…mulative effect of which we spoke. It is very hard to persist, because very often we seem to make no progress. There is the water on the fire, and nothing whatever appears to be happening. But with- out warning it suddenly boils. You may get the tempera- ture to 99° and keep it at 99° for a thousand years, and the water will not boil. It is the last step that does the trick. One remark in this connection may be useful: “A watched pot never boils.” The student must practise complete de- tachment—must reach the stage when he does not care two- pe…

Lo! it ascendeth and descendeth, even And swift, an endless band of earth and heaven; Thus it receiveth might of duplex Love, The powers below conjoined with those above, So shall the glory of the world be thine And darkness flee before thy SOVRAN shrine.

Winged was he with the wings of gold that are the Wind itself; his sword of green fire flamed in his right hand, and in his left he held the blue feather of Justice, unstirred by the wind of his flight, or the upheaval of the universe. But after fiveand sixty centuries of toil, though illumined with intelligence almost divine, he had to confess himself defeated. 204

In point of fact, gallant little Germany is against a world in arms. Austria has been torn for many years by internal divisions; only a part of her population is of German stock. But against Germany and this one friend are arrayed Russia, France, England, Servia, Montene- gro, and Japan; and every one of these nations is throw- ing its whole diplomatic weight into the task of getting Roumania, Bulga…

…ou art safe. In these three verses the passage to the sixth Gate is made clear. There is no longer any struggle, there is but the golden fire within the alabaster vase, and thou art that vase. Male and female are again interchanged. Above Chiah and Neshamah is Yechidah, and in the lower aspect of that, one has again become the receptacle of the Infinite, not that which penetrates.the Infinite.

Whether this be so or not, the power is not one to be aimed at. 3. Success in “banishing” is known by a “feeling of cleanliness” in the atmosphère ; success in “invoking” bv a “feeling of holiness”. It is unfortunate that these terms are so vague. But at least make sure of this 5 that any imaginary figure or being shall instantly obey the will of the student, when he uses the appropriate f…

… symbolism, but the general idea is that the earthly or receptive part of the Master is destroyed. That which remains has passed through fire; and is therefore, in a sense, of the nature of fire. The Urn is engraved with a word or symbol expressive of the nature of the being whose ash is therein. The Magus is thus, of course, not a person in any ordinary sense; he represents a certain nature or idea. To put it otherwise, we may say, the Magus is a word. He is the Logos of the Aeon which he brings to pass1. The above is obscure. I perceived and …

…e impious man is he who absorbs others. The pious man is he who loses himself in humanity If the heart of man concentrate in himself the fire with which God animates it, it is a hell which devours all, and fills itself only with ashes ; if he radiates it without, it becomes a tender sun of love. Man owes himself to his family; his family owes itself to the fatherland; and the fatherland to humanity. The egoism of man merits isolation and despair ; that of the family, ruin and exile ; that of the fatherland, war and invasion. The man who isolate…
