…ted States which possess souls of their own. That of New Orleans was already being driven out under my eyes, and I dare say that by this time the work of destruction is complete. Probably San Antonio has shared its fate. The most depressing feature in the country is the uniformity of the towns. However singular the geographical situation and its topographical peculiarities, the possibilities of beauty have been nullified by the determination of the people to do everything just right, according to the measure in fashion. Wherever one is, sooner …

…y breath stops. There is no link between me and P.... I withdraw myself. I see the table again. (He was behind the table for a very long time. O.V.) And all the table burns with intolerable light; there has been no such light in any of the Aethyrs until now. And now the table draws me back into itself; I am no more. My arms were out in the form of a cross, and that Cross was extended, blazing with light into infinity. I myself am the minutest point in it. This is the birth of form. I am encircled by an immense sphere of many-coloured bands; it …

…g, for this is their most potent spell. Yet of their own poison do they perish, and in their lonely fortresses shall they be eaten up by Time that hath cheated them to serve him, and by the mighty devil Choronzon, their master, whose name is the Second Death, for the blood that they have sprinkled on their Pylon, that is a bar against the Angel Death, is the key by which he entereth in.* The Angel sayeth: And this is the word of double power in the voice of the Master, wherein the Five interpenetrateth the Six. This is its secret interpretation…

…ark purple rims were round them. I was extremely angry with her for her unprepossessing appearance. It then occurred to me for the first time that perhaps I myself was not looking like the Prince of Wales on Derby Day. The commissary was a short, bull-necked individual, evidently sprung from the ranks of the people. He possessed a correspondingly exaggerated sense of his official importance. He spoke almost without courtesy, and appeared to resent our incapacity to understand his language. As for myself, the fighting spirit had gone out of me c…

… was absolutely cool ; he had not turned a hair. He stood watching me while he pulled out his pipe, filled it and lit it. “* Never waste time on the way to work,” he observed, in a tone which I can only describe as pseudo-sancti- monious. ‘ Do you find yourself sufficiently recovered,” he added in mock anxiety, ‘‘ to resume the vertical position which distinguishes the human species from other mammals? I believe the observation is due to Vergil,” he continued.

…that all of us possess in some degree. And whether Understanding-Wisdom is "right" or "wrong" must be largely a matter of opinion; often Time only can decide such points. But for the active side it is necessary to postulate the existence of a form of Energy at their disposal which is able "to cause change to occur in conformity with the Will" -one definition of "Magick." Now this, as you know, is an exceedingly complex subject; its theory is tortuous, and its practice encompassed with every kind of difficulty. Is there no simple method? Yes: th…

…mself that if one oractises it honestly‘and intelligently a result is certain. And he says this of no other. I have personally not found time to de- vote myself seriously to this Mahasati- pa¢fhana, and the statements here made are those derived from reason and not from ex- perience. But I can say that the unreality of the grosser (rupa) relatively to the subtler Vedana and still more subtle Sajifia be- comes rapidly apparent, and I can only con- clude that with time and trouble the process would continue. What will occur when one reaches the f…

…ke the sea shot through With golden glances of a fiercer star. Turn to me, bend above me, you may char These olive shoulders with an old-time kiss, And fix thy mouth upon me for such bliss Of sudden rage rekindled. Turn again, And make delight the minister of pain, And pain the father of a new delight. And light a lamp of torture for the night Too grievous to be borne without a cry To rend the very bowels of the sky And make the archangel gaspa sudden pang, Most like a traveller stricken by the fang Of the black adder whose squat head springs …

…the noumenon can possess no predicate -- what is it then that it does possess ? It is the Reason itself which is at fault ; the delicate time - piece of Kant's intellect has gone wrong , it has ceased to “ tick ," and with the terrific blow of an à priori club , he proclaims it mended , and regulates each chiming clock in the house of many mansions by means of its handless face .] Thus has the great lion of Crowleyanity set the little crab of Konigsberg and his lunar hut in their appointed niche in the great solar mansion of eternity .

…o be myself is but infinite number. Glory unto the Rose and the Cross, for the Cross is extended unto the uttermost end beyond space and time and being and knowledge and delight! Glory unto the Rose that is the minute point of its centre! Even as we say; glory unto the Rose that is Nuit the circumference of all, and glory unto the Cross that is the heart of the Rose! * These are intended to show symbolically that the Bull is the same as the Eagle. 31

Besides, in the Gospel story, it is one of the bystanders who says that Lazarus “by this time stinketh, for he hath been dead four days.” One may then attribute this remark to imagination—E. L.

…on the nurse's face that he was ill. This, farfetched as it may seem, at least avoids the shallow theories about telepathy. From this time my powers constantly increased. I could read my husband's thoughts from imperceptible movements of his face as easily as a trained deaf-mute can sometimes read the speech of a distant man from the movements of his lips. Gradually as we worked, day by day, I found my grasp of detail ever fuller. It is not only that I could read emotions; I could tell whether he was thinking 3465822 or 3456822. In the year …

…ught over the recent crisis. I dismissed the Shanghai experience as a morbid dream. Reading through the above record at this distance of time, after deliberately avoiding doing so for so long, I feel very uncertain about it; I feel that there was a great deal of genuine communication with the right people and that the Oracle is confused, contradictory and uneven, because of the interference of our personalities. There was the question of our love affair. I was absolutely in love with Rose in the ordinary sense of the term. My love for Fidelis e…

We struggled a long time; and as I was getting exhausted, I succeeded at last in taking his knife, and sank it in his stomach. It was not very pleasant for me to see his blood running black and hot on the sand; but I had to perform this execu- tion, owing to his obstinacy. It was safer to destroy my understudy, as I had called him till then in my happy thoughts, and try afterwards to get another one to fill his place. His 380
