…swoons back to night; The white and black are woven in gray, Faint sleep of silken light. A strange soft light about me shed Devours the sense of time: Hovers about my sleepy head Some sweet persistent rhyme. Beneath my breast my love may hear Deep murmur of the billows— O gather me to thee, my dear, On soft forgetful pillows ! O gather me in arms of love As maidens plucking posies, Or mists that fold about a dove, Or valleys full of roses ! O let me fade and fall away From waking into sleep, From sleep to death, from gold to gray, Deep as the …

[232] "Don't talk nonsense, Cyril!" she said, lazily, a little uncertain whether this unexpected apparition were not a dream. "Perfect sense, I assure you, my child. The trick is turned. We have caught our Butterfly!" "Yes, yes," she murmured; "but how did you know?" "Why, use your eyes!" he cried. "Use your br — I should say your sensory organs! Look!" He waved at the window, and Iliel idly followed with her eyes. There could be …
…e flame consuming ail that is not utterly God. Very soon he is aware that he cannot consciously contradict himself. He develops a subtle sense which warns him that two trains of thought which he had never conceived as connected are incompatible. Yet deeper drives “Do what thou wiit”$ subconscious oppositions are evoked to visible appearance. The secret sanctuaries of the soûl are cleansed. “Do What thou Wilt” purges his every part.

Ihe literal sense of His original Oath insists that it shall be respected. The case offers two instances of this principle. Frater Perdurabo specifically swore that He would renounce His Personal possessions to the last penny5 also that He would allow no human affection to hinder Elim. Ihese ternis were accepted; He was granted infinitely more than He had imagined possible to any incarnated Man. On the other hand, the pri…
…n concerning The Book of the Law. But is Aiwaz a man (presumably a Persian or Assyrian) and a "Secret Chief," or is He an 'angel' in the sense that Gabriel is an angel? Is Ab-ul-Diz an Adept who can project himself into the aura of some woman with whom I happen to be living, although she has no previous experience of the kind, or any interest in such matters at all? Or is He a being whose existence is altogether beyond this plane, only adopting human appearance and faculties in order to make Himself sensible and intelligible to that woman? I ha…

You took the thing that wouldn't fit out of its world of two into the world of three, put it back, and they all lived happy ever after! "The next thing is this. Everything that exists — everything material — has these three dimensions. These points and lines and surfaces have all a minute extension in some other dimension, or they would be merely things in our imagination. The surface of water, for inst…
…ane. It is instinctive not to let another person use one’s fishing rod or one’s gun. It is not that they could do any harm in a material sense. It is the feeling that one’s use of these things has consecrated them to one’s self. Of course, the outstanding example of ail such talismans is the wife. A wife may be defined as an object specially prepared for taking the stamp of one’s Creative will. This is an example of a very complicated magical operation, extending over centuries. But, theoretically, it is just an ordinary case of talismanic magi…
Chapter I i Verse 52 61 Our first consideration only adds to our sense of surprised repugnance. It becomes evident that one type of act is forbidden, with the penalty of falling altogether from the law of liberty to the code of crime; and our amazement and horror only increase as we recognize that this single gesture which is held damnable, is the natural exercise of the most fatidical function of nature, the innocent indulgence of irresistible impulse. We glance back to the previous verse—we examine our charter. We are permitted to take our fi…
… the maker of Disaster shall be stricken and grow still. Burn thou to the core of matter, to the spirit’s utmost flame, Consciousness and sense to shatter, ruin sight and form and name! Shatter, lake-reflected spectre ; lake, rise up in mist to sun ; Sun, dissolve in showers of nectar, and the Master’s work is done. Nectar perfume gently stealing, masterful and sweet and strong, Cleanse the world with light of healing in the ancient House of Wrong!

… the Universe is pureîy subjective. On the contrary, the Magical Theory accepts the absolute reality of ail things in the most objective sense. But ail perceptions are neither the observer nor the observed; they are repré¬ sentations of the relation between them. We cannot affirm any quality in an object as being independent of our sensorium, or as being in itself that which it seems to us. Nor can we assume that what we coenize is more than a partial phantom of its cause. We cannot even déterminé the meaning of such ideas as motion, or disting…
upon her. She had lived a lifetime in that period; and in a sense she had most surely died and been reborn. She felt like a little child. She wanted to climb on to everybody's knee, and be hugged! She had regained at a single [100] stroke the infant's faith in human nature; she looked at the universe as simply as a great artist does. (For in him too lives and rejoices the Eternal Babe). But her greatest surprise was in her physical health and energy. She had passed through a fierce and furious day, a night of infernal torture; yet she was unacc…

I here quote (with one or two elucidatory insertions) the note originally made by Me on this subject. May 14, 1919, 6:30 p.m. All elements must at one time have been separate—that would be the case with great heat. Now when the atoms get to the Sun, when we get to the Sun, we get that immense, extreme heat, and all the elements are themselves again. Imagine that each atom of each element possesses the m…
…e other hand, was He to hâve found a Guru who instructed Him in the proper principles of the technique of Yoga, and He, having suffirent sense to recognize the universal application of those principles, was able to some extent to repair His original defects. But even to this day, despite the fact this His original inclination is much stronger towards Magick than towards mysticism, he is much less competent in Magick.1 A trace of this can be seen even in His method of combining the two divisions of our science, for in that method He makes concen…
