THE EQUINOX sions are represented by pictorial glyphs, so each reflection upon an impression is accompanied by either one or two (more only when the control is imperfect) critical glyphs, as it were in small type, an annotation of approval or otherwise. Thus, a chain of thought A—B—C will have three approving pictures in a fainter key; the soul justifying the sequence. Should one continue A—B—C—E an opposing glyph will warn of the falsity, or at least cast doubt upon it. In the generally un- stable condition of the thought, such a critical glyp…

THE EQUINOX Let us now trace his progress in search of the Stone of the Philosophers, which is hidden in the Mountain of Abiegnus. There are eighteen recorded visions* between the com- mencement of November and the end of December 1898, but as there is not sufficient space to include them all, only six of the most interesting will be given. Being all written in his private hieroglyphic cipher by Frater P., we have been obliged to re-write them completely, and elaborate them. No. 5. ‘After fervent prayer I was carried up above the circle which I…

THE EQUINOX so the Karma, released from the body of the dead man, will circle round until it finds the body of a new-born child tuned or syntonized to its particular waves. Now we are not concerned here with stray children who like the receivers of a wireless telegraph pick up either good or evil messages; but it is an interesting fact to learn that at least certain orthodox Buddhists attribute so complex and con- siderable a power to the brain, that by the fact of leaving one body that body perishes, and of entering another that body revives. …

At one time Ajna seemed enormously, perhaps infinitely, elongated. Mantra “Aum Tat Sat Aum” with usual throbbing. Took 210 drops of Laudanum as an experiment under MAitrananda’s guidance. (Absolutely no mental result, and hardly any physical result. I must be most resistant to this drug, which I had never previously taken). Recovering from the Laudanum. Pranayama and Dharana hopeless…

THE EQUINOX meteorites they seemingly come from nowhere, splash like falling stars through the firmament of our meditation, sparkle and are gone; but ever coming as a distraction to hamper and harass our onward march. Once the mind has conquered these, a fresh difficulty arises, the danger of not being strong enough to overcome the occult powers which, though the reward of our toils, are liable, like the Queen in her bedchamber, to seduce the Con- queror in spite of his having conquered the King her husband, and secretly slay him as he sleeps i…

THE EQUINOX Love, and her love is one, and she hath divided the one love into infinite loves, and each love is one, and equal with The One, and therefore is she passed “from the assembly and the law and the enlightenment unto the anarchy of solitude and darkness. For ever thus must she veil the brilliance of Her Self.” O Babylon, Babylon, thou mighty Mother, that ridest upon the crownéd beast, let me be drunken upon the wine of thy fornications; let thy kisses wanton me unto death, that even I, thy cup-bearer, may understand. Now, through the r…

This service to humanity he successfully performed; the “Rump” of the London Temple was dis— persed, and its chief, his occupation gone, left to the more diverting pastime of trying to dodge the Criminal Law Amendment Act. With autumn we find Fra.

THE EQUINOX St. Genevieve is always represented with a medal on her neck, that which St. Germain d’Auxerre gave her, and holding a taper, which the devil tries to extinguish, but which is pro- tected from the breath of the unclean spirit by a miraculous little tabernacle. After the lady devotees came the clergy; then finally appeared the venerable Archbishop of Paris, mitred with a white mitre, wearing a cope which was supported on each side by his two vicars; the prelate, leaning on his cross, walked slowly, and blessed to right and left the c…

THE EQUINOX “Ha,” he replied, “he no good, he my disciple, I am the master!” “And Swami Dayanand Sarasvati?” I continued. The same answer was vouched to me, although this latter teacher had died at the age of seventy, forty years ago. Thinking it about time to change the conversation, I said: “O Thou Shower from the Highest! Tell thy grovelling disciple what then zs a ‘lie’?” “Ha!” he replied, “it is illusion, this truth that has been diverged from its real point . . . an illusive spring in the primo-genial fermentation of ‘fee-no-me-non,’ in t…

Once, I remember, there trickled from me a vagrant little flow of words, so bitter and so inviting, so poisonous and yet so intoxicating, that the soul for whom they were meant held up the silver goblets of hearing for its own destruction with trembling, greedy hands, covetous and anxious, hungry and afraid. Her voice that purled and rippled and sang th…
