THE EQUINOX The claim of the Order that the true adepts were in charge of it was definitely disproved. 15. In the Order, with two certain exceptions and two doubtful ones, he found no persons prepared for initiation of any sort. 16. He thereupon by his subtle wisdom destroyed both the Order and its chief. 17. Being himself no perfect adept, he was driven of the Spirit into the Wilderness, where he abode for six years, studying by the light of reason the sacred books and secret systems of initiation of all countries and ages. 18. Finally, there …

THE EQUINOX Listen, we pray you, with attention: for once only does the Great Order knock at any one door. Whosoever knows any member of that Order as such, can never know another, until he too has attained to mas- tery.

THE HISTORY LECTION 7. Some years ago a number of cipher MSS. were dis- covered and deciphered by certain students. They at- tracted much attentio…

THE EQUINOX become a father in order that he may have more children to devour. To conquer love is to triumph over the whole of Nature. To submit it to justice is to rehabilitate life by devoting it to immortality; thus the greatest works of the Christian revelation are the creation of voluntary virginity and the sanctification of marriage. While love is nothing but a desire and an enjoyment, it is mortal. In order to make itself eternal it must become a sacrifice, for then it becomes a power and a virtue. It is the struggle of Eros and Anteros …

CONSTITUTION OF THE ORDER “They must each live in solitude, without more than the necessary speech even to casual neighbours, serving themselves in all respects, for three months con- tinuously, once at least in every two years.

In order to formulate its aspirations, faith is forced to borrow aspirations and images from the known.

Such is the profound reason of the apparent absurdity of symbolism. Let us give an example: If faith said that God was impersonal, one might conclude that God is only a wor…

Therefore is the Choice given unto him, whether he will destroy his Temple, and give up his Life, extending it to Universal Life, or whether he will make a Fortress about that Temple, and abide therein, in the false Sphere of Daath, which is in the Abyss. And to the Adepts of our Holy Order this Choice is terr…
