…with its cross hilt, of the Cross, that is to say of the Phallus, and this is what is called Panic fear, which, originally an individual thing, is applied to a mob, because a mob has no Soul. A very great many elementals are to be found in human form to-day; they are nearly al- ways women, or such men as arenot men. Such beings are imitative, irresponsible, always being shocked, without any standard of truth, although often extremely logical; crim- inal without a sense of right and wrong, and as shameless as they are prudish.

Towards Madness 215 whole thing into ridicule. There are numerous other examples in Isterature of the same conflict between the genius and the mind which is its imperfect medium. For instance—at the other end of the scale—Mr. W. S. Maugham, in ‘The Magictan,” does his malignant utmost to make the “ villain’’ objectionable in every way, an object of contempt, and a failure. Yet in the very moment when his enemies succeed in murdering him and destroying his life’s work, they are obliged to admit that he has ‘‘ Accomplished the Great Work’’—of cre…

But, being guardians of the truth, they have taught nothing but falsehood, except unto such as understood; for the truth may not pass the Gate of the Abyss. But the reflection of the truth hath been shown in the lower Sephiroth. And its balance is in Beauty, and therefore have they who sought only beauty come nearest to the truth. For the beauty receiveth directly three rays from the supernals, and the others no more than one. So, therefore, they that have sought…

… of that physical Qabalah which we call magic. According to the qabalistic principles formulated by the school of Paracelsus, death is nothing but a slumber, ever growing deeper and more definite, a slumber which it would not be impossible to stop in its early stages by exercising a powerful action of will on the astral body as it breaks loose, and by recalling it to life through some powerful interest or some dominating affection. Jesus expressed the same thought when he said to the daughter of Jairus: “ The maiden is not dead, but sleepeth”; …

… In the next chapter of our book is given the word of Hadit, who is the complement of Nuit. He is eternal energy, the Infinite Motion of Things, the central core of all being. The manifested Universe comes from the marriage of Nuit and Hadit; without this could no thing be. This eternal, this perpetual marriage-feast is then the nature of things themselves; and therefore everything that iis, is a crystalli- zation of divine ecstasy. Hadit tells us of Himself: “I am the flame that burns in every heart of man, and in the core of every star.” He i…

THE EQUINOX the sweet process of life is at work in every cell and particle of the dead. Truly, there is no such thing as death. Lips grown tired of speech, and outhonied of the honey of all kisses fade and whisper away into something else. The crude utterances of human language fail them, and they win instead the subtle perfumed conversation of flowers and vegetation. Thus their dust comes to lie about a rose-root, and with the lovely chemistry of earth they tremble back to the surface once more as crinkled and crimson perfume, or a frail flut…

I had become very cynical and blas about all these things, which only a few months before would have roused me to ecstasies of wonder.

Everything was recognized automatically as illusion, calculated to fetter the soul if one allowed it to fool one. On the twelfth I reached Agra. My entry about the Taj Mahal i…
