…uld tell us: A is (not A, as we supposed, but) A. This facilitates the discovery a,r,c leading to a, is a2; and so on. In practice, everything that we learn about (e.g.) “horse” helps us to understand—to enjoy—the idea. The difference between the scholar and the schoolboy is that the former glows and exults when he is reminded of some word like thalassa.1 Ourselves:— What a pageant of passion empurples our minds whenever we think of the number 93! Most of all, each new thing that we know about ourselves helps us to realize what we mean by our “…

…g Fiend Lou, in a state of almost insane excitement, was calling up Barley Grange on long distance. The house- keeper was to send up something to wear that morning. While she shouted the order, I suddenly recollected that Lamus and Lala were coming in after lunch; the clothes couldn’t possibly reach us till after three o'clock. The best thing to do was to have some dressing- gowns sent up from Piccadilly. They sent people round with a selection at once, and what with that and sending out for some toilet things, and having in the hairdresser, we…

Any attempt to argue with him will assuredly result in defeat. You must be able to reply, “But I am not in the least interested in my spiritual progress; I am doing this because I put it down in my programme to do it. It may hurt my spiritual progress more than anything in the world. That does not matter. I will gladly be damned eternally, but I will not break my obligation in the smallest detail.” By …

…hat? The Master nodded, and echoed: Also in that. Then what becomes of this privileged 'us'? We are obliged to extend it to include everything. Then, as we have just seen, 'God' also is unfettered by definitions. Net result : "God within us" means precisely nothing at all. And so it does, by Brahman! "Bind nothing! Let there be no difference made among you between anyone thing and any other thing; for thereby there cometh hurt. But whoso availeth in this. let him be the chief of all!" (AL .

… Mr. Wolfe. “Oh, bother the fellow,” said I, and then remem- bered my telegram of the day before. I had a swift pang of alarm. Could something be wrong ?. But the cocaine assured me that everything was all right. “Tl have to see the fellow, I suppose,’ I said, and told the hall-boy to send him upstairs. “Don’t let him keep you long,” said Lou, with a petulant pout, and ran into the bedroom after a swift embrace, so violent that it disarranged my new Charvet necktie. The man came up. I was a little bored by the gravity of his manner, and rather …

Chapter5 OF THE THING IN THE GARDEN; AND OF THE WAY OF THE TAO "OH, little Brother!" said the old mystic sadly. "How long will it take you to work through this wretched business?" "I have omnipotence at my command, and eternity at my disposal," smiled the boy, using Eliphaz Levi's well-known formula. "I ought to explain," said Simple Simon, turning to Lisa. "This boy is a desperate magician confined within the circle of this forest. His plan is Action; he is all for Magick; give him a Wand and a host of Demons to control, and he is happy. For m…

78 A BALLAD OF PASSIVE PAEDERASTY A BALLAD OF PASSIVE PAEDERASTY Of man’s delight and man’s desire In one thing is no weariness— To feel the fury of the fire, And writhe within the close caress Of fierce embrace, and wanton kiss, And final nuptial done aright, How sweet a passion, shame, is this, A strong man’s love is my delight ! Free women cast a lustful eye On my gigantic charms, and seek By word and touch with me to lie, And vainly proffer cunt and cheek ; Then, angry, they miscall me weak, Till one, divining me aright, Points to her butto…

94 AU THEATRE DU GRAND GUIGNOL ha, ha, ha! Shudder, shiver, shake, shriek, do everything that begins with sh, except hush—and that is Irish, after all. Of one thing only do I warn you: from start to finish there is not a word or a gesture that could shock the most innocent maiden, or bring a gleam to the eye of the least hardened roué, or the most expert member of the Vigilance Society. ‘ This, in a French theatre, is as rare as it is delightful ; 4 and though it is conditioned, like all phenomena, by space, time, and causality, it is none the …

…ecrecy know much about it; for another, every historian has been talking about some more or less conventional idea of Magick, not of the thing itself. But Magick has led the world from before the beginning of history, if only for the reason that Magick has always been the mother of Science. It is, therefore, of extreme importance that some effort should be made to understand something of the subject; and there is, therefore, no apology necessary for essaying this brief outline of its historical aspects. There have always been, at least in nucle…

…epticism. Our methods must be exclusively inductive. "Gamble away his life," did I say? Indeed I did. If there is any truth at all in anything, or even any meaning in life, in Nature herself; then there is one thing, one thing only paramount; to find out who one is, what is one's necessary Way. The alternative to the Great Work is the hotchpot of dispersion, of fatuity, or disconnected nonsense. To the performance of this Work the nearest obstacle and the most obvious is the Family. Its presumption is manifest, in that it expects everybody to y…

…She further adds that the Dharmakaya body has to be renounced by anyone who wants to help humanity. Now, helping humanity is a very nice thing for those who like it, and no doubt those who do so deserve well of their fel- lows. But there is no reason whatever for imagining that to help humanity is the only kind of work worth doing in this universe. The feeling of desire to do so is a limitation anda drag just as bad as any other; and it is not at all necessary to make all this fuss about Initiation and all the rest of it. The universe is exceed…
