…cho Brahe as the One Guide? How far the Buddha had he reverenced the Vedas with blind faith? Or how far can we proceed even from partial truth, unless a perfectly open mind be kept regarding it, aware that some new pheno- menon may possibly overthrow our most fun- damental hypotheses! Give me a reasonable proof of some (intelligent) existence which is not liable to sorrow, and I will throw the First Noble Truth to the dogs without a pang. And, knowing this, how splendid is it to read the grand words uttered more than two thousand years ago: ‘‘ …
ALI SLOPER; OR, THE FORTY LIARS 47 in value to yours of telling truth to a man in the sense he under stands. Bones. Yes; I may grant so much: but my formula is a good one too. Bowley. I promise to try it. Bones. You have two advantages. One is the common or Garden Magic; you acquire the habit of telling truth in the low material ob jective sense, and nature is bound (as Levi says) “to accommodate herself to the statement of the magician.” Thus, one may take hold of a hot iron, or coal, saying “ It does not hurt ” and it doesn’t. 80101:].

… ourselves. Such incidents as “Calderazzo” 1 and “Jacob” 2 make this more cogent. rebuttal. But most of these subtleties miss the point. Truth must be defined. It is a name, being a noun (nomen); and ail names are human symbols of things. Now Truth is the power to arouse a certain reaction (“assent”) in a man, under certain conditions; (“greenness”, weight, ail other qualities, are also powers). It exists in the object, whether latent or manifest; so experiencing both does and does not alter the facts. This is Solipsism, because we can only be …
…dent. A lie so base and hurtful must be withdrawn at once, frankly and fully, with all possible publicity. To deny the absolute right of truth and justice to be instantly vindicated in the matter must be repugnant to your sense of honour. Not only has Mr. Crowley not served a prison sentence in America as a white slaver, but he has never been even accused of any crime before any court in any country in the world. The statement made in the Sunday Express is thus an absolute lie ; your editor knows that it is a lie ; and you, my Lord, are in a po…
106 The Law is for All than any other Truth. The Equation Five plus Six is Eleven is of the same order of perfection as Ten Million times Ten times Ten Thousand Million is One Billion.1 In the Universe formulated by the Absolute, every point is equally the Centre; every point is equally the focus of the forces of the whole. (In any system of three points, any two may be considered solely with reference to the third, so that even in a finite universe the sum of the properties of all points is the same, though no two properties may be com mon to…
… greatness of his art . And of the strength the mathematician had ; How with those subtle arms dx , dy He reached the hidden citadels of truth . And how he went exploring in his world Of space and number , groping in the dark , Finding the pathways blocked on every side , Till some great thought arising as a sun , Would drive the mists away and show in front The radiant living mountains of new truth . I know not if I understood aright His meaning , but I saw upon his face The rapture of a visionary inspired . And as I went from out the ancient …
THE EQUINOX five days later he began what he called “The Writings of Truth.” Before we begin these, it will be necessary to enter upon the doctrines of Buddhism at some little length, for Frater I. A. was now at heart a follower of Gotama, being rather disgusted with his Tamil Guru; and under his guidance it was that P. grasped the fundamental importance of Con- centration through meditation. 124

…Here, too, are those things which many have imagined to be the " spirits " of the dead. If the student once take any of these things for truth, he must worship it, since all truth is worshipful. In such a case he is lost; the phantom will have power over him; it will obsess him. As long as an idea is being examined you are free from
19 The Act of Truth Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. It seems that last Wednesday I so far forgot myself as to refer to the "Act of Truth" in conversation, and never mentioned what it is when it's at home, or why anyone should perform it, or what happens when one does perform it! All right, I will remedy that; luckily, it is a very simple matter; very important, perfectly paradoxical, and devastatingly effective. Analysed, it is to make the assumption that something which seems very wrong is actually all right, that …
…CATION Yea, with one song of starry flame In brilliance of immortal youth Didst thou stand stedfast and proclaim Freedom and Ecstasy and Truth, Erect amid the wreck of Things Poised on inexorable wings ! . . . . So much the universe may see When its bats-eyes may endure the sun : This secret rests my prize to me, That I knew thee, surpassed of none, Fighting and faithful to the end, A Perfect knight, a perfect friend.
…-protected against sensational newspaper calumny. Every editor and publisher must reckon, nowadays almost exclusively, not with the real truth about an author, nor with the balanced judgment of the educated reader or man of the world, but with the prejudices and passions of the masses. Unless therefore a man of letters is wealthy enough to call his traducer to instant account in court of law, the absolute falsity of a newspaper calumny will not prevent it from working, right from the start, almost as much mischief as if it were proven truth. It…
…any save Him, even as no two artists can make identical pictures of the same subject. More, even in fundamentals, though these things be Truth for ail Mankind, as we carelessly say, any one particular Magician may be the one man for whom they are false. May not the flag that seems red to ten thousand seem green to some one other? Then, every man and every woman being a Star, that which is green to him is verily green 3 if he consent to the crowd and call it red, hath he not broken the Staff of Truth that he leaneth upon? Each and every man ther…

201 truth --- and experience (often humiliating) of such reactions --- is of much use against this particular kind of bondage. While other defenders of Rodin were apologizing for him in detail I brushed aside the nonsense --- "a plague o' both your houses!" --- and wrote a sonnet, which is, in its way, to conventional criticism exactly what the Balzac was. It was translated into French by Marcel Schwob and made considerable stir in Paris. Even at this length of time, I attach a certain importance to it. For one thing, it marks a new stage in my…
