…scribe this in a bewildering multiplicity of unintelligible symbols. We hâve no reason to suppose that they were ail talking of the same thing, or otherwise. The same remarks apply to every reagent and every process, no less than to the final product or products. Yet beneath this diversity, we may perceive an obscure identity. They ail begin with a substance in nature which is described as existing almost everywhere, and as universally esteemed of no value. The alchemist is in ail cases to take this substance, and subject it to a sériés of oper…
…self were already by the time we sat down old and good friends. We ate, we drank outrageously every sort of ex- traordinary wine, and, a thing no less strange, it seemed to me after several hours that I was no more drunk than he was; nevertheless, gambling, that super-human pleasure, had in- terrupted at different intervals our frequent li- bations, and I must tell you that I played and lost my soul in a rubber with heroic careless- ness and lightness. The soul is so impalpable a thing, so often useless, and sometimes so troublesome, that at th…
…ce of it. What he said came out right; one day I found that I had acquired the knack of it. Now with these semi-pupils of yours the same thing probably applies. The point you raise in particular as baffling them is the getting on to the astral plane. It is not much good explaining why the failure occurs, or at what point it occurs; the only thing that is any use is for the pupil to go on and on and on eternally. He must find out for himself where the snag is, and he must continue his experiment until he acquires the knack. All this should be pe…
…Mysterio Eucharistico Universali (Of the Universal Eucharistick Mystery) Y Son, heed also this Word of thine Uncle William ONeill; Everything that lives is holy. Yea, and more also, every Act is holy, being essential to the Universal Sacrament. Knowing this, thou mayst conform with that which is written in The Book of the Law: to make no Distinction between any one Thing and any other Thing. Learn well to apprehend this Mystery, for it is the Great Gate of the College of Understanding, whereby each and all of thy Senses become constant and per…
…buttin, but if I could be any use to you about this deal of yours——”’ Feccles shook his head. _ “No,” he said, ‘‘ this isn’t the sort of thing at all I’m putting my last bob into the deal; but it’s a risky business at the best, and I wouldn’t take a chance on your dropping five thou’ on the very first bet. Of course, it is rather a good thing if it comes off——” . “* Let’s have the details, dear boy,” I said, trying to feel like a business man bredin the bone. “The thing itself’s simple enough,” said Feccles. “It’s just a case of taking up an op…
XXVI PREFACE. mental and strong. The whole soul storms the height of heaven, exults, laughs, enjoys, falls exhausted. The thing is clean. It is the lady novelist that drags her snail-track across the desert of bad literature. Nothing so excites my loathing as to see these ghouls licking their chops over the adven- tures of some dirty slut of a Princess. They scent indecency in passion beyond the marriage-tie : they will not even allow a man to be in love with his own wife. Why shouldn’t he be ? He is now and then. I happen to know it. The long …
OR, THE ANGEL OF VENICE 75 MONICA. All my prayer is for the poor of the earth, Poor outcast things of little excellence or worth. ALESSANDRO. Say, shall we rescue you ? MONICA. Father, Thy Kingdom come ! Butdare I ask ?not yetI would earn martyrdom. O men, if I must speak to men who thought no more To speak except to God, by the Lord Christ who bore Our sins upon the cross, I pray you pardon me So weakling as I am, a thing of vanity. I am jealous of my crowns ; my virgin lilies mix With thorns of martyrdom upon my crucifix ! A CITIZEN. What …
… will, and thus enabled to act freely of its own accord. This is the same phenomenon referred to above as being a good sign. Finally something happens Whose nature may form the subject of a further discussion later on. For the moment let it suffice to say that this consciousness of the Ego and the non-Ego, the seer and the thing seen, the knovver and the thing known, is blotted out. There is usually an intense light, an intense sound, and a feeling of such overwhelming bliss that the resources of language have been ex- hausted again and again in…

THE MORALIST. For AUGUSTUS Il faut être toujours sâoul Charles Baudelaire. Delaying to do the thing thats right Is as bad as having a funk on; Then why should we wait till Saturday night To get all kinds of a drunk on? With brandy a century old in sight, Why should we wait till Saturday night? If I havent a house on the Grand Parade, Ill build me a hut of wattle. The corkscrew seems to have got mislaid? Then smash the neck of the bottle! Courage and will and a whack will aid, Though the corkscrew seem to have got mislaid. Anatomists say th…

… or disease. In analysing the nature of this work of controlling the mind, the student will appreciate without trouble the fact that two things are involved—the person seeing and the thing seen—the person knowing and the thing known; and he will come to regard this as the necessary condition of all consciousness. We are too accustomed to assume to be facts things about which we have no real right even to guess. We assume, for example, that the unconscious is the torpid; and yet nothing is more certain than that bodily organs which are functioni…
…, o my son, that Word of Publius Vergilius Maro, that was the greatest of all the Magicians of his time: in medio tutissimus ibis. Which Thing has also been said by many wise Men in other Lands; and the Holy Qabalah confirmeth the same, placing Tipheret, which is the Man, and the Beauty and Harmony of Things, and Gold in the Kingdom of the Metals, and the Sun among the Planets, in the Midst of the Tree of Life. For the Centre is the Point of Balance of all Vectors. So then if thy wilt live wisely, learn that thou must establish this Relation of…

…he fires of laughter lurk; Played with her hair, tangled and matted ; Fell over strict nice conduct’s brink, Gave all she would, and something more. She was an honest little thing, Gave of her best, asked no response. What more could Heaven’s immortal king Censed with innumerous orisons? So, by that grace, I recognized A something somewhere to be prized Somewhat. What portress studies song? My worthy concierge was wrong. 47
