…he did himself . Having devised religion , he by degrees fell into such excesses of worship , that religion bid well to exter minate his whole wretched race ; thereupon he dis closed science , which , when it has destroyed his former hobby , will in its turn run riot over all , till it also becomes such a pest , that it too , will have to give way to something better . Never contented , man ultimately finds that his double collection of manna rots . What the end will be no one knows , and few care ; that we shall ever reach a state verging on p…

…leep, and his mind is still; he seems like a well in the desert, shaded by windless palms. And it is night; and because the night is the whole night of space, and not the partial night of earth, there is no thought of dawn. For the light of the Sun maketh illusion, blinding man’s eyes to the glory of the stars. And unless he be in the shadow of the earth, he cannot see the stars. So, also, unless he be hidden from the light of life, he cannot behold Nuit. Here, then, do I abide in unalterable midnight, utterly at peace. I have forgotten where I…

…2th Invocation of Holy Guar- dian Angel. All this meant a great deal of work and trouble, and much new experience gained, but was on the whole a failure, though a Step on the Path. During this retirement he cut a Wand, as a Symbol not of his will but of the Will of Adonai in him. It would be hardly right to say that this Magical Retirement produced no results, though it may not have produced the One Desired Result. By the time a man has made 671 entries in his Magical Record (as Frater V.1.O. did during those six weeks) and each of those entrie…

…made excuses for a momentary disappearance. By George, how we did want it! Five minutes later we were almost ourselves again. We saw the whole thing as an enormous lark, and communicated our high spirits to our companion. He attributed them, no doubt, to our prospects of getting out of the scrape. Lou rattled on all the way about life in London, and I told the story—bar the snow part—of our elope- ment. He thawed out completely. Our confidence had reassured him. We shook hands amid all-round genial laughter

… close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The word of Sin is restriction. Thou hast no right but do thy will. Do that and no other shall say nay. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect. There are four gates to one palace : the floor of that palace is of silver and gold ; lapis lazuli and jasper are there ; and all rare scents ; jasmine and rose, and the emblems of death. Let him …

I was very glad to have your letter, and am very sorry to hear that you have been in affliction. About the delay, however, I think I ought to tell you that the original rule of the Order of A :. A :. was that the introducer read over a short lection to the applicant, then left him alone for a (.uarter of an hour, and on coming back received a "yes" or "no."

… flames of hell itself, I doubt whether I should have been warm. Night after night I sat, all through, rigid as a corpse, and icier; the whole of my life concentrated in two spots; the small section of my brain which was occupied in the work, and my right wrist and fingers. I remember with absolute clearness that my consciousness appeared to start form a perfectly dead forearm. The book is written in prose, yet there is a formal circumscription more imminent than anything which would have been possible in poetry. I limited myself by making a po…

The "divides" or watersheds between these three rivers during their dramatic parallelism must evidently be mountains of the most interesting type. I wanted to visit a corner of the earth which appealed thus vividly to my imagination. Incidentally, there were practical difficulties. I had at this time no notion that everybody was a perfect …

But through it one perceives the lion, which has become as a raging flame. And he roareth in an unknown tongue. But this is the interpretation thereof: Let the stars be burnt up in the fire of my nostrils!

Now let him not only fill his whole being to the uttermost with the force of the Names; but let him formulate his Will, understood thoroughly as the dynamic aspect of his Creative Self, in an appearance symbolically apt, I say not in the form of a Ray of Light, of a Fiery Sword, or of aught save that bodily Vehicle of the Holy Ghost which is sacred to BAPHOMET, by its virtue that con- cealeth the Lion and the Serpent that His Image may app…

… this Atman (or Brahman), this limit-destroying Universe, is itself abolished and annihilated. (And, with its occurrence, smash goes the whole of the Advaitist theory!) It is a commonplace to say that no words can describe this fmal destruction. Such is the fact; and there is nothing one can do about it but put it down boldly as I have done above. It does not matter to our present purpose; all that we need to know is that the strongest prop of the Monist structure has broken off short. Moreover, is it really adequate to postulate an origin of t…

Of course the mountain variety is not a Southdown. It probably does not weigh more than the average four months lamb in Sussex. But even so Wessely's exploit is pretty good. {300} On my own arrival at Rodkass, I mad rather a beast of myself.

His skin was a tough as rawhide, the epidermis a quarter of an inch thick. The thorn had not reached the dermis. It seemed miraculous that it should have penetrated a hide that came near to turn the edge of my surgical knife. The heaviest weapon and the truest eye and hand may sometimes fail to account for the smallest of God's creatures. I could not u…
