… with all those most insidious fiends, the sense of guilt, of shame-in a word, the 'inferiority complex' or something very like it." The whole tenor of The Book of the Law is to this effect. The very test of worth is that one should be aware of it and not afraid to sock the next man on the jaw if he disputes it! Love is the law, love under will. Fraternally, 666 P.S. But what do I mean when I say "myself' in normal speech? I mean Tiphareth, the human self as determining the identity of the Supreme Triad plus as much Ruach as I have succeeded in…

…pt or a Bishop . But with such inborn predilection , and such outward assumption , it is easy to understand why it was that he threw the whole energy of his life into an attempt to refute the advancing scepticism latent in the works of Hobbes and Locke . He saw , and seeing fought the many children which had sprung from the fertile womb of the Cartesian doctrine , of abstract general ideas and secondary qualities ; which alone found birth in the powers of language, and in the delusion of words . But behind the didactic Berkeley stands the mysti…

Your priest does not know why he does so and so any more than your freemason (I have yet to meet an English freemason who knows what the word freemason means, or how it should be spelt) knows why he wears an apron. It is tradition, and the Word of God is thereby made of none effect. But Waite was not content with this…

…ague visionary yearnings! It is true that He wishes the unity of all that lives, complete harmony in the parts, and perfect light in the whole. It is also true that He may spend a great deal of time in killing or otherwise instructing men, but He has not got at all the old conception.

I was trying to forget the whole business. The book itself is a complete treatise on mysticism, expressed in the symbolism prescribed by Persian piety. It describes the relations of God and man, explains how the latter falls from his essential innocence by allowing himself to be deceived by the illusion of matter. His religion cease to be real and become formal; he falls i…

Behind the spider’s web is a star of twelve rays; and behind that again, a black bull, furiously pawing up the ground. The flames from his mouth increase and whirl, and he cries: Behold the mys- tery of toil, O thou who art taken in the toils of mystery. For I who trample the earth thereby make whirlpools in the air; be comforted, therefore, for though I be black, in the roof of my mouth is…

Following the example of the Big Lion, every one pointed a forefinger downwards to the left, swung it sharply across to the right. This gesture was repeated three times and accompanied by the words :— “ Evoe Ho! Evoe Ho!

But was it imaginary or was it real? Real enough to swal- low up the sane thought! At that instant the old Arthur reappeared. I am not the monster! I am Arthur Blair, of Fettes and Trinity.
