THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Before this is merely the Concealed At Home with its distinction of gift and graft, and very vagueness, where Apollo and Diana took the place of Mercury. Scortillum, ut mihi tum repente visumst, Non sane inlepidum neque invenustum. Huc ut venimus incidere nobis Sermones varii. (This means something!

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING no work is done. There was, however, much question of his position in the mystic hierarchy. He had the highest attainment known—and what did it amount to? In the meantime Fra. D. D. S. himself must have attained Samadhi —presumably Atmadarshana—for we find this entry.) Dec. 7. D. D. S. writes from Samadhi—Dhatu. (Dhatu—literally “ element "—is a word chosen to avoid such implications as would be conveyed by “place," “state," and such words.) ,, 8. D. D. S. still in Samadhi. ,, 10. D. D. S. dined with me.

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING The same remarks apply to the next three sections in the other quarters. At the great invocation following he extends the Shivalingam to infinite height, each letter of each word representing an exaltation of it by geometrical progression. Having seen this satisfactorily, he prostrates himself in adoration. When consciousness begins to return, he uses the final formula to raise that consciousness in the Shivalingam, springing to his feet at the moment of uniting himself with it, and lastly uttering that supreme song…
