I gave up, and tried playing the fool; got
amused by the New Monster, but did not perform the
“Vajroli Mudra.”

hardly begun,
My head really aches a good deal.
I must add one or two remarks,
In my walk I dis-
covered that my mantra Hua allahu, etc., really belongs
to the Visuddhi Cakkram; so I allowed the thought to
concentrate itself there.
[The Visuddhi-Cakkram:
the “nerve
centre,” in
Hindu mystic physiology,
opposite the larynx.——ED.]
Also, since others are to read this, one must mention
that almost from the beginning of this Working of
Magick Art the changed aspect of the world whose
culmination is the keeping of the oath “ I will inter-
pret every phenomenon as a particular dealing of God
with my soul ” was present with me.
This aspect is
difficult to describe; one is indifferent to everything
and yet interested in it.
The meaning of things is
lost, pending the inception of their Spiritual Meaning;
just as, on putting one’s eye to the microscope, the
drop of water on the slide is gone, and a world of life
discovered, though the real import of that world is not
apprehended, until one’s knowledge becomes far greater
than a single glance can make it.
