…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
…cheme. One star can summon them to wake To self ; star-souls serene that gleam On life’s calm lake. That shall end never that began. All things endure because they are. Do what thou wilt, for every man And every woman is a star. Pan is not dead ; he liveth, Pan ! Break down the bar ! To man I come, the number of A man my number, Lion of Light; I am The Beast whose Law is Love. Love under will, his royal right — Behold within, and not above, One star in sight ! ONE STAR IN SIGHT A glimpse of the structure and system of the Great White Brotherhoo…
…RISTICS. 227" V. ‘“Now the great elephant strode with lordly footsteps in the forest, and Jehjaour shut himself up with his caldrons and things and felt quite happy, for he knew his danger was not near till the approaching of Perdu’ R Abu’s Arahatship. But in spite of the young gently-ambling cows which Ganesha took care to throw in his way, in spite of the tender shoots of green and the soft cocoanuts, this elephant was not as other elephants. The seasons spoke to him of change—the forest is ever full of sorrow— and nobody need preach to him t…
LYRICAL AND DRAMATIC. 191 Of space, for being the centre of all things, Time is to us the Now, and Space the Here ; From us all Matter radiates, is a part , Of our own thoughts and souls ; because we love. Thou shudderest, clinging to me; though the night Jewels her empire with the frosty crown Of thousand-twinkling stars, whose hoary crests Burn where light touches them, with diamond points Of infinite far fire, save where the sea Is ebony with sleep, and though the wind Pierces the marrow, since it is the word Of the Almighty, and cuts throug…
…ack to our previous irri- table agnosticism, and look for our Messiah elsewhere. But if we can see together on this one point, I think _ things will go fairly smoothly afterwards.
… how to curse. In his early days at Wastdale Head people would travel miles to hear him! Curse all the Gods and all the demons—all those things in short which go to make up John St. John. For timi—as he now knows—is the Name of the great Enemy, the Dweller upon the Threshold. It was that mighty spirit whose formless horror beat him back, for it was he! So now to return to concentration and the Will toward Adonai. One thing is well; the vow of " interpreting every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God with my soul” is keeping itself. Whateve…

… Earth Princess of Disks, Earth of Earth The Tarot trumps are twenty‐two in number; they represent the elements between the Sephiroth or Things‐in‐Themselves, so that their position on the Tree of Life is significant. Here are one or two examples. The card called “The Lovers”, whose secret title is “The Chil‐ dren of the Voice, the Oracle of the Mighty Gods”, leads from the number 3 to the number 6. The number 6 is the human personality of a man; the number 3 is his spiritual intuition. Therefore, it is natural and significant that the influenc…

…D] and see if that steadies me. (P.S.— Yes: instantly). Notice, please, how in this condition of intense magical strain the most trifling things have a great influence. Normally, I can eat anything in any quantity without the slightest effect of any sort; witness my expeditions and debauches; nothing upsets me. P.S.—But notice, please! Normally half a bottle of Burgundy excites me notably ; while doing this magic it is like so much water. A “transvaluation of all valuesl ” Over a citron pressé I have revised the new Ritual. Also I have bought sui…
…stic and the true artist. The Buddhist, however, does not stop here; for he alleges that even this consciousness is false; that like all things it has the Three Characteristics of Sorrow, Change, and Unsubstantiality. Now all this analysis is a purely intellectual one, though perhaps it may be admitted that few philosophers have been capable of so profound and acute a resolution of phenomena. It has nothing to do with mysticism as such, but its rational truth makes it a suitable basis for our proposed classification of the mystic states which r…

…n a very rational explanation of the greatness of great men. They had an experience so overwhelming, so out of proportion to the rest of things, that they were freed from all the petty hindrances which prevent the normal man from carrying out his projects. Worrying about clothes, food, money, what people may think, how and why, and above all the fear of consequences, clog nearly every one. Nothing is easier, theoretically, than for an anarchist to kill a king. He has only to buy a rifle, make himself a first-class shot, and shoot the king from a …
… present, on account of their implications. Let us rather speak of this sun as “some unknown thing whose presence has been masked by all things known, and by the knower.” It is probable, too, that our memory of Dhyana is not of the pheno- menon itself, but of the image left thereby on the mind. But this is duration of Dhyana. One can only say that, since it certainly occurred between such and such hours, it must have lasted less than that time. Thus we see, from Frater P. ’5 record, that it can certainly occur in less than an hour and five minut…
THE EQUINOX The grave of desolation ; I am weary Of all things: let me dream my life away. The breast of Fate is pregnant with Despair, Got on her by the piercing shaft of Time. Oh! Unborn child of Fate and Time, I am weary Of them that gave thee birth. Shall I love thee? O darling! Wilt thou come to me in the silence, Saying: “I bear the mystery of Time, And the secret of Fate?” I know not yet, but surely Thou shalt know of the Rose, the Rose, the Rose o’ the World! With thee shall I bear the chalice of blood-tipped lilies, The chalice of red,…
…iation, and to perform an act of religion is to perform an act of humanity.” When men understand at last that one must not dispute about things about which one is ignorant, When they feel that a little charity is worth more than much influence and domination, When the whole world respects what even God respects in the least of His creatures, the spontaneity of obedience and the liberty of duty, Then there will be no more than one religion in the world, the Christian and universal religion, the true Catholic religion, which will no longer deny i…

…s guardians cannot be "dying" any more than electricians as a class can be. lt is really difficult to answer your letters . You have got things so higgledy-piggledy. You write of the constitutions of two orders, the A:. A:. and the O.T.O.; yet you ignore the printed information about them which you are supposed to have read.
