…his may be fancy or a fact ; At least it squares with super-sense Or “spiritual experience.” You do not well to swell the list Of horrid things to me imputed By calling me “materialist.” At least this thought is better suited To Western minds than is embalmed Among the doctrines of Mohammed, The dogma parthenogenetic * As told me by a fat ascetic. He said : “Your worthy friends may lack you late, But learn how Mary was immaculate !” I sat in vague expectant bliss. The story as it runs is thus : (I quote my Eastern friend60 verbatim !)

…muse themselves with words, we should , I believe , soon come to an agree ment in this point . that the absolute existence of unthinking things are words without a meaning , or which include a contradiction .

…probable that the elements were but isomers of one element ; matter was seen to be but a modification of mind, or (at least) that the two things matter and mind must be joined before either could be perceived. All knowledge comes through the senses, on the one hand ; on the other, it is only through the senses that knowledge comes, We then continue our conquest of matter; and we are getting pretty expert. It took much longer to perfect the telescope than the motor-car. And though, of course, there are limitations, we know enough to be able to pr…

…reason or other she reminded me of a criminal awaiting sentence. Lamus stopped short in his stride and shook hands with me. — “Take your things off, and sit down, Sir Peter,’’ he said brusquely. His manner was completely different from anything I’d ever seen in him. He turned away and flung himself into a chair, searched in his pockets for an old black pipe, filled it and lit it. He seemed the prey of a peculiar agitation. That again was utterly unlike him. He cleared his throat and got up, with an entire change of behaviour. He offered me one …

… FOUR TENS These cards are attributed to Malkuth. Here is the end of all energy; it is away from the “formative world” altogether, where things are elastic. There is now no planetary attribution to consider. So far as the Sephira is concerned, it is right down in the world of Assiah. By the mere fact of having devised four elements, the current has derogated from the original perfec‐ tion. The Tens are a warning; see whither it leads‐to take the first wrong step! The Ten of Wands is called Oppression. This is what happens when one uses force, f…

We hear that he left Rangoon for Bhamo by the Irrawaddy steamer jam on the 15th. We can almost see him—lean, brown, stern and immobile, watching the wavelets of the great river, and the flying-fish, and the one thought: Why? He shut off his reflective faculties, for he saw that there was nothing to reason about. Phenomena were consecutive, but not causally connected.1 On the 18th he writes: ”About now I m…

… at all with regard to certain periods. My friend tells me that memory fails me in part because nature mercifully wishes to hide from us things which are painful. The spider-web of protective forget- fulness is woven over the mouth of the cave which conceals the raw head and bloody bones of our mis- fortunes. “ But the greatest men,” says King Lamus, “ are those that refuse to be treated like squalling children, who insist on facing reality in every form, and tear off ruthlessly the bandages from their own wounds.” But I have to think very hard…

Make that one idea your life; dream of it; think of it; live on that idea. Let the brain, the body, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.

…lle. Lenormand. This is a matter of little importance in this thesis. That magnetic light which causes the future to appear, also causes things at present existing, but hidden, to be guessed; as it is the universal life, it is also the agent of human sensibility, transmitting to some the sickness or the health of others, according to the fatal influence of contracts, or the laws of the will. It is that which explains the power of benedictions and of bewitchments so clearly recognized by the great adepts, and above all by the wonderful Paracelsu…
