THE EQUINOX acceptit. And the moment you desire to do so you have only to remember this—Look at things from the point of view of the Sun. Love is the law, love under will. 186
… the Abyss; and, as far as one can judge, the present discourse does not rise above Tiphareth. I am very sorry to have to remark at this point that Madame Blavatsky is now wholly obsessed by her own style. She indulges, much more than in the earlier part of this treatise, in poetic and romantic imagery, and in Miltonic inversion. (I do not here refer to Lycidas.) Consequently we get quite a long passage on a somewhat obvious point, and the Evil Persona or Dweller of the Threshold is introduced. However, it is a correct enough place. That Dwelle…
…ATHP ECTIN HO HUIOC DIA TO IINEUMA HAGION. AUMN. AUMN. AUMN. He replaces the left-hand part of the Host. The PriestEss extends the Lance-point with her left hand to receive the particle. The PRIEST clasps the Cup in his left hand. Together they depress the Lance-point in the Cup. THE PRIEST anv THE Priestess. HRILIU. The PRIEST takes the Lance. The Priestess covers the Cup. 2607
… him, soaring aloft like the Phang, and sailing gloriously through innumerable Gates of High Initiation, nevertheless keeps his original Point of View, like a Bourbon. He is always getting rid of Illusions, but, like the entourage of the Cardinal Lord Archbishop of Rheims after he cursed the thief, nobody seems one penny the worse—or the better. Probably the best way to take the whole treatise is to assume that it is written for the absolute tyro, with a good deal between the lines for the more advanced mystic. This will excuse, to the mahatma-…
…which seems little or nothing to the beginner, becomes a great and terrible fountain of iniquity, and the higher he goes, up toa certain point, the point of definitive victory, the more that is the case. The beginner can think, ‘it is ten o’clock,’ and dismiss the thought. To the mind of the adept this sentence will awaken all its possible correspondences, all the reflec- tions he has ever made on time, as also accidental sympa- thetics like Mr. Whistler’s essay; and if he is sufficiently far advanced, all these thoughts in their hundreds and t…
THE EQUINOX form of Samadhi was at his fingers’ ends, had none. The point is very important, because on this theory the latter, after all his attainments, might pass through all the Dhyana- Lokas and through the Arupa-Brahma-Lokas, exhaust that Karma, be re-incarnated as a Spirochzetes Pallida, and have to begin all over again. And the most virtuous Bhikkhu might be so unfortunate as to fall from Virtue the millionth part of a second before his point on the circumference of the sphere was going to touch that of the wheel of Nibbana, regain it t…
…anakaya body is the ‘Body of Light’ as described in Book 4, Part III. But it is to be considered as having been developed to the highest point possible that is compatible with incarnation. The Sambhogakaya has ‘three perfections’ added, so- called. These would prevent incarnation. The Dharmakaya body is what may be described as the final sublimation of an individual. It is a bodiless flame on the point of mingling with the infinite flame. A description 54
…ill as being what they are. They will no longer appear pleasant and attractive, but as bonds, as shames. And when you have attained this point, know that you have passed the Middle Gate of this Path. For you will have uni- fied your Will. Even thus, were a man sitting in a theatre where the play wearies him, he would welcome every distraction, and find amusement in any accident: but if he were intent upon the play, every such incident would annoy him. His attitude to these is then an indication of his attitude towards the play itself. At first …
… open, the right hand and the left. These are described at length in Liber 418, and we must refer the Student to that book. But the main point is that on the right hand path, stripping self, the Adept becomes Nemo, the Master of the Temple, and re- turns across the abyss, or rather is flung forth, and appears in the Heaven of Jupiter—or sphere of another planet—as a morning Star or an evening Star to bring light to them that dwell upon the earth. On the left hand Path, the Adept, wishing to keep all that he has, shuts himself up in a Tower of S…
…k that what she says in this sub-section refers to a statement which I got from my Guru in Madura to the effect that there was a certain point in the body suitable for meditation, which, if once discovered, drew the thought naturally towards itself, the difficulty of concen- tration consequently disappearing, and that the knowledge of this particular point could be communicated by the Guru to his approved disciples. (Subsection VII.) We now find a muddle between the keys and the gates. The first five are all obviously keys. The last two seem to…
…at they did any valuable work at all, and quote their controversies, such as that con- cerning the number of angels who can dance on the point of a needle, as examples of their complete fatuity and donnish- ness. In point of fact, it is the critic who is stupid. The question about the angels involves the profoundest consider- 89
… two wheels, one of which is the wheel of Nibbana, and the other that of the attainment of the Adept. These two wheels only touch at one point. Now the Arhat may reach the cir- cumference of his wheel, that is, the summit of his attain- ment, as often as he likes, but unless he happens to do so at the moment when that point touches the wheel of Nibbana, he will not become an Arhat, and it is therefore necessary for him to remain at that summit as long as possible, in fact always, in order that bye and bye—it might be after many incarnations of …
…to tyranny, respond! By the martyred Master, dare Death, and what may lie beyond! Heel on crucifix, deny! Mouth to dagger-blade, affirm! Point to throat, we stab the spy; Hand on knee, we crush the worm.
