…s, distinet from men and things. In fact personally,I believe in them all, and admit them to possess inconcei- yable though not infinite power. The Buddhists admit the existence of Maha-Brahma, but his power and knowledge are limited and his age- long day must end.

… ; that is, every “sainC’ or magician must give the last drop of his life’s blood to tliat cup. It is the original price paid for magick power. And if by magick power we mean the true power, the assimilation of ail force with the Ultimate Light, the true Bridai of the Rosy Cross, then is that blood the offering of Virginity, the sole sacrifice well-pleasing to the Master, the sacrifice whose only reward is the pain of child-bearing unto him.

… of phenomena. (Thus, symbols, the Qabalah, etc. enable us to communicate with whom we choose.) 7) “Astral” Beings possess knowledge and power of a different kind from our own; their “universe” is presumably of a different kind from ours, in some respects. (Our idea “bone” is not the same as a dog’s; a short-sighted man sees things differently to one of normal vision.) It is more convenient to assume the objective existence of an “Angel” who gives us new knowledge than to allégé that our invocation has awakened a supernormal power in ourselves.…

He shows me, in a mocking 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.
