…lian folly. It may, I think, be readily conceded that the reasoning faculty is not apodeictally absolute. It represents a stage in human thought, no more. You cannot convince a savage of the truth of the Binomial Theorem; should we then be surprised if a mystic fails to convert a philosopher? Yet must he try. 51
…the faster to victory. As early as the days of the Rig Veda, before the beginning was, there was “neither not-being nor yet being.” This thought again and again rumbles through the realms of philosophy, souring the milk of man’s understanding with its bitter scepticism. Not-being was this in the beginning, From it being arose. Self-fashioned indeed out of itself . . . The being and the beyond * Kena Upanishad, 11. 59
… of eyes, and he managed to creep behind her. A fixed idea had taken possession of his childish brain. He would take the jewels everyone thought so beautiful, and take them to Ljubov. Suddenly, he sprang forward and his hands searched in the darkness for the ears. A tiny little sound, made by the Lady, as she turned round, helped him to find the place. His fingers closed on each side over the ears and he pulled out with a violent movement. The Lady fell unconscious without having uttered a sound, so acute and sudden had been the pain. Piotr wen…

PENTECOST 31 Of thought ! How ends the brave B.D., Summarising Ontology ? “This talk of ‘Real’ is a wraith. Our minds are lost in war of word ; The whole affair is quite absurd— Behold ! the righteous claims of Faith !” (He does not rhyme you quite so neatly ; But that’s the sense of it, completely.) I do not feel myself inclined In spit of my irrevent mind, So lightly to pass by the schemes Of Fichte, Schelling, Hegel (one, Small though the apparent unison), As if they were mere drunken dreams ; For the first word in India here From Koromandl …

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 posterity. Celestial messengers, we shall wander in immensity, and the stars will be our gleaming ships. 18

…intimate contamination, involved his being in a more suffocating terror. Now and again it drowned that consciousness in a gulf which his thought could not express to me; and in- deed the first and least of his torments is utterly beyond human expression. It was a woe ever expanded, ever intensified, by each vial of wrath. Memory increased, and understand- ing grew; the imagination had equally got rid of limit. What this means who can tell? The human mind cannot really appreciate numbers beyond a score or so;
…held not Countenance ”—yea, being utterly absorbed in His ineffable Glory—yea, being That of which there is no Image either in speech or thought. What a weary world we live in! No sooner am I betrayed into making a few flattering remarks about my body than I find everything wrong with it, and two grains of Cascara Sagrada necessary to its welfare! . . . . I wish I knew where I was! I don’t at all recognise what Path I am on; it doesn’t seem like a Path at all. As far as I can see, I am drifting rudder- less and sailless on a sea of no shore—the F…

…te qa‐ balistic system of greater depth and sublimity than any other. The details of this system have not yet been revealed. It has been thought right, nevertheless, to hint at its existence by equat‐ ing the designs of these two cards. Not only therefore, because Libra is a sign of Venus, but be‐ cause she is the partner of the Fool, is the Goddess represented as dancing, with the sugges‐ tion of Harlequin. The figure is that of a young and slender woman poised exactly upon toetip. She is crowned with the ostrich plumes of Maat, the Egyptian g…
…r radiant fire Into my shrivelled head , to wither Love's desire ?? The picture becomes grander still , the child of life becomes old in thought : III . I was a child long years ago , it seems , Or months it may be - I am still a child ! They pictured me the stars as wheeling wild In a huge bowl of water ; but my dreams Built it of Titan oak , its sides were piled Of fearful wood Hewn from God's forests , paid with sweat and tears and blood . Yet to what does this infinite yearning lead ? The soul looks “ out to the beyond ,” and from the shape…
…doesn’t realise that its work is done. Just as a retired grocer wakes up and thinks “ I must go and open the shop.” In Hindu phrase, the thought-stuff, painfully forced all these days into one channel, has acquired the habit [i.e., of flowing naturally in it.—BD.] I am Ekägrata— one-pointed. Just as if one arranges a siphon, one has to suck and suck for a while, and then when the balance in the two arms of the tube is attained, the fluid goes on softly and silently of its own act. Gravitation which was against us is now for us. So now the whole d…

In other systems of mysticism we must include all astral phantoms, divine or demonic, which are merely seen or heard without further reflection upon them. To obtain these it is sufficient to perform the following experiment: 60

Then he placed over his own eyes two empty shells of walnut, and pretended to play some childish game of hide-and-seek. After a few minutes, it was her turn to don the blinding apparel. But they were different from his, the empty shells he fixed under her eyebrows! Ljubov felt no pain, rather an exquisite sensation of physical dcen-étve, of wondrous l…

…LEPH VEL CXI 52 Aw De Harmonia Animæ cum Corpore (Of the Harmony of the Soul with the Body) LL Things are interwoven. The most spiritual Thought in thy Soul (I speak as a Fool) is also a most material Change in Blood or Brain. Anger maketh the Blood acid; Hate poisoneth Mothers milk; even as I showed formerly in reverse, how Disturbance of physical Function altereth the States of Consciousness. Now no Man doubteth the Power of the Will of Man, whether it be his love that begetteth Children or causes wars wherein many Men be slain, whether it b…
