The Star in the West

…are fools ; secondly , because those who are not are knaves . I take no heed of trickery played By cunning mad Elijah's skill , When the great test of strength was made On Carmel's melancholy hill , And on the altar stone the liar Cried “ Water ," and poured forth Greek fire !' 1 Ahab , vol . ii, p . 123 .

Book 4 (Part II)

…ot quite clear even to them has been elucidated. May the whole Path now be plain to all ! Frater Perdurabo is the most honest of all the great religious teachers. Others have said : "Believe me!" He says: "Z>^;z'/ believe me!" He does not ask for followers; would despise and refuse them. He wants an independent and self-reliant body of students to follow out their own methods of research. If he can save them time and trouble by giving a few useful "tips," his work will have been done to his own satisfaction. Those who have wished men to believe…

By “desire” is again meant “tendency” in the technical Buddhist sense. The Law of Gravitation is the most uni- versal example of such a tendency. 64. Still greater he, in whom the Self Divine has slain the very knowledge of desire. This verse refers to a stage in which the Master has got 66

Diary of a Drug Fiend

…write there are two beautiful people looking over my shoulder. They have been sent to watch over me and guide me, and prepare me for the great destiny which is in store for me. Here comes Peter with the waiter and a tray. I must hide this book. The secrets of the spiritual life must be kept from the profane. It’s all right. Peter is my soul-mate after all. We couldn't eat much. It’s only natural ; all base appetites have to be killed out before one is ready to go on. Peter ate very little himself; and then he said :— | “IT know why we couldn’t …

… become as well the source of his misfortune as of all his happiness. The poor Fairies were extremely busy, for the crowd of clients was great, and their mid- dle kingdom, placed as it was between man and God, is like us ruled by the terrible law of Time, and of its infinite posterity,—days, hours, minutes, and seconds. In good sooth they were flurried as are min- isters on a reception day, or the assistants in the Government pawn-shop when a national festival allows redemptions without interest. I even believe that from time to time they watch…

Liber Aleph

…o do no Magick is to commit Violence on himself. Yet learn also that all Action is in some sense Magick, being an essential Part of that Great Magical Work which we call Nature. Then thou hast no free Will? Verily, thou hast said. Yet nevertheless it is thy necessary Destiny to act with that free Will. Thou canst do nothing save in accordance with that true Nature of thine and of all Things, and every Phenomenon is the Resultant of the Totality of Forces; Amen. Then thou needest take no Thought and make no Effort? Thou sast sooth; yet, art thou…

The World’s Tragedy

…the discomfiture of the faith- ful, who were too polite to call the attention of the hostess to their interior pangs. Joyful too was the great tea at Mr. Nunnerley’s where we delayed the prayer meeting one whole hour by plying Mrs. Musty with avalanches of food after everyone else had finished. Ah joy ! as piglike she munched on ! while the hapless brethren (torn between impatience and polite- ness) wrung their hands in anguish. Only my natural reluctance to strike a tragic chord so early in my narrative obliges me to omit some account of the c…

The Equinox (Volume I, Number IX)

ROSA IGNOTA Over the brink of the world to cull fresh roses; Roses, still roses, myriad roses bloom In the silence. Oh! the world’s great Rose uncloses Her petals still, to the Nothingness of doom. Last Rose! Last love! Last night thou camest to me, A silver dream under a sapphire sky; The winds of the world ran ever and ever through me, Until, at last, the end: then did I lie In dream, and dream that made mine eyes unclose, And so I lost thee, O immortal Rose. (vim) I swing a censer in a temple of fire; I chant slow mantrams to a holy Name; I …
