…* Impermanent are the Tendencies—therefore do ye deliver yourselves by Strenuousness, Frater P. now saw more clearly than ever that this last charge of the Buddha was the one supremely important thing that he ever said. * Dhammapada, vy, 21. 141

…weet seer ! And you the hare I started. Shall I escape a tear, And you go broken-hearted ? VII Kiss me ! no one sees. Theregood-bye the last time ! Now, please ! Lucks ease is threes. What a kiss ! what a squeeze ! Dot the is ! cross the ts ! Half a days a vast time ! Tragedies, Comedies, Pantomime and pastime !
…ow, they multiply; The strong knight’s brain goes all a-swim, Paced by that maddening minstrelsy, Those dog-like demons hunting him. The last bar breaks; the steel will snaps ; The black hordes riot in his brain ; A thousand threatening thunder-claps Smite him—insane—insane—insane |! His muscles roar with senseless rage; The pale knight staggers, deathly sick; Reels to the light that sorry sage, Sir Palamede the Lunatick.
… sleep upon, I will do so. . . . Now I hope that I shall; surely the Reaction of Nature against the Magical Will must be wearing down at last! I wake. It takes me a little while to shake off the dominion of sleep, very intense and bitter. Thus John St. John—for it is not convenient further to speak as “I"——-performed 45 Breath-cycles; for 20 minutes he had to struggle against the Root of the Powers of Sleep, and the obstruction of his left nostril. During his Kambhakham he willed Adonai with all his might. Let him sleep, invoking Adonai! Well h…
…aithful so far to the customs of civilized man, who is never willing, I know not why, to mix himself up in the business of a suicide. At last a doctor turned dup who said that the child had been dead for several hours. When later on we had to unclothe him for burial the de- gree of rigor mortis was such that, despairing of bending the limbs, we were obliged to tear and cut the clothes to take them off him. The Commissary of Police, to whom natu- rally I had to report the incident, looked at me asquint, and said, This matter needs clearing up,…
…s not long ; ‘ Brothers we stood when they were not Ten thousand summers past . Brothers when they are clean forgot We shall outlive the last ; One shall die and one shall flee With terror in his train , And earth shall eat the stones , and we Shall be alone again .' 177
…out is THE WAY. Get out. For OUT is Love and Wisdom and Power. '? Get OUT. If thou hast T already, first get UT.1° Then get O. And so at last get OUT.
…ction. How else shalt thou master the Father, and answer the Fool at the Left Hand Gateway of the Crown? 1. Here are practices. Each may last for a week or more. a. Avoid lifting the left arm above the waist. 8. Avoid crossing the legs. Of thine own ingenium devise others. 2. On each occasion that thou art betrayed into doing that thou art sworn to avoid, cut thyself sharply upon the wrist or forearm with a razor; even as thou shouldst beat a disobedient dog. Feareth not the Horse the teeth of the Camel? 3. Thine arm then serveth thee both for …

…ere is the Transfiguration of Glory, and there is the Jewel in the Lotus-flower; yea, also is many other whereof I am Partaker. But this last Passion, that my Lady Olun hath brought unto me upon this last Day of the Winter of the thirteenth Year of the Æon, even as I wrote these Words unto thee, is a Mystery of Mysteries beyond all these. Oh my son, thou knowest well the Perils and the Profit of our Path; continue thou therein. Olun! MARIE! BABALON! Adsum. m
… which some call prayer and some call meditation. (The former four may turn out on examination to be merely conditions favourable to the last.) On investigating what is meant by these two things, we find that they are only one. For what is the state of either prayer or meditation? It is the restraining of the mind to a single act, state, or thought. If we sit down quietly and investigate the contents of our minds, we shall find that even at the best 05 times the principal characteristics are wandering and distraction. Any one who has had anything…
61 Power and Authority Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Thanks very much for your last letter. I expected no less. As soon as anybody gets into a position of authority, even on a very small scale, their troubles begin on a very large one. Imagine, if you can what I have been through in the last quarter of a century or more. My subordinates are always asking me for advancement in the Order ; they think that if they were only members of the 266th degree everything in the garden would be lovely. They think that if they …
…d with whispers, Grey with huddled rocks, and a space of wood- land, Pine-tree and poplar. Now a stream to ford and a stile to clamber ; Last the inn, a book, and a quiet corner . . . Fresh as Spring, there kisses me on the forehead Sleep, like a sister. CHISWICK PRESS :—CHARLES WHITTINGHAM AND CO. TOOKS COURT, CHANCERY LANE, LONDON
… . . . And I invoked my Lord and recited the Book Ararita at the Altar . . . This holy inspired book (delivered unto me in the winter of last year) was now at last understanded of me; for it is, though I knew it not, a complete scheme of this Operation. For this cause I will add this book Ararita at the end of the Manuscript. [This has not been permitted. The Book Ararita will be issued by the Α.“. Α:. in due course—En] I also demanded of mine Angel the Writing upon the Lamen of Silver; 21 Writing of the veritable Elixir and supernal Dew. And i…
…, it is only the delicate tremor and rustle of things growing, of the grass seed pushing its tiny way through the mould, to break at the last into its narrow slip of bright green flame. This, and the weak whisper of trailing rose-roots in whose brown and ugly stems glow such a tender sap and noiseless fervour of exqui- site perfume. At intervals, maybe, this dark blue silence is wounded by strange creakings and indescribable tremors: noises that are really the wastings and settlings of decaying bone and flesh, just as if Death were feasting his…

… women fleet : Whose empty fruitlessness assails the night With hollow repercussion , like dim tombs Wherein some vampire glooms .3 This last line is one of the most expressive ever written by Crowley , and in the last word " glooms " is concentrated more than terror or fear , a brooding unnameable horror , comparable to the word " crowd " that Blake makes use of in his “ Mad Song ”: Like a fiend in a cloud With howling woe After night I do crowd And with night will go . 1 Mysteries : Lyrical and Dramatic , vol . i, pp . 106 , 107 . 2 The Tale …
…arnate immediately again and again. By "immediately" is meant about 6 months before the birth of the new Adept, about 3 months after his last death . It depends to some extent, no doubt, on whether he can find a suitable vehicle. Presumably, he will make some sort of preparation while still alive. It seems that I personally must have taken this Oath quite a long while ago; for the Incarnations which I actually remember leave very few gaps to be filled in the last dozen centuries or so. Now, dear sister, I don't like this letter at all, and I am…
…ears. The cruel sea its final billow rears And I must pass to seek an unknown sky ; We dare not see each other’s face for tears, And the last kisses—Did we only die ! Love ! Ah ! One kiss ! One kiss ! One kiss ! Good-by, Good-by ! 54
