CURRICULUM OF A..A.. The object of this course of reading is to familiarize the student with all that has been said by the Great Masters in every time and country. He should make a critical exam- ination of them; not so much with the idea of discovering where truth lies, for he cannot do this except by virtue of his own spiritual experience, but rather to discover the es- sential harmony in those varied works. He should be on his guard against partisanship with a favourite author. He should familiarize himself thoroughly with the method of ment…

By “Head- learning” is meant the contents of the Ruach (mind) or Manas. Chiah is sub-consciousness in its best sense, that subliminal which is sublime. The “Eye” doctrine then means the exoteric, the “Heart” doctrine the esoteric.

…e is a pure triangle, since it must be either equilateral, isosceles, or sca- lene, so every object is a miscarriage of an ideal. In the course of practice one concentrates upon a given thing, re- jecting this outer appearance and arriving at that ideal, which of course will not in any way resemble any of the objects which are its incarnations. It is with this in view that the verse tells us that the Soul must be united to the Silent Speaker. The words “Silent Speaker” may be con- sidered as a hieroglyph of the same character as LOGOS, 378, or …

That is to say, that kind of a Dhnamma-Buddha in whom such thoughts necessarily arise, thinks so; but this of course does not hap- pen, because it is not in the nature of a Dhamma-Buddha to think anything of the sort, and he even knows too much to think that it would be rather natural if there were some kinds of Dhamma-Buddha who did think something of the kind. But he is assuredly quite indifferent to the praise and blame of the ‘suffering fellow-men.’ He does not want their gratitude. We will now close this painful …

…re is only one way right, and all the rest wrong. You are to aspire to the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, and of course to do any other things which may subserve that one purpose; but nothing else. And of course it is a mistake, unless under very special circum- stances, to perform any miracles, on the ground that they diminish the supreme energy reserved for the performance of the Main Task. It will be remembered that the Knowl- edge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel is attrib- uted to Tiphareth, while the Exe…

Desire of any kind must really be conquered, for of course every desire is as it were a string on you to pull you in some direction, and it must be remembered that Nirvana lies (as it were) in no direction, like the fourth dimension in space.

These names, of course, apply to the so-called varied personalities which appeared during their shufflings back and forth; that is, their alternate appearances. It must be admitted at once that Dr. Prince has made some interesting investi- gations in this curious case, and if we grant the reality of the facts, they have very considerable psychological interest. Of course, it is hard to prove that the whole thing is not a clev…
