… 24, 1909, 8-9 p.m. Tue Cry OF THE 26TH AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED DES There is a very bright pentagram: and now the stone is gone, and the whole heaven is black, and the blackness is the blackness of a mighty angel. And though he is black (his face and his wings and his robe and his armour are all black), yet is he so bright that I cannot look upon him. And he cries: O ye spears and vials of poison and sharp swords and whirling thunderbolts that are about the corners of the earth, girded with wrath and justice, know ye that His name is Righteous-…

Thus its fundamental conception is identical with that of modem science; underlying the whole System is a faith, implicit but real and firm, in the order and uniformity of nature.

She had thought it best to resign quietly, but received a reply of the most staggering character. The letter is dated February 16th, 1900, and I quote the last two paragraphs in full.

The holy-man-of-the-East must keep this state of mind unimpaired during his whole life, using it as a weapon to attack the Three Characteristics (the antithesis of Nibbana) even as one uses one’s normal dualistic consciousness to attack that dualism. But I must observe that this idea is so tremendous that I almost doubt its possibility, and tremble as to my own under- standing of it.

Neshamah is beyond the Abyss, has no concern with that bridal, but to absorb it; and by offering the blood of her Son to the All-Father, that was her husband, she awakes Him. He, in His turn, vitalizes the original Daughter, thus com- pleting the cycle. Now on the human plane this All-Fath…
