IN THE TEMPLE Tue subtle-souled dim radiant queen Burns like a bale-fire through the mist; The slender earth is bright and green, Emerald, gray and amethyst; The wavering breeze has slowly kissed The way between Her zone and wrist. Pale guardian of the altar-flame, Syren of old, perfidious song, A murmuring runnel lately came In streaming hate of mortal wrong. Wait, for, my goddess, not for long The snake is tame. . . . See! He is strong! The wide-set temple-pillars gleam, As marble white, and tall as pines; The doorway to immortal dream Lies t…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING impressions, but remains as an undercurrent. After several days of this desultory Mahasatipatthana, he turned his mind once again to the Great Work and decided upon a fortnight’s strict magical retirement. Though his retirement culminated in no definite state of illumination, it is most interesting from a scientific point of view, as it has been very carefully kept and the “breaks” that occurred in the meditations have been most minutely classified. June 22nd. 10.20 p.m. Mahasatipatthana for half an hour. (1) Brea…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING taught to expect. Indeed its translation into worldly comments was a matter of education, so it came about that he discovered that the Great Attainment fer se was identical in all systems irrespective of the symbol man sought it under. Thus Yah- weh as a clay phallus in a band-box was as mucha reality to the Jews of Genesis as Brahman in Brahma-loka was to the Aryas of Vedic India; that the vision of Moses when he beheld God as a burning bush is similar to the vision of the fire-flashing Courser of the Chaldean Or…

Working upon Eastern lines he had laid stone upon stone, and yet when the work was completed, magnificent though it was, there was no God yet found to indwell it. It was indeed but an empty house. Though we have now arrived at this turning point, it will be necessary before we review the contents of this chapter to narrate the events from the present date—March 1902, down to the 11th of August 1903; when, by the chance (destined) meeting with Ouar…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING of Enjoyment, Religion and Knowledge are expounded at some considerable length. Above all the Yogi “should work like a master and not like a slave.” * HATHA YOGA. Union by Courage. It matters not what attainment the aspirant seeks to gain, or what goal he has in view, the one thing above all others which is necessary is a healthy body, and a body which is under control. It is hopeless to attempt to obtain stability of mind in one whose body is ever leaping from land to water like a frog; with such, any sudden infl…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING sprouting up from the roots of the older Upanishads two great systems of practical philosophy: 1. The attainment by Sannydsa. 2. The attainment by Yoga. The first seeks, by artificial means, to suppress desire. The second by scientific experiments to annihilate the consciousness of plurality. In the natural course of events the Sannydsa precedes the Yoga, for it consists in casting off from oneself home, posses- sions, family and all that engenders and stimulates desire; whilst the Yoga consists in withdrawing the…
