…oglyphs, it represents the graduated extent of idea, and the progressive extension of form. “Tt is a triple tau upside down; it is human thought affirming the absolute in the three worlds; and that absolute ends here by a fork, that is to say, by the sign of doubt and antagonism. So that, if the first character means: ‘ There is no God,’ the rigorous signification of this one is : ‘ Hierarchical truth does not exist.’ 136

…d you now spend your time, I understand, in curious researches in occult science.” “Not precisely, but I am seeking the realization of a thought. . . . I have something to do.” “J do not suppose that this something can be an opera- tion of Black Magic. You know as well as I do, reverend sir, that the Church has always condemned, and still con- demns, severely, everything which relates to these forbidden practices.” A pale smile, imprinted with a sort of sarcastic irony, was all the answer that the Abbé gave, and the conversation fell to the gro…

…phy finds its founder in the French philosopher Descartes ; for it was he who started to unravel the Penelope web of tangled philosophic thought , which had lain sleeping for a thousand years or more upon the sterile shelf of Christian impotence . His theories of “ Innate ideas ” raised the anger of Locke , the disciple of Aristotle and Bacon . Revolting from the cogito ergo sum of Descartes , he compared the mind to a tabula rasa , on which he in his turn wrote an equal absurdity in the words : nihil est in intellectu quod non antea fuerit in …

…need for the bitter- ness of Shelley and Byron, the intense “ justification by sin ” doctrine of Swinburne. Perhaps we are wrong to have thought of Swinburne as having recanted ; it may be that he said to himself : “ Well, I’m sick of these dogs ! I will write simple lyrics and shut out the world ”. Still, the result is not good. Moreover we who are in the fore- front of the fight are annoyed with Achilles — and anyhow there is no excuse for such a Patroclus as Watts-Dunton ! Well, however that may be, here we are in the fight ; and if I am cal…

12 MAGICK WITHOUT .TEARS Letter E August 18, 1943 Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Much thought has gone into the construction of your Motto. "I will become" can be turned neatly enough as "Let there be" ; by avoiding the First Pronoun one gets the idea of "the absorption of the Self in the Beloved," which is exactly what you want. "The creative Force of the Universe" is quite ready-made. Pyramis,' a pyramid , is that force in its geometrical form ; in its biological form it is Phallus ,' the Yang or Lingam. Both wor…

I took, and take, his action for sheer human kindness. I probably behaved with my usual gaucherie. The presence of anyone whom I really respect always awakes my congenital shyness, always overawes me. Henley's famous poem (which Frank Harris regards as "the bombast of Antient Pistol") appealed intensely to my deepest feeling about man's place in the universe; that he is a Titan overwhelme…

… sense; for, as I have shown, the Atman is not infinite and eternal: one day it must sink down with the other forces. But by creating in thought an infinite Impersonal Personality, by defining it as such, all religions except the Buddhist, and as I believe, the Qabalistic, have sought to annihilate their own personality. The Buddhist aims directly at extinction; the Hindu denies and abolishes his own finity by the creation of an absolute, As this cannot be done in reality, the process is illusory, yet itis useful in the early stages—as far at a…
