…aited at the end of the city and the roads thereof. Awake Thou! wait no more! 56. Nay, Lord! but I am come to Thee. It is I that wait at last. 57. The prophet cried against the mountain; come thou hither, that I may speak with thee! 75
…s to mean an Asat which is higher than, and beyond, Sat. 25. The Dharma of the “Heart” is the embodiment of Bodhi, the Permanent and Everlasting. “Bodhi” implies the root “Light” in its highest sense of L.V.X. But, even in Hindu Theory, ravra feu. 26. The Lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean. To make them clean a cleaner is required. The flame feels not the process of the cleaning. “The branches of the tree are shaken by the wind; the trunk remains unmoved.” This verse again refers to the process of selection and elimination already de…
…ugh it were from the very Throne of God Himself that a voice issues bidding him stay and be content, let him struggle on, ever on. 6. At last there must corne a moment when his whole being is swallowed up in fatigue, overwhelmed by its own inertia. 1 Let him sink (when no longer can he strive, though his tongue be bitten through with the effort and the blood gush from his nostrils) into the blackness of unconsciousness, and then, on coming to himself, let him Write down soberly and accurately a record of ail that hath occurred, yea a record of …
28 Mysterious hints were given; and at last a boy named Gibson told me what action to make, but he did not tell me to what object to apply the process. It seems extraordinary that nature should have afforded me no indication. I nowise connected the organ of reproduction with any voluntary act. I made conjectures dictated by purely intellectual considerations, and carried out experiments based on their results; but they were absolutely ill-directed. I never guessed what organ was in question. The discovery was delayed for years. My revolt must h…
…y, O Prometheus ! Thy heart, ceaselessly devoured, cannot die; it is thy vulture, it is Jupiter, who will die! One day we shall awake at last from the painful dreams of a tormented life ; our ordeal will be finished, and we shall be sufficiently strong against sorrow to be immortal. Then we shall live in God with a more abundant life, and we shall descend into His works with the light of His thought, we shall be borne away into the infinite by the whisper of His love. We shall be without doubt the elder brethren of a new race, the angels of pos…

…e drew all to a point : he delighted. Therefore he is not, having become that which he was not. Mark ye all : it is declared. Now of the last adventure of our Father and of his going into the land of Apes, that is, England, and of what he did there, it is not fitting that I, the poor fool who loved him, shall now dis- course. But it is most necessary that I should speak of his holy death and of his funeral and of the bruit thereof, for that is gone into diverse lands as a false and ly ing report, whereby much harm and ill-luck com e to the Bret…
THE TWO PATHS 72. And if he falls, e’en then he does not fall in vain; the enemies he slew in the last battle will not return to life in the next birth that will be his. Further encouragement to proceed; for although you do not attain everything, yet the enemies you have conquered will not again attack you. In point of fact this is hardly true. The conquest must be very complete for it to be so; but they certainly recur with very diminished intensity. Similar is the gradual immunization of man to syphilis, which was a rapidly fatal disease when…

[31] CAPITULUM III I was some seven years old, resumed the Archbishop, at the close of the exciting interlude described in the last chapter, when I first obtained any real satisfaction from the passion of love, which has since done so much to regulate and in- spire my career. The incident occurred on this wise. For some days my ponderous and unwieldy bollocks had become turgid and swollen with the fluid we know, my boy, you dog ! As spunk. Eighty-three pounds and four ounces they weighed on the penny-in-the-slot machine at our village station, …
…to “ make Samadhi ” on that cat. They use the word Jhana to describe mystic states. This is excessively misleading, for as we saw in the last section, Dhyana is a preliminary to Samadhi, and of course Jhana is merely the wretched plebeian Pali corruption of it.1 There are many kinds of Samadhi.2 Some auf/2073 consider Alma- dars/zana, z'lze Universe as a single plzenomenon wir/zeu! conditions, to öe z‘lzefirsz‘real Samao’nz'. If we accept this, we must relegate many less exalted states to the class of Dhyana. Patanjali enumerates a number of the…
… spiritual. The Boers, driven from one settlement to another by the most barefaced treachery and tyranny, and finally conquered in their last stronghold by invading armies outnumbering them twenty to one, were yet able to reconquer their country for themselves, without a drop of bloodshed, within a decade of the fall of Pretoria.

… the Pyramids, under the Night of Pan. Now then in my dear Love of thee will I reveal this Secret of Wisdom which I wrote occultly in my last Chapter, in these Words: All Things Exist. Considered by right Under- standing, this is to deny that there is anything imaginable or unimaginable which doth not exist. That is, the Body of Our Lady Nuith hath no Limit, and there is no void that She filleth not with the Variety and Beauty of Her Stars in Her Space. Nor is there any one Law of her Nature, but in Her are all Laws, so that each Thing or each …
…. Thou art Python, the terrible serpent about the end of all things! 31. I turned me about thrice in every way; and always I came at the last unto Thee. 32. Many things I beheld mediate and immediate; but, beholding them no more, I beheld Thee. 33. Come thou, O beloved One, O Lord God of the Uni- verse, O Vast One, O Minute One! I am Thy beloved. 34. All day I sing of Thy delight; all night I delight in Thy song. 35. There is no other day or night than this. 36. Thou art beyond the day and the night; I am Thyself, O my Maker, my Master, my Mate…
…wo Triangles of especial importance to mystics; one is the equilateral, the other that familiar to the Past Master in Craft Masonry. The last sentence in the text refers to the ‘Seed’ of Fire, the ‘Ace of Wands,’ the ‘Lion-Serpent,’ the ‘Dwarf-Self,’ the ‘Winged Egg,’ etc., etc., etc. 79. And this, O Yogi of success, is what men call Dhyana, the right precursor of Samadhi. 36

…song of hope soundeth more feeble in the pilgrim’s heart. The thrill of doubt is now upon him; his step less steady grows. Following the last comment a description of this Path re- fers to the beginning of ‘dryness’ in the course of Meditation. 30. Beware of this, O Candidate! Beware of fear that spreadeth, like the black and soundless wings of midnight bat, between the moonlight of thy Soul and thy great goal that loometh in the distance far away. 98
…an inner room. We waited and waited. I couldn’t understand at all what they could have been talking about in there for so long. _ But at last the soldier at the door beckoned us in. The vice-consul was sitting on a sofa in the background. With his head on one side, he shot a keen fixed glance out of his languid eyes, and bit his thumbnail persis- tently, as if in a state of extreme nervous perplexity. I was swept by a feeling of complete humiliation. It was a transitory feverish flush; and it left me more exhausted than ever. The commissario sw…
