…exact and conscientious details with regard to the miracles?” “Oh, as many as you like!” And immediately the old priest began to recount things which the whole world would have found impossible, but which did not even turn an eye-lash of the Professor of Transcendental Magic. L 145
…ry to imitate the style of Aunt Tabitha in "The Flapper's Fireside. " For one thing, you forgot to mention the Lamen. Now what are these things when they are at home? That's easy enough. The Lamen is a sort of Coat of Arms. It expresses the character and powers of the wearer. A talisman is a storehouse of some particular kind of energy, the kind that is needed to accomplish the task for which you have constructed it. The Pantacle is often confused with both the others; accurately, it is a Minutum Mundum, "the Universe in Little" ; it is a map o…
…through the beautiful sunshine, meditating upon the discipline of the Operation. It seems only necessary to cut off definitely dispersive things, aimless chatter and such; for the Operation itself will guide one, leading to disgust for too much food and so on. Ifthere be upon my limbs any chain that requires a definite effort to break it, perhaps sleep is that chain. But we shall see—so/m'lur ambulando. If any asceti- cism be desirable later on, true wariness will soon detect any danger, and devise a means to meet it and overcome it. Have finished…
…ts better magical sight and feeling when one is performing a ritual in one’s Astral Body, so called. For one is on the same plane as the things one’s dealing with. If, however, serious work is wanted, one must be all there. To get “ materialised " “spirits "—pardon the absurd language !——one should (nay, must I) work inside
…ashed round to the Italian consulate to have our passport viséd, got our sleeping cars from the hotel porter, and had the maid‘ pack our things while we had a last heavenly dinner.
…n uniting our Conscious (three-dimensional) with our Unconscious (four-dimensional) Self can we expect even a symbolic conception of how things go on "in them furrin parts." Speculation on such points is unpardonably profitless; I have only devoted these few paragraphs to the subject 240
…y Judgment is relative ro thine own Condition, and not absolute. This also is a point of Tolerance, whereby thy shalt avoid indeed those Things that are hateful or noxious to thee, unless thou canst (in our Mode) win them by Love, by withdrawing thine Attention from them; but thou shalt not destroy them, for that they are without doubt the Desire of another. m
…r lady! So that our Father sank into deep sleep and dreamed a dream, and in that mirific dream it seemed unto him that the walls of all -things slid into and across each other, so that he feared greatly, for the stability of the universe is the great enemy; the unstable being the ever- lasting, saith Adhou Bin Aram, the Arab. O Elmen Zata, our Sophic Pilaster! Further in the dream there was let down from heaven a mighty tessaract, bounded by eight cubes, whereon sat a mighty dolphin having eight senses. Further, he beheld a cavern full of most …
… to take you upon an high mountain and show you all the king doms of the earth. I have seen them, said the Socialist. But, said the Man, things look very different from that height. Poverty and vice are the same from any point of view, began the Socialist. Listen 1 said the other. Arthur Gray stretched his legs as well as the room would allow. Master, your pipe is out. Read us that yarn of your turn-to with Asmodee in Scotland. If ever a place seemed to defy God, “it is this, it is this, it is this.” Tune our instruments, master! The big man pu…
…k, from two according sub- stances, Mind and Divine Spirit, as a third to these He added Holy Love, the venerable Charioteer uniting all things.” “Filling the Soul with profound Love.” “The Soul of man does in a manner clasp God to herself. Having nothing mortal, she is wholly inebriated with God. For she glorieth in the harmony under which the mortal body sub- sisteth.” “ As rays of Light his locks flow forth, ending in acute points.

…rose? Sharp thorns in thee are set ; In me, in me beget The dolorous despair of this desire. Thy body sways and swings Above the tide of things, Laps me as ocean, wraps me round as fire! Ye elemental sorceries ofsong, Surge, strenuous and strong, Seeking dead dreams, the secret of the shrine; So that she drain my life and being up As from a golden cup, Το mingle in her blood, death’s kiss incarnadine, Who cometh from the ocean as a flower? Who blossometh above the barren sea, Thy lotus set beneath thee for a bower, Thine eyes awakened, lightened,…

… of universal movement. By light, the suns are attached to each other, and they interlace their rays like chains of electricity. Men and things are magnetized by light like the suns, and, by means of electro-magnetic chains whose tension is caused by sympathies and affinities, are able to communicate with each other from one end of the world to the other, to caress or strike, wound or heal, in a manner doubtless natural, but invisible, and of the nature of prodigy. There is the secret of magic. Magic, that science which comes to us from the mag…

…e. Thus if we contrast Health with Sickness, we include in their Sphere of Union no more than one Qual‐ ity that may be predicted of all Things. Furthermore, it is for the most Part not easy to find or to formulate the true Contradiction of any Thought as a positive Idea, but only as a Formal Ne‐ gation in vague Terms, so that the ready Answer is but Antithesis. Thus to “White”, one putteth not the Phrase “All that which is not White”, for this is void, formless; it is neither clear, simple, nor positive in Conception; but one answereth “Black”…
…rm.” Not very helpful, is it? As if divination could ever help on such exalted planes ! As if the trumpery elementals that operate these things possessed the Secrets of the Destiny of an Adept, or could help him in his agony! For this reason, divination should be discarded from the start : it is only a “ mere toy, the basis of mercenary fraud ” as Zoroaster more practically assures us. 105
…he Rose of all Delight, The Rose of Dew, the Rose of Love and Night. The Rose of Silence, covering as with a vesture The solemn unity of things Beheld in the mirror of truth, The Rose indifferent to Gods gesture, The Rose on moonlight wings That flies to the House of Fire, The Rose of Honey in Youth ! Ah ! No dim mystery of desire Fathoms this gulf ! No light invades The mystical musical shades Of a faith in the future, a dream of the day When athwart the dim glades Of the forest a ray Of sunlight shall flash and the dew die away ! 15. Let the…
… army of conscripts was underfed and not properly drilled. I have also been told that the battle was won by the Belgians. Now, all these things are merely matters of opinion. There may be a little truth in some of them. But we have practically no means of finding out exactly how much, even if our documentary support is valid to establish any of these theories. It is, also, almost impossible to estimate the causes of any given event, if only because those causes are infinite, and each one of them is to a certain extent an efficient determining c…
…eclare that one believes in it is to recognize that one does not know it. The Apostle St. Paul declares all faith contained in these two things :—To believe that God is, and that He rewards them who seek Him. 26
