…ouds without water havenosilver lining. The unhappy man need not have feared that the poor servants of God would claim him as repentant, though surely we would all have shed the last drop of our blood to bring him to the grace of God. Alas ! it was not to be. The devilish precautions of this human fiend excluded all such possibilities. He died as he had lived, no doubt. Alas! no doubt. — VII—

…riends. MEISTER ECKHART’S SERMONS. Translated by CLAUDE FIELD, M.A. Same price and publisher. Too pedantic and theological to please me, though I daresay he means well. THE WORSHIP OF SATAN IN MODERN FRANCE. By ARTHUR LILLIE. Swan Sonnenschein and Co., 6s. Arthur Lillie is as convenient as Mrs, Boole from the standpoint of the poet. I should add that the catch-penny title is entirely misleading, and has no discoverable connection with the contents, save those of a short preface, cribbed, like the title, from Mr. Waite’s “ Devil-Worship in Franc…

…ne have suffered and shall suffer from this negligence, and I must humbly take any results that may arise out of my failure. Still, even though I may have neglected the advice given me whenI first became a Proba- tioner, I feel that I have progressed, be it never so slightly, along the Path which from the first I set out to tread. May it not be, O Adonai, that even now the second six months may be made to balance the first six, and that what is passed may yet be for the best?” At that time he had not found out that things always turn out for th…

It is a sign of success, though only by the student himself is it perceived, when he hears the name of the God vehemently roared forth, as if by the concourse of ten thousand thunders; and it should appear to him as if that Great Voice proceeded from the Universe, and not from himself. In both the above practices ail consciousness of anything but the God-form and name should be absolutely blotted out$ and the longer it takes for norma…

But your holy place shall be untouched throughout the centuries: though with fire and sword it be burnt down & shattered, yet an invisible house there standeth, and shall stand until the fall of the Great Equinox; when Hrumachis shall arise and the double-wanded one assume my throne and place. Another prophet shall arise, and bring fresh fever from the skies; another woman shall awake the lust & wor ship of the Snake; another soul of God and beast shall min gle in the glo…

“It seems that this wheel is being spun by a hand. Though the wheel fills the whole Aire, yet the hand is much bigger than the wheel. And though this vision is so great and splen‐ did, yet there is no seriousness with it, or solemnity. It seems that the hand is spinning the wheel merely for pleasure‐it would be better to say amusement. “A voice comes: For he is a jocund and ruddy god, and his laughter is the vibration of all that exists, and the earthquakes of the soul. “One is conscious of the whirring of the wheel thrilling one, like an elect…

Such were the indications from which I sought to piece together our plan of escape! Perhaps rather by intuition than by reason, I gath- ered from some two hundred of such clues that the guards Bertrand, Rolland, and Monet, had been bribed, and also promised advancement, and (above all) re- moval from the hated Island, should they connive at our escape. It seemed that the Government …

Cf. also “Animal Automatism,” pp. 236-237. (2) S ORROW’S CAUSE.—The caus e of sorrow is desire.

…write the whole in order to give it a philosophic unity. Gerald Kelly forcibly prevented me from throwing it into the river at Marlotte, though he admitted quite frankly that he could not read even through Book I. and did not see how any one could. Tell me, he said, conjuring the friendship of years, can you read it? Even a poet should be honest ; I confessed that I could not ! Taking it in sections, with relays and an ambulance, we could see no fault in it, how- ever. It is clumsily built; it is all feet and face; but you cannot make a Monster…

As it was, he has never been able to feel at home on horseback, though he has ridden thousands of miles, many of them over really dangerous country. On the other hand --- subconscious memory of previous incarnations, or the Eastern soul of him, or the fact that he took to it after he had learned the foolishness of fear? --- he was from the first perfectly at home on a camel. And this despite the fact that these animals act like highly placed officials and even --- if scabb…

…I had come across on my way home. We set out, he being armed with a sketch book and a kukri, which he would always carry about with him, though I could never understand the reason; if I had been anticipating the day's events, I should not have troubled to inquire. At the edge of the hill weariness overtook me; I sat down, pointing to him a tiny path down the hill slope which he was to pursue. He was rather a long time returning, and I was just about to follow in search when I heard his cooee; in a couple of minutes he rejoined me. I was rather …

God rewarded me by giving me the power of reading thought, which constitutes an extra sense for me; and to my nose He gave a voice of its own. I was a dentist. Indeed, I have found a new way of extracting teeth without gas. You merely press the neck of your patient, who faints in consequence, and you can then safely operate. How did you come to this?

…Holy Isle’”—is not the thinking self; it is the ‘“Dwarf-Self,” the self which is beyond thinking. The aspirant is now in fact beyond all thought, and this talk of building high the wall or dam is too much like poetry to be good sense. What it means is, “Beware lest the re- awakened Ego, the Chiah, should become self-conscious, as it is liable to do owing to its wedding with Neshamah.” Or, shall we say, with Nephesh? For the organism has now been brought to perfect harmony in all its parts. The Adept has a strong, healthy, vigorous body, and a m…

I’m glad, though, that the new honeymoon didn’t last more than three or four days. It is irritating to one’s vanity. But that is merely a memory. How can vanity co-exist with the spiritual life? e I saw the Spirit of heroin to-day when I went up to the magic room.
