However this may be, it is undoubtedly no easy task to follow the royal bird in his dazzling flight through illimitable oathyr. Yet the attempt will avail us much; even if we can rise only some few feet above the ground, we may say, “something attempted, something done.” And as we grow bolder, we shall be more at ease in the new ele ment, or even, like th…

287 But the Jew has been persecuted so relentlessly that his survival has depended on the development of his worst qualities; avarice, servility, falseness, cunning and the rest. Even the highest-class Eurasians such as Ananda Koomaraswamy suffer acutely from the shame of being considered outcast. The irrationality and injustice of their neighbours heightens the feeling and it breeds the very abominations which the snobbish inhumanity of their fellow-men expects of them. With the departure from Bhamo may be said to begin a new phase of my caree…

…r awry ; we have become as gods knowing good and evil , and having become gods with much striving against adversity, may some day become men ; for -to become a god is but to become as the image created in the brain of man , but to become a man is to become a progenitor of gods ; and then perchance we may realize the sublimity of the Great Mother hood , whose children are as one , a flaming crown of glory twined and interwoven with roses both white and red . This mingling of the passionate and the chaste we find is the new ideal that Crowley fla…

The former is A 1 Argument : This chapter attempts to show how all philo sophies may be equated in corresponding terms of each other ; and how the philosophic principles of Berkeley and Hume , combined , form what may be known as the philosophical theme of Crowleyanity , in which it is demonstrated how all systems are inwardly mystically identical , and outwardly sceptically diverse . Further , how by the study of Berkeley , Hume ,…

…ew of her light bathing his whole body in a sweet-smelling perfume of sweat; O Nuit, continuous one of Heaven, let it be ever thus; that men speak not of thee as One but as None; and let them speak not of thee at all, since thou art continuous. During this speech the Priestess must have divested herself completely of her robe. See CCXX. I. 62. THE Priestess. But to love me is better than all things; if under the night-stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the serpent flame therein,…

…n's bones. However vile and venal a man's accusers may be, and however obviously absurd may be the charges brought against him, the very men who have been boasting of their friendship for the great man scuttle into obscurity --- at the best; more often, they join in the hue and cry in the hope of escaping the suspicion of having once been in league with the offender. In England today a plain denial like Peter's must count as extravagant loyalty! To me the psychology is heartbreaking, not as it may affect me directly, but because I hate to think…

…s of space is not heated by the fire of the sun. And so pure is the light that it preventeth the formation of images, and therefore have men called it darkness. For with any lesser light, the mind responds, and makes for itself divers palaces. It is that which is written: “In my Father's house there are many mansions ”; and if the house be destroyed, how much more the mansions that are therein!

…e spirochaetas pallida of civilization does not make love luetic, liberty ataxic and life choreic. The people are spontaneous about amusements. To me nothing is more dreary than the policed processions of noble nonentities, famous puppets and beauties whose diet is skin food, whose athletics are face massage and whose fresh air is cocaine. In England enjoyment has been reduced to formality. The studied solemnity of golf is typical. Every few holes one's partner gives a little lecture on the healthfulness of the game, its virtue to bring out the…

…me to my face what was the matter; and having been accustomed to be treated everywhere as a great lord, it never entered my head for a moment that they could suppose anything else. When I found out, I said to myself: Well, that is easy enough: I will show them some money. However, they still regarded us with great suspicion. They gave us what we wanted, but did not seem in the least happy about it. Further investigation, however, finally revealed that having money, they thought we must be brigands. We let it go at that. However, misunderstandin…

Such is the duality of love-the mundane and the celestial .

But their sweet smile prevented me from using any abusive language, which, in fact, they could not understand. Well aware that I was fated to conceal my thoughts for a very long while, I allowed them to advance and attend upon me. In that way began my new life as master of a harem. At first the negroes treated me with a certain reserve, even with hostility; but they soon changed…

They could hear the old man, by his table, cursing them and hitting the wax figures with the hot poker, haphazard, careless of the spot where he struck; but he struck them all equally. The contortions of the men on the yellow painted floor were terrible.
