XXIV PREFACE. PORNOGRAPHY Now to give battle one must find a disputed point, and struggle for its mastery. English pudibundery being the main strong hold of the Puritan, I now concentrate my guns on that position. With the exception of the Chinese classics and one or two of the Hindu and Buddhist, all authors of antiquity are wholly or partially concerned to discourse frankly, joyously, amusingly, of the sexual act. Of modern authors we observe that only the pornographic survive. Shakespeare, Sterne, Swift, Rabelais, Villon, — what names have w…

Of nerves that mean the picture are Not like it, but dissimilar. How can a nervous current be Like that Velasquez? So I find Dinner a function of the mind, Not like you, but essential to (Even it) my honest love of you. Consider then yon broidered toy In the same aspect! Steals no joy Glittering beneath the sad pale face? 39
Love under Will 355 my good sense, confirmed by my experience, urged me to surrender. “But how did you find out what your will was?” “How did you find out ?” she flashed back. “Why,” I stammered, ‘ Big Lion showed me how my heredity, my natural inclination, and the solution of my crisis, all pointed to the same thing.” “You said it,”’ she answered softly, and fired another quotation. ‘‘ The Law is for all.” “Tell me about it,” I said. My stupefaction and my annoyance were melting away. I began to perceive dimly that the Big Lion had worked out …
…y thought that may arise. In conversation always disagree. See the other man's arguments; but, however much your judgment approves them, find the answer. Let this be done dispassionately; the more convinced you are that a certain point of view is right, the more determined you should be to find proofs that it is wrong. If you have done this thoroughly, these points of view will cease to trouble you ; you can then assert your own point of view with the calm of a master, which is more convincing than the enthusiasm of a learner.
…ollo half the day is shrouded, As Artemis twice seven nights is dark ; Surely he shines in other lands unclouded, Surely her shaft shall find another mark. So dawns the day on Acheron ghost-crowded, And on my bark. I know not how yon world may prove, nor whither Hermes conduct me to what farther end. Yet if these bays abide, this heart not wither, It cannot be I shall not find a friend. Some pale immortal lover draw me thither ! To kiss me bend ! Moreover, as Apollo re-arisen Flames, with a roaring of the morning sea, Up from the stricken gray,…

32 SONGS OF THE SPIRIT Now backwards, inwards still my mind Must track the intangible and blind, And seeking, shall securely find Hidden in secret places Fresh feasts for every soul that strives, New life for many mystic lives, and strange new forms and faces. My mind still searches, and attains By many days and many pains To That which Is and Was and reigns Shadowed in four and ten,! And loses self in sacred lands, And cries and quickens, and understands Beyond the first Amen.” THE ALCHEMIST. THIS POEM WAS INTENDED AS THE PRO- LOGUE ‘YO A PLAY…
…st so much while contem- plating movement, would you like to come and live in Holland, the land that brings happiness? Perhaps you would find amusement in that country, whose picture you have so often ad- mired in museums. What do you say to Rotter- dam, you who love forests of masts, and the ships moored alongside the houses? My soul remains dumb. Would Batavia smile on you perhaps more sweetly? There we should find the spirit of Europe wedded to the beauty of the tropics. Not a word. Can my soul be dead? Are you then come to such a point of e…
…er it once, O mortal over-rash !— The Universe were swallowed up in flame —Shemhamphorash ! Nor deem that thou amid the cosmic crash May find one thing of all those things the same! No! if creation did possess an aim (It does not.) it were only to make hash Of that most ‘‘high” and that most holy game, Shemhamphorash !
A MASTER OF THE TEMPLE By finding the Point from which these three become equal, and there remaining, by this means only, can the Law be Known. If ye know this, ye know All. If ye know not this, ye know less than All. Seek ever for the Absolute, and be content with Nothing less. By the end of September the immediate results of this first Illumination seem to have worn off, and we find Frater V.1.O. striving desperately to estimate the value of what had happened to him. He was certainly in a mental muddle, as the following entry shows, yet at th…
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…

If you strike a blow at ail, strike with your strength! “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with ail thy might!” If you are going to take up Magick, rnake no compromise. You cannot make révolutions with rose-water, or wrestle in a silk hat. You will find very soon that you must either iose the hat or stop wrestling. Most people do both. They take up the magical path with ou t sufficient reflection, without that détermination of adamant which made the author of this book exclaim, …
…ace of a Sadistic sow . In “ Why Jesus Wept," we have the ephemeral and headstrong passion of youth ; whilst in “ The Tale of Archais we find it burning only as a pure and lambent flame , overcoming all adversity , sacrificing self - love and even self - honour to attain the ideal of its purpose . Love is the predominant power in the universe ; over and over again we shall find this enforced , greater than fame , than wealth , than glory , greater than knowledge ,
…presently devote some space to a clear exposition of this Art. In the case of Bacchus, however, we may roughly outline the procedure. We find that the symbolism of Tiphareth expresses the nature of Bacchus. It is then necessary to construct a Ritual of Tiphareth. Let us open the Book 777 ; we shall find in line 6 of each column the various parts of our required apparatus. Having ordered everything duly, we shall exalt the mind by repeated prayers or conjurations to the highest conception of the God, until, in one sense or another of the Word, H…

…ll that we are from mind results; on mind is founded, built of mind; Who acts or speaks with righteous thought him happiness doth surely find. So failing not the shadow falls for ever in its place assigned. The Pantacle is then in a sense identical with the Karma or Kamma of the Magician. The Karma of a man is his /edge?: The balance has not been struck, and lie does not know what it is; he does not even fully know what debts he may have to pay, or what is owed him; nor does he know on what dates even those payments which he anticipates may fal…
