…ood and brain, Mere bitter fruit of pain Sought in the darkness of an harlot’s bed, To make me as one dead : To loose the girders of the soul, and gain Breathing and life for the Intelligible; Find death, yet findit living. Deep as Hell I plunged the soul; by all blind Heaven unbound The spirit, freed, pierced through the maze profound, And knew Itself, an eagle for a dove.

My soul became the bride To its own body, and my body leapt With passion from mine own imperial loins Begotten, and made strong from my own soul To answer it. I hail thee, son of mine, Thou royal offspring of a kingly sire, Less kingly for the single flower of love! I hail thee, son, the secret spouse of me, King of my body and this realm to-day ! For lo! the child leapt up within my womb, Hailing me mother, and …

…ve lain by thee, And felt thy kisses rain on me, And the hot beating of thy heart, When thy warm sweat should leave me cold, And my worn soul find out no bliss In the obscenities I kiss, And the things shameful that I hold. My nostrils sniff the luxury Of flesh decaying, bowels torn Of festive worms, like Venus, born Of entrails foaming like the sea. Yea, thou art dead. Thy buttocks now Are swan-soft, and thou sweatest not ; And hast a strange desire begot In me, to lick thy bloody brow ;

THE 0=2 EQUATION 63 centre outwards; a female from the circumference inwards. This is what is meant when we say that woman has no soul. It explains fully the difference between the sexes. Every "act of love under will" has the dual result (l) the creation of a child combining the qualities of its parents, (2) the withdrawal by ecstasy into Nothingness. Please consult what I have elsewhere written on "The Formula of Tetragrammaton"; the importance of this at the moment is to show how 0 and 2 appear constantly in Nature as the common Order of Eve…

The wicked can feel nothing, because they can love nothing: in order to love one must be good.

Ego. A <:Spell” of God is any form of conscious- ness, and a “Scourge” any form of action. The Charge, as a whole, demands for the Adept the control of every detail of the Universe which His Angel has created as a means of manifesting Himself to Himself. It covers command of the primary projection of the Possible in individuality, in the antithetical artifice which is the device of Mind, and in a balanced triplicity of modes or States of being whose combinations constitute the characteristics of Cosmos. It includes also a standard of structure,…

Yet never goes abroad without a buoyant heart. Such joys are his who loves the grassy knoll And contemplates the sad, effusive me. Nor seeks in vain the Virgin Marys holy shrine. [127]

We hear the loud murmur; we know him; we rest; We breathe in his breast.

I am the snake that devoureth the spirit of man with the lust of light. I am the sightless storm in the night that wrappeth the world about with desolation. Chaos is my name, and thick darkness.

Oh ! closer yet and closer yet The pearl of faces grows. The hai…
