…m most miserable. But truth must leap In this tremendous moment from my lips, Its long-shut barrier. For I pity thee With my old heart’s whole pity.

We must have been increasing the dose very fast :, but I can’t be sure, because we don’t keep track of it or of the days either. Counting things is so despicable. One feels so degraded. Surely that’s the difference between spirit and matter. It’s bestial to be bounded. Cockie agrees with me about this. He thinks I’m writing rather wonderful things.

He shouid choose them so that their capacities cover the whole ground of his workj but he shouid not multiply them unneccessarily, for he makes himself responsible for each one that he employs. Such spirits snould be ceremonially evoked to visible or semi-visible appear- ance. A strict arrangement shouid be made and sworn.

…fies itself. This is because they know themselves to be part of an harmonious unity; to disdain any item of it would be to blaspheme the whole. The Thelemite is able to revel in any experience soever; in each he recognizes the tokens of ultimate Truth. It is surely obvious, even intellectually, that all phenomena are interdependent, and therefore involve each other. Suppose a + b + c = d, a = d - b - c, just as much as b = d - c - a. It is senseless to pick out one equation as “nice,” and another as “nasty.” Personal predilections are evidence …

Lastly, Magick is a Pyramid, built layer by layer. The work of the Body of Light — with the technique of Yoga — is the foundation of the whole. One’s appréhension of the Astral Plane must be accurate, for Angels, Archangels, and Gods are derived therefrom by analysis. One must hâve pure materials if one wishes to brew pure beer. If one hâve an incomplète and incorrect view of the uni verse, how can one find out its laws? Thus, original omission or error tends to extend to the higher planes. Suppose a Magician, invoking Sol, were persuaded by a …
