…blems arise in the course of the training. The whole question of the sub-conscious mind can be dismissed almost as a joke by the average man as he goes about his daily business; it becomes a very real trouble when you discover that the tranquillity of the mind is being disturbed by a type of thought whose existence had previously been unsuspected, and whose source is unimaginable. Then again there is no perfection of materials; there will always be errors and weaknesses, and the man who wins through is the man who manages to carry on with a def…

…HE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING one we possess irrespective of our not being able to under- stand it. We have a soul, a veritable living Atman, irrespect- ive of all codes, sciences, theories, sects and laws. What then is this Atman, and how can we understand it, that is to say, see it solely, or identify all with it? The necessity of doing this is pointed out in Chandogya, 8. 1. 6. He who departs from this world without having known the soul or those true desires, his part in all worlds is a life of constraint; but he who departs from this world…

…il with a view to discovering why (unless from caprice) el Haji chose this particular indulgence to mirror that supreme passion of the human heart, the craving for unity with the All-One. “ Make room for me ” quoth the poet of Salaman and Absal, “ on that divan which is only large enough for one ! ” Now I shall waste my rime if I prove that some- thing in the nature of sexual intercourse is the most fitting image of that passion ; for our Chris- tian theologian, anxious to avoid the reproach of the scoffer who quotes such passages as “ Me be- l…

Edward VII spoke English with an accent; and at the first hour of war with Germany we found the first Lord of the Admiralty a German Prince! Until this year England has never been at war with Germany in the course of history since the Conquest. Our very speech, half German, betrayeth us. All this is finished. The German is a Hun, and a Vandal, and a monster, and a woman-torturer, and a child-murderer, and runs away in his millions at the sight of a Territorial from Hoxton. And the British Army has won victory after victory against enormous odds…

…t much either. Of course, I know now what it was—that much-derided phenomenon, love at first sight. Suddenly we were interrupted. A tall man was shaking hands across the table with Owen. Instead of using any of the ordinary greetings, he said in a very low, clear voice, very clear and vibrant, as though tense with some inscrutable passion :— “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.” There was an uneasy movement in the group. In particular, the German woman seemed distressed by the man’s mere presence. I looked up. Yes, I could understa…

… Fritto 12I _ We said nothing to each other about this. It was, ‘in fact, deeper and darker than could be conveyed by articulate speech. Man differs from the lower animals indeed, first of all, in this matter of language. The use of language compels one to measure one’s thoughts. That is why the great philosophers and mystics, who are dealing with ideas that cannot be expressed in such terms, are constantly compelled to use negative adjectives, or to rebuke the mind by formulating their thoughts in a series of contradictory statements. That is …

…ly duplicate; Rodin was being attacked for his stature of Balzac. I was introduced to Rodin and at once fell in love with the superb old man and his colossal work. I still think his Balzac the most interesting and important thing he did. It was a new idea in sculpture. Before Rodin there had been certain attempts to convey spiritual truth by plastic methods; but they were always limited by the supposed necessity of "representing" what people call "nature". The soul was to be the servant of the eye. One could only suggest the relations of a grea…

… who have come to worship that supreme God, who is the single end of all those diverse religions. But the shrine itself is higher than a man may reach. But the Angel that was with me lifted me, and I saw that the edge of the altar, as I must call it, was surrounded by holy men. Each has in his right hand a weapon—one a sword, one a spear, one a thunderbolt, and so on, but each with his left hand gives the sign of silence. I wish to see what is within their ring. One of them bends forward so that I may whisper the pass-word. The Angel prompts me…

…which the impolitic annexation of Alsace-Lorraine had thrust upon his shoulders, he could do no less with- out offering the breast of Germany to the ravisher. A lamb to the slaughter, indeed, with La Revanche in every mouth! What would he do, with men yet alive who remembered Jena, and the ceaseless raids and rav- ages of Bonaparte? But in a hundred crises he kept his head; he kept the peace. He had plenty of chances to smash France forever; he did not take them. An ambitious prince might have put a relative on the throne of Louis XIV while Fra…

…tuck in my mind. It kept on irritating me all the afternoon. People like that ought to be kicked out once and for all. Why, hang it, the man was all kinds of a scoundrel. Every one said so. Why did he want to butt in? Nobody asked him to meddle. I said something of the sort to Lou, and she told him off very wittily. “You've saidit, Cockie,” she cried. ‘‘ He’s a meddler, and his nature is to be rotten before he’s ripe.” I remembered something of.the sort in Shakespeare.

…A DISTANCE THE Countess Mottich was far more famous than most Prime Ministers or Imperial Chancellors. For, to the great bewilderment of many alleged men of science, she had the power of small objects to move without apparent physical contact. Her first experiments had been with a purblind old person named Oudouwitz, who was in love with her in his senile way. Few people swallowed the published results of his experiiments with her. If convinced they would have been very much startled. For she was supposed to be able to stop clocks at will, to o…
