…ay the entire rear section of Farmer McNab's prize ram. {418} We rushed forward, cheering frantically. Gillies had to be first in at the death; the supply of oats with which he had induced our latest purchase to feed in that spot all the morning without moving, might, if observed, have detracted from the uncanny glory of that romantic scene. But next day at dinner, when we ate that haggis, the general hilarity passed unchallenged. The atmosphere had become wholly Homeric; there was no reason why the wildest glee should seem out of place.

…e intense vividness of the phenomenon gives us a further argu- ment in favour of its permanence. Scept. But that it should persist after death is a question which we should leave physiology to answer, as much as the obvious question whether sight and taste persist. And the answer is unhesitatingly ‘* No.” Afyst. Yet the mystic may still reply that the association of consciousness with matter is as incredible as the contrary conception. Cause and effect, he will say, are if anything less likely (@ prtorz) than concomitance or casuality. Even occ…

His death adds grief to my thoughts of him; nothing can add to the love I have always had for him, or the honour in which I have always held him. protested that he did not know it himself. It didn't matter much then; it doesn't matter at all now. But I want to recall to Eckenstein that I stood pat! I did not ask him to vindicate himself. I do not empanel a jury of jackals to try a lion. I do not believe that Ecken…

…It gives the definite formula for the attainment of truth. “I give unimaginable joys on earth: certainty, not faith, while in life, upon death; peace unutterable, rest, ecstasy; nor do I demand aught in sacrifice.” “But to love me is better than all things: if under the night‐stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me, invoking me with a pure heart, and the Serpent flame therein, thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom. For one kiss wilt thou then be will‐ ing to give all; but whoso gives one particle of dust shall lo…

This letter informed Dr. West‐ cott of her death, adding that the writer and his associates had never approved of Frl. Sprengel’s action in authorising any form of group working, but, in view of the great reverence and esteem in which she was held, had refrained from open opposition. He went on to say that

…, is Restriction, which is the Word of Sin. Indeed, there is truth in the Hebrew fable, that the knowledge of Good and Evil brings forth Death. To regain Innocence is to regain Eden. We must learn to live without the murderous consciousness that every breath we draw swells the sails which bear our frail vessels to the Port of the Grave. We must cast out Fear by Love; seeing that every Act is an Orgasm, their to‐ tal issue cannot be but Birth. Also, Love is the law: thus every act must be Righteousness and Truth. By certain Meditations this may …

…sire here to include such a phenomenon as the tendency of two molecules of hydrogen and chlorine to combine under certain conditions. If death be painful to me, it is presumably so to a molecule ; if we represent one opera- tion as pleasant, the converse is presumably painful. Though I am not conscious of the individual pain of the countless deaths in- volved in this my act of writing, it may be there. And what I call ‘‘ fatigue” may be the echo in my central consciousness of the 1 See Prof. Rhys Davids on the ‘Jataka.””

…co‐operation of air, which is itself alchemically the result of the Marriage of Fire and Water. So also the formula of continued life is death, or putrefaction. Here it is symbolized by the caput mortuum on the cauldron, a raven perched upon a skull. In agricultural terms, this is the fallow earth. There is a particular interpretation of this card which is only to be understood by Initi‐ ates of the Ninth Degree of the O.T.O.; for it contains a practical magical formula of such im‐ portance as to make it impossible to communicate it openly.

The Wand has conquered; it has done its work; it has done its work too well; it did not know when to stop; Government has become Tyranny. One thinks of the Hydra when one reflects that King Charles was beheaded in White hall! The Ten of Cups is called Satiety. its attribution is Mars in Pisces.

…academic training, and that her powerful natural instincts were suppressed by religion to the point that she became, after her husband's death, a brainless bigot of the most narrow, logical and inhuman type. Yet there was always a struggle; she was really distressed, almost daily, at finding herself obliged by her religion to perform acts of the most senseless atrocity. Her firstborn son, the aforesaid, was remarkable from the moment of his arrival. He bore on his body the three most important distinguishing marks of a Buddha. He was tongue-tie…

…e King": Baffled again and again, the fall with his horse supplied the one factor missing in his calculations. He had repeatedly escaped death in matters almost miraculous. "Then I am some use after all!" was his conclusion. "I am indeed SENT to do something." For whom? For the universe; no partial good could possibly satisfy his equation. I am, then, the "Chosen Priest and Apostle of Infinite Space". Very good: and what is the message? What shall I teach men? And like lightning from heaven fell upon him these words: "THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONVERSA…

I made comparatively few notes of this period --- November 1902 to April 1903. It seems rather strange that I should have been able to get such an epitome of life into so short a period; at least I reached old age. I went back to Boleskine almost as a ghost might retire to his tomb at cock-crow. In May I wrote a very clear rsum of my progress. It will b…

…e symbol of the Fish has been chosen to represent the Redeemer or Phallus, the god through whose virtue man passes through the waters of death. The common name for this god, in southern Italy to‐day, and elsewhere, is Ii pesce. So, also, his female counterpart, Kteis, is rep‐ resented by the Vesica Piscis, the bladder of the fish, and this shape is continually exhibited in many church windows and in the episcopal ring.1 In the mythology of Yucatan it was the “old ones covered with feathers that came up out of the sea”.

So she turned her flute to the new song, when—horror !—there was a mosquito in the flute. ‘Tootle ! Tootle !’ she began. ‘Buzz!

… this river on the way back, though the water was barely kneedeep, he was swept away at once, and would have been drowned or battered to death in a few seconds if he had not been promptly pulled back by the rope which he had prudently put on. As it was, he received two violent blows from stones, one of which nearly snapped his thigh and the other his spine. On looking at the photographs of this stream, it seems positively ridiculous to associate the slightest danger with crossing them. The following day we went on to Paiyu, a dreary march of so…

…weak? Was my kiss the first offender ...Pressed upon thy blushing cheek? Heaven at your accurst creation ...Shall become a hell of fire: Death for kisses, and damnation ...For your love, shall God require! What is worthy of note is what I may call the Laus veneris point of view; which symbolizes my revolt and required many years to wear out. It seems as if I clung to the idea of the wickedness of love and the belief that it entailed divine retribution, partly perhaps because of my tendency to masochism, but consciously, at least, as adding actu…
