John St. John

THE EQUINOX 11.15. Made also considerations concerning the Nature of the 1.5. 126 Path. The upshot is that it does not matter. Acquire full power of Concentration; the rest is only leather and prunella. Don’t worry; work! I shall now make a pantacle to aid the said faculty of concentration. The Voice 01 the Nadi (by the way) is resoundingwell, and the Chittam is a little better under control. Have worked well on the Pantacle, thinking of Adonai. Of course we are now reduced to a “low anthropo- morphic conception ”—but what odds ? Once the Right…

The Vision and the Voice

THE EQUINOX coming of the veil of the Aethyr; not here. I think I will go to the Hot Springs. So I put away the Stone upon my breast. BISKRA. 10,15-11.52 a.m. Flashes of lightning are playing in the Stone, at the top; and at the bottom of the Stone there is a black pyramid, and at the top thereof is a vesica piscis. The vesica piscis is of colourless brilliance. The two curves of Pisces are thus: )¢ They are the same curves as the curves of vesica piscis, but turned round. And a voice comes: How can that which is buried in the pyramids behold t…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX Lanoo, no matter what happens to him, soaring aloft like the Phang, and sailing gloriously through innumerable Gates of High Initiation, nevertheless keeps his original Point of View, like a Bourbon. He is always getting rid of Illusions, but, like the entourage of the Cardinal Lord Archbishop of Rheims after he cursed the thief, nobody seems one penny the worse—or the better. Probably the best way to take the whole treatise is to assume that it is written for the absolute tyro, with a good deal between the lines for the more advanc…

If thou would’st cross the first Hall safely, let not thy mind mistake the fires of lust that burn therein for the sun- light of life. The metaphor is now somewhat changed. The Hall of Ignorance represents the physical life. Note carefully the phraseology, “Let not thy mind mistake the fires of lust.” It is legitimate to warm yourself by those fires so long as th…

1.45. 2.5. 2.22. 128 THE EQUINOX utterable foulness; though both adultery and religion are themselves clean. To mix jam and mustard is a messy mistake. It also struck me that this Operation is (among other things) an attempt to prove the proposition : Reward is the direct and immediate consequence of Work. Of all the holy illuminated Men of God of my acquaintance, I am the only one that holds this opinion. But I think that this Record, when I have time to go through it, and stand at some distance, to get the per— spective, will be proved a conc…

The Vision and the Voice

THE EQUINOX Until the Voice vibrate! Until it pierce my Depth; Look not on High! Look not Beneath! For thou wilt find a life which is as Death: or a Death which should be infinite. For Thou art submitted to the Four: Five thou shalt find, but Seven is lone and far. O Lord God, let Thy Spirit hither unto me! For I am lost in the night of infinite pain: no hope: no God: no resurrection: no end: I fall: I fear. O Saviour of the World, bruise Thou my Head with Thy foot to save the world, that once again I touch Him whom I slew, that in my death I f…

The Vision and the Voice

THE EQUINOX (This cry was obtained on Dec. 6, 1909, between 2 and 4.15 p.m., in a lonely valley of fine sand, in the desert near Bou-Saada. The Aethyr was edited and revised on the following day.) After the conclusion of the Ceremony, a great fire was kindled to purify the place, and the Circle and Triangle were destroyed. NOTE BY SCRIBE. Almost from the beginning of the ceremony was the Scribe overshadowed, and he spoke as it were in spite of himself, remembering afterwards scarcely a word of his speeches, some of which were long and seemingly…
