…mp The congealed Spirit of Man into the pit, Save that, unquenchable because unlit, The Love of God burns steady, like a Lamp. It burns! beyond the sands, beyond the stars. It burns! beyond the bands, beyond the bars, And so the Expanse of Mystery veil by veil Burns inward, plume on plume still folding over The dissolved heart of the amazéd lover— The angel wings over the Holy Grail!

Thou who art I, beyond all I am, Who hast no nature and no name, Who art, when all but thou are gone, Thou, centre and secret of the Sun, Thou, hidden spring of all things known And unknown, Thou aloof, alone, Thou, the true fire within the seed Brooding and breeding, source and seed Of life, love, liberty, and light, Thou beyond speech and beyond sight, Thee I invoke, my faint fresh fire Kindling as mine intents aspire.

Drawn, drawn, inevitably spanned, Tirelessly drawn by some strange hand, Drawn inward in some sense unkenned Beyond all to an appointed end, No end foreseen or hoped, drawn still Beyond word or will Into Itself, drawn subtly, deep Through the dreamless deaths whose shadow is sleep, Drawn, as dawn shows, to the inmost divine, To the temple, the nave, the choir, the shrine, To the altar where in the most holy cup The wine of its blood may be offered up. Nor is it given to any son of man To hymn that Sacrament, the One …
… previous to the ‘REAL’ referred to above. SAT itself is an illusion. Some schools of philosophy have a higher ASAT, Not-Being, which is beyond SAT, and consequently is to Shivadarshana as SAT isto Atmadarshana. Nirvana is beyond both these. 9. Before the Soul can see, the Harmony within must be attained, and fleshly eyes be rendered blind to all illusion. By the “Harmony within” is meant that state in which neither objects of sense, nor physiological sensations, nor emotions, can disturb the concentration of thought. II
LIBER CORDIS CINCTI SERPENTE 27. If I say Come up upon the mountains! the celestial waters flow at my word. But thou art the Water beyond the waters. 28.

…ning to the conditions of Nirvana. Partly it is the fault of language, partly it is due to the fact that the condition of Arhat is quite beyond thought. He is beyond the Abyss, and there a thing is only true in so far as it is self-contradictory. The Arhat has no self to be blissful.

…blood, which is explained in Liber 418. The higher Ego—“Holy Isle’”—is not the thinking self; it is the ‘“Dwarf-Self,” the self which is beyond thinking. The aspirant is now in fact beyond all thought, and this talk of building high the wall or dam is too much like poetry to be good sense. What it means is, “Beware lest the re- awakened Ego, the Chiah, should become self-conscious, as it is liable to do owing to its wedding with Neshamah.” Or, shall we say, with Nephesh? For the organism has now been brought to perfect harmony in all its parts.…

O my adorable, my delicious one, all night will I pour out the libation on Thine altars; all night will I burn the sac- rifice of blood; all night will I swing the thurible of my de- light before Thee, and the fervour of the orisons shall in- toxicate Thy nostrils. 46. O Thou who camest from the land of the Elephant, g…

Walk forth with us in Light and Life and Love and Liberty, taking our pleasure as Kings and Queens in Heaven and on Earth.

The moon had sunk behind the tower When, for a moment, by the power Of nature, as even the eagle’s eye Turns wearied from the sun, did I Fall from the conning-crag, that springs Above the Universe of Things, Into the dark impertinence Of the mirrored lies of sense. Yet, when I sought the stars to espy And ree the runes of destiny,…
…onsequently take especial pains to discount the obligation, and I may be relied upon to say the worst of Patience Worth. It is, I think, beyond all question the most interesting of the records ‘purporting to be the utterance of the stiff. There is an unquestionable personality in Patience Worth with perhaps no one beyond the scope of “subliminal Mrs. Curran” and the hypothesis is reasonable since Mrs. Curran is always at the board when Patience manifests. To me it seems a much simpler hypothesis to suppose that Patience is Mrs. Curran’s sub-con…
