…of enormously more achievement than others, even in terrestrial matters, from sexual orgia to creative Art. Even if we had only this one earth life to consider, we exceed our fellows some thirtyfold, some sixtyfold, some an hundredfold.
…d, and so could never lead to weariness and boredom. This honeymoon would blossom and bear fruit perennially, season by season, like the earth our mother and the sun our father themselves, an inexhaustible, frictionless enthusiasm. We were par- takers of the eternal sacrament; whatever happened was equally essential to the ritual. Death itself made no difference to anything; our calm continuous candescence burst through the chains of circumstance, and left us free for ever to do our wills, which were one will, the will of Him that sent us. The …

In the present case the seeker after Truth is called the Child of Earth and Darkness, and instead of being shown the beautiful garment of light he will one day be called upon to wear, is at once rolled in a heap of tinselled draperies, in mummy wrappings, outgrown togas and the discarded underwear of 290

…form. And this is the reason of existence, that in this dance which is delight, there must needs be both the god and the adept. Also the earth herself is a saint; and the sun and the moon dance upon her, torturing her with delight. This vision is not perfect. I am only in the outer court of the vision, because I have undertaken it in the service of the Holy One, and must retain sense and speech. No recorded vision is perfect, of high visions, for the seer must keep either his physical organs or his memory in working order. And neither is capabl…
…here is a little bird upon a bush, and the bird flaps its wings. Thereat the strength of the giants snaps, and they fall in heaps to the earth, as though all their bones were suddenly broken. And now waves of light roll through the Aethyr, as if they were playing. Therefore suddenly I am in a garden, upon a terrace of a great castle, that is upon a rocky mountain. In the garden are fountains and many flowers. There are girls also in the garden, tall, slim, delicate and pale. And nowI see that the flowers are the girls, for they change from one …
…e all in that hour. Ye shall gather goods and store of women and spices; ye shall wear rich jew els; ye shall exceed the nations of the earth in splendour & pride; but always in the love of me, and so shall ye come to my joy. I charge you earnestly to come before me in a single robe, and covered with a rich headdress. I love you! I yearn to you! Pale or purple, veiled or voluptuous, I who am all pleasure and purple, and drunkenness of the innermost sense, desire you. Put on the wings, and arouse the coiled splendour within you: come unto me! 6…
…ted, the result will be incalculably effective . The event will establish the kingdom of the Crowned and Conquering Child over the whole earth, and all men shall bow to the Law, which is "love under will. " This should be plain enough, and satisfactory. However, I thought it was time to draw public attention to these matters more emphatically. In fulfilment of my pledge given above, and of the instructions originally given to me by the Masters, I got out The Equinox of the Gods at 6:22 a.m., December 22,1937, e.v.; and·, to fulfil my condition …

For sweets she passed round her own sweet straw- berry-patch : and the savoury was no less easily procured from her luscious rectum. She pissed white wine, spunked liquor, and gave us a better red than Burgundy : for by the [71]

The reasonable creatures of the earth and men, let them vex and weed out one another (this is, the destruction of reason by internecine conflicts in the course of redemption). And their dwelling places, let them forget their names. (This is, the arising of Nemo.) The work of man and his pomp, let them be defaced. (That is, in the Great Work man must lose his personality.)

…have despised from the first the absence of hierarchy among the Brethren, though at the same time they formed the most exclusive body on earth, being the only people that were going to heaven. There is thus an extreme psychological contradiction inherent in the situation. It is improbable that Alick was aware at the time of the real feelings which must have been implanted in him by this environment; but the main result was undoubtedly to stimulate his pride and ambition in a most unwholesome (?) degree. His social and financial position, the ob…

Percy -- the Percy of “ The Poem ,” and not of “ Why Jesus Wept ,” is optimistic enough concerning that vast army of unsexed women who are degraded by want of food and surfeit of marriage ; for it is to these two that their existence as such is chiefly due .

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Before the birth of Copernicus the sun was universally considered to be a body moving round the earth; it was a FACT, and probably whilst it lasted the most universal fact the mind of man has ever accepted; but since that illuminated sage arose, it has been shown to be a simple fable, a child-like error, a puny optical illusion—so much for pseudo-scientific dogmatics. To a child who has never seen a monkey, monkey is out- side the circumference of its knowledge; but when once it has seen one it is mere foolishness…

I met a cer- tain dog, who bore witness that thou wast tighter than it is possible to believe, the liar ! ” “ Verily, o ass, but Omar hath passed by since then.” Ed.] 7.

I love; and I am denied, forI have denied myself. Give me those hands, put them against my heart. Is it not cold? Sink, sink, the abyss of time remains. It is not possible that one should come to ZAA. Give me thy face. Let me kiss it with my cold kisses. Ah! Ah! Ah! Fall back from me. The word, the word of the aeon is MAKHASHANAH. And these words shalt thou say back- IV c 17
