94 Study of these books will give a thorough grounding in the intel- lectual side of Their system. After three months the Student is examined in these books, and if his knowledge of them is found satisfactory, he may become a Pro- bationer, receiving Liber LXI and the secret holy book, Liber LXV. The principal point of this grade is that the Probationer has a master appointed, whose experience can guide him in his work. He may select any practices that he prefers, but in any case must keep an exact record, so that he may discover the relation o…

A NOTE HIS book is intentionally not the work of Frater Perdurabo. Ex- perience shows that his writing is too concentrated, too abstruse, too occult, for ordinary minds to apprehend. It is thought that this record of disjointed fragments of his casual conversation may prove alike more intelligible and more convincing, and at least provide a pre- liminary study which will enable the student to attack his real work from a standpoint of some little general knowledge and understanding of his ideas, and of the form in which he figures them. Part II, …

…hat cannot be verified in the usual manner; or where this is not easy, at least avoid anything like a dogmatic statement. In Their second book of practical instruction, Liber 0, occur these words: “By doing certain things certain results will follow. Students are most earnestly warned against attributing objective reality or philo- sophical validity to any of them.” Those golden words! In discussing Dhyana, then, let it be clearly understood that some- thing unexpected is about to be described. We shall consider its nature and estimate its value…

…ately dealt with in “Thien Tao” in “ Konx Om Pax," and should be there studied. Also see Liber XXX of the A. A. Also in Liber CCXX, the “Book of the Law,” it is said: “ DO WHAT THOU WILT shall be the Whole ofthe Law.” Remember that for the purpose of this treatise the Whole object of Yama and Niyama is to live so that no emotion or passion disturbs the mind.)

…therefore not trouble at all about what any Samadhi may or may not bring as far as its results in our lives are concerned. We began this book, it will be remembered, with considerations of death. Death has now lost all meaning. The idea of death depends on those of the ego, and of time; these ideas have been destroyed; and so “ Death is swallowed up in victory.” We shall now only be interested in what Samadhi is in itself, and in the conditions which cause it. Let us try a final definition. Dhyana resembles Samadhi in many respects. There is a un…

…ur progress, for we shall find that (as in all physio- logical matters) meditation cannot be gauged by the feelings, We shall have a note-book and pencil, and we shall also have a watch. We shall then endeavour to count how often, during the first quarter of an hour, the mind breaks away from the idea upon which it is determined to concentrate. We shall practice this twice daily; and, as we go, ex- perience will teach us which conditions are favourable and which not. Before we have been doing this for very long we are almost certain to get impati…

…apparently get worse and worse. Please understand that in doing this practice you are sup- posed to be seated in Asana, and to have note-book and pencil by your side, and a watch in front of you. You are not to practise at first for more than ten minutes at a time, so as to avoid risk of overtiring the brain. In fact you will probably find that the Whole of your will-power is not equal to keeping to a sub- ject at all for so long as three minutes, or even apparently con— centrating on it for so long as three seconds, or three-fifths of one second.…
