…t time had changed all that. I still clung pathetically to Badminton; I had merely reached the stage of praying pathetically to meet the good guides described in the book. I was still obsessed by the idea that it was suicidal to cross snow-covered glaciers without a rope. So I took a porter: he was quite willing to obey my orders implicitly, since I was regarded as a Wunderkind. We went up the Jungfrau by the Schneehorn-Silberhorn route, I leading up and descending last. But it was the same old story. The man couldn't stand on a snow slope. I w…

…n the fourth he fell to pieces under me : in the fifth I sedulously and conscien- tiously buggered the pieces one by one : but it was no good. Steven Jimson was (in the immortal word of Poe) a nearly liquid mass of loathsome, of de- testable putrescence. Do not think for a moment that my affection was shaken by so slight a cir- cumstance ! But I assure you nay ! I swear it to you upon this holy Relic !

…the question, "How is the illusion of evil to be destroyed?" depends on another point of theory. We may postulate a Parabrahm infinitely good, etc., etc., etc., in which case we consider the destruction of the illusion of evil as the reuniting of the consciousness with Parabrahm. The unfortunate part of this scheme of things is that on seeking to define Parabrahm for the purpose of returning to Its purity, it is discovered sooner or later, that It possesses no qualities at all! In other words, as the fanner said, on being shown the elephant: Th…

In such a case, you should make it the request for a favour. Say you're "dying for someone to talk to, and would he care to join you in a spot of lunch" at the Ritz, or wherever you feel that he will be the happiest. When you can do this sort of thing as it should be done, without embarrassment , false shame, with your whole heart in your words-do it simply, to sum up-you…

…he ages. Our ances tors survived because they were able to adapt themselves to their environment; their rivals failed to breed, and so “good” qualities are transmitted, while “bad” are sterile. Thus the race-thought, subconscious, tells a man that he must have a son, cost what it may. Rome was founded on the rape of the Sabine women. Would a reasoner have advocated that rape? Was it “justice” or “mercy” or “morality” or “Christianity”? There is much on the ethics of this point in Chapter II of this Book. Thomas Henry Huxley in his essay Evolut…

…he first drew air into his lungs. Let me add, to strengthen the argument , that on the few occasions where I have erred there has been a good astrological reason for it. E.g., I might plump for Pisces rising when it was actually Capricornus; but in that case Saturn would have been afflicted by being in Cancer, with bad aspects from Venus and the Moon, thus taking away aU his rugged, male, laborious qualities, and in the Ascendant might have been Jupiter, suggesting many of the qualities of Pisces: and so forth.
