…oping behind him; and they grovelled before the throne of that All-powerful One. He dismissed them with a short laugh, and a wave of His right hand. If He was disturbed, He was too proud to show it. “This,” he said to himself, “is clearly a matter for Elohim Gibor.” Therefore He summoned that divine power before Him. The crown of Elohim Gibor was Space itself; the two halves of his brain were the Yea and Nay of the Universe; his breath was the breath of very Life; his being was the Mahalingam of the First, beyond Life and Death the generator fr…

… it. The man is a journalist after all. We have to thank him for semi-educating a few of our noodles, for applying the caustic of Ibsen (right) and Wagner (wrong—the book’s drivel) to that most indolent of ulcers, the British Public, but for nothing more. His own work, bar “Man and Overman” (why the hybrid Super- man?), is aglib sham. If it proves anything, it proves nothing. But are we to writhe in the ecstasies of Pyrrhonism? For this prophet claims to be Zoroaster. Can we be sure even of that? He has educated the British goat to caper to his…

… EQUINOX peal of unextinguishable laughter, but begged to know what was its cause, that he might laugh too. I could only cry out that my right leg was a tin case filled with stair-rods, and as I limped along, keeping that member perfectly rigid, both from fear of cracking the metal and the difficulty of bending it, I heard the rattle of the brazen contents shaken from side to side with feelings of the most supreme absurdity possible to the human soul.

…Compassion is no attribute. It is the Law of LAWS—eternal Harmony, Alaya’s SELF; a shoreless universal essence, the light of everlasting Right, and fitness of all things, the law of Love eternal. Here again is apparently a serious difficulty. The idea of Klesha, here identified with Love of worldly enjoyment, seems to put one back almost before the beginning. Is it now only that the almost-Arhat no longer wants to go to the theatre? It must not be interpreted in this low sense. At the same time, it is difficult to discover a sense high enough t…

Dr. Johnson says it is a cat. Berkeley says it is a group of sensations. Çankaracharya says it is an illusion , an incarnation , or God , according to the hat he has got on , and is talking through . Spencer says it is a mode of the Unknowable . But none of them seriously doubt the fact that I exist ; that a cat exists ; that one sees the other . All -- bar Johnson --- hint …
