BOO TO BUDDHA! Helena, Helena, fiercely fresh, Your flesh flies fervent to my flesh. What sage can dare impugn Man’s immortality? Our godhead swims, immune From death and destiny. Ignored the bubble in the flow Of love eighteen short years ago! Time—I embrace all time As my arm rings your waist. Space—you surpass, sublime, As, taking me, we taste Omnipotence, sense slaying sense, Soul slaying soul, omniscience. 203

…covery of oxygen, to account for combustion.] It stands plain, even to sceptical reason—indeed, most of all to the sceptic—that our talisman, one microscopic serpent of which can build for itself such a house as to rule men’s bodies for a generation like Alexander, or their minds for an epoch like Plato, cannot be destroyed or diminished by any conceivable force. When this talisman comes forth from its fortress, its action begins. The ancient Jewish Rabbins knew this, and taught that before Eve was given to Adam, the demon Lilith conceived by t…

… sneaked back from Algeria, trembling all over, and began to enjoy the comedy of a lawyer pretending that he could not serve a writ on a man with an address in the telephone directory, who was spending hundreds of pounds on letting the whole world know where to find him. It was perhaps unkind of me not to warn Mr. Cran that he was putting his foot in it. But if I had said a word, the case would have been thrown up; and then where would our advertisement have been? So, even now, I restrict my remarks; there may be some more fun coming. But at le…

THE KEY OF THE MYSTERIES The man of right is Cain who kills Abel from envy; the man of duty is Abel who dies for Cain for love. And such has been the mission of Christ, the great Abel of humanity. It is not for right that we should dare all, it is for duty. Duty is the expansion and the enjoyment of liberty; isolated right is the father of slavery. Duty is devotion ; right is selfishness. Duty is sacrifice; right is theft and rapine. Duty is love, and right is hate. Duty is infinite life; right is eternal death. If one must fight to conquer rig…

… end on the top of a precipice, whence falling, he shall find himself in bed. Hear wisdom! the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, A man is almost obliged to be in com- munion with God when God is blowing his hat off, drenching him to the skin, whistling through his very bones, scaring him almost to death with a flash of lightning, and so on. When he gets time to think, he thinks just that. In a church all is too clearly the work of man: in the matter of man’s comfort man’s devices are so obviously superior to God’s: so that we compare hats…

…of Eckenstein, but he shouted to me to wait. Here was a chance to show me in practice what he had always claimed in theory; how easily a man could be pulled out, using only one hand. The man was quite calm; but had given up hope and was committing his soul to Allah. I expect he was mostly worried about the direction of Mecca. We had no need of the coiled rope; the doctor had untied himself from his own rope and left it lying on the snow! The cowardice, incompetence and imbecility of his proceedings remain today as incomprehensible as they were …

130 The Law is for All 1:34 veils itself from its nature. Thus the vast bulk of humanity is obsessed by an abject fear of freedom; the principal objections hitherto urged against my Law have been those of people who cannot bear to imagine the horrors which would result if they were free to do their own wills. The sense of sin, shame, self distrust, this is what makes folk cling to Christianity-slavery. People believe in a medicine just insofar as it is nasty; the meta physical root of this idea is in sexual degeneracy of the masochis tic typ…

…em that they have tried to square their religion with their common sense. The Christians, on the other hand, though they saw whither the Manichean Heresy * must lead, and crushed it, have not officially admitted the precisely similar conclusion with regard to man, and denied the existence of the human soul as distinct from the divine soul. Trismegistus, Iamblicus, Porphyry, Boehme, and the mystics generally haye of course substantially done so, though occasionally with rather inexplicable reservations, similar to those made in some cases by the…

This is accentuated by a nervous temperament. He has a remarkable gift for epigrammatic phrases, a strong sense of rhythm and a great critical ability, which is masked by his opportunism. His Confessions of a Barbarian is probably the cleverest book ever written by an American about Europe. Some of his poems are so simple and direct that, if they miss sublimity, which may or may not be th…

Mr. Jones, said the doctor, is (on this illusory plane of Maya) one of the wonders of the world. He is never seen or heard, felt or smelt. Nor hath he been at any time tasted of any. Yet he is everywhere; in all, and causer of all, and apart from all. By profession he is a curator in the British Museum; but that is going very low indeed upon the plane of Maya.
