… king, Helios, he recognizes that the star of day is but the reflection and the material shadow of that sun of truth which illumines the world of intelligence, and which is itself only a light borrowed from the Absolute. It is a remarkable thing that Julian has ideas of the Supreme God, that the Christians thought they alone adored, much greater and more correct than those of some of the fathers of the Church, who were his contemporaries, and his adversaries. This is how he expresses himself in his defence of Hellenism : “It is not sufficient t…

…beggars and impostors, and all manner of arrant knaves and rogues such as are no true Brethren. But the Brother who is possessed of this world’s goods should make it his busi- ness to watch the necessity of all those Brethren with whom he may be personally acquainted, anticipating their wants in so wise and kindly and delicate a manner that it shall appear as if it were the payment of a debt. And what help is given shall be given with discretion, so that the relief may be permanent instead of temporary. 3. All Brethren shall be exceedingly punc…

…njunction in this verse 12 to the Beginner will be properly observed. 13. Shun ignorance and likewise shun illusion. Avert thy face from world deceptions: mistrust thy senses; they are false. But within thy body—the shrine of thy sensations— seek in the Impersonal for the “Eternal Man’; and having sought him out, look inward: thou art Buddha. “Shun ignorance”: Keep on acquiring facts. “Shun illusion”: Refer every fact to the ultimate reality. “Interpret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God with your Soul.” “Mistrust thy senses”: Avoi…

The world of sentient beings is separated into clusters, each family, clan, gens, or nation, acting as a unit and standing upon armed neutrality with respect to similar groups. But in the Aeon of Horus this system has broken down. That such is the case is already abundantly manifest. Totalitarianism in any of its forms tends to break down the family structure. It considers only the Individual, and him, merely as a…

Surely, your best work always finds Itself sole object of the mind’s. In vain you ply the brush, distracted By something you have heard a7 acted. Expect some tedious visitor— Your eye runs furtive to the door ; Your hand refuses to obey ; You throw the useless brush away. I think I hear the Word you say! I practice then, with conscious power Watching my mind, each thought controlling, Hurling t…

Now, that which must be taken away from you one day is not really yours. It has only been lent to you. As to the usufruct, it is the result of work; but even work is not an assured guarantee of possession, and war may come with devastation and fire to displace property.
