io8 not leave a mark on the mind, and all marks are bad marks. Hope and fear are only opposite phases of a single emotion; both are incompatible with the purity of the soul. With the passions of man the case is somewhat different, as they are functions of his own will. They need to be disciplined, not to be suppressed. But emotion is impressed from without. It is an invasion of the circle. As the Dhammapada says: An ill-thatched house is open to the mercy of the rain and wind ; So passion hath the power to break into an unreflecting mind. A wel…

…e only difficult question is that of continence, which is com- plicated by many considerations, such as that of energy; but every- body’s mind is hopelessly muddled on this subject, which some people confuse with erotology, and others with sociology. There will be no clear thinking on this matter until it is understood as being solely a branch of athletics. We may then dismiss Yama and Niyama with this advice: let the student decide for himself what form of life, what moral code, will least tend to excite his mind; but once he has for- mulated i…

XL Sir PALAMEDE the Saracen Hath seen the All; his mind is set To pass beyond that great Amen. Far hath he wandered; still to fret His soul against that Soul. He breaches The rhododendron forest-net, His body bloody with its leeches. Sternly he travelleth the crest Of a great mountain, far that reaches Toward the King-snows; the rains molest The knight, white wastes updriven of wind In sheets, in torrents, fiend-possessed, Up from the steaming plains of Ind. They cut his flesh, they chill his bones : Yet he feels naught; his mind is pinned To t…

Shortly before arriving at this conclusion , he had already stated that as “ the infinite divisibility of matter ” was now uni versally allowed by the most approved and consider able philosophers , hence it follows that there are an infinite number of parts in each particle of matter which are not perceived by sense . “ ...

Good-night. I told you that Lou was “ quite an ordinary and not a particularly attractive girl.” Remember that this was the first thought of my “ carnal mind” which, as St. Paul says, is ‘‘ enmity against God.” My real first impression had been the tremendous psychological experience for which all words are inadequate.

"Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do" is a rattling good piece of psychology. Iliel had nothing to occupy her mind, because she had never trained herself to concentrate the current of her thoughts on one thing, and off all others.

Keep this in mind, and you will have no difficulty in following the argument of this letter. When you are practising Dharana 2 concentration, you allow yourself so many minutes.

Chapter II A Verses 28-32 119 The Qabalists represent the mind as a complex of six elements, whereas the Will is single, the direct expression as “The Word” of the Self. The mind must inform the Understanding, which then presents a simple idea to the Will. This issues its orders accord ingly for unquestioning execution. If the Will should appeal to the mind, it must confuse itself with incomplete and uncoordinated ideas. The clamour of these cries crowns Anarchy, and action becomes impossible. 31. If Power asks why, then is Power weakness. Com…

… him that of all the impressions he receives none is true. Either they are false in them- selves, or they are wrongly interpreted in his mind. There is one truth, and only one. All other thoughts are false. And as he advances in the knowledge of his mind he will come to understand that its whole structure is so faulty that it is quite incapable, even in its most exalted moods, of truth. He will recognize that any thought merely establishes a relation be- tween the Ego and the non-Ego. Kant has shown that even the laws of nature are but the cond…
