The Equinox (Volume I, Number II)

…ination purposes and “ sixth-form” students in psychology—follows in the main the theories more widely known in this country through the works of Minsterberg, and rejects such of those of Wundt as are based by him upon that a priori auxiliary function, the so-called “apperception.” “From the outstart,” states Professor Ziehen, “the conception ‘ unconscious psychical pro- cesses’ is for us an empty conception”; and so, on the strength of this assertion, he attempts to work out the whole of his argument empirically. This he does rationally enough…

…s. It is impossible here to convey to the reader a just estimate of the extreme value of this book. But we can say that this is the best work on the Bhakti-Yoga yet written. Union through devotion is Bhakti- Yoga, and union with Isvara or the Higher Self is the highest form this union can take—“ man will be seen no more as man, but only as God; the animal will be seen no more as an animal, but as God; even the tiger will no more be seen a tiger, but as a manifestation of God”... “love knows no bargaining ... love knows no reward . .. love knows…

Cambridge Poets 1900–1913

… Might scarcely shape such beauty out of dust Did you forsake the earth . And yours the wonder of all times and lands , Of tongues , and work of human hearts and hands , Of thought , and deeds , and art . Only to you the unbroken temple stands That human love has wrought in every part To endure among the sands . For you beyond all earthly good we crave , Loveliest of spirits visiting us , save Your shy and seldom brother Who dwells beyond the silence of the grave ; And well it may be, you but serve that other , And his the best you gave . 188

Liber Aleph

… we have here a Cooperation of Alliance between the Inner and the Outer Self, and thus an Accomplishment, at least partial, of the Great Work. And therefore is Confusion or Terror in any such Practice an Error fearful indeed, bringing about Obsession, which is a temporary or even it may be a permanent Division of the Personality, or Insanity, and therefore a defeat most fatal and pernicious, a Surrender of the Soul to Choronzon. c

…ccuracy of its details. The Master Therion has made an Epoch in the Art of Magick by applying the Method of Science to its problems. His Work is a contribution of unique value, comparable only to that of those men of genius who revolutionized the empirical guess- work of “natural philosophers”. The Magicians of to-morrow will be armed with mathematical theory, organized observation, and experimentally- verified practice. But their Art will remain inscrutable as ever in essence; talent will never supplant genius. Education is impotent to produce…

Little Poems in Prose

…HE sun overwhelms the town with its di- rect and terrible light; the sand dazzles and the sea glitters; the tired world has given up its work and is taking its siesta; a siesta which is a kind of sweet-savoured death, where the sleeper, half awake, tastes the pleasures of his annihilation. Dorothy, however, as strong and as bright as the sun, walks in the deserted street; at this hour she is the sole living being under the mighty vault of blue; she makes a startling black blot upon the light. She moves forward, softly swaying her deli- cate tor…

There is great capac‐ ity for lucid conception and steady prosecution of work; but this is only at the bidding, and under the guidance, of some creative mind. There is a tendency to be fickle, even disloyal; the ideas which she obeys make no deep or permanent impression. She will “cleave to the little boy and let go the man of age and experience” or the reverse (lines 2 and 3) without realizing what she is doing. There is liability of fits of melancholy, which she seeks to cure by …
