…t were, figuring before him a Pentagram and saying: “It is not complete without its top point.” This is undoubtedly correct, but at this time he still failed to realise that when once the Supernal Triad has descended and is resting on the topmost point of the Penta- gram, this being now the point of juncture becomes the most important of all points, and that the lower four are little better than supports, legs and arms to the body whose head now wears the Crown. When the pilgrim realises that the four characteristics of the Sphinx, the four ele…

The Yogi certainly obtains through this practice all kinds of powers at the same time enjoy- ing all the innumerable enjoyments of the world. 66. This Yoga can be practised along with much enjoyment ; therefore the Yogi should practise it. 67. There are two modifications of the VAJROLI, called Sahajoni, and Amarani.

His system, in fact, became extremely popular; even Charles Dickens playfully animadverts upon it in one of his novels. A secretar…

…urglars last night. We roused the house—but no traces could be found, The servants here are frightfully stupid. They irritate me all the time. One can’t sleep in this house. It’s too old. The wood cracks all the time. Just as one is on the verge of sleep some noise makes one more wide-awake than ever. I can’t bear the idea of being touched. My skin is very sensitive. It’s part of the spiritualising of my life, I suppose. I’m glad, though, that the new honeymoon didn’t last more than three or four days. It is irritating to one’s vanity. But that…

110 MYSTERIES: LYRICAL AND DRAMATIC Why not with time? To-morrow we may see The circle ended—if to-morrow be— And gaze on chaos, and a week bring back Adam and Eve beneath the apple tree. Or, like the comet, the wild race may end Out into darkness, and our circle bend Round to all glory in a sudden sweep, And speed triumphant with the sun to friend. Tove will not leave my home. She knows my tears, My angers and caprices ; still my ears Listen to singing voices, till I weep Once more, less sadly, and set hounds on fears. She will not leave me co…

For the second time the man-who-had-lost-his- cover left me alone; and I felt more relieved. He will never dare, thought I; and, after all, he does not look such a cold- blooded murderer. His eyes indicate some sort of inner life and his tone and voice are gentle at times. It is a joke, a mystification. . . . It must be. Thus I tried to deceive myself, and I must admit that I utterly failed. Looking, then, around my prison, …

…lan ? Must I move upward in the stream of Man, God-ward : my life as Christ to sacrifice, As Buddha to repress : to grow so wise, Space, time shall lie within my finger-span ? I know not which I wish : either I can ; Not both, unless all meditation lies. I am not sure : if love as great as ours May not be God to part of us at least, Leaving the Rest to find its heights and powers In other spheres ; that, night’s enamoured priest ; This, on the lake the dewy lotus-flowers That lift their jewelled hearts toward the East. 94

…he heirs of eternal life. We had nothing to do with death. That was a pretty wise bird who said, “To-morrow never comes.” We were out of time and space. We were living according to the instruction | of our Saviour: “ Take no thought for the morrow.’ A great restlessness gripped us. Paris was perfectly impossible. We had to get to some place where time doesn’t count. The alternation of day and night doesn’t matter so much; but it’s absolutely intolerable to be mixed up with people who are working by the clock. We were living in the world of the …

Mabel had however divided her favours with a very strange man whose career had been extraordinary. He had been an officer in a cavalry regiment, a doctor, and I know not how many other things in his time. He was now in desperate poverty and depended entirely on Mabel Collins for his daily bread. This man claimed to be an advanced Magician, boasting of many mysterious powers and even occasionally demonstr…

The future saint (far indeed from saintship at this time— but the ways of Providence are indeed wondrous!) knew that there was an inner order, but had no idea of its name; he only noticed that he was not invited to enter it. So, to pass the time, he wrote his Real History of the Rosicrucians, in which he proved conclusively that there were no Rosicrucians and never had been, and that if any moderns claimed to be Rosicrucians there was “that difference between t…

…e fires illuminate my brow Lit of the Holy Ghost ; I see the angel figures bow On heaven’s silent coast. Eternity, a wheel of light, And Time, a fleece of snow, I saw, and deep beyond the night, The steady mystic glow Of that lamp’s flame unearthly bright That watches Earth below. Long avenues of sleepy trees And bowers arched with love, And kisses woven for a breeze, And lips that scarcely move, Save as long ripples on the seas, That murmur like a dove. I saw the burning lips of God Set fast on Mary’s face, 94
