All these Symbols are most similar in their Nature, save as the Slaves of the Slave-gods have read their own Formula into the Simplicity of Truth. For there is naught so plain that Ignorance and Malice may not confuse and misinterpret it, even as the Bat is dazzled and bewildered by the Light of the Sun. See then that thou understand this Bull in Terms of the Law of this our Æon of Life. c

THE NEW WINE 225 nature .” On this despairing position of Hume , Kant bases his à priori. BERKELEY AND HUME Thus Hume arrives at the conclusion that all rela tionships between cause and effect are based on ex perience , and behind experience there is , “ a certain unknown and inexplicable something ." ? So also does Berkeley in the “ Three Dialogues " end in a similar quandary which he calls “ God." Starting out on his quest by stating : “ Can any doctrine be true that necessarily leads a man into an absurdity ? " ; he promptly proceeds to trav…
…voking trained observation—and from that moment the future of Scientific Illuminism will be assured. I must add a paragraph or twoon the nature of the mystic process and the general character of the transcendental states of consciousness resulting from its successful practice. XI “He maketh the whole World of Fire, Air, Water, and Earth, and of the all-nourishing Ether.” —ZOROASTER. One truth, says Browning, leads right to the world’s end ; and so I find it impossible to open a subject, however small 57

…what are you to say (you enquire) to the ordinary Bloke-on-the-Boulevard, to the man of the world who has acquired a shrewd knowledge of Nature, but finds no rational guide to the conduct of life. He observes many unsatisfactory elements in the way things go, and for his own sake would like to "remould them nearer to the heart's desire," to refurbish the cliche of Fitzgerald about "this sorry scheme of things." He is not in the least interested in the learned exposition of 0 = 2. But he is aware that the A :. A:. professes a sound solution of t…
…onquest he wastes the fruits of it, in the arms of luxury. {635} It is through this weakness that the perfected man, the Sun, is of dual nature, and his evil twin slays him in his glory. So the triumphant Lord of Heaven, the beloved of Apollo and the Muses is brought down into the dust, and who shall mourn him but his Mother Nature, Venus, the lady of love and sorrow? Well is it if she bears within her the Secret of Resurrection! But even Venus owes all her charm to the swift messenger of the gods, Mercury, the joyous and ambiguous boy whose tr…

… the British ass ; or to a Burton, swimming in the Sea of Glue — they must seem miracles of virility and truth. Natural love and love of Nature are poetry everywhere ; and (idleness !) I hope one day to be able to leave the English hypocrites to their own beastliness, and live in my own world. Until I am wanted ; in the hour of battle. One thing I must ask ; let this book be assiduously
THE EQUINOX cunning Kundry, but of his own nature, the sacrifice may be accomplished. So, as previously explained, it is important not to keep on worrying about one’s progress; otherwise all the concentra- tion is lost, and a mood of irritability rises, work is given up, and the student becomes angry with his Teacher. His Mind- Soul becomes as a mad elephant that rages in the jungle. He may even obtain the Vision of the Demon Crowley. But by persistence in the appointed Path, by avoiding dis- appointment through not permitting the fiend Hope to…

Now then learn also how this Formula is that of the Word ABRAHADABRA. First, HAD is the Triangle erect upon twin Squares. Of Hadit need I not to write, for He hath hidden Himself in The Book of the Law. This Substance is the Father, the Instrument is the Son, and the Metaphysical Ekstacy is the Holy Ghost, whose Name is HRILIU. These are then the Su…
The Four of Swords is called Truce. This seems rather on the lines of “the strong man armed, keeping his house in peace”. The masculine nature of air makes it dominant. The card is almost a picture of the formation of the military clan system of society. As to the Disks, the heaviness of the symbol rather outweighs any considerations of its weakness. The card is called Power. It is the power which dominates and stabilizes every‐ thing, but manages its affairs more by negotiation, by pacific methods, than by any assertion of itself. It is Law, t…
