…ese Writings thou mayst study to come to the true Comprehension of thine own Nature, and that of the whole Universe, in the Dimension of Time, even as the Mathematic declareth it in that of Space: That is, of Extension. Moreover, by this Study shall the Child com-prehend the Foundation of Manners: the which, as sayeth one of the Sons of Wisdom, maketh Man. m
…the holy illuminated Men of God of my acquaintance, I am the only one that holds this opinion. But I think that this Record, when I have time to go through it, and stand at some distance, to get the per— spective, will be proved a conclusive proof of my thesis. I think that every failure will be certainly traceable to my own dam foolishness; every little success to courage, skill, wit, tenacity. IfI had but a little more of these! I further take this opportunityof asserting my Atheism. I believe that all these phenomena are as explicable as the…
…ere in spite of himself, remembering afterwards scarcely a word of his speeches, some of which were long and seemingly eloquent. All the time he had a sense of being protected from Choronzon, and this sense of security prevented his knowing fear. Several times did the Scribe threaten to put a curse upon the demon; but ever, before he uttered the words of the curse, did the demon obey him. For himself, he knoweth not the words of the curse. Also is it meet to record in this place that the Scribe several times whistled in a Magical manner, which …

…et rid of the mud; but there are many impurities which defy everything but distillation and even some which must be fractionated unto 70 times 7. There is, however, a universal solvent and harmonizer, a certain dew which is so pure that a single drop ot it cast into the water of the Cup will for the time being bring all to perfection. This dew is called Love. Even as in the case of human love, the whole Universe appears perfect to the man who is under its control, so is it, and much more, with the Divine Love of which it is now spoken. For huma…

…r as the beginner is concerned. If the mantra is too long, one is apt to forget it, unless one practises very hard for a great length of time. On the other hand, mantras of a single syllable, such as Aumf are rather jerky; the rhythmical idea is lost. Here are a few useful mantras: ᾿See Part II. 2 However, in saying a mantra containing the word Azmz, one sometimes forgets the other words, and remains concentrated, repeating the ΑΜ]; at intervals; but this is the result of a practice already begun, not the beginning of a practice. .

…9 will disgust you with yourself. You will completely forget who you are, what you are, and what you are doing. A similar phenomenon sometimeshappens when one is half awake in the morning, and one cannot think what town one is living in. The similarity of these two things is rather significant. It suggests that what is really happening is that you are waking up from the sleep which men call waking, the sleep Whose dreams are life. There is another way to test one’s progress in this practice, and that is by the character of the breaks. Breaks are…

…is a collection of poems, a book of allegories and images. Adam and Eve are only the primitive types of humanity; the tempter serpent is time which tests; the Tree of Know- ledge is ‘right’; the expiation by toil is duty. Cain and Abel represent the flesh and the spirit, force and intelligence, violence and harmony. The giants are those who usurped the earth in ancient times; the flood was a great revolution. The ark is tradition preserved in a family: religion at this period becomes a mystery and the property of the race. Ham was cursed for ha…

…at event; and his subsequent life is merely the aftermath of that crisis. On the other hand, however, there is the circumstance that his time has been spent in three very distinct manners: the Secret Way of the Initiate, the Path of Poetry and Philosophy, and the Open Sea of Romance and Adventure. It is indeed not unusual to find the first two, or the last two, elements in the molecule of a man: Byron exemplifies this, and Poe that. But is is rare indeed for so strenuous and out-of-doors a life to be associated with such profound devotion to th…
…s which stand out as Light against an obsolescent and indeterminate background. And thus I carry on my daily life, using every moment of time in constant self-admonition to attend to Jupiter. The mind quickly responds to this training; it very soon automatically rejects as unreal anything which is not Jupiter. Everything else escapes notice. And when the time comes for the ceremony of invocation which I have been consistently preparing with all devotion and assiduity, I am quickly inflamed. I am attuned to Jupiter, I am pervaded by Jupiter, I a…

…probably later; for, invoking Adonai, he again got the beginnings of the Light, and the “telephone-cross" voices very strongly. But this time he was fortunately able to concentrate on Adonai with some fervour, and these things ceased to trouble. But the Perfume and the Vision came not, nor any full manifestation of the L.V.X., the Secret Light, the light that shineth in darkness. John St. John is again very sleepy. He will try and concentrate on Adonai without doing Pranayama——— much harder of course. It is a supreme effort to keep both eyes op…

…before this hour. 3. If a mantra is being chanted or the tom toms beaten, every one should join in by muttering, singing, or clapping in time with the leader. 4. If any particular deity is being invoked, his or her, nature should be studied beforehand and everyone should endeavour to make and keep his thoughts harmonious with that nature. 5. The deity chosen for this evening is Saturn. If any drug is being exhibited, it should be remembered that whatever results may occur will be to some extent vitiated by the drug and all results due to that d…
