THE EQUINOX of the mystics themselves, untrained in accuracy of observation, bring back from the fountains of light; nothing but what quacks exploit, and dotards drivel of. Think of what we claim! That concentration and its results can open the Closed Palace of the King, and answer the Riddle of the Sphinx. All science only brings us up to a blind wall, the wall of Philosophy; here is your great Ram to batter a breach and let in the forlorn hope of the Children of the Curse to storm the heights of heaven. One single trained observer with five y…

THE EQUINOX OF THE PLACE OF HARPOCRATES The next invisible station is in the path of D between the place of Thmaist and that of the Evil Triad: and it is the place of the Lotus-throned Lord of Silence, even that Great God Harpocrates, the younger brother of Horus. OF ISIS AND NEPHTHYS The stations are the places of the Pillarsin Netzach and Hod respectively; wherefore these great goddesses are not otherwise shown in this grade, save in connection with the Premonstrator and Imperator. OF AROUERIST His secret place is the last of the invisible st…

THE EQUINOX in such questionable riddles. AccordinglyI said nothing, but tried gently to regain my liberty. Alas! his grasp was stronger than my desire of liberty, and the only result was that he pinched me closer. “T was dead,” he resumed, “and my beautiful and lofty thoughts were wandering through space, shapeless and with- out expression. The cover which enclosed the shrine in which they were kept had been stolen from me, and my foes were expecting my surrender. Happily an angel sent by God ordered me to come out every twenty-one days, and p…

THE EQUINOX Hong-Kong. I found Soror F. sitting or kneeling in a temple. On the Altar were elemental instruments also Symbol of Golden Dawn. She was waiting in awe, almost in fear. On my entering she saw me and started. Then I heard the words “carry it” or “wish to carry”; apparently with reference to idea of carrying away a physical token. The room was full of incense, which I took to materialize myself. At the time I was very tired and really not fit to travel. June 15th. The Buddha appeared to me in the Northern Heaven and said: “ Fear not f…

THE EQUINOX So for zons three hundred and twenty and five did they labour with all their might. But the crack was not diminished by an hair’s breadth; nay, it seemed bigger than before—a very gape in the womb of the Universe. Crestfallen, Kamael the mighty returned before the Great White Spirit, his serpents drooping behind him; and they grovelled before the throne of that All-powerful One. He dismissed them with a short laugh, and a wave of His right hand. If He was disturbed, He was too proud to show it. “This,” he said to himself, “is clearl…

THE EQUINOX rather new-edge his sword for a deeper analysis, and cut away the veil from the face of our Mother. ’Sdeath, man, is there nothing we may love? He is wrong, anyway, to gibe at Scripture. For, like Balaam, I came to curse, and appear to be blessing him! (with scarce a monitory word). And, like Balaam, too, I have been reviewed by G. K. Chesterton. To pass from this painful subject... . Let me rouse myself to a really resolute effort to denounce Shaw as a niddering. Aha! I have it. The man is a journalist after all. We have to thank h…

THE EQUINOX scope. And there cometh a peacock into the stone, filling the whole Aire. It is like the vision called the Universal Peacock, or, rather, like a representation of that vision. And now there are countless clouds of white angels filling the Aire as the peacock dissolves. Now behind the angels are archangels with trumpets. These cause all things to appear at once, so that there is a tremendous confusion of images. And nowI perceive that all these things are but veils of the wheel, for they all gather themselves into a wheel that spins …

THE EQUINOX essence, for all the other Aethyrs are but as Malkuth to com- plete these three triads, as hath before been said. And this being the second reflection, therefore is it the palace of two hundred and eighty judgments. For all these paths* are in the course of the Flaming Sword from the side of Severity. And the other two paths are Zayin, which is a sword; and Shin, which is a tooth. These are then the five severities which are 280. All this is communicated to the Seer interiorly. “And the eye of His benignancy is closed. Let it not be…

THE EQUINOX grow hot, and imaginations wild; they believe in a miracle more startling than was of old the passage of the Red Sea. The Jews form in a close column, and run towards the sea; the rear ranks push the front ranks frantically: they think they see the pretended Moses walk upon the water. A shocking disaster resulted: almost all that multitude was drowned, and the hallucination was only extinguished with the life of the greater number of those unhappy visionaries. Human thought creates what it imagines ; the phantoms of superstition pro…

THE EQUINOX “*T have it,’ said I. ‘I will climb down and bring up the ermine.’ “ She shuddered at the idea. Her dead mother’s furs! “Tt must be,’ I said firmly. “*Go, brave knight !’—a delicate smile lit up her face— ‘I trust myself to you.’ “T bent on my right knee to her. ‘I take you,’ I said, ‘to be my lady, to fight in your cause, to honour and love you for ever.’ “She put out her right hand—oh, the delicate beauty of it | I kissed it. ‘My knight,’ she said, ‘Jean is below; he may hear you; you go perhaps to your death—kiss me!’ “With a sob…

THE EQUINOX with a concentrated mind and stop the upward and downward course of the Prana by Jalandhara Bandha, Resting his body upon his palms placed upon the ground, he should strike the ground softly with his posteriors. By this the Prana, leaving Ida and Pingala, goes through the Sushumna. . . . The body assumes a death-like aspect. Then he should breathe out.* 5. Khechari Mudra. The Yogi sitting in the Vajrasana (Siddhdsana) posture, should firmly fix his gaze upon Ajna, and reversing the tongue backwards, fix it in the hollow under the ep…
