THE EQUINOX the double magnetization of it to the human body. The soul, by acting on this light through its volitions, can dissolve it or coagulate it, project it or withdraw it. It is the mirror of the imagination and of dreams. It reacts upon the nervous system, and thus produces the movements of the body. This light can dilate itself indefinitely, and communicate its reflec- tions at considerable distances; it magnetizes the bodies submitted to the action of man, and can, by concentrating itself, again draw them to him. It can take all the f…

THE EQUINOX always imply a state analogous to somnambulism. But in a contrary sense; somnambulism is slumber borrowing its phenomena from waking; hallucination is waking still partially subjected to the astral intoxication of slumber. Our fluidic bodies attract and repulse each other following laws similar to those of electricity. It is this which produces instinctive sympathies and antipathies. They thus equilibrate each other, and for this reason hallucinations are often con- tagious; abnormal projections change the luminous currents ; the pe…

THE EQUINOX 10. But she stirred not; only by my kisses I defiled her so that she turned to blackness before me. 11. Yet I worshipped her, and gave her of the flower of my youth. 12. Also it came to pass, that thereby she sickened, and corrupted before me. Almost I cast myself into the stream. 13. Then at the end appointed her body was whiter than the milk of the stars, and her lips red and warm as the sunset, and her life of a white heat like the heat of the midmost sun. 14. Then rose she up from the abyss of Ages of Sleep, and her body embrace…

THE EQUINOX great tact and courtesy are to be employed in dealing with them. 17. They, on their part, will render willing and intelligent service. 18. While in Lodge, and on special occasions, they are to be treated as Brothers, with perfect equality; such beha- viour is undesirable during the hours of service, and famili- arity, subversive as it is of all discipline and order, is to be avoided by adopting a complete and marked change of man- ner and address. 19. This applies to all persons in subordinate positions, but not to the Brethren Serv…

THE EQUINOX form of Samadhi was at his fingers’ ends, had none. The point is very important, because on this theory the latter, after all his attainments, might pass through all the Dhyana- Lokas and through the Arupa-Brahma-Lokas, exhaust that Karma, be re-incarnated as a Spirochzetes Pallida, and have to begin all over again. And the most virtuous Bhikkhu might be so unfortunate as to fall from Virtue the millionth part of a second before his point on the circumference of the sphere was going to touch that of the wheel of Nibbana, regain it t…

THE EQUINOX while at the same time his air of hopelessness is intensely funny—to the Guru. So we find in this verse that the final result, or something very like it, is given as a qualification antecedent to the starting point; as if one told a blind man that he must be able to see through a brick wall before re- gaining his eyesight. 16. Thou shalt not let thy senses make a playground of thy mind. Following on the tremendous task of verse 15 comes the obvious elementary piece of instruction which one gives to a beginner. The best way out of th…

Lunch, 3 Garibaldis and 3 Gaufrettes. Wrote two letters. Going out walk with mantra. This walk was in a way rather a success. I got the good mantra effects, e.g., the brain taking it up of its own accord ; also the distaste for everythingbut Adonai became stronger an…

1.35. 1.58. 7.35. 64 THE EQUINOX anywhere else; I think because the main thoroughfares radiate from stars, and so the angles puzzle one. The power, too, suits ill with civilised life; it fades as I live in towns, revives as I get back to God’s good earth. A seven-foot tent and the starlight—who wants more ? Well, I’ve woke myself writing this. The point that really struck me was this: what would happen if by severe training I forced my “astral body "—damn it! isn’t there a term for it free from L. . . . -pro- stitution? (One speaks of “les deux…

The Reading of the Ritual has done much service, though things are still far from calm. Yet the mighty flood of the Chittam is again rolling its tremendous tide toward the sea—the Sea of annihilation. Amen. Returning home, with his eyes fixed on the supreme glory of the Moon, in his heart and brain invoking Adonai, he hath now entered into his little chamber, and will prepare all thi…

THE EQUINOX disturbing thoughts which analyse the very process itself. Harder to destroy are they than the others, since they come no longer from memory or physical conditions, but from the practice itself, so that they cannot be shut off, but must needs be faced and conquered directly. In the mystic world, we come to those strange meta- physical ecstasies which (I am convinced) lie behind many philosophical dogmas. St. Athanasius had probably experienced something of this type when he penned his insane creed. So the Hindus with their attempts …

THE EQUINOX “ Suppliants.” As a matter of fact they were asking me for some favour. At the sight of real tears rolling down the faces of these two most lovable creatures, so handsome and graceful, so perfect in all their proportions, my pity was set in motion ; and soon love was to follow, thought I. Though of a slightly dark complexion, they were none the less remarkably pretty, and very near the finest type of white womanhood. Alas! their beauty was a trap, their sweet voices were meant to delude me; the sirens had been sent by those who coul…

THE EQUINOX to follow. It is no use “looking wise” when there is an Abramelin demon gnawing you below the belt, or burbling about the Sanctuary when the Goat of Mendes is threatening you with a 70 h.p. six cylinder, four-speed, gnarled clyster. All night Waite stayed, and begged; it was in vain. The Master was not to be moved from a resolution both wise and kind. He, however, promised to acknowledge Waite openly as his disciple on condition of good behaviour for the future. It is with pleasure indeed that we record that Waite’s lapses have been…
