… of jungle growth. But, O Disciple, unless the flesh is passive, head cool, the Soul as firm and pure as flaming diamond, the radi- ance will not reach the CHAMBER, its sunlight will not warm the heart, nor will the mystic sounds of Akashic heights reach the ear, however eager, at the initial stage. The uniting of the Disciple with his Angel depends upon the former. The Latter is always at hand. “Akashic Heights”—the dwelling-place of Nuith. 34

Another juggle to elude fate is sacrifice . Sacrifice and prayer have ever run in harness together under the whistling of the priestly lash . “ I will brain you if you refuse to render tribute to me , " said the primi tive chief to his primitive neighbour ; “ I will put you in jail if you won't pay me your taxes , ” says the modern government to the modern citizen .

…t week it may seem rather amusing, and you may even imagine you are progressing; but as the practice teaches you what you are doing, you will apparently get worse and worse. Please understand that in doing this practice you are sup- posed to be seated in Asana, and to have note-book and pencil by your side, and a watch in front of you. You are not to practise at first for more than ten minutes at a time, so as to avoid risk of overtiring the brain. In fact you will probably find that the Whole of your will-power is not equal to keeping to a sub- …

…hich sufficed for their immediate purpose in regard to me. I had to work out its problems in many other ways on many other occasions, as will appear from the sequel. The Book of the Law was to my hand, but the gods themselves had hardened my heart against it. I had hardened my own heart; I had tried to go round the Boyg. They answered, "Thou hast said." I know now from the experience of others that The Book of the Law is veritably a Golden bough. It is the only thing that one is allowed to take with one through Hades and it is an absolute passp…

I know where He lives; I know I shall be welcome if I call; but I do not know whether He will invite me to a banquet or ask me to go out with Him for a long journey. It may be that the Rota. will give me some hint. [We have omitted the details of this divination—En] I am never very content with such divinations ; trust- worthy enough in material concerns, in the things of the Spirit one rarely obtains good results. The first operation was rather meaningless; but one must allow (a) that it was a new…

…, because the true proprietor of all things is God, who wishes all things to belong to everybody. Whatever you may do, at your death you will carry away nothing of this world’s goods. Now, that which must be taken away from you one day is not really yours. It has only been lent to you. As to the usufruct, it is the result of work; but even work is not an assured guarantee of possession, and war may come with devastation and fire to displace property. Make then good use of those things which perish, O you who will perish before they do! Consider…

But he who stands afar off, and jests, saying: “It is not a Mountain, it is a cloud; it is not a cloud, it is a shadow; it is not a shadow, it is an illusion; it is not an illusion, it is indeed nothing at all!”—who but a fool will heed him? f…

"It is my will to eat and drink," said he. "Why shouldst thou eat and drink?" "To sustain my body in strength." "Why is it thy will that thy body may be sustained in strength?" "That it may aid me in the accomplishment of the Great Work." At this word all rose, and chanted solemnly in chorus, "So mote it be."

…] for a ritual seem the wrong way round. It seems to me that the Eastern methods are very arid, and chiefly valuable as a training of the Will, while the Ceremonies of the Magic of Light tune up the soul to that harmony when it is but one step to the Crown. The real plan is, then, to train the Will into as formid— able an engine as possible, and then, at the moment in the Ritual when the real work should be done, to fling forth flying that concentrated Will “ whirling forth with re-echoing Roar, so that it may comprehend with 55

… him, doth he gain the victory. For Choronzon feareth of all things concentration and silence: he therefore who would command him should will in silence: thus is he brought to obey. This the Scribe knoweth; for that since the obtaining of the Accurstd Tenth Aethyr, he hath held converse with Choronzon.

It will then be lawful for a magician to invoke Isis, and identify himself with her; if he fail to do this, his appréhension of the Universe when he attains Samadhi will lack the conception of maternity. The resuit will be a metaphysical and — by corollary — ethical limita¬ tion in the Religion which he founds. Judaism and Islam are striking examples of this failure. To take another example, the ascetic Üfe which…

With its own passionate, desperate breath Ever confronting the dark gate of Death. I passed that gate ! O pitiful ! The same Mystery holds me, and the flame Of Life stands up, unbroken citadel.

God, keep us most from ill, What time the King-Ghost grips the will ! Silver and rose and gold what flame resurges ? What living light pours forth in emerald waves ? What inmost Music drowns the clamorous dirges ? Shrieking thy fly, the King-Ghost and his slaves. Lord, let Thy Ghost indwell, And keep us from the power of Hell ! Amen.
