…w. And all that thou shalt be is nothing. Thou who wouldst enter the domain of the Great One of the Night of Time, this burden must thou take up. Deepen not a superficies. But I go on tearing down the veil that I may behold the vision of UTI, and hear the voice thereof. And there is a voice: He hath drawn the black bean. And another voice answers it: Not otherwise could he plant the Rose. And the first voice: He hath drunk of the waters of death. The answer: Not otherwise could he water the Rose. And the first voice: He hath burnt himself at th…

…hat he would not have gone to Cumberland at that time or gone to his house in Scotland that summer. There was no further escape. He must take up the terrible Karma, which he had evaded, in spite of the tremendous pressure brought to bear upon him by the Masters, for five years. It is Their silent dealings with him which fill Volume O of the Zgiinox. Broken at last, he went to the topmost point of the hill which crowns his estate, at midnight, and there, as we read in the diary, ‘““I once more solemnly renounced all that I have or am. On departi…

…constantly to unite your- selves in rapture with each and every thing that is, and that by utmost passion and lust of Union. To this end take chiefly all such things as are naturally repulsive. For what is pleasant is assimilated easily and without ecstacy: it is in the transfiguration of the loathsome and abhorred into The Beloved that the Self is shaken to the root in Love. Thus in human love also we see that mediocrities among men mate with null women: but History teacheth us that the supreme masters of the world seek ever the vilest and mos…

I have got a zeal for service since the retirement, wanted to take for new Motto “I aspire to serve” but cannot find Latin equivalent. (“Volo servare” would do.

…, sham jewels from the tray of Autolycus! Yet it was precisely because you were sick of all this that you came to me at all. How can one take you as a serious student? Only because you do have moments when the scales fall from your eyes, and your deep need tears down the tawdry counterfeits which hide the shrine where Isis stands unveiled-but ah! too far. You must advance. To advance-that means Work. Patient, exhausting, thankless, often bewildering Work. Dear sister, if you would but Work! Work blindly, foolishly, misguidedly, it doesn't matte…

THE EQUINOX take a much more definite form than an abstract one. In the former case when Sappho has once appeared, except for a break here and there, the vision is rational enough—if we can use so bastard a term to express ourselves in; not so the latter, which is particularly vague. In considering these visions and future ones, it must be remembered that though we now insist on a continuous chain of ideas as proof of their validity, and equally so with such as we may deal with later on, we at present find, above all else, that simplicity is ou…

THE EQUINOX take it. These persons cannot accept the Law. This also is understood and provided for in the Book of the Law: “The slaves shall serve.” But it is possible for any apparent slave to prove his mastery by fighting his oppressors, even as now; but he has this additional chance in our system, that his conduct will be watched with kindly eye by our authori- ties, and his prowess rewarded by admission to the ranks of the master-class. Also, he will be given fair play. You may now ask how such arrangements are possible. There is only one s…

Why did you induce us to take it ? ” “Why,” he laughed subtly, “it’s my will to want you to do your will.” ‘Yes, and I want the stuff.” “ Acute psychologist as you are, Sir Peter, you have failed to grasp my meaning. I fearI express myself badly.” Cockie was boiling inwardly, yet he was so weak and faint that he was like a lamb. I myself would have killed Lamus if I had had the means.

It was like a record being made on a gramophone. ‘“‘ She was only ill two days,” the man said. ‘ The doctors called it septic pneumonia.” I suppose I thanked him, and went away automati- cally. I found myself at home without knowing how I got here. Something told me that the real cause of her death was heroin, though, as a matter of fact, septic pheumonia can happen to any one at an…

And that’s where the doat-woman lives,” he went on, apparently assured by our guarantees of proper conduct. The solemnity of the elder boy and the rollicking disposition of the other carried us from spasm to spasm of suppressed laughter. “We seem to have walked straight into a fairy tale,” said Lou. “The Big Lion says that that’s the only true kind …
