…put it more simply, straight upwards). 4. Instead of stopping, let him continue to rise until fatigue almost overcomes him. If he should find that he has stopped without willing to do so, and that figures appear, let him at ail costs rise above them. Yea, though his very life tremble on his lips, let him force his way upward and onward! 5. Let him continue in this so long as the breath of life is in him.

Look at our love instead! I raised Thy veil, Nay, tore Thy vesture from Thee, and behold ! Then only did I see what mystery, What ninefold forest, shade impassible, Surrounds Thy heart, as with a core of light Shut in the mystery of a dead world. Thou formless sense of gloom and terror! Thou Upas,! new tree of life—by sinister Cherubim with averted faces kept ! Nay! This on…
… game of grap- ple-my-belly. With a heavy heart I set sail, and after a pleas- ant but uneventful voyage landed once more in England, to find that my little brochure on Cunts ; a few methods of fuckin em which had attracted the favourable notice of all classes, had been su- perseded by the lengthy and to my mind tedious monograph of a Turkish Mullah, entitled Arseholes : some thoughts about sucking me. The table of my library (I was at this time vicar of Buckingham) was absolutely littered with ap- peals from the various dignitaries of…

… . He is no more the mystic Christ , or the gentle Jesus , but merely a Galilean , of a tribe crude and de spised . Very different do we find Crowley's opinions , in his later works , regarding this unfortunate fakir . The glamour of enthusiastic and unsuspecting youth soon disappears to be swallowed up in the reality of a maturer understanding : He took the universe on trust ; He reconciled the world below With that above ; rolled eloquence Steel -tired o'er reason's “ why ? ” and “ whence ? ” . 1 Songs of the Spirit, vol . i, p. 30. 2 Ibid . …

…t was less trouble to feed and be done with it, than to examine the question whether we were hungry. If you cook your own food, you soon find that you don't rook more or less than you want; and health returns. If, however, you go to the other extreme and think of nothing but diet, you are almost sure to acquire that typical form of melancholia, in which the patient is convinced that all the world is in league to poison him. Professor Schweinhund has shown that beef causes gout; Professor Naschtikoff proves that milk causes consumption. Sir Ruff…

… any God shall deny thee for this.” “Behold! these be grave mysteries; for there are also of my friends who be hermits. Now think not to find them in the forest or on the mountain; but in beds of purple, caressed by magnificent beasts of women with large limbs, and fire and light in their eyes, and masses of flaming hair about them; there shall ye find them. Ye shall see them at rule, at victorious armies, at all the joy; and there shall be in them a joy a million times greater than this. Beware lest any force another, King against King! Love o…

…ortant to explain the form to a reader before he begins. For the work so transcends my own critical faculties that I am sure others will find difficulty in getting my point of view without very serious attention. In the first place, my predecessor Shelley was so natu- rally gentle that his Prometheus can be read to-day by our young ladies without their ever suspecting that he was getting at God. Nietzsche on the other hand is very obscure, very super- ficial, very philosophical, and he did not write English. I have been trained in a harder scho…

Arthur were wise, therefore, to find, if possible, a science so abstruse and venerable that no one at all understood it, and whose most respected authors wrote in an indecipherable cryptogram. Such a science was found for little Arthur (the future saint!) in Alchemy. To establish a reputation was the work of a moment.

…is course, besides that already stated, is to assure sound education in occult matters, so that when spiritual illumination comes it may find a well built temple. Where the mind is strongly biased towards any special theory, the result of an illumination is often to inflame that portion of the mind which is thus overdevel- oped, with the result that the aspirant, instead of becoming an Adept, becomes a bigot and fanatic. The A... A... does not offer examination in this course, but recommends these books as the foundation of a library. SECTION 2…
