…face, but course at a large through the boundless ether. This is not merely a matter of actual ceremonies; I insist that in private life men should not admit their passions to be an end, {554} indulging them and so degrading themselves to the level of the other animals, or suppressing them and creating neuroses. I insist that every thought, word and deed should be consciously devoted to the service of the great work. "Whatsoever ye do, whether ye eat or drink, do all to the glory of God." One night in Granada I met one of these gypsies. The set…

…? It is better to mount, and dare the brute to bolt. After the man is thrown, we pick him up and nurse him, but we don’t adore him. Most men are like that. But what every woman is looking for is the man with the most spirited horse and the most complete mastery of him. That’s most symbolic in The Garden of Allah, where the monk who cannot ride takes a stallion out into the desert, determined to fight the thing out to a finish. Basil was not moved by the savage spite of Peter. He refused to be provoked. Whenever he got a chance to put a word in,…

…on. Great captains were always great priests, in the secret Qabalistical sense. The priests themselves, then as to-day, were foolish old men trained to bolster up the externals of religion. The real rulers, then as to-day, were not, officially, priests ; the sceptre was wielded by those who, swathed in thick darkness, and enthroned on their own thunderclouds, looked with the eye of gods upon this earth, and carried out the designs of God with tranquil power. I have depicted such a Servant of God stepping down from his throne at the precise mome…

The Vindu causes the pleasure and pain of all creatures living in this world, who are infatuated and subject to death and decay.} There are two modifications of the Vajroli Mudra; namely, Amarani and Sahajoni. The first teaches how, if at the time of union there takes place a union of the sun and moon, the lunar flux can be re-absorbed by the lingam. And the second how…

… domestic unhappiness will disappear automatically, for its chief cause is the sexual dissatisfaction of wives, or the anxiety (or other mental strain) engendered should they take the remedy in their own hands. The crime of abortion will lose its motive in all but the most exceptional cases. Blackmail will be confined to commercial and political offences, thus diminishing its frequency by two-thirds, at least, maybe much more. Social scandals and jealousies will tend to disappear. Sexual disease will be easier to track and to combat, when it is…

32 Messiah (a reincarnation of Jesus) would be born of the love between two men. Sodomy was thus a religious duty with the Turk : at any moment his passion might be used to bring about the Mille- nium : so with the Christian it became heresy, and was punished as such. People who were beyond suspicion, such as Princes of the Church, could always obtain dispensations, and in fact habitually did so. The documents are extant. This was to the mediaeval mind a far more urgent matter than any mere persistence of Levitical tradition, founded as it was …

How could I do such a thing, seeing who I was? He wanted some H. badly; finding it gone, made him want it insanely. He took one of the packets and began to chew it. “Thank God,” he said, ‘it’s quite bitter. There must be a lot in the dress.” | I was shivering and faint. I got another packet, and put it in my mouth. He went wild and clutched me by the hair, and forced o…

…he Flying Inn (1914), ch. 17.] 61. There is an end of the word of the God enthroned in Ra’s seat, lightening the girders of the soul. Commentary: Note that Heru-ra-ha is not merely a particu lar form of Ra, but the God enthroned in Ra’s seat. That is, His Kingdom on earth is temporary, as explained in verse 34. And he is here conceived as the Hierophant, “lightening the girders of the soul”, that is, bringing man to initiation. These “girders” imply the skeletal structure on which the soul is supported, the conditions of its incarnation. Man i…

…aces of this sort might enable us to bag the mountain. I hope that Eckenstein has left adequate material for a biography and made arrangements for its publication. I had always meant to handle the matter myself. But the unhappy termination of his life in phthisis and marriage, when he had hoped to spend its autumn and winter in Kashmir meditating upon the mysteries which appealed to his sublime spirit, made all such plans nugatory. I fell it one of my highest duties to record in these memoirs as much as possible relative to this man, who, with …

Commentary: To fight is the right and duty of every male, as of every woman to rejoice in his strength and to honour and per petuate it by her love. My primary objection to Christianity is “gentle Jesus, meek and mild,” the pacifist, the conscientious objector, the Tolstoyan, the “passive resister.” When the Kaiser fled, and the Germans surrendered their fleet, they abandoned Nietzsche for Jesus.

…, as compared to the diminutive Burmese, but otherwise there was very little change. The old gentleness was still there. I ought to have mentioned (when talking of Ceylon) the delightful story of his adventure with a krait. Going out for a solitary walk one day with no better weapon than an umbrella, be met a krait sunning himself in the middle of the road. Most men would have either killed the krait with the umbrella or avoided its dangerous neighbourhood. Allan did neither; he went up to the deadly little reptile and loaded him with reproache…

… physical energy. His body, said he, was endowed with such force that he must be meant to move it - -- it was all very well for ordinary men to try to sit still, but for him it was clearly an unnatural notion. Five years later, he told me he had become the strongest man on the planet and begged me to empty my revolver at his chest if I didn't mind the bullets rebounding and breaking my windows. I spared my windows; besides, I hate to clean my revolver. He then offered to take me downstairs and watch him shoulder a motor car and run down the roa…

It’s a wonderful investment and the chance of my life financially, and I don’t see why women have to poke their noses into men’s business which they don’t under- stand and never will. Between you, you may have made me miss my chance. Confound you! If I knew where to find Platt, I’d go around and sign the contract this moment.

But Nature is dumb to the hypocrite; for in her there is nothing false.5 ) 21. There is no limit to the extent of the relations of any man with the Universe in essence; for as soon as man makes himself one with any idea, the means of measurement cease to exist. But his power to utilize that force is limited by his mental power and capacity, and by the circumstances of his human environment. (Illustratio…

28 The Law is for All 5. Help me, o warrior lord of Thebes, in my unveiling before the Children of men! Commentary: Here Nuit appeals, simply and directly, recog nizing the separate function of each Star of her Body. Though all is One, each part of that One has its own special work, each Star its particular Orbit. In addressing me as warrior lord of Thebes, it appears as if She perceived a certain continuity or identity of myself with Ankh-f-n- khonsu, whose Stele is the Link with Antiquity of this Revela tion.1 See Equinox 1(7), pp. 363-400,…
