…Life’s miserable lie. I broke that silence, and afraid I knew not what I prayed . . . . . . Let peace awaken for an hour And manifest as power . . . . . . Cease not the dance unceasing, The glance nor swerve nor cease, Thy peace by power increasing In me by power to peace. Desunt cetera. [The MS. of this Hymn most mysteriously disappeared two days after being written. I can remember no more of it than the above; nor will inspiration return.]

Book 4 (Part I)

SI However, the main point is to acquire some sort of in- hibitory power over the thoughts. Fortunately there is an unfailing method of acquiring this power. It is given in Liber III. If Sections I and 2 are practised (if necessary with the assistance of another person to aid your vigilance) you will soon be able to master the final section. In some people this inhibitory power may flower suddenly in very much the same way as occurred with Asana. Quite without any relaxa- tion of vigilance, the mind will suddenly he stilled. There will be a marve…

…d it. Ihave not the volume at my side, living as I am this her- mit life in New Hampshire, but its gist is that Kings and Popes have not power to redeem the world because they sur- round themselves with splendour and dignity. They possess all that other men desire, and therefore their motives are suspect. If any person of position, says Levi, insists upon living a life of hardship and inconvenience when he could do otherwise, then men will trust him, and he will be able to execute his projects for the general good of the common- wealth. But he …

The Catholic Church , the harlot of the seven hills , comes in for sparse mercy . In Tannhäuser we find the head of this infallible …

POWER AND AUTHORITY 377 the fact that despite all appearances one has been watched and guarded from a higher plane. I might say, in fact, that one such experience of the secret guardianship of the Chiefs of the Order is worth a thousand apparently sufficient witnesses to the facts. I would have you lay this closely to your heart , dear Sister, and moreover always to keep in mind what I have written in this letter so that you may be able to recognize when the occasion arises how much better evidence of the power and intelligence of the Order is …

I suspect that your question contemplated not so much Power as powers: things like healing the sick, making oneself invisible, kindling a flame without combustibles, bewitching the neighbours' cows, spoiling your friend's honeymoon, fascinations of all kinds, levitation, lycanthropy, necromancy, all the regular stuff ot the legends and the fables. Most of these matters are discussed in Magick; so …

O single sacrifice On thine own altar : let thy savour steam Up, through the domes of broken Paradise ; Up, by Euphrates’ unimagined stream ; Up, by strange river and mysterious lawn To some impossible diadem of dawn !

But, having obtained this power, it is, of course, legitimate to rise to any particular plane that may be necessary for the purpose of exploration, as in the case of the visions recorded in Liber 418, where the method may be described as mixed. In such a case, it is not enough to invoke the place you wish to visit, because you may not be able to endure its pressure, or to breathe its atmosphèr…

EF shows the Power of Observation of the contents of the mind, improving quickly at first, afterwards more slowly, up to perfection at F. It starts well above zero in the case of most educated men. The height of the perpendiculars HI indicates the dissatisfaction of the student with his power of control. Increasing at first, it ultimately diminishes to zero.
