We did not go to sleep at once. I felt my thoughts too varied. They wandered from one thing to another without reasonable sequence.

The horror of this thought was my convictionthen and nowthat it represented perfect sanity and coher- ence of thought. For I dreaded utterly to think what such words might imply.

This prophet of the White School, chosen by its Masters and his brethren, to save the Theory and Practice, is armed with a sword far mightier than Excalibur.

I am as near seventy as makes no matter, and I am still learning with all my might. All my life I have been taught: governesses, private tutors, schools, private and public, the best of the Universities: how little I know!

… a mantra suitable to the God. The third is the assumption of the form of the God — by transmuting the astral body into LIis shape. This last method îs really essential to ail proper invocation, and cannot be too sedulously practised. There are many other devices to aid invocation, so many that it is impossible to enumerate them; and the Magician will be wise to busy himself in inventing new ones. We will give one example. Suppose the Suprême Invocation to consist of 20 or 30 barbarous liâmes, let hirn imagine these liâmes to occupy sections of…

The matter was left entirely in our own hands. All we were asked was to keep a record of what we were doing. , I couldn’t see how the fact of putting a thing down could make any difference to the act itself.

My aspiration to be the means of emancipating humanity was perfectly fulfilled. I had merely to establish in the world the Law which had been given me to proclaim: "Thou hast no right but to do thy will." Had I bent my energies from the first to proclaiming the Law of Thelema I should doubtless have found no obstacle in my path. Those which naturally arise in the course of any…

At last all the energy latent in the blood of the pigeons was exhausted by the successive phantoms, so that it was no longer able to give form to the forces evoked. The Triangle was empty. During all this time I had astrally identified myself with Choronzon, so that I experienced each anguish, each rage, each despair, each insane outburst.
