This latter stands x12, which hath three Letters, symbolising thereby the Unmanifest Trinity. Now its letters further exemplify the Trinity, for that they are the initials of three Hebrew words, which are the Names of the Persons thereof, viz: wa Ben, the Son. nm Ruach, the Spirit (here the Mother). ax Ab, the Father.

All, as with the Qabalists, was based on Zero, all, save one thing, and this one thing saved the mind of man from the fearful palsy of doubt which had shaken to ruin his brave certainties, his audacious hopes and his invincible resolutions.

I am not extended, and Khabs is the name of my House. 3. In the sphere I am everywhere the centre, as she, the circumference, is nowhere found. 4. Yet she shall be known & I never. 5.

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

THE EQUINOX without limit, created spirits would lose themselves in the infinite, and from lack of the power to concentrate themselves somewhere, they would be dead and impotent everywhere, lost as they would be in the immensity of God. All created spirits have, then, bodies, some subtler, some grosser, according to the surroundings in which they are called to live. The soul of a dead man would, then, not be able to live in the atmosphere of the living, any more than we can live in earth or in water. For an airy, or rather an ethereal, spirit, …

THE EQUINOX 39. Thou hast fastened the fangs of Eternity in my soul, and the Poison of the Infinite hath consumed me utterly. 40. I am become like a luscious devil of Italy; a fair strong woman with worn cheeks, eaten out with hunger for kisses. She hath played the harlot in divers palaces; she hath given her body to the beasts. 41. She hath slain her kinsfolk with strong venom of toads; she hath been scourged with many rods. 42. She hath been broken in pieces upon the Wheel; the hands of the hangman have bound her unto it. 43. The fountains of…

THE EQUINOX “And a reproduction of this ink and paper for ever” i.e. by some mechanical process, with possibly a sample of paper similar to that employed. “for in it is the word secret and not only in the English—” Compare CCXX. III. 47. 73. The secret is still a secret to Us. “And thy comment upon this the Book of the Law shall be printed beautifully in red ink and black upon beau- tiful paper made by hand;” i.e. explain the text ‘lest there be folly’ as it says above, CCXX. I. 36. “And to each man and woman that thou meetest, were it but to d…

THE EQUINOX 10. Before the Soul can hear, the image (man) has to be- come as deaf to roarings as to whispers, to cries of bellowing elephants as to the silvery buzzing of the golden firefly. In the text the image is explained as ‘Man,’ but it more properly refers to the consciousness of man, which con- sciousness is considered as being a reflection of the Non- Ego, or a creation of the Ego, according to the school of philosophy to which the Student may belong. 11. Before the Soul can comprehend and may remember, she must unto the Silent Speaker…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX And this is followed by the chant of Vinaé (the Hindu lute). The fifth like sound of bamboo-flute shrills in thine ear. It changes next into a trumpet-blast. The last vibrates like the dull rumbling of a thunder-cloud. The seventh swallows all the other sounds. They die, and then are heard no more. The first four are comparatively easy to obtain, and many people can hear them at will. The last three are much rarer, not necessarily because they are more difficult to get, and indicate greater advance, but because the protective en- ve…

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX 89. On Sowan’s Path, O Srotapatti, thou art secure. Aye (), on that Marga, where nought but darkness meets the weary pilgrim, where torn by thorns the hands drip blood, the feet are cut by sharp, unyielding flints, and Mara wields his strongest arms—there lies a great reward imme- diately beyond. It is not at all clear to what stage of the Path this refers. In verse 91 it appears to refer to the Dhyana Path, but the Dhyana Path has been described in entirely different terms in verses 71 to 73, and it is certainly a quite bad descrip…
