He stared, fascinated as bya basilisk, his eyes starting further and further from his head as his moral sense dragged his body backwards along the Rue de Rivoli. By this means he cannoned into a worthy Frenchman (who refused to take him seriously) and so was shocked into himself. He pulled out his watch.

The table-turners, and those who make the spirits speak with alphabetical charts, are, then, a good many centuries behind the times; they do not know that there exists an oracular instrument whose words are always clear and always accurate, by means of which one can communicate with the seven genii of the planets, and make to speak at will the seventy-two wheels of Assiah, of Yetzirah, and of Briah. For that purpose it is sufficient to understand the system of universal analogies, such as Swedenborg has…

…e an eternal Death ? Ah ! Saviour, deliver us from the misery of our lot ; lead us to the realms of eternal Rest , where rich and poor , good and bad , are made one , lost in the depths of the Lethean sea. And what can all this lead us to , this progress through misery ? To the great archetype the Arahat ship of Buddha . It was by gazing on the sunken eyes of a corpse , so the legend runs , that Gautama forsook pleasure for a life of pity . Life is feodal to Death , and our ultimate sleep is greater than our first awakening . The womb was dark …

Despair and die, Hell cries to us in every word and movement, even in all the friendly acts and caresses of imperfect or degraded beings. Whatever the reputation of any one may be, and what- ever may be the testimonies of friendship that that person may give you, if, on leaving him, you feel yourself less well disposed and weaker, he is pernicious for you: avoid him. Our double magnetism produces i…

The fools having devised God with jam for the good in heaven , were not long in devising Satan with a pickled birch for the naughty in hell . Those who were not fools and who found their bread un palatably dry , found that butter could be supplied free of cost by literally doing nothing . Any one familiar with a native city in India is aware of the vast hordes of indolent fakirs who practically do nothing except stand still and gaze vacantly into the clou…

For, all things and no-things are absurd save “I,” who am Soul and Body, Good and Evil, Sorrow and Joy, Change and Equilibrium; who in the temple of Adonai, am beyond all these, and by the fire side in my study—Mr. X, one with each and all. Thus it came about that the study of Buddhism caused Frater P. to abandon the tinsel of the Vedanta as well as its own cherished baubles, and induced him, more than ever, to rely on Work and Work alone and not on philosophizing, moralizing and r…

The woodcutter joined her, shook his head, said “ far " and " to-morrow," and pointed to a heap of straw.

…“‘for lunch to-day.” The remark was received with a hilarity which seemed positively indecent, and altogether out of pro- portion to the good news announced. The whole Abbey seemed to have gone wild with delight. Following the example of the Big Lion, every one pointed a forefinger downwards to the left, swung it sharply across to the right. This gesture was repeated three times and accompanied by the words :— “ Evoe Ho! Evoe Ho!
