…act your attention; while if you are vowed to obedience the question of what you are to do no longer frets: you simply obey. There are a great many other obstacles which you will discover as you go on, and it is proposed to deal with these in turn. But let us pass by for the moment to the point where you are nearing success. In your early struggles you may have found it difficult to conquer sleep; and you may have wandered so far from the object of your meditations without noticing it, that the meditation has really been broken; but much later o…

…Grace Darling. Oh the wonderful gospel that she brings to perishing humanity! She has discovered the secret of eternal youth : like most great discoveries, it isa very simple one. “When tired, rest!” This puts Grace Dawson several streets ahead of Madame Curie, and disposes once for all of the assertion that the female brain is inferior to the male. “When tired, rest!” How grand, how simple, how sublime! When human souls, by passion led, Are overworked and underfed, Who tucks them in their little bed ? Grace Dawson. I yawn, I rub mine eyes, I p…

…ving the Law can that fragment expand into the infinite conception of the whole. I want you to share with me one little fragment of this great Truth which has been made clear to me this Sun-Day morning: I want you to come with me—if you will—just across the border-line of the Old Eon and gaze for a mo- ment at the New. Then, if the aspect pleases you, you will stay, or, it may be, you will return for a while, but the road once open and the Path plain, you will always be able to get there again, in the twinkling of an eye, just by readjusting yo…

Then dashing down the hand with a great sweep back and out, expelling forcibly thy breath, cry AIIO ÏÏANTOS KAKOAAIMO NOS. With the same forefinger touch thy forehead, and say SOI, thy member, and say Q <I>AAAE 1, thy right shoulder, and say IS" XTPOS, thy left shoulder, and say ETXAPISTOS ; then clasp thine hands, locking the Angers, and cry IAQ.

…d way than his antecedent work. It requires quiet study and sober meditation to appreciate its scholarship, its profound insight and its great worth. The letters that comprise this volume were written fairly close to the end of Crowley's life here on earth. (It seems difficult at this writing to realize that he was born almost a century ago-in 1875!) Some critics are inclined to believe that he had become feebleminded toward the end, a condition which some felt to be due to the "softening" of his brain through his use of drugs. He was troubled …

… the poet says “ leprous entanglements of sense " ; here is a magnificent pas sage heated with passion and not a little lust : Breast to great breast and thigh to thigh , We look , and strain , and laugh , and die . I see the head hovering above To swoop for cruelty or love ; I feel the swollen veins below The knotted throat , the ebb and flow Of blood , not milk , in breasts of fire ; Of deaths , not fluctuants , of desire ; Of molten lava that abides Deep in the vast volcanic sides ; Deep scars where kisses once bit in Below young mountains t…

THE EQUINOX the Holy Qabalah, concerning the Whirlpool and Leviathan, and the Great Stone. Thus long have I talked with thee in bidding thee depart, that the memory of the Aethyr might be dulled; for hadst thou come back suddenly into thy mortal frame, thou hadst fallen into madness or death. For the vision is not such that any may endure it. But now thy sense is dull, and the shew-stone but a stone. Therefore awake, and give secretly and apart the sign of the Mother, and call four times upon the name of CHAOS, that is the four-fold word that i…

…ow of his hotel, and flung masses of money to the mob. Soon after came a stranger, and said to him, "You have insulted the fourth of the great powers that rule this world; it shall be taken from you." It was so; he lost all. In the end he became, after a fashion, Sannyasi, and died (I suppose) in the usual odour. I thought of this incident in Paris in the twenties, when I saw American tourists plaster the bonnets of their cars with 1000 franc notes, or tear them up and strew the floors of banks with them. Grimly I prognosticated Twenty-Nine. An…

… scholarship deserted him. He published nothing new and lived in sodden intoxication till death put and end to his long misery. He was a great man in his way. May he have expiated his errors and resumed his labours, with the advantage of experience! Summer was now at hand and the wanderlust reasserted itself in me. There was no point in my going back to Boleskine till the following Easter. As it happened, Mathers --- to whom I returned to report progress --- had two guests, members of the Order. They had just comeback from Mexico. The fancy too…

With two and twenty breath—cycles did I begin. This practice was a little easier; but not much better. It ought to become quite simple and natural before one devotes the half-minute of Kam- bhakam (breath held-in), when one is rigid to a strong projectionofWill toward Adonai,ashas been mycustom.

…Magician. One might almost say there is no scrap of material in the whole Universe with which he can dispense. His ultimate enemy is the great Magician, the Magician who created the whole illusion of the Universe; and to meet him in battle, so that nothing is left either of him or of yourself, you must be exactly equal to him. At the same time let the Magician never forget that every brick must tend to the summit of the pyramid — the sides must be perfectly smooth; there must be no false summits, even in the lowest layers. This is the practical…

But what are you to say (you enquire) to the ordinary Bloke-on-the-Boulevard, to the man of the world who has acquired a shrewd knowledge of Nature, but finds no rational guide to the conduct of life. He observes many unsatisfactor…
