The Equinox (Volume I, Number IV)

THE EQUINOX delicious dreams, I had not yet returned to the perfectly natural state. I now began to experience a law of hasheesh which developed its effects more and more through all future months of its use. With the progress of the hasheesh life, the effect of every successive indulgence grows more per- during until the hitherto isolated experiences become tangent to each other; then the links of the delirium intersect, and at last so blend that the chain has become a continuous band, now resting with joyous lightness as a chaplet, and now mi…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number V)

THE EQUINOX other manifest sign. And the servants of the master by his insight shall judge of these. 9. This Knowledge is not for all men; few indeed are called, but of these few many are chosen. 10. This is the nature of the Work. 11. First, there are many and diverse conditions of life upon this earth. In all 01 these is some seed of sorrow. Who can escape from sickness and from old age and from death ? 12᾿We are come to save our fellows from these things. For there is a life intense with knowledge and extreme bliss which is untouched by any …

The Equinox (Volume I, Number V)

THE EQUINOX II. I pour you lustral wine, that giveth you delight both at the sunset and the dawn. 12. Come with me, and I will give you allthat is desirable upon the earth. 13. Because I give you that of which Earth and its joys are but as shadows. 14.. They flee away, but my joy abideth even unto the end. 15. I have hidden myself beneath a mask: Iam a black and terrible God. 16. With courage conquering fear shall ye approach me: ye shall lay down your heads upon mine altar, expecting the sweep of the sword. 17. But the first kiss of love shall b…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number V)

THE EQUINOX “Of course." “ And she preferred to stay ? " " Of course." “ Here’s the Cirque, anyhow.” " We’ll hope for a clean fight.” The second round was just over as they took their seats. Sam Hall was solid and furious, looking an ounce or two overtrained; Joe Marie looked hardly human, his black skin gleaming, his arms so long as to seem almost disproportionate. He seemed apathetic; he reminded one of indiarubber. It was not till the sixth round that any warm exchanges took place. Then Ida sat up. Joe had sent a sharp upper cut to the Englis…

The Vision and the Voice

THE EQUINOX of truth, and all that power and beauty that they have made of themselves, is cast from them, as itis written, “ I saw Satan like lightning fall from Heaven.” And as a flaming sword is it dropt through the abyss, where the four beasts keep watch and ward. And it appeareth in the heaven of Jupiter as a morning star, or as an evening star. And the light thereof shineth even unto the earth, and bringeth hope and help to them that dwell in the darkness of thought, and drink of the poison of life. Fifty are the gates of understanding, an…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number VII)

THE EQUINOX of thought and action. There had been a very unpleasant scene when he threw into the firea book from Mudie’s (I thought one could have trusted Mudie’s !) called ‘The Stolen Bacillus,‘ which he understood to be of a grossly immoral tendency. (Nasty filth about free love or something, isn’t it?) Theodore Bugg was not a sensitive man; excess of intuitive sympathy had not made his life a hell; but he felt that his domestic relations were strained. Especially since “that Mrs. Grahame“ had evinced a liking for Gertrude. Her husband‘s colone…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX else in the world but helping humanity. She takes no no- tice whatever of the question of progress through other planets. Geocentricity is a very pathetic and amusingly childish characteristic of the older schools. They are always talking about the ten thousand worlds, but it is only a figure of speech. They do not believe in them as actual realities. It is one of the regular Oriental tricks to exaggerate all sorts of things in order to impress other people with one’s knowledge, and then to forget altogether to weld this particular …

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX bound by purely arbitrary rules. The most successful courtesans are those who have the most tricks in their bags. I will not argue that this complexity is better than the Way of the Tao. It is probably a perversion of taste, a spiritual caviar. But as the poet says: It may seem to you strange: The fact is—I like it! 81. For itis written: “Teach to eschew all causes; the rip- ple of effect, as the great tidal wave, thou shalt let run its course.” This verse apparently contradicts completely the long philippic against inaction, for th…
