…sh to know,” and 01 the dark man “ I wish it were light,” the first clearly a confession of ignorance, the second a patent evasion; which things discomforted me much. Yet we progressed evenly and rapidly, and were mightily 57
…ear roses, and I heard the voice of the master. After that I was shewn all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and many other things of great use and beauty. Then I took my leave of the old man of the tower, and boarded the shallop that I had made, when he cried out piteously that he feared earthquake, and asked me for my aid. So with a heart both heavy and light I abandoned my shallop and the dreadful labour of its fashioning, and came back to him. Then came earthquake as he had foreseen; and he and the boats also were swallowed up.…

…ed both ways, so that the Third House is called the Eighth House too, and the Fifth the Sixth, and so on. But you can’t tell what lovely things that means till you’ve been through them all, and got to the very end. So when you look at the Ring and see I.N.R.I. and T.A.R.O. on it that means that it is like a policeman keeping on saying “ Pass along, please l” I would have liked to stay in the Fourth House all my life, but I began to see it was just a little dream House too; and I couldn’t rest, because my own House was the very next one. But it’…
…it be not abused. Wealth is of no account in the O.T.O. Above a certain grade all realisable property, with certain obvious excep- tions—things in daily use, and the like—must be vested in the O.T.O. Property may be enjoyed in accordance with the dignity of the adept of such grade, but he cannot leave it idle 236
…had thought it a somewhat overrated pleasure, a brief and brutal blindness with boredom and disgust hard on its heels. But with cocaine, things are absolutely different. I want to emphasise the fact that cocaine is in reality a local anesthetic. Thatis the actual explanation of its action. One cannot feel one’s body. (As every one knows, this is the purpose for which it is used in surgery and dentistry.) Now don’t imagine that this means that the physical pleasures of marriage are diminished, but they are utterly etherealised. The animal part o…
…his left foot, while on his right were Sybil, Thais, Ursula, Vivien, Wilhelmina and Xanthippe ; Yvonne and Zelma were frigging like wild things against his voluptuous patellae. Robert, Samuel, Thomas and Ulrich goosed like good-uns between the toes of his left foot, while Victor, Walter, Xenocrates and Yeo did the same kind office for those of his right. Remained Zeno disconsolate ; but the amorous and quick-witted lad, placing his feet together, made a capital catch-em-alive-o for his horny flip- flap. At the word of command the amorous assa…
…ly changed the aspect of the Universe. How shall a god answer a man? Frater Neophyte K. asks our S. H. Frater L. 8°= 3°. “Are there such things as elemental spirits in the scientific sense?” Now Frater L. knows that there are (just as Professor Ray Lankester would assure a Hottentot of the reality of microscopic objects), but he also knows that there are not, seeing that all is but an illusory veil of the Indicible Arcanum in the Adytum of God nourished Silence. Frater L. will therefore reply Yes! if he thinks Frater K. in danger of scepticism. …
…l. (2) Do that Will with (a) one-pointedness, (b) detachment, (c) peace. Then, and then only, art thou in harmony with the Move- ment of Things, thy will part of, and therefore equal to, the Will of God. And since the will is but the dynamic aspect of the self, and since two different selves could not possess identical wills; then, if thy will be God’s will, Thou art That. There is but one other word to explain. Elsewhere it is written—surely for our great comfort—‘Love is the law, love under will.” 42
…ve with him at once. It seemed to each that she was the only one. But they discovered the arrangement — he never took pains to hide such things — and they agreed to confront him. They called at his studio together, and [51] told him that he must choose one of them. He smoked a full pipe before replying; then went to his bedroom and returned with a pair of socks — in need of attention. "Simon, Son of Jonas, lovest thou me? — Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. Mend my socks," he misquoted somewhat blasphemously, and threw the socks to the …
…d with a good deal of hearty chaff. Dripping, in evening dress, at four o’clock in the morning! Like Hedda Gabler, “one doesn’t do these things.” But the cocaine helped me again. Why the devil should I care what anybody thought? | “Where can I get gas?” I said to the captain of the smack. He smiled grimly. “ She’ll want a bit more than gas.” I glanced at the ’plane. The man was perfectly right. A week’s repairs, at the least. “You'd better go to the hotel, sir, and get some warm clothes. Look how the lady’s shivering.” It was perfectly true. Th…
- 336 The Diary of a Drug Fiend things out of heroin which I should never have got otherwise. 8. It is dangerous to stop too suddenly. g. I'd better take a small dose now rather than put it off till later; because if I do so, it will disturb my sleep. 10. It is really very bad for the mind to be constantly preoccupied with the question of the drug. It is better to take a small dose to rid myself of the obsession. 11. I am worried about the drug because of my not having any. If I were to take some, my mind would clear up immediately, and I shoul…
…s and they hear not.” However, you hear well, and smell well, and your two other senses are all right. What you miss, it’s the colour of things. I cannot explain it to you, and it would do you no good if I did. Your compensation is that you do not see that which is ugly, ugly like old Ivan Semenovich, and also that you hear and’ feel and smell with more accuracy than we do. Of course, it is nice to see as well, and I will pray Christ for you, especially if you can give mea few coppers with which to buy tapers. You must have plenty of them; peop…

… are imperfect, since they omit their opposites. Yet, I would have you consider that this equality or iden- tity of equation between all things and No thing is most absolute, so that you will remain no more in the one than you did in the other. And you will understand this greatest Mys- tery very easily in the light of those other experiences which you will have enjoyed, wherein motion and rest, change and stability, and many other subtle opposites, have been re- deemed to identity by the force of your holy meditation. The greatest gift of the …
…ich it is here spoken, is a most neces- sary step for the beginner, because to the beginner his ordinary life is not a sacrament. To him things are really common and unclean. He must, therefore, cut them out of his life, and hence to him the name of the Path is Renun- ciation. But to him who would be a Master of the Temple, the reverse applies. He wishes to remain perpetually in Samadhi, and it is therefore his renunciation to descend further and further into matter. He has volatilized the fixed: now he must fix the volatile. He has ascended fr…

…t, and all the rest wrong. You are to aspire to the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, and of course to do any other things which may subserve that one purpose; but nothing else. And of course it is a mistake, unless under very special circum- stances, to perform any miracles, on the ground that they diminish the supreme energy reserved for the performance of the Main Task. It will be remembered that the Knowl- edge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel is attrib- uted to Tiphareth, while the Exempt Adept is in Chesed;…
