…last Path which leads to the last Gate. 93. There Kleshais destroyed for ever, Tanhd@’s roots torn out. But stay, Disciple . . . Yet one word. Canst thou de- stroy divine COMPASSION? Compassion is no attribute. It is the Law of LAWS—eternal Harmony, Alaya’s SELF; a shoreless universal essence, the light of everlasting Right, and fitness of all things, the law of Love eternal. Here again is apparently a serious difficulty. The idea of Klesha, here identified with Love of worldly enjoyment, seems to put one back almost before the beginning. Is it…

…fe through love. He then, by conscious compréhension of them separatefy and together, becomes the “Angel” of his Angel, as Hermes is the Word of Zeus, whose own voice is Thunder. Thus in this section the adept utters articulately so far as words may, what his Angel is to Himself. He says this, with his Scin-Laeca wholly withdrawn into his physical body, con- straining His Angel to indwell his heart. Line 1. “I am He” asserts the destruction of the sense of separateness between self and Self. It affirms existence, but of the third person only. “…

…ned — The readings here are very various. We find ill-favoured, ill-mannered, infam- ous, ill-starred, ill-doing and so on. So I chose a word wide enough to include them all. 4. The Q’uran. Many Moslems know it by heart throughout. The interior riming of so many of the chapters makes this task curiously easy, even to a stranger. I found that I could readily master any of the shorter chapters in an hour or so, while the acquirement of a dozen stray words would last me the whole day. 5. This attempt to reconcile all-Power and all- Benevolence is …

…he suit " Hearts" in old packs of cards, and even in modern Spanish and Italian cards, is called " Cups ") is the letter Mem (the Hebrew word for water), which has for its Tarot trump the Hanged Man. This Hanged Man represents the Adept hanging by one heel from a gallows, which is in the shape of the letter Daleth — the letter of the Empress, the heavenly Venus in the Tarot. His legs form a cross, his arms a triangle, as if by his equilibrium and self-sacritice he were bringing the light down and establishing it even in the abyss. Elementary as…

…hieroglyphic language, to the exclusive affirmation of passion and diplomacy. It is the perverted and material translation of that great word of St. Augustine: ‘Love, and do what you will!” Compare now this sign with the doctrine of Mr. Madrolle: Ze most imperfect and the most apparently guilty act of love is worth more than the best of prayers. And you will ask yourself what is that force which, independently of the will, and of the greater or less knowledge of man (for Vintras is a man of no education), formulates its dogmas with signs buried…

… TWO PATHS be ranked among the herd that are in subjection to fate.” Even if the will be not free, it must be considered as free, or the word loses its meaning. There is, however, a much deeper teaching in this matter. 80. That Secret Path leads the Arhan to mental woe un- speakable; woe for the living Dead, and helpless pity for the men of Karmic sorrow; the fruit of Karma Sages dare not still, Mental woe unspeakable—Rats!

A pair of balances appears in the stone, and on the bar of the balance is written: Motion about a point is iniquity. And behind the balances is a plume, luminous, azure. And somehow connected with the plume, but I cannot divine how, are these words: Breath is iniquity. (That is, any wind must stir the feather of truth.) And behind the plume is a shining filament of quartz, suspended vertically from the abyss to the abyss. And in the midst is a winged disk of…

In the purple flashes of the lightning hath He written the word Eternity, and in the wings of the swallow hath He appointed rest. By three and by three and by three hath He made firm the foundation against the earthquake that is three. For in the number nine is the changefulness of the numbers brought to naught. For with whatsoever number thou wilt cover it, it appeareth unchanged. These things are spoken unto him that understandeth, that is a breastplate unto the ele…

…hese to its 1 power, he blended them like the skilled chemist that he was, he considered their ex- cellences and their limitations; in a word, he meditated pro- foundly upon the whole subject, and he concluded with the vision of a perfect society. He saw all men free, all men wealthy, all men respected; and he planted the seed of his Utopia by handing over his own house to the O.T.O., the organization which should operate his plan, under certain conditions. What he had foreseen occurred; he had possessed one house; by surren- dering it he becam…

Ye are all blinded by my glory; and though ye treasure in your heart the sacred word that is the last lever of the key to the little door beyond the abyss, yet ye gloss and comment thereupon; for the light itself is but illusion. Truth itself is but illusion. Yea, these be the great illusions beyond life and space and time. Let thy lips blister with my words! Are they not meteors in thy brain?
