The Equinox (Volume III, Number I)

THE EQUINOX Dec. 5th. More and More realization of the One Truth. THOU ART THAT. Got some idea that there was only one ‘plane’ in reality, not many. Dec. 6th, 11.22 A.M. Started Neti, Neti! again. (Very near, not quite. V.I.O.) 10.45 P.M. Oh Thou Ever-present, Eternal Silence, wherein all vanishes and emerges clothed in Bliss. I Invoke Thee. Oh Thou elusive Self of my self, Thou All, wherein all dissolves and be- comes Thy Being. I invoke Thee. Oh Thou Existence of Existences, Thou Knower of Knowledge, wherein knowledge of all else is lost. I Invoke Thee. Oh Thou Bliss Absolute, Thou One without a second, Thou in Whom Time and Space no longer exist. I invoke Thee. Oh Thou, who when I think of Thee art God, who when I cease to think of Thee art My self, may I be lost in THEE. Yet never shall I be lost, for Thou Art, who art not. Oh Beloved, I come to Thee when I realize that never have I moved through all Eternity. Oh Thou, on Whom man looks through the senses, and sees as the world. Oh Thou, on Whom man looks through the mind and sees as the world of thought. Oh Thou on Whom man looks as Thyself and becomes Infinite Bliss, let there be no thought of separateness, for there is none other. Thou Art That. If I call Thee a Point, Thou laughest, saying: “I am the Infinite Circle.” If I worship the Circle, Thou laughest, saying: “I am concealed in the Point.” Only if I claim Thee Wholly, may I define Thee. Then who cares, Aye or Nay? If I attempt to name Thee, I lose Thee, Oh Thou Nameless unto Eternity, To Whom shall I reveal Thee, who wast never known but to Thyself? Surely words are vain, O Thou who art beyond the Silence. Aum. (This is very good. O.M.) Dec. 11th, 9.52-10.37 P.M. Meditation in Asana. Dragon as usual. Took a few long breaths, filling the body and mind with Love, and then ex- pelling it till it owed through me. Used Mantra: “The Self is Love. That Self am I” first part of the time, afterwards changing to “The Self is THAT, that Self am I.” 1“Not this, not this!” a Hindoo phrase used in the practice of rejecting all thoughts as they arise. 166
