…orld, I have but one hope of making any profound impression, viz.—that my theory has the merit of explaining the divergences between the three great forms of religion now existing in the world—Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity , and of adapting them to ontological science by conclusions not mystical but mathematical. Of M ohamme- dism I s hall not now treat, as , in whatever light we may decide to regard it (and its esoteric schools are often orthodox), in any case it must fall under one of the three heads of Nihilism, Advaitism, and Dvaitism…

And yet another. I can never prevent myself from casting a glance, if not wholly sympa- thetic, at least curious, upon the crowd of out- casts who press upon an enclosure of a public concert. Across the night the orchestra throws festival chants, chants of triumph or of pleas- ure. The dresses fall glittering, glances are in-

The best method for a beginner is to imagine he has a pain in the body and then imagine that it passes directly into the Ajna. It does not pass through the in…

Thave spent more than three years in fits of alternate enthusiasm for, and disgust of, it.

…faith in these great sages. But at least there is no doubt that this is so. The letters of the Hebrew alphabet are twenty‐two. There are three “ Mother” Letters for the Elements, seven “Double Letters” for the Planets, and twelve “Single” Letters for the Signs of the Zodiac. But there are four Elements, not three. Or, including the element of Spirit (an impor‐ tant matter to initiates), there are five. There are therefore two letters of the alphabet which have to do double duty. The ele‐ ment of Fire is very close kin to the idea of Spirit; so …

At the great invocation following he extends the Shivalingam to infinite height, each letter of each word representing an exaltation of it by geometrical progression. Having seen this satisfactorily, he prostrates himself in adoration. When consciousness begins to return, he uses the final formula to raise that consciousness in the Shivalingam, springing to his feet at the moment of uniting himself with it, and lastly uttering that supreme song…

…ical weapon. The pommel of the Sword is in Death, the guard extends to Chesed and Geburah; the point is in jNIalkuth. Some magi make the three spheres of lead, tin, and gold respectively; the moons are silver, and the grip contains quicksilver, thus making the Sword symbolic of the seven planets.
