…Material to the Spiritual.” Kerux: “Anubis the Guardian spake unto the Aspirant, saying: ‘Let us enter into the Presence of the Lords of Truth.’ Arise and follow me.” * It will be noticed that from here this ritual becomes unnecessarily complicated with Egyptian deities—in fact, its mysteries become rather “forced.” Still more so 266
…h, the sea, the witchery Of all the universe : my breast I bared And cursed God, hoping lightning; and I dared Not ask my love ‘‘In very truth—you |" die !” I could not bear it longer; then she spake: ‘“‘T lied indeed, love, for mine honour’s sake,” And I reproached her for her love’s dis- | trust, - Saying ‘‘I would not so in any wise Have lowered love unto the level of lust But now—” I hid my thought in tears and sighs.

… falter not, and smite Those lampless limits most abhorred Of iron night, And pass beyond their horror to attack Fresh foemen, light and truth to bring Through their untrodden fields of black, A victor king. I know all must be well, all must be free; I know God: as I knowa friend ; I conquer, and most silently Await the end. VESPERS. THE incense steams before the Christ ; It wraps His feet with grey, A perfumed melancholy mist, Tears sacred from the day ; An awe, a holiness, I wist, More sweet than man may say.

…ith his teeth, and lap the blood with his tongue. Arthwait shrieked out in terror that the Turk had gone mad: but Vesquit understood the truth. Abdul was the most sensitive of the party, and the least developed; it was in him that the spirit of Gates, demon-inspired, would manifest. A few minutes of that scene, and then the Turk sat up. His face expressed the most extreme pleasure. It was the release of a soul from agony that showed itself. But he must have known that his time was short, for he spoke rapidly and earnestly, with febrile energy. …

…or Union with God, or Spiritual Development, or Mahatmaship, or Freedom, or Occult Knowledge, or whatever he may call his inmost need of Truth, of our Order of Av. A. It is designed principally to awake interest in the possibilities of human progress, and to proclaim the principles of the A-. A.. The outline given of the several successive steps is exact; the two crises—the Angel and the Abyss—are necessary features in every career. The other tasks are not always accomplished in the order given here; one man, for example, may acquire many of th…
…s this? Listen, and hear! I find myself confronted with the crux: that a Buddhist, convinced intellectually and philo- sophically of the truth of the teaching of Gotama; a man to whom Buddhism is the equivalent of scientific methods of Thought; an expert in dialectic whose logical faculty is bewildered, whose critical admiration is ex- torted by the subtle vigour of Buddhist reason- ing; I am yet forced to admit that, this being so, the Five Precepts‡ are mere nonsense. If the Buddha spoke scientifically, not popularly, not rhetorically, then h…

Therefore we hold Love holy, our heart’s religion, our mind’s science. Shall He not have His ordered Rite, His priests and poets, His makers of beauty in colour and form to adorn Him, His mak ers of music to praise Him? Shall not His theologians, divining His nature, declare Him? Shall not even those who but sweep the courts of His temple, partake thereby of His person? And shall not our science lay ha…
… seems to hâve made a straightforward, compréhensible statement, then is it most certain that He means something entirely different. The Truth is nevertheless clearly set forth in His Words: it is His simplicity that baffles the unworthy. I hâve chosen the expressions in this Chapter in such a way that it is likely to mislead those magicians who allow selfish interests to cloud their intelligence, but to give useful hints to such as are bound by the proper Oaths to devote their powers to legitimate ends. Thou hast no right but to do thy will.” …

So much they shall know, surely; never The truth, how lofty and fresh as dew Our love began, abode for ever: They cannot know us through and through. We have exceeded all the past. The future shall not build another. This is the climax, first and last. We stand upon the summit. Of ages, daughter of ages, cast Mother The fatal die, and turn to death ! Let evolution turn, involving As when the gray sun sickeneth— Ghostly September ! so dissolving Into the pale eternal breath. When all is done, sh…

The twin lights which flare on the summits are the “ Declarers of Eternal Truth.” The pillars are really obelisks with tetrahedronal capitals slightly flattened at the apices so as to bear each a lamp. At the Eastern part of Malkuth, at its junction-point with the path of n, is placed the altar in the form of a double cube.

The ethics of the thing appear to hâve concerned no one; nor, to tell the truth, need they do so. As St. Paul says, “Without shedding of blood there is no remission” ; and who are we to argue with St. Paul? But? after ail that, it is open to any one to hâve any opinion that he likes upon the subject, or any other subject, thank God! At the same time, it is most necessary to study the business, whatever we may be going to do about it; for our ethics themselves will naturally dépend upon our theory of the universe. If we were quite certain, for e…

The music changes, and I know that here, In these new melodies, a tongue of fire Leaps at each waving of the silver spear ; And all my sorrow dons delight’s attire Becaus…
