…owed it to the proprietor with a whispered " Comby—ang ? " "Trente sous," said the shopman in his most rapid French. And in English, “We take English money here, sir; ten shillings, if you please. May I wrap it up for you?" But Bugg had thrust it into his inner pocket, and, pressing a sovereign into the man‘s hand, dashed without looking behind him from the shop, eager to put time and space between himself and his compromising position. He hurried to his hotel, not without many a suspicious glance over his shoulder, and packed his bag. He had t…

… with all the rules? If the disciple were in the condition mentioned, he would be already very far advanced. But of course if we were to take the words “The threshold of the Path” “The foremost gate” “The stream” as equivalent to Srotapatti, the passage would gain in intel- ligibility. But, just as in the noble eight-fold Path, the steps are concurrent, not consecutive, so, like the Comte de Saint Germain, when he was expelled from Berlin, one can go through all the seven Gates at once. 23. Disciples may be likened to the strings of the soul- e…

…Again and again he stood at the gate, and could not enter. And the Violet Flames of Ajna triumphed over him. Then Brenner said: “ Let us take a little rest!”—oh irony l—and he came down from his throne, staggering with fatigue. . . . If you can conceive of all his anger and despair! His pen, writing this, forms a letter badly, and through clenched teeth he utters a fierce curse. Oh Lord Adonai, look with favour upon him 1 After five minutes rest (to the body, that is), John St. John was too exhausted on resuming his pose, which, by the way, happe…

…ess curiosity as to how much of the normally super-sensible world has been revealed to my senses, and especially that of sight, you must take my answer as "without prejudice," "e. and o.e.," "under the rose," and "in a Pickwickian sense." If you choose to call me a lunatic and/or a liar, I shall accept the verdict with mine accustomed imperturbability. Whether what I am about to tell you is "true" or not doesn't matter, as in any case it proves nothing in particular. What does matter is to accept nothing whatever from the "Astral Plane" without…

Thou didst make a great fight there in the circle; thou art a goodly warrior! (Then did the demon laugh loudly. The Scribe said: Thou canst not harm one hair of my head.) I will pull out every hair of thy head, every hair of thy body, every hair of thy soul, one by one. (Then said the Scribe: Thou hast no power.) Yea, verily I have power over thee, for tho…

…Women) T is indeed easy for a Woman to obtain the Exper- ience of Magick, in a certain Sort, as Visions, Trances, and the like; yet they take not Hold upon Her, to transform Her, as with Men, but pass only as Images upon a Speculum. So then a Woman advanceth never in Magick, but remaineth the same, rightly or wrongly ordered according to the Force that moveth Her. Here herefore is the Limit of Her Aspiration in Magick, to abide joyous and obedient beneath the Man that her Instinct shall divine so that by Habit becoming a Temple well-ordered, co…

…long mediation: "So that accounts for it." All children born into a family whose social and economic conditions are settled are bound to take them for granted as universal. It is only when they meet with incompatible facts that they begin to wonder whether they are suited to their original environment. In this particular case the most trifling incidents of life were necessarily interpreted as part of a prearranged plan, like the beginning of Candide. The underlying theory of life which was assumed in the household showed itself constantly in pr…

…rinted under the title of " The Soul of Osiris," calling it a history so that my readers might discover for themselves (if they chose to take the trouble) the real continuity in the apparent disjointedness. The history of any man who seriously and desperately dares to force a passage into the penetralia of nature ; not with the calm philosophy of the scientist, but with the burn- ing conviction that his immortal destiny is at stake ; must be a strange one : to me at least strangely attractive.

This occurrence is very common in my experience ; I have contradicted what sounded like ascertained fact and proved on enquiry to have been right ; so, considering that the statistics I made many years ago showed me to have been right 109 times out of 120, I think two things are fairly near probation ; firstly , I am not guessing- that doesn't matter 159
