IMPROVISING A TEMPLE 175 Wha t is really more significant is the hidden, the unexpressed, soul of the Book; the way in which it leaps into wild spate of rhapsody on any excuse or no excuse. This is surely more convincing than some dreary thesis, plodding along doggedly with the "proof" (!) that "God is good," every sentence creaking with your chalk-stones and squeaking with the twinges of your toe! Yet just because I proclaim a doctrine of joy in the language of joy, people - dull camels-say I am not "serious." Yet I have found pleasure in harn…

What do conditions matter to me?” “Well,” said King Lamus, “ it’s really only a small condition ; and to prove that I keep my promises, I must keep them all round. You see, I promised to cure Sir Peter, too, and so my condition is that he comes with us.”’ She sprang to her feet as if a cobra had struck her. Her long arms wrestled against the unresisting air. The humiliation was unspea…

This is the Truth behind the lie called God; This blots the heavens, and indwe…

…it can’t be measured by mechanical instruments| The whole of the woman’s vitality was directed to some secret interior shrine of her own soul. Now she began to speak for the first time. The only subject that interested her in this wide universe was heroin. Her voice was monotonous. Lou told me later that it reminded her of a dirge droned by Tibetan monks far off across implacable snow. “It’s the only thing there is,” she said, in a tone of extraordinary ecstatic detachment. One could divine an infinite unholy joy derived from its own sadness. I…

…e sky. You cannot mistake it for an Old Maid objecting to Everything. This Universe is a wild revel of atoms, men, and stars, each one a Soul of Light and Mirth, horsed on Eternity. Observe that we must “rise up” before we “awake!” Aspira tion to the Higher is a dream—a wish-fulfilment which remains a phantasm to wheedle us away from seeking reality—unless we follow it up by action. Only then do we become fully aware of ourselves, and enter into right reaction with the world in which we live. 35. Let the rituals be rightly performed with joy &…

The sea whereon that lotus grows Is thought’s abyss of tears and woes. Leave Sirenusa ! Even Greece Forget ! they are not there! By worship cometh not the Peace, The Silence not by prayer ! Leave the illusions, life and time And death, and seek that star sublime— Until the lotus and the sea And snake no longer are, And single through e…

…an expert liar I have always been. You know my capacity for making a full and true confession of countless crimes without enlightening a soul. You know my shameless maxim, “ Tell the truth, but lead so improbable a life that the truth will never be believed.” To try your formula I must control not only my words, but my tones, the shape of my mouth, the mirth of my eyes, the ready ambiguity of my shoulders!

… behind all things, behind each in the highest worlds, the highest of all.”§ Once logically having crushed out the idea of an individual soul, a personal God and then an impersonal God had to be set aside and with them the idea of a First Cause or Beginning; concerning which question Buddha refused to give an answer. For, he well saw, that the idea of a Supreme God was the greatest of the dog-faced demons that seduced man from the path. “There is no God, and I refuse to discuss what is not!” cries Buddha, “but there is Sorrow and I intend to de…

He reproached himself for having told me the truth, even now, but it had been too strong for him. The irony of fate! The tragic absurdity of social restrictions!

…or 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 and oxygen, and so on. Any reaction whatever, any phenomenon, is a phenomenon of "love," as you will understa…

…atement of Thelema came immediately before "There is an end of the word of the God enthroned in Ra's seat, lightening the girders of the soul." (AL III: 61) And this is "As brothers fight ye!" Perhaps the Aeon may give birth to some type of warfare "under Queensbery rules" so to say. A baptism of those who assert their right to belong to the Master class. Something, in short, not wholly dissimilar from the jousts of Feudal times. But on such points I should not care to adventure any very positive opinion. The last part of your question refers t…

… higher kingdom will occur to every one. But this religious ecstasy takes place in the highest centres of the human organism ; it is the soul itself that is united to its God ; and for this reason the rapture is more overpowering, the joy more lasting, and the resultant energy more pure and splendid, than in aught earthly. In ritual, therefore, we seek continually to unite the mind to some pure idea by an act of will. This we do again and again more and more passionately, with more and more determination, until at last the mind accepts the domi…

Each soul is thus absolute, and “good” or “evil” are merely terms descriptive of relations between destructible combi nations. Thus Quinine is “good” for a malarial patient, but “evil” for the germ of the disease. Heat is “bad” for ice-cream and “good” for coffee. The indivisible essences of things, their “Souls,” are indifferent to all conditions soever, for none can in any way affect them. 6. Be thou Hadit, my s…

… Grade of Mater of the Temple in 1909, when at last I realized that every thought, word and act might be pressed into the service of the soul: more, that it must be if the soul were ever to be free. I "mixed up the planes" for many years to some extent, though never as badly as most mystics do. During this retirement I was fortunate in being under the constant vigilant supervision of Allan Bennett, whose experience enabled him to detect the firs onset of disturbing ideas. For instance, the revising and typing of Tannhäuser were quite sufficient…
