…ortals are the golden keys. (Subsection I.) Charity and love are here used in their technical sense, Agape. “Love is the law, love under will.” Both Agape and Thelema (will) add to 93, which identifies them qabalistically. This love is not a sloppy feeling of maudlin sentimental kindness. The majority of people of the Christian Science, Theosophical, New Thought type, think that a lot of flabby thoughts, sending out streams of love in the Six Quarters, and so on, will help them. It won’t. Love is a pure flame, as swift and deadly as the lightni…

200 The Law is for All 41. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the divided but love: all else is a curse. Accursed! Accursed be it to the aeons! Hell. 42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will. 43. Do that, and no other shall say nay. 44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. 45. The Perfect and the Perfect are one Perfec…

…s the clearest explanation of this phrase. 22. Three Halls, O weary Pilgrim, lead to the end of toils. Three Halls, O conqueror of Mara, will bring thee through three states into the fourth, and thence into the seven Worlds, the Worlds of Rest Eternal. If this had been a genuine document I should have taken the three states to be Srotapatti, etc., and the fourth Arhat, for which the reader should consult ‘Science and Buddhism’ and similar treatises. But as it is better than ‘genuine,’ be- ing, like ‘The Chymical Marriage of Christian Rosencreut…

…ense of the rest of the verse is to advise the Disciple to work, and not to com- plain. 57. Help Nature and work on with her; and Nature will regard thee as one of her creators and make obeisance. Although the object of the Disciple is to transcend Law, he must work through Law to attain this end. It may be remarked that this treatise—and this comment for the most part—is written for disciples of certain grades only. Itis altogether inferior to such Books as LIBER CXI Aleph; but for that very reason, more useful, perhaps, to the average seeker.…

… and Sanity have Consistency. Verily, it is the Art of Life to develop each Organ of Body and Mind, or, as I may say, each Weapon of the Will to its Perfection, neither distorting any Use, nor suffering the Will of one Part to tyrannize over that of another. And this Doctrine (be it accursed!) that Pain and Repression are wholesome and profitable in themselves is a lie born of Sin and of Ignorance, the false Vision of the Universe and of its Laws that is the Basis of the averse Formula of the Slain God. It is true that on Occassion one Limb mus…

THE TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY “ But I perceive in you so excellent a touch of modesty that you will not extort from me what I am willing to keep in.” Twelfth-Night. A curious conflict this of love and fear, Honour and lust, and truth and trust beguiled ; One in the semblance of a rose-bright child :— The other in a shape more gross and clear, A fiercer woman-figure crowned severe With garlands woven of scourges, but whose wild Breast beat with splendour of sin, whose looks were mild, Hiding the cruel smile behind a tear. So she : “ I now you never woul…

So (as with Lombroso) “disease” will become a m ere word, like its prede- cessor “infidelity,” and cease to carry any obloquy. If Science is never to go bey ond its present lim its; if the barriers which m eta- physical speculation shows to exist are never to be trans cended, then indeed we are thrown back on faith, and all the rest of the nauseous mess of medieval superstition, and we may just as well have vital principle and cr…

…very shortly. One must find out for oneself, and make sure beyond doubt, who one is, what one is, why one is. This done, one may put the Will which is implicit in the “Why” into words, or rather into One Word. Being thus conscious of the proper course to pursue, the next thing is to understand the conditions necessary to following it out. After that, one must eliminate from oneself every element alien or hostile to success, and develop those parts of oneself which are spécially needed to control the aforesaid conditions. Let us make an analogy.…

…ur awareness of what is the only real sin, of what alone should cause a sense of guilt in us; that is, obstruction or denial of our true will, or of the true will of another. The acceptance of, or the deference to these malignant sex-tabus, has done incalculable harm and is still doing it. A sane, a natural and creative view of sex is of the first importance; for a destructive and distorted view, a Christian view, generates an evil pus which overflows upon the whole field of human thought and human activity, infecting with one malady after anot…

…protecting it from further and far greater misery and sorrow. Comment has already been made upon this verse. 87. Withal man sees it not, will not perceive it, nor will he heed the word of wisdom . . . for he knows it not. Here indeed is the only sorrow that could seem, even for a moment, likely to touch the Adept. It is rather annoying that the great prize offered so freely to men is scorned by them. But this is only if the Adept fall for one moment to the narrower view, accept the conventional outlook on the universe. If only he remember that …
