…e question of the possibility of the co-existence of God and man. The Christians, in the category of the existent, enumerate among other things, whose consideration we may discard for the purposes of this argument, God, an infinite being ; man; Satan and his angels; man certainly, and Satan presumably, finite beings. These are not

… be attacked. Each must decide for himself whether this is a wise course to pursue. But it certainly seems easier to strip off first the things which can easily be done without. The majority of people will find most trouble with the Emotions, and thoughts which excite them. But it is both possible and necessary not merely to suppress the emotions, but to turn them into faithful servants. Thus the emotion of anger is occasionally useful against that portion of the brain whose slackness vitiates the control. If there is one emotion which is never…
…on its alleged Affinities with Scholastic Realism. But the Charge is not very true. No Doubt but they did suppose vast Storehouses of ‘‘ Things of one Kind” from which, pure or mingled, all other Things did proceed. Since 5, a Camel, refers to the Moon, they did say that a Camel and the Moon were sympathetic, and came, that Part of them, from a common Principle: and that a Camel being yellow brown, it partook of the Earth Nature, to which that Colour is given. Thence they said that by taking all the Natures involved, and by blending them in the…

266 THE STAR IN THE WEST BUDDHISM As regards the beginning of all things the Buddh ist is discreetly silent , he ( as Crowley says ) neither prevaricates like the Hindu , nor openly lies like the Christian . In the Is'a Upanishad we read : Into dense darkness he enters Who has conceived becoming to be naught , Into yet denser he Who has conceived becoming to be aught . In the second discourse of the Bhagavad - Gītā we also read : Uncleavable He , incombustible He , and indeed neither to be wetted nor dried away ; perpetual , all - pervasive , s…
… no hope in Faith, for there are many warring Faiths, all equally positive. 5. The adepts of Spiritual Experience promise us won- derful things, the Perception of Truth, and the Conquest of Sorrow, and there is enough unity in their method to make an Eclectic System possible. : 6. We are determined to investigate this matter most thoroughly on Scientific lines. III 1. We are Mystics, ever eagerly seeking a solution of unpleasant facts. 2. Weare Men of Science, ever eagerly acquiring pertinent facts. 3. We are Sceptics, ever eagerly examining th…

…nto thee, because His Doctrine has been lost or misinterpreted, and it is most needful to restore it. For this Tao is the true Nature of Things, being itself a Way or Going, that is, a kinetic and not a static Conception. Also He taught this Way of Harmony in Will, which I myself have thought to show thee in this little book. So then this Tao is Truth, and the Way of Truth, and therefore was He Logos of His Æon, and His true Name or Word was Tao. i
…n the altar, consuming utterly every particle of my personality. I am obliged to write in hieroglyph of this matter, because it concerns things of which it is unlawful to speak openly under penalty of the most dreadful punishment; but I may say that the essence of the matter was that I had hitherto clung to certain conceptions of conduct which, while perfectly proper from the standpoint of my human nature, were impertinent to initiation. I could not cross the Abyss till I had torn them out of my heart. I remember nothing of my return to Bou Saâ…
6 PREFACE run, is eminently sane and practical ; under the Second Empire it ran mad. If these things are done in the green tree of Society, what shall be done in the dry tree of Bohemianism ? Art always has a suspicion to fight against ; always some poor mad Max Nordau is handy to call everything outside the kitchen the asy- lum. Here, however, there is a substratum of truth. Consider the intolerable long roll of names, all tainted with glorious madness. Baudelaire the diabolist, debauchee of sadism, whose dreams are night mares, and whose waki…

Thus read: “ Of the Dawning of Life and Light.” x is by shape the Svastika, symbolically Aleph, the Ox, as though showing the fearful force of the Spiritual “Whirling Motions” upon the Material Plane, as a terrible and destructive Power. This is also shown by the Foolish Man, as the Material Tarotic emblem of that which in its proper and higher manifestation is the Spiritual Ether. Therefore we read: “ Begun ave the Whirling Motions.” w signifieth mighty in flame, whereof it is also…
