One Light, let it become a thousand, and one sword ten thousand, that no man hide him from my Father’s eye in the Day of Judgment of my God. Let the Gods hide themselves: let the Angels be troubled and flee away: for the Eye of My Father is open, and the Book of the Aeons is fallen. Arise! Arise! Arise!

There is no royal road to illumination; that which I say in Light is truth to the children of the Light; to them of darkness is a confusion and a snare. Knew ye what agony the nimble acuteness of mine own dialectic was to me, ye would not envy me, O dullardsl For I fear ever, lest I be replacing truth of thought by mere expertness of mechanic skill. Then, seeing the thought as fear, I quench it masterly. Whence rise other evil things; the thought “ Is this too mere tri…

AMBERGRIS 79 The seas deep kisses salt and keen ; The sea assumes the lunar light, And hetheir eremite ! In their calm intercourse and kiss Even hell itself no longer is ; For nothing in their love abides That passes not beneath their tides, And who so bathes in light of theirs, And water, changes unawares To be no separate soul, but be Himself the moon and sea.