…as Thyself and becomes Infinite Bliss, let there be no thought of separateness, for there is none other. Thou Art That. If I call Thee a Point, Thou laughest, saying: “I am the Infinite Circle.” If I worship the Circle, Thou laughest, saying: “I am concealed in the Point.” Only if I claim Thee Wholly, may I define Thee. Then who cares, Aye or Nay? If I attempt to name Thee, I lose Thee, Oh Thou Nameless unto Eternity, To Whom shall I reveal Thee, who wast never known but to Thyself? Surely words are vain, O Thou who art beyond the Silence. Aum.…
…eart, the Father’s face, All that was agony or bliss, Stretched an infinite abyss. All that behind me! but my soul, With no star left to point the pole, Witless and banned of grace or goal, Beggared of all its wealth, bereft Of all its images, unweft Its magic web, its tools all broken, Its Name forgot, its Word unspoken,
…shes this view in his pate. His method of investigating India is the method of Count Smorltork; but Count Smorltork was a gentleman. His point of view is so ignorant and so bourgeois, that I am forced to quote pas- sages, lest it should not be believed that any biped could print such rottenness, “This senseless reduplication to infinity of one mincing, prancing figure pro- duces an indescribably nightmare-like effect; and what can be said for it, from the point of view either of art or of religion, I, for my part, cannot conceive. Who the figur…
…Love, and it will flow out of its own accord. O.M.) Nov. 27. Letter from Chancellor of A.A. Was glad to receive this, as it cleared up a point that had long troubled me. Note: This was the point re Astral journeys, mentioned before. (This gave Fra. V.I.O. fresh confidence, and we find records of experiments at once. Ed.) Nov. 27, 11.6 to 11.28 P. M. Astral Journey. Rising on the Planes. Will try and recount this experience in detail as it was somewhat different from any 163
…h Degree is, in military language, the Great General Staff of the Army of the Sixth Degree. From its members the Supreme and Holy King appoints a Supreme Grand Council. “This Council is charged with the government of the whole of the Second Triad, or Lovers. All members of the Seventh Degree travel as Sovereign Grand Inspectors General of the Order, and report, on their own initiative, to the Supreme and Most Holy King, as to the condition of all Lodges, and Chap- ters; to the Supreme Council, on all affairs of the Second Triad; and to the Elec…
…ties are said to have shown varied characteristics (as is invariably the case) and to be essentially dif- ferent, from the psychological point-of-view. As usual, also, several of them developed as the result of emotional shock, and disappeared under hypnosis and psychological treatment; one by one they were eliminated, until only “Real Doris” survived,—with traces of “Sleeping Margaret” persisting, as a sort of undercurrent of reality. These names, of course, apply to the so-called varied personalities which appeared during their shufflings bac…
THE TWO PATHS [FRAGMENT 11] 1. And now, O Teacher of Compassion, point thou the way to other men. Behold all those who, knocking for ad- mission, await [s] in ignorance and darkness to see the gate of the Sweet Law flung open! This begins with the word “And,” rather as if it were a sequel to the “VOICE OF THE SILENCE.” It should not be assumed that this is the case. However, assuming that the first Fragment explains the Path as far as Master of the Temple, it is legitimate to regard this second Fragment, so called, as the further instruction; f…
