… phase, and is even as music. Yet in the attainment of this Life you will already have experienced that the Quintessence thereof is pure Light, an ecstacy formless, and without bound or mark. In this Light naught exists, for It is homogeneous: and therefore have men called it Silence, and Darkness, and Nothing. But in this, as in all other effort to name it, is the root of every fal- sity and misapprehension, since all words imply some dual- ity. Therefore, though I call it Light, it is not Light, nor absence of Light. Many also have sought to …

THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE 32. This light shines from the jewel of the Great En- snarer (Mara). The senses it bewitches, blinds the mind, and leaves the unwary an abandoned wreck. Iam inclined to believe that most of Blavatsky’s notes are intended as blinds. “Light” such as is described has a tech- nical meaning. It would be too petty to regard Mara as a Christian would regard a man who offered him a cigarette. The supreme and blinding light of this jewel is the great vision of Light. It is the light which streams from the threshold of Nirvana, a…

…y means of a word or a gesture, being initiated to apprehension by the subtlety of the drug. So may I that am inflamed with love of this Light, and drunken on the wine Ethereal of this Light, communicate not so much with your reason and intelligence, but with that principle hidden in yourself which is ready to partake with me. Even so may man and woman become mad with love, no word being spoken between them, because of the induction (as it were) of their souls. And your understanding will depend upon your ripeness for perception of my Truth. Mo…

THE EQUINOX By Light shall ye look upon yourselves, and behold All Things that are in Truth One Thing only, whose name hath been called No Thing for a cause which later shall be de- clared unto you. But the substance of Light is Life, since without Existence and Energy it were naught. By Life therefore are you made yourselves, eternal and incorrup- tible, flaming forth as suns, self-created and self-supported, each the sole centre of the Universe. Now as by Light ye beheld, by Love ye feel. There is an ecstacy of pure Knowledge, and another of …

Important, as indicating the attainment of a mystical state, in which you are not only involved in an action, but apart fromit. There is a higher state described in the Bha- gavad Gita. “I who am all, and made it all, abide its sepa- rate Lord.” 83. Thou art acquainted with the five impediments, O blessed one. Thou art their conqueror, the Master of the sixth, de…

…written also the Mystery of Harpocrates. One must become the ‘Unconscious’ (of Jung), the Phallic or Divine Child or Dwarf-Self. 71. The light from the ONE MASTER, the one unfading golden light of Spirit, shoots its effulgent beams on the Dis- ciple from the very first. Its rays thread through the thick, dark clouds of Matter. The Holy Guardian Angel is already aspiring to union with the Disciple, even before his aspiration is formulated in the latter. 72. Now here, now there, these rays illumine it, like sun- sparks light the earth through the…

…Great Heresy.” Develops still further these remarks. 18. This earth, O ignorant Disciple, is but the dismal en- trance leading to the twilight that precedes the valley of true light—that light which no wind can extinguish, that light which burns without a wick or fuel. “Twilight” here may again refer to Atmadarshana. The last phrase is borrowed from Eliphas Levi, who was not (I believe) a Tibetan of antiquity. [Madame Blavatsky hu- 15

… the yielding and elastic turf and moss with lyrical dances? To him who lives in Life naught matters: his is eternal mo- tion, energy, delight of never-failing Change: unwearied, you pass on from zon to zon, from star to star, the Universe your playground, its infinite variety of sport ever old and ever new. All those ideas which bred sorrow and fear are known in their truth, and thus become the seed of joy: for you are certain beyond all proof that you can never die; that, though you change, change is part of your own nature: the Great Enemy i…

…eek for him who is to give thee birth, in the Hall of Wisdom, the Hall which lies beyond, wherein all shadows are unknown, and where the light of truth shines with un- fading glory. This apparently means that the only reliable Guru is one who has attained the grade of Magister Templi. For the attainments of this grade consult Equinox I. V. Supple- ment, etc. 31. That which is uncreate abides in thee, Disciple, as it abides in that Hall. If thou would’st reach it and blend the two, thou must divest thyself of thy dark garments of illu- sion. Sti…

Wolf’s bane is not so sharp as steel; yet it pierceth the body more subtly. 14. Even as evil kisses corrupt the blood, so do my words devour the spirit of man. 15. I breathe, and there is infinite dis-ease in the spirit. 16. As an acid eats into steel, as a cancer that utterly corrupts the body; so am I unto the spirit of man. 17. Ishall not rest until …

… a man are but Ejidola, and this true creative force is the Virya of which we are now speaking. 50. Thy Soul-gaze centre on the One Pure Light, the Light that is free from affection, and use thy golden key. This Virya is the one pure light spoken of in this verse. It is called “free from affection.” It creates without desire, simply because it is its nature to create. It is this force in one’s self of which one must become conscious in this stage. 109

…Universe is therein, what then is possible but that it return to its own First Intention, dissolv- ing itself little by little into that Light which is its most se- cret and most subtle Nature? For this Universe is in Truth Zero, being an equation whereof Zero is the sum. Whereof this is the proof, that if not, it would be unbalanced, and something would have come from Nothing, which is absurd. This Light or Noth- ing is then the Resultant or Totality thereof in pure Perfec- tion; and all other states, positive or negative, are imperfect, since…

…issociate the beings which make up your life. Firstly, because it is easiest, you should segregate that Form which is called the Body of Light (and also by many other names) and set yourself to travel in this Form, making systematic exploration of those worlds which are to other material things what your own Body of Light is to your own material form. Now it will occur to you in these travels that you come to many Gates which you are not able to pass. This is because your Body of Light is itself as yet not strong enough, or subtle enough, or pu…

…ow that it is not the Sun which rises and sets, but the earth on which we live which revolves so that its shadow cuts us off from the sunlight during what we call night. The Sun does not die, as the ancients thought; It is always shining, always radiating Light and Life. Stop for a moment and get a clear conception of this Sun, how He is shining in the early morning, shining at mid-day, shining in the evening, and shining in the night. Have you got this idea clearly in your minds? You have stepped out of the Old Zon into the New. : Now let us c…

…t only to wed woe—if thou would’ st be Tathagata, follow upon thy predecessor's steps, remain unselfish till the endless end. Thou art enlightened—choose thy way. The anti-climax is now complete. Knowledge is by no means the last step. Knowledge has been finished with even by the Master of the Temple, and all this question of wedding woe, remaining unselfish till the endless end, is but poetic bombast, based upon misconception. It is as puerile as the crude conceptions of many Christian Sects. 100. Behold, the mellow light that floods the Easte…

Yea, cried the Holy One, and from Thy spark will I the Lord kindle a great light; I will burn through the great city in the old and desolate land; I will cleanse it from its great impurity. 4. And thou, O prophet, shalt see these things, and thou shalt heed them not. 5. Now is the Pillar established in the Void; now is Asi fulfilled of Asar; now is Ho…
