…s such knows the futility of appealing to intelligence, indeed to any other qualities than those of brutes. And so, whenever we find one Man who has no fear like Ibsen's Doctor Stockmann or Mark Twain's Colonel Grainger that strolled out on his balcony with his shotgun to face the mob that had come to lynch him, he can get away with it. "An Enemy of the People" wrote Ibsen, "Ye are against the people, 0 my chosen!" says The Book of the Law. (AL, II: 25) Not only does it seem to me the only conceivable way of reconciling this and similar passage…

…absolute antithesis between the pairs of opposites. This is really a corollary of (1). There was an imaginary “absolute evil” which made Manichieanism necessary— despite the cloaks of the Casuists—and meant “That which leads one away from God.” But each man, while postulating an absolute “God” defined Him uncon sciously in terms of a Freudian Phantasm created by his own wish-fulfilment machinery. Thus “God” and “Evil” were really expressions of personal prejudice. A man

…over. The act was consummated ; gasping, heav- ing, and breathless ; they sink lower on the bed. Their tongues mingle lazily ; the elder man with- draws slowly ; a pleasant sound announces his exit. Hardly a moment and the boy gives his lover a sig- nal. The latter turns over while Ambrose rises and sits over him while the sweet salt offering, spiced now by the god to whom it is offered, trickles dain- tily into the open mouth of the languorous man. Then the boy slips down into his lovers arms : they share the incense with mingled mouths until…

THE NEW WINE 325 I trust that the explanation will enable many students who have hitherto , by a puerile objectivity in their view of the question, obtained no results, to succeed ; that the apology may impress upon our scornful men of science that the study of the bacillus , should give place to that of the baculum , the little to the great-how great , one only realises when one identifies the wand with the Mahalingam , up which Brahma flew at the rate of 84,000 yojanas a second for 84,000 mahakalpas , down which Vishnu flew at the rate of 84,…

…. Does that tell you my story? he asked impressively. Does that convey anything to your mind? Nothing at all. I knew it, said the man from the tropics. Then I must tell you all. In my veins boils the fiery blood of the greatest of the French warriors, and my mother was the lineal descendant of the Maid of Saragossa. Bevan was startled, and showed it. After the siege, sir, she was honourably married to a nobleman, snapped Duguesclin. Do you think a man of my ancestry will permit a stranger to lift the shadow of an eyebrow against the…

…t business. This is American Sunday journalism. The Hindu and the American are very much alike in this innocence, this "naivete" which demands fairy stories with ever bigger giants. They cannot bear the idea of anything being complete and done with. So, they are always talking in superlatives, and are hard put to it when the facts catch up with them, and they have to invent new superlatives. Instead of saying that there are bricks of various sizes, and specifying those sizes, they have a brick and a super-brick, and "one" brick, and "some" bric…

… The minimum of organization is desirable ; all artificial doctrinaire multiplication of works which produce no wealth is waste; and for many reasons (some absurd, like "social position") tend to create fresh unnecessary necessities . Ad infinitum, like the fleas in the epigram! When laws are reasonable in the eyes of the average man, he respects them, keeps them, does his best to maintain them ; therefore a minute Police Force , with powers strictly limited, is adequate to deal with the almost negligibly small criminal class. A convention is l…

Nu is also reflected in naus, “Ship,” etc., and that whole symbolism of Hollow Space which is familiar to all. There is also a question of identifying Nu with On, Noah, Oannes, Jonah, John, Dianus, Diana, and so on. But these identifications are all partial only, different facets of the Diamond …

A native had risen from the ground at the moment of the shot. My friend swore that he had not seen him, and I had not seen him myself until I heard him. There was no cover. It seems incredible that my friend at least should not have seen him, for he must have only just missed walking over him, the man being slightly behind our line when the shot was fired. And he was so close to the gun th…

…s that to which he must in the end come, because there is no compensating element in his idea of structure. But then (you ask) how can a man go so far wrong after he has, as an Adeptus Minor, attained the "Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel"? Recall the passage in the 14th Aethyr, "See where thine Angel hath led Thee," and so on. Perhaps the Black Brother deserts his Angel when he realises the Programme. Perhaps his error was so deeply rooted, from the very beginning, that it was his Evil Genius that he evoked. In such cases …

…rd collection of Point-Events chooses to think of itself as a Male; another, as a Female. It is totally absurd to think of Winnie as a woman, and Martin as a man. The quintessence of each is identical: "Every man and every woman is a star." It is only a superficial accident that has made one set determine to function in one particular incarnation as the one or the other. I say function; for there is no difference in the Quintessence. Yet, since it is with a Being in its present function that one has to deal, it needs must that one acts in pract…

56 existence by a single experiment. A young man is compelled by the monogamic system to develop his character by means of corrupt society vampires or women of the lower classes, and though he may learn a great deal from these sources, it cannot but be unfortunate that he has no opportunity to learn from women of his own birth, breeding, education and rank in society. Now, monogamy has very little to do with mongyny; and should have less. Monogamy is only a mistake because it leaves the excess women unsatisfied and unprovided for. But apart fro…
