JOHN ST. JOHN
And indeed, though I tried to continue the mantra
with its high aspiration to know Adonai, I must have
slept almost at once.
The Third Day
Now the day being gloriously broken, I awoke with some
weariness, not feeling clean and happy, not burning with
love unto my Lord Adonai, though ashamed indeed
for that thrice or four times in the night I had been
awakened by this loyal body, urging me to rise and
meditate—and my weak will bade it be at ease and
take its rest—oh, wretched man! slave of the hour and
of the worm

Fifteen cycles of Prana Yama put me right mentally
and physically:

Have breakfasted—a pear and two Garibaldis.
(These

Have smoked a pipe to show that I'm not in a hurry.
Hanged Man with mantra in Visuddhi.
Thought
I had been much longer.
At one point the Spirit
began to move—how the devil else can Ι express it?
The consciousness seemed to flow, instead of pattering.
Is that clear?

essential
difference in the Operation of the Moslem
and Hindu mantrams.
The latter boom; the former
ripple.
I have never tried the former at all seriously
until now.
