…no less today, but alas that he cannot be hurt by the hard things I happen to say. Any alteration of my pamphlet would destroy the whole spirit of the spasm, the venomous virulence of my vituperation is the essay. I showed the manuscript to poor Tommy Earp who might have been a poet if he had not been a plutocrat. He said that "The Last Straw" was the limit in its line and my judgment jumps with his. Any considered statement, any documented plea, would lack the note of intensity and genuineness which my careless spontaneity and impulsive indign…

No light that shines from Spirit can dispel the darkness of the nether Soul unless all selfish thought has fled therefrom, and that the pil- grim saith: “I have renounced all this passing frame: I have destroyed the cause: the shadows cast can, as effects, no longer be.” For now the last great fight, the final war be- tween the Higher and the Lower Self, hath taken place.

Thrown by the laws of Nature into the womb of a woman, the incarnated spirit very slowly wakes, and creates for itself with effort organs which will later be indispensable, but which as they grow increase its discomfort in its present situation. The happiest period of the life of the embryo is that when, like a chrysalis, it spreads around it the membrane which serves it for refuge, and which swims with it in a nourishing and pre- serving fluid. At that time it is free, and does…

… Sadistic fancy—until he feels uncomfortable. But to the man who is already as uneasy as St. Lawrence on his silver grill, who feels the Spirit stir in him, even as a woman feels, and sickens at, the first leap of the babe in her womb, to him I bring the splendid vision, the perfume and the glory, the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel. And to whosoever hath attained that height will I put a further Question, announce a further Glory. 133

…ortance. He spoke almost without courtesy, and appeared to resent our incapacity to understand his language. As for myself, the fighting spirit had gone out of me completely. All I could do was to give our names in the tone of voice of a schoolboy who has been summoned by the head master, and to appeal for the “ Consule Inglese.”’ The commissary’s clerk seemed excited when he heard who we were, and spoke to his superior in a rapid undertone. We were asked to write our names. I thought this was getting out of it rather nicely.

…on our road to Crowleyanity . Having left Berkeley in the dark , feeling on the dusty shelves of his reason for a flint and steel in the spirituality of God , whereby he may burn in twain the gordian knot into which he has tangled his under standing ; we now find Hume , in a similar manner , groping for the handle of some bricked-up door, which will lead him forth from the depths of that same night in which Berkeley has already lost his way . When Hume states : “ he feels events to be con nected in his imagination ”; he is only reiterating the …

…a land of purely linguistic hieroglyphics —and thence silence. The task of consciously classifying and interpreting the phenomena in the Spirit Vision (in contradistinction to optical vision) is one of the chief duties undertaken by the Adeptus Minor, that is to say, of an individual who has passed through the grade of 5°=6°. P. had not as yet accomplished this. And in another part of the manuscript already referred to it is 320
