…m- eaten flesh, every fat-fold of his obese person, yet his happiness was to be threatened, his faith in the Order of Things shaken, his whole soul thrown upon a novel and doubtful enterprise, and that at a moment when it might have been thought (go on, Hassan !) that Heaven itself had no more to offer him.

…Lord Landsend had just come back from Germany and he said you could buy it quite easily there, but nobody seemed to want to. Then is the whole German people in a silent con- spiracy to destroy us? I never took much stock in all those stories about the infernal cunning of the Hun. We heard a“lot about the underground traffic, though, and I think we ought to be able to get it pretty easily.. I don’ t know what’s the matter with us both. It made us a bit better to meet the old crowd, and we thought we'd celebrate.

While he’s asleep, his astral double comes up and does magic. I knew it was very dangerous to disturb any one’s astral double, so I tiptoed out of the room ; but the double followed me noiselessly. Every time I looked over my shoulder he was there, though he was very quick at dodging back round the corner or into a doorway. ... Peter has been very preoccupied for some time. He write…

…n the terrace of the Cafe de la Paix in our beloved Paris. However, conversation in such circum- stances is a lengthy affair. During the whole march to our work he only managed to say, Escape soonplease God. Before his crime he had been an atheist. I was indeed glad to find that punishment had brought repen- tance. Bevan himself was relieved. He had carefully re- frained from admitting the existence of a French Free- mason; that one should have repented filled him with a sense of almost personal triumph. He began to like Duguesclin, and to …

…uld only just command myself enough to make a formal apology of some sort. As a matter of fact, there was a very curious reaction in the whole party. The German Jew got up at once— nobody else stirred. Rage boiled in my heart. I understood instantly what had taken place. The intervention of Lamus had automatically divided the party into giants and dwarfs; and I was one of the dwarfs. }

172 The Diary of a Drug Fiend our Selves. Those Selves were one Self which was whole. Any positive expression of it was of necessity partial, incomplete, inadequate. The Stars are im- perfection of Night; but at least these thoughts are immeasurably faster and clearer than anything I have thought all my life. If I were ever to wake up—it seems impossible that I ever should—this entry will probably be quite un- intelligible to me. It is not written with the purpose of being intelligible or any other purpose. The idea of having a purpose at all i…

minutes and a half she continued to suck him with her whole force ; he reeled, fell, and expired. Zuleika was avenged. But for all her gallantry the Amir was adamant. Your engagement was to aver- age over fifty cocks an hour (he said) and you have failed ; the penalty is known to you. The unhappy woman groaned and acquiesced. The eunuchs stuffed a vast quantity of rice into her front and back paddy-fields, and with delicate enemata of boiling water caused it to swell. They stood away at the critical moment and with yell like ten thou- sand devi…

… of our lives was one, individual, and eternal, but each possessed its necessary and intimate relation with the other, and both with the whole universe. I was moreover aware that our terrific tragedy had been necessary, after all, to our attainment. ‘““Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.” Every step in evolution is accompanied by colossal catastrophe, as it seems when regarded as an isolated event, out of its context, as one may say. How fearful had been the price w…

…difference between them more than a quibble? Really, all these speculations are based on a priori considerations; we had better drop the whole argument as little better than a waste of time; nay, as worse, for it encourages one in loose thinking, and especially in clinging to names which have no counterpart in things. There is only one point of theory which matters to our practice. We may readily concur that the Augoeides, the "Genius" of Socrates, and the "Holy Guardian Angel" of Abramelin the Mage, are identical. But we cannot include this "H…

And science ignores it because it can’t be measured by mechanical instruments| The whole of the woman’s vitality was directed to some secret interior shrine of her own soul. Now she began to speak for the first time. The only subject that interested her in this wide universe was heroin. Her voice was monotonous. Lou told me later that it reminded her of a dirge droned by Tibetan monks far off across implacable snow. “It’s the only thing there is,” she said, in a tone of extraordinary ecstati…

…reference to the individual qualities of any one of them. 7. The formula is given by the Law of Thelema. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. This injunction, in one sense infinitely elastic, since it does not specify any particular goal of will as desirable, is yet infinitely rigid, in that it binds every man to follow out exactly the purpose for which he is fitted by here- dity, environment, experience, and self-development. The formula is thus also biologically indefeasible, as well as adequate, ethically to every individual, a…

The whole length of his lovers yard was en- gulfed in one great push, and, accustomed as he was to the Captains penis, he could hardly repress a cry of pain.

Quite unnecessarily, if one looks a little deeper. What do I mean when I say that I think I was Eliphaz Levi? No more than that I possess some of his most essential characteristics , and that some of the incidents in his life are remembered by me as my own.

…s no law beyond Do what thou wilt. Commentary: There are of course lesser laws than this, details, particular cases, of the Law. But the whole of the Law is Do what thou wilt, and there is no law beyond it. This subject is treated fully in Liber CXI Aleph, and the student should refer thereto. Far better, let him assume this Law to be the Universal Key to every problem of Life, and then apply it to one particular case after another. As he comes by degrees to understand it, he will be astounded at the simplification of the most obscure questions…

…clear enough that the nature of any separate existence must be imperfection. The Buddha impudently postulates "Mara" as the maker of the whole illusion, without attempting to assign a motive for his malice or a means by which he could gratify it. Incidentally, his "existence in itself" is the whole of the evil Mara, which is just as impertinent a postulate as any of the uncreated creators and uncaused causes of other religions. Buddhism does not destroy the philosophical dilemma. Buddha's statement that the fundamental error is ignorance is as …

The background of the whole card is the dark blue of the starry night of Nuit, from whose womb all phenomena are born. Taurus, the sign of the Zodiac represented by this card, is itself the Bull Kerub; that is, Earth in its strongest and most balanced form. The ruler of this sign is Venus; she is represented by the woman standing before the hierophant. Chapter III of the Book of the Law, verse xi, reads: “Let the woman be girt with a sword before me.” This woman represents Venus as she now is in this new aeon; no longer the mere vehicle of her …

INTRODUCTION 7 Letter C April 30, 1943 Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Thank you for your long letter of no date, but received two days ago. I am very sorry you are still feeling exhausted. I am not too good myself, for I find this weather very trying. I will answer your various points as best I can. I am arranging to send you the official papers connected with the O.T.O. but the idea that you should meet other members first is quite impossible. Even after affiliation, you would not meet anyone unless it were necess…
