Following the speech quoted from The Equinox, Vol. I, No. 10, there is an account of the legal proceedings in Chingleput, India, where J. Narayaniah was suing Annie Besant to regain custody of his two sons-one of whom was Krishnamurti.

…n the matter. Two or three experiments should suffice to render the student confident and even expert. See also “The Seer”, pp. 295-333, Equinox I, 2. VI. 1. The previous experiment has little value, and leads to few results of importance. But it is susceptible of a development which merges into a form of Dharana — concentration — and as such may lead to the very highest ends. The principal use of the practice in the last chapter is to familiarise the student with every kind of obstacle and every kind of delusion, so that he may be perfect mast…

…now a great many legends, mostly borrowed from previous legends of a similar character . It would be better for you to get a copy of The Equinox of the Gods and study it. The Great Work is the uniting of opposites. It may mean the uniting of the soul with God, of the microcosm with the macrocosm, of the female with the male, of the ego with the non-ego-or what not . By "love under will" one refers to the fact that the method in every case is love, by which is meant the uniting of opposites as above stated, such as hydrogen and chlorine, sodium …

THE EQUINOX Presumably cessation of sense perception. How can we prove our theory? By cutting away every perception, every thought- form as it is born, until nothing thinkable is left, not even the thought of the unknowable. The man of science will often say “I do not know, I really do not know where these bricks came from, or how they were made, or who made them; but here they are; let us build a house and live in it.” Now this indeed is a very sensible view to take, and the result is we have some very fine houses built by these excellent bric…

So far as it applies to the Magical Memory, it lays stress on some such expedient, very much as is explained in Liber Thisharb (Magick, pp. 415-422).
