MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS 
finally to the Sun, where they are composed of pure Fire. 
Eliphaz Levi says: "In the Suns we remember; in the planets 
we forget." 
Most of this is the merest speculation, useless and possibly 
harmful; but I don't mind relaxing occasionally to that 
extent. 
What is important is the Oath. 
One who is vowed to the A :. A:. 's Mission for Mankind, 
who takes it dead seriously, and who will be neither 
frightened nor bored from Its majestic purpose, may at any 
time bind himself by an Oath to reject the rewards of 
Devachan, and reincarnate immediately again and again. By 
"immediately" is meant about 6 months before the birth of 
the new Adept, about 3 months after his last death . It 
depends to some extent, no doubt, on whether he can find a 
suitable vehicle. Presumably, he will make some sort of 
preparation while still alive. It seems that I personally must 
have taken this Oath quite a long while ago; for the 
Incarnations which I actually remember leave very few gaps 
to be filled in the last dozen centuries or so. 
Now, dear sister, I don't like this letter at all, and I am 
sorry that I had to write it. For most of these statements are 
insusceptible of proof. 
And yet I feel their truth much more strongly than I have 
ventured to express. How many times have I warned you 
against 'feelings'? 
Love is the law, love under will. 
Yours fraternally,
