmatic; do not insist in the face of disappointment. Astrology in education is useful as geology is to …
