Book 4 (Part I)

12 external influences are likely to be unfavourable. New faces, new scenes will disjturb us ; even the new habits of life which we undertake for this very purpose of controlling the mind will at first tend to upset it. Still, we must give up our habit of eating too much, and follow the natural rule of only eating when we are hungry, listening to the interior voice which tells us that we have had enough. The same rule applies to sleep. We have determined to control our minds, and so our time for meditation must take precedence of other hours. We …

The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

STEPPING OUT OF THE OLD AON INTO THE NEW Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. As all of you should know, we have entered a New Zon. A Higher Truth has been given to the World. This truth is waiting in readiness for all those who will consciously accept it, but it has to be realised before it is understood, and day by day those who have accepted this Law, and are trying to live it, realize more and more of its Beauty and Perfection. The new teaching appears strange at first; and the mind is unable to grasp more than a fragment of wha…

An Appeal to the American Republic

Clasp hands, O fair republic of the west, And leave the kingdoms to their sudden fate. With new-born love and ardour unrepressed, Let Lethe steep in its unquiet rest The old years whose red hands have made us great. O fair republic, strong and swift, unbind The shackles of thy mind : More than our kin ye are ; henceforth not less than kind. Bind on the splendid sandals, and unloose The burning horses, and fling wide the reins ! From cold Archangel unto Syracuse Europe shall see and tremble and ask truce, And new blood pour through Asia’s wasted…

In Residence

HUT V. HOTEL I LOVE the birds that swell Their songs of divers flutes ; But I hate the new hotel And all its civilised brutes. I love the streams that pour With loud melodious throat ; But I hate the ill-bred roar Of the evening table d’héte. I love the mountains proud That throng on their thrones of snow; But I hate the snobbish crowd That throng in the hole below. I love in the hut to dwell, With its maze of mountain routes ; But I hate the new hotel, And all its civilised brutes. 49

The Book of Lies

KE®AAH AO THE LOOBY of which one set is absurdity, the other truism, a new function of brain is established. Vague and mysterious and all indefinite are the contents of this new consciousness; yet they are somehow vital. By use they be- come luminous. Unreason becomes Experience. This lifts the leaden-footed Soul to the Ex- perience of THAT of which Reason is the blasphemy. But without that Experience these words are the Lies of a Looby. Yet a Looby to thee, and a Booby to me, a Balassius Ruby to GOD, may be!

Liber Aleph

… a Heretic; the Poet and cast him out as Reprobate; the Painter, as deforming Nature, the Musician, as denying Harmony; and so for every New Word. How much more, then, if the Word be of Universal Import, a Word of Revolution and of Revelation in the Deep of the Soul? A new Star; that is for the Astronomers, and maybe setteth them by he Ears. But a new Sun! That were for all Men; and a Seed of Tumult and Upheavel in every Land. consider in thyself, herefore, what is the Might of the Adepts, the Energy of the Sancturary, that can endow one Man wi…
