THE EQUINOX 12.3. Ekam emm 6117421411/?!!!)'דfriend Satan! One and not two. Hua alla/zu alazz' [dild/La illa Hua ! But what shall be my " considerations” for this week? I am so absolutely become as a pantomorphous Iynx that all things look alike to me; there are just as many pros and cons to Pranayama as to Ceremonial, etc. etc., —and the pros and cons are so numerous and far- reaching that I simply dare not start discussing even one. I can see an endless avenue in every case. In short, like the hashish-drunkard in full blast, I am overwhelmed by the multitude of my own magical Images. I have become the great Magician—Mayan, the Maker of Illusion——the Lord of the Brethren of the Left—hand Path. I don’t “wear my iniquity as an aureole, deathless in Spiritual Evil," as Mr. Waite thinks; but it’s nearly as bad as that. There seems only one reply to this great question of the Hunchback (I like to symbolise the spirit of Questioning by “ב-"?? little crooked thing that asks questions) and that is to keep on affirming Adonai, and refusing to be obsessed by any images of discipline or magic. Ofcourse 1 but this is just the difficulty—as it was in the Beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end! My beautiful answer to the question, How will you become a millionaire? is: I will possess a million pounds. The “answer" is not an answer; it is a begging of the question. What a fool I am! and people think me clever. Ergo, perhaps!
