…hild nor his moustache; and I will contend with him, I will fight and over come him; yea, I will inflict upon him my celebrated essay upon Truth—and he shall never rise againl It is written in the manner of Immanuel Kant? Ay, but of Immanuel Kant in bed with Bessie Bellwood. The hands are the hands of Schopenhauer, but the voice is the voice of Arthur Roberts. Listen to the Iataka, 0 child of wonder and the innocent eyes, and if you yell you will be deposited in the coal-hole. Superlativer Honoured Fratres and Sorores of the Order of The Tin Suns…

…reat spiritual giants" (can there be any etymological link between "yogi" and " ogre " ?) and that such persons, themselves per- ceiving Truth, have tried to " diminish the message to the dog " for the benefit of less exalted minds, and hidden that Truth (which, unveiled, would but blind men with its glory) in a mass of symbology often perverted or grotesque, yet to the proper man transparent ; a " bait of falsehood to catch the carp of truth." Now, regarded in this light, all religions, qud religions, are equally contemptible. The Hindu Gnanis…

…ce of his system will inevitably elude intellectual apprehension, unless it be illuminated from above by actual living experience of the truth. Such experience is only to be attained by unswerving application to the practices which he advocates. Nor must the aspirant content himself with the mere attainment of spiritual enlightenment, however sublime. All such achievements are barren unless they be regarded as the means rather than the end of spiritual progress; allowed to infiltrate every detail of the life, not only of the spirit, but of the …

…heir doctrine of Maya? Exactly so; but of course they cannot mean what they say. The thinkable is false. All our attempts to crystallize Truth in words are just as futile as the trickery by which the artist gets his sunlight effects with some dull ochre. The impression ’5 good enough, maybe, at a distance, as an impression. Examine it close: it goes. God sees the clever composition; man sees the untidy brushwork. So logic destroys our religions, despite their truth. But, said Denzil, surely it is better to get nearer truth. Ihate all the evil t…

THE TWENTY-FOURTH DAY “ She having the truth of honour in her, hath made him that gracious denial which he is most glad to receive.” Measure for Measure. Of course I might have know it was a lie. Nathless, I wept all morning and despaired. Nothing for any life of earth I cared, Neither for heaven : I railed against the sky, Hating the earth, the sea, the witchery Of all the universe : my breast I bared And cursed God, hoping lightning ; and I dared Not ask my love “ In very truth—you die ?” I could not bear it longer ; then she spake : “ I lied…

…w the Abyss, contains in itself an unmitigated duality or falsehood, and is to that extent qliphotic 3 and dangerous. Even an idea like “truth” is unsafe unless it is realized that ail Truth is in one sense falsehood. For ail Truth is relative ; and if it be supposed absolute, will mislead.4 “The Book of Lies falsely so called” (Liber 333) is worthy of close and careful study in this respect. The reader should also consult Konx Om Pax, “Introduction”, and “Thien Tao” in the same volume. Ail this is to be expressed in the words of the ritual its…

…gick, notably the Mass of he Holy Ghost, in the Concentration of my Will to impart this Wisdom unto thee, and to reveal the Mysteries of Truth. Now of all these this is the Root, that Truth is not fixed with the Rigour of Death, but vital with Lust of Change, and enflamed with the Love of its opposite. Thus even Falsehood is not alien to Truth, for the Perfection of Nature com- prehendeth all. But all these Things are written in The Book of the Law, after which do I limp painfully; afar off, upon the poor Crutch of mine Understanding of its Wor…

For we win Truth oftentimes by Reflection or by the Composition and Selection of an Artist in his Presentation thereof, when else we were blind thereunto; lacking his Mode of Light. Yet were that Art of none avail unless we had already the Root of that Truth in our Nature, and a Bud ready to flower at the Summoning of that Sun.

…is own inability to think clearly beyond his limits, just as a Bushman, confronted by numbers above five, can only call them “many”. The truth told by the Angel, immensely as it extends the horizon of the Adept, is perfectly definite and précisé. It does not deal in ambiguities and abstractions. It possesses form, and con¬ fesses law, in exactly the same way and degree as any other body of truth. It is to the truth of the material and intellectual spheres of man very much what the Mathematics of Philosophy with its “infinité sériés” and “Cantor…

…ch a thought is hardly an illusion—but Bones must not and shall not think that there is an opposition of black and white, good and evil, truth and falsehood. One of our weaker brethren (and I alas! had relied on him as strong among the strong 1) recently plumed himself vastly on this per ception of the Illusion of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil— though “Why in the name of Glory was he proud?” considering that he had the authentic dictum of very Tikkunim for referring that Tree to Malkuth, the first and easiest broken of the false fires of…
