484 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS stuffed in by·robot teachers, will have done wonders with the help of the bovine well-being to produce a race of robot boys. All independence, all imagination, all spirit of Adventure, will have been ground down and rolled out smooth by this ghastly engine. But-Nature is not so easily beaten; a few boys and girls will somehow escape, and either by instinct or by observation, have the sense to keep secret. Now whatever their own peculiar genius may select as their line, they will realise that nothing is possible in any w…

WHAT IS MAGICK? 37 himself superior to others; because he will not be an individual limited by transitory things, but a force of Nature, as impersonal, impartial and eternal as gravitation, as patient and irresistible as the tides. His system will not be subject to panic, any more than th" law of Inverse Squares is disturbed by Elections. He will not be anxious about his affairs because they will not be his; and for that reason he will be able to direct them with the calm, clear-headed confidence of an onlooker, with intelligence unclouded by s…

…f sufficient to assure me that love's labour has not been lost, and to fill me with enthusiastic confidence that the present publication will abundantly contribute to the fulfilment of my True Will for which I came to earth. Let us wring from labour and sorrow the utmost of which humanity is capable. Fulfil my Will to open the portals of spiritual attainment to my fellowmen, to bring them to the enjoyment of that realization of Truth , beneath all veils of temporal falsehood, which has enlightened mine eyes and filled my mouth with song. So the…

…actors of which we know nothing at all, by which the basic possibilities of a figure are set to work. (Just as a car with engine running will not start until the clutch is put in.) I will conclude by announcing a rather remarkable position. 1. I see no objection at all to postulating that certain "rays," or other means of transmitting some peculiar form or forms of energy, may reach us from the other parts of the solar system; for we can in fact point to perfectly analogous phenomena in the discoveries of the last hundred years or so. But that …

…se of the formulae of nature which have brought them to their present situation , are attempts to proceed further on the way of the True Will. It is particularly important to understand this at the present time when the Aeon of Horus is just getting under way. For the Aeon of Isis, that of the Mother, appears to have regarded the whole of Nature as a spontaneous growth of universal scope. In the aeon of Osiris, the restriction of Family appears for the first time. The world of sentient beings is separated into clusters, each family, clan, gens,…

… be enough for an intelligent and assiduous student. Let me insist that all that is worth while comes by experience . Learning one thing will give you the clue to another. Well do I know to my sorrow how hard it is, as a rule, to learn how to do a thing solely from written instruction ; so perhaps you had better arrange to see me one day about the actual setting-up of a figure. Probably , too , there will be a few points that you would like to discuss. I will end by betting you six clothing coupons to a pound of sugar that in two years concentr…

… We come down to the average popular "teacher," the mere humbug. Read this: One day quite soon an entirely different kind of electricity will be discovered which will bring as many profound changes into human living as the first type did. This new electricity wlll move in a finer ether than does our familiar kind, and thus will be nearer in vibration to the fifth dimension, to the innermost source of things, that realm of "withinness " wherein all is held poised by a colossal force, that same force which is packed within the atom. Electricity n…

…ere is confinnation in detail of AL, I: 41. This act is a definite electrical or magnetic phenomenon. No other considerations apply. (It will therefore occasionally seem, to the outsider, unreasonable.) The only exception-it is only apparently so-is when satisfaction of the impulse would manifestly thwart the True Will more than it would help to fulfil it; any such case must be judged on its merits. "But always unto Me." The word "always" admits of no exception; "unto Me" may be paraphrased as the "fulfilment of one possibility necessary to the…

…2 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS What you say about tension and eagerness and haste is very true. See The Book of the Law , Chapter 1:44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose , delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect . This, from a practical point of view, is one of the most important verses in the book . The unusual word unassuaged is very interesting. People generally suppose that 'will' is the slave of purpose, that you cannot will a thing properly unless you are aiming at a definite goal. But this is not the case. Thinking of the goal…

88 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS School intact, it will transcend them and raise their Theory and Practice almost to the level of the Yellow. As to the White School, it will remove from them all taint of poison of the Black, and restore vigour to their central formula of spiritual alchemy by giving each man an independent ideal. It will put an end to the moral castration involved in the assumption that each man, whatever his nature, should deny himself to follow out a fantastic and impracticable ideal of goodness. Incidentally, this formula will save Ph…

MO RALITY (1) 423 You may look sourly down a meanly-pointed nose, or yell "Whoop La!" and make for Piccadilly Circus: in either case you will be wrong; you will not have understood the Book. Shameful confession, one of my own Chelas (or so it is rather incredibly reported to me) said recently: "Self-discipline is a form of Restriction." (That, you remember, is "The Word of Sin.") Of all the utter rubbish! (Anyhow, he was a "centre of pestilence" for discussing the Book at all.) About 90 percent of Thelema, at a guess, is nothing but self-discip…

THE QABALAH 51 When investigating the name and other words communicated to you by such beings as you meet there, or invoke, many more will come up in their proper connections. Very soon you will have quite a nice little Sepher Sephiroth of your very own. Remember to aim, above all things, at coherence. It is excellent practice, by the way, to do some mental arithmetic on your walks; acquire the habit of adding up any names that you have come across in your morning's reading. Nietzsche has well observed that the best thoughts come by walking; an…
