…ifferent results. My own errors of judgment, due to the annihilation of my ego and the consequent lack of leadership felt by my body and mind, produced their own immediate effect. I did not yet understand the extent of my fault, or even its real cause and character, but I felt myself forced back into my proper orbit. I was the Spirit of solitude, the Wander in the Wilderness. I had no business to take part in the affairs of men by personal contact with them in their sheepfolds, monkey houses and pigstys. My sole link with them was to guide such…
…olling the object to be affected. (The Second Class may approximate to the 1 hird when there is no possibility of approaching the second mind by normal means, as sometimes happens). This class of operations demands not only immense knowledge of the technique of Magick combined with tremendous vigour and skill, but a degree of IVIystical attainment which is exceedingly rare, and when found is usually marked by an absolute apathy on the subject of any attempt to achieve any Magick at ail. Suppose that I wish to produce a thunderstorm. This event …
… eyes Remembrance crept of many a year, Barred gates of Paradise. Again the Voice rolled in the deep, mingled with murmuring sighs : “ I mind me of the day One came from Death to me ; His soul was weary of the day, His look was melancholy ; He bade me open in the Name that binds Eternity.
… to stay Lulled in their love beyond a day? No shoreland whistles to the wind So musically as Thrace: no town So gladdens the toil-weary mind As brave Athenae: no renown Stands so divine in war and peace As the illustrious name of Greece. This island of the subtle song Shall vanish as the shaken spray Tossed by the billow far and strong On marble coasts: we will not stay!
…s inhibitory power may flower suddenly in very much the same way as occurred with Asana. Quite without any relaxa- tion of vigilance, the mind will suddenly he stilled. There will be a marvellousfeeling of peace and rest, quite different from the lethargic feeling which is produced by over-eating. It is difficult to say whether so definite a result would come to all, or even to most people. The matter is one of no very great importance. If you have acquired the power of checking the rise of thought you may proceed to the next stage.
…h of personal preference will deflect the needle from the pôle of trnth in the answer. Unies? the diviner hâve banished utterly from his mind the minutest atom of interest in the answer to his question, he is almost certain to influence that answer in favour of his personal inclinations. The psycho-analyst will recall the fact that dreams are phantas- mal représentations of the unconscious Will of the sleeper, and that not only are they images of that Will instead of représent¬ ations of objective truth, but the image itself is confused by a th…
… to blame, I can’t answer your other question, ‘‘ How can they do it?” and if it is by “ over- sight” or “clerical error” or “absence of mind,” I am in a similar position. And it is a curious coincidence that exactly the same thing happened to me 12 years ago.

…tual pride. We hâve understood the saying: “To the pure ail things are pure”, and we hâve learnt how to act up to it. We can analyse the mind far more acutely than could the ancients, and we can therefore distinguish the real and right feeling from its imitations. A man may eat méat from self-indulgence, or in order to avoid the dangers of asceticism. We must constantly examine our- selves, and assure ourselves that every action is really subservient to the One Purpose. It is ceremonially désirable to seal and affirm this mental purity by Ritua…

deed into dévotion, and consecrated by the right performance of the holy ceremonies. Yet herein is danger, for that the Mind is fluid as quicksilver, and bordereth upon the Abyss, and is beset by many sirens and devils that seduce and attack it to destroy it. Therefore let the devotee beware, and précisé accurately his médi¬ tations, even as a man should build a canal from sea to sea. 21.

… qualifica- tion. By meditation I do not mean merely “thinking about” any thing, however pro- foundly, but the absolute restraint of the mind to the contemplation of a single object, whether gross, fine, or altogether spiritual. Now true m agical cerem ony is entirely directed to attain this end, and form s a magnificent gymnasium for those who are not already finished mental athletes. By act, word, and thought, both in quantity and quality, the one object of the cerem ony is being constantly indicated. Every fumiga- tion, purification, banishi…

I would have you lay this closely to your heart , dear Sister, and moreover always to keep in mind what I have written in this letter so that you may be able to recognize when the occasion arises how much better evidence of the power and intelligence of the Order is this to being constantly cheered up along the difficult way by incidents such as it is possible to explain by what might be considered normal circumstances. Finally, let me insist that it is a definite symptom of Magical ill-health when the…
…on one object -- waking or sleeping, he remembers who he is and what his high aim in life—and this constant recollection ‘and keeping in mind of holy things, is the Seventh Stage, Sammasati. And by the power of this transcendent faculty, rising through the Eight High Trances to the very threshold of Nirvana, he at last, in the Trance called Nirodha Samapatti, attains, even in this life, to the Deathless Shore of Nirvana, by the power of Sammasamadhi, Right Concentration. Such a one has finished the Path—he has destroyed the cause of all his cha…
316 It was from him that he received the instructions which were to help him to reach the great and terrible pinnacle of the mind whence the adept must plunge into the Abyss, to emerge naked, a babe --- the Babe of the Abyss. {515} "Explore the River of the Soul," said Ananda Metteya, "Whence and in what order you have come." For three days --- the longest period allowed by the Buddhist law --- he remained in the choung, meditating on this matter; but nothing seems to have come of it. He set his teeth and settled down doggedly to this considera…
