…is Consideration, that for every Parsifal there is a Kundry. Thou mayst eat a thousand Fruits of the Garden; but there is one Tree whose name for thee is Poison. In every great Initiation is an Ordeal, wherein appeareth a Siren or Vampire appointed to destroy the Candidate. I have myself witnessed the Blasting of not less than ten of my own Flowers, that I tended when I was Nemo, and that although I saw the Cankerworm, and knew it, and gave urgent Warning. How then consider deeply in thyself if I were rightly governed in this Action, according …

…on the soul of Zohra grew A fashioned orb of fiery dew: Yet (as cool water on a leaf) It touched his spirit not with grief, Although its name was sorrow. ‘*Q for a name to borrow ” (He mused) ‘‘ some semblance for this subtle sense Of new experience ! For on my heart, untouched, my mind not used : To any metre mused, Save the one tranquil and continuous rhyme Of joy exceeding time, | Here the joy changes, but abides for ever, Here on the shining river | Where the dusk gathers, and tall trees begin To wrap the shallop in, Sweet shade not cast of…

…ve, the mere maternity You share with swine and cattle! All your care Is duty: let the harlot cleanse herself— Tardy repentance !—In the name of God! Worse, you have lied, and built me up a house Of trust in you as being truth and love, - Who are in truth all lies, all treachery! You made me love you as an honest man ! You watched this passion, this intolerable Desire, this flame of hell; you fed it full, Sunned it and watered—O my brain will snap !— Only to blast it. Take your story back ; Be what you will except that infamous! For as my mothe…

…elight , I would seem to feel His presence in the gloom . But it was fancy : for when daylight broke , And rapturously I called upon His name , He was not there , He neither heard nor spoke ; Nor have I ever felt Him twice the same . Does He exist ?- Sometimes when earth calls : “ Nay ! ”. A voice replies from Heaven : “ Hast thou forgot ? ” Or sometimes when the world has shouted : “ Yea !” Then He Himself has murmured : “ I am not ." 134

…en in the darkness Chaos rolls again In the excited brain: Then, O then call not to thy view that visible Image of Nature ; fatal is her name ! It fitteth not thy body to behold That living light of Hell, The unluminous, dead flame, Until that body from the crucible Hath passed, pure gold! For, from the confines of material space, The twilight-moving place, The gates of matter, and the dark threshold, Before the faces of the Things that dwell In the Abodes of Night, Spring into sight Demons dog-faced, that show no mortal sign Of Truth, but dese…

Ah! were it so, love, could the flame Of fast electric fervour flash, Smite us through husk of form and name, Leave of the dross a little ash, One button of pure fused gold Identical—O floral hour ! That were the bliss no eyes behold, But Christ’s delighted bridal dower Assuming into God the Church. But—oh ! these nudes of Rodin! I Drag one more linnet from its perch That sang to us, and sang a lie. Did Rodin strip the clothes, and find A naked truth fast underneath? Never! Where lurks the soul and mind? What is…

… class which fifty years ago would have been called supernatural, to-day may be called spiritual, and fifty years hence will have a proper name based on an understanding of the phenomenon which occurred. Theorists have not been at a loss to explain; but they differ. The Mohammedan insists that God is, and did really send Gabriel with messages for Mohammed: but all others contradict him. And from the nature of the case proof is impossible. The lack of proof has been so severely felt by Christianity (and in a much less degree by Islam) that fresh m…

LIBER LXI As As. THE PRELIMINARY LECTION In the Name of the Initiator, Amen. 1. In the beginning was Initiation. The flesh profiteth nothing; the mind profiteth nothing; that which is un- known to you and above these, while firmly based upon their equilibrium, giveth life. 2. In all systems of religion is to be found a system of Initiation, which may be defined as the process by which a man comes to learn that unknown Crown. 3. Though none can communicate either the knowledge or the power to achieve this, which we may call the Great Work, it is…

The name of the third Hall is Wisdom, beyond which stretch the shoreless waters of AKSHARA, the indestruc- tible Fount of Omniscience. Akshara is the same as the Great Sea of the Qabalah. The reader must consult THE Equinox for a full study of this Great Sea. 26. If thou would’st cross the first Hall safely, let not thy mind mistake the fires of lust that burn therein for the sun- light of life. The metaphor is now somewhat changed. The Hall of Ignor…
