…s an optical sensation (Vedana) of red; an olfactory sensation of fragrance; and so on. Even its weight, its space, are modifications of sense; and the whole statement is transformed into “ Here is a pleasurable set of sensations which we group under the name of a rose.” In such a world lives the sensuous artist. Next, these modifications of sense are found to be but percepts; the pleasure or pain vanishes; and the sensations are observed coldly and clearly without allowing the mind to be affected. This perception (Saiifia) is the world of the …

… as if one told a blind man that he must be able to see through a brick wall before re- gaining his eyesight. 16. Thou shalt not let thy senses make a playground of thy mind. Following on the tremendous task of verse 15 comes the obvious elementary piece of instruction which one gives to a beginner. The best way out of the dilemma is to take verse 15 ina very elementary sense. Let us paraphrase that verse. “Try to get into the habit of thinking of your mind and body as distinct. Attach yourself to matters of eternal impor- tance, and do not be …

…uman Reason , of which no instance can be shown in any other sphere . If, as generally happens , we regard the phenomena of the world of sense as things in themselves ; if we assume the principles of their connection as universal of things in themselves , and not merely as principles valid of experience , as is usual and indeed unavoidable without our Critique ; then an unexpected conflict arises , never to be quelled in the ordinary dogmatic way , because both theses and antitheses can be demonstrated by equally evident , clear and irresistibl…

…n in the Dia logues he writes : To know every thing knowable is certainly a perfection ; but to endure , or suffer , or feel anything by sense , is an imperfection . The former , I say , agrees to God , but not the latter . God knows or hath ideas ; but the ideas are not conveyed to Him by sense as ours are . . 2 God to him is a mahayogi . It is absolutely true of Hume , but Hume , studiously avoiding the word God , could find no helpmeet to fill his place : For my part , when I enter most intimately into what I call myself , I always stumble o…

… ten thousand worlds! The conclusion of our researches last week was that the ultimate Yoga which gives emancipation, which destroys the sense of separateness which is the root of Desire, is to be made by the concentration of every element of one's being, and annihilating it by intimate combustion with the universe itself. I might here note, in parenthesis, that one of the difficulties of doing this is that all the elements of the Yogi increase in every way exactly as he progresses, and by reason of that progress. However, it is no use crossing…

…may be the greater. The formula is evidently one of dauntless courage. It expresses the idea of vitality and manhood in its most dynamic sense. The only religion which corresponds to this School at all is that of ancient Egypt; possibly also that of Chaldea. This is because those religions are Magical religions in the strict technical sense; the religious component of them is negligible. So far as it exists, it exists only for the uninitiate. There are, however, traces of the beginning of the influence of the School in Judaism and in Paganism. …

Chosen of Me ! Thou heart of hearts, thou mine, Man ! Stamping into dust the Soul Divine By might of that mere Manhood ! Sense and thought Reel for the glory of thee kissed and caught In the eternal circle of my arms ! Woven in vain are the mysterious charms Endymion taught Diana ! For one gaze ; One word of my unutterable praise ; And I was utterly and ever lost, Lost in the whirlwind of thy love, and tossed A wreck on its irremeable sea ! Life ! Life ! This kiss ! Draw in thy breath ! To me ! To me ! \Tannhauser is lost. 31

…and thirdly, the traditional connection of Paris with extravagant gaiety and luxuriant love. I was quite aware at the time that my moral sense and my mental sense had been thrown overboard for the moment; but my attitude was simply: “ Good- bye, Jonah!” For the first time in my life I was being absolutely myself, freed from all the inhibitions of body, intellect, and training which keep us, normally, in what we call sane courses of action. I seem to remember asking myself if I was insane, and answering, “ Of course I am—sanity is a com- promise…

I take this verse in its most obvious and ordinary sense; for instance , the following sentence: "The exposure of innocence is a lie" ; for that means clearly enough Hypocrisy. So "It is a lie, this folly against self" only means "To hell with sentimental altruism , with false modesty , with all those most insidious fiends, the sense of guilt, of shame-in a word, the 'inferiority complex' or something very like it."

THE HASHEESH EATER the time of their first presence considered trivial acts—as small as the cutting of a willow wand, all fled by his sense in arrow-flight; yet he remembered them as real incidents, and recognised their order in his existence. This phenomenon is one of the most striking exhibitions of the state in which the higher hasheesh exaltation really exists. It is a partial sundering, for the time, of those ties which unite soul and body. That spirit should ever lose the traces of a single impression is impossible. In the morning he awok…
