The warm breath magnetizes positively, and the cold breath negatively. A warm and prolonged insufflation upon the spinal column at the base of the cerebellum may occasion erotic phenomena.

Liber Aleph

LIBER ALEPH VEL CXI 146 Eo De Virtute Tolerantiæ (Of the Power of Tolerance) NDERSTAND then heartily, o my Son, that in the Light of this my Wisdom all Things are one, being of the Body or our Lady Nuith, proper, necessary and perfect. There is then none superfluous or harmful, and there is none honourable or dishonourable more than another. Lo! In thine own Body, the vile Intestine is of more worth to thee than the noble Hand or the Proud eye, for thou canst lose these and live, but not that. Esteem therefore a Thing in relation to thine own W…

Let the pulsations of my heart be strong and regular and slow! Let my brain be wakeful and active in its supreme task of self-control! That my desired end may be effected through Thy strength, Adonai, unto Whom be the Glory for ever! Amen without lie, and Amen, and Amen of Amen. I now proceed to the Hammam.? ,.ס11 24

… did thirty-two cycles, easy and pleasant; could have gone on indefinitely. The muscles went rigid, prac— tically of their own accord; so light did I feel that I almost thought myself to be “that wise one ” who “can balance himself on his thumb.” Sleep is con- quered right away from the word “jump.” Indeed, if Satan trembles when he sees The weakest saint upon his knees ; then surely : Satan flees, exclaiming “ Damn !" When any saint starts Pranayam ! So happy, indeed, was I in the practice that I devoted myself by the Waiting formula to Adonai ;…

Liber Aleph

…Serpent, Scorpion) HREEFOLD is the Nature of Life, Eagle, Serpent, and Scorpion. And of these the Scorpion is he that, having no Lion of Light and of Courage within him, seemeth to himself encircled by Fire, and, driving his Sting into himself, he dieth. Such are the Black Brothers, that cry: I am I, they that deny Love, restricting it to their own Nature. But the Serpent is the secret Nature of Man, that is Life and Death, and maketh his Way through the Generations in Silence. And the Eagle is that Might of Live which is the Key of Magick, upl…

Jephthah and Other Mysteries

86 MYSTERIES : From its dull olive to a perfect white. For scarce an hour the golden rim of light Tinges the southward bergs; for scarce an hour The sun puts forth his seasonable flower, And only for a little while the wind Wakes at his coming, and beats cold and blind On the wild sea that struggles to release The hard grip from its throat, and lie at ease Lapped in the eternal summer. But its waves Roam through the solitude of empty caves In vain, no faster wheels the moon above, And still reluctant fly the hours of love. It is so peaceful in …

For, dazzled as he is by the blinding brilliance of this morning’s Spiritual Sun, which yet he beheld but darkly, to him now even the light of earth seems dark. Reason the rudder was long since unshipped; the power 01 his personality has broken down, yet under the tiny storm-sail 01 his Will to Adonai, the crazy bark holds way, steered by the car of Discip…

… out that " The most mystic of discourses informs us—His wholeness is in the Supra—Mundane Order ; for there a Solar World and Boundless Light subsist, as the Oracles of the Chaldeans affirm.” Not very helpful, is it? As if divination could ever help on such exalted planes ! As if the trumpery elementals that operate these things possessed the Secrets of the Destiny of an Adept, or could help him in his agony! For this reason, divination should be discarded from the start : it is only a “ mere toy, the basis of mercenary fraud ” as Zoroaster mor…

Ambergris

AMBERGRIS 97 Some rosebud in the garden of spices blows, Some offshoot from the Rose Of the World, the Rose of all Delight, The Rose of Dew, the Rose of Love and Night. The Rose of Silence, covering as with a vesture The solemn unity of things Beheld in the mirror of truth, The Rose indifferent to God’s gesture, The Rose on moonlight wings That flies to the House of Fire, The Rose of Honey in Youth ! Ah ! No dim mystery of desire Fathoms this gulf ! No light invades The mystical musical shades Of a faith in the future, a dream of the day When a…

Calmly in Thy silence am I come to rest me, Now from the world the light hath slowly faded ; I have left the groves of Pan that I might gaze upon Thee, Gaze upon the Virgin that before Time was begotten, Mother of Chronos, and the old gods before him, Child of the womb of the Si…

COMPASSION is really a certain Chinese figure whose names are numerous. One of them is BAPHOMET. 95. Such is the Arya Path, Path of the Buddhas of per- fection. This closes the subject. 96. Withal, what mean the sacred scrolls which make thee say: “Om! I believe it is not all the Arhats that get of the Nir- vanic Path the sweet fruition.” “Om! I believe that the Nirvana-Dharma is …

Beneath the throne the surging flames are steady. She bears a wand in her left hand; but it is topped with a cone suggestive of the mysteries of Bacchus. She is attended by a couchant leopard upon whose head she lays her hand. Her face expresses the ecstasy of one whose mind is well in‐drawn to the mystery borne beneath her bosom. The characteristics of the Queen are adaptability, …
