…e to all- comers. (This part is so well understood that all the false prophetsSpiritualism, Christian Science, eth- nological cranks, Great Pyramid puzzle-mongers, and the rest of the humbugsall pretend to appeal to evidence, not to authority, as did the Kings and the Churches). The problem of Government is therefore to find a scientific formula with an ethical implication. This for- mula must be rigidly applicable to all sane men soever without reference to the individual qualities of any one of them. 7. The formula is given by the Law of …

…d to worship him as well as to further his cause as World Teacher. For this alone he commands vast respect, if nothing more. It required great courage to step down voluntarily from a role originally foisted upon him and which he came to realize he was unfit to fulfill. Since that day he has evidenced a loathing for organizations, for societies of the kind of the Theosophical Society, and has espoused a free philosophic attitude that is reminiscent of Zen Buddhism at its best. He has lectured on many occasions throughout the world, and has sever…

Astronomers tell us this of the Great Republic of the Stars; physicists say the same of the Little Republic of Molecules. Shall not the Middle Republic of Men be like unto them?

…about to tell you. Swear by the soul of your dead mother. My mother is alive, returned Bevan. I knew it, exclaimed his companion, a great and strange look of god-like pity illuminating his sunburnt face. It was such a look as one sees upon many statues of Buddha, a look of divine, of impersonal compassion. Then swear by the Lord Chancellor. Bevan was more than ever persuaded that the stranger was a Frenchman. However, he readily gave the required promise.

Moreover, there is Mary, a blasphemy against Babalon, for she hath shut herself up; and therefore is she the Queen of all those wicked devils that walk upon the earth, those that thou sawest even as little black specks that stained the Heaven of Urania. And all these are the excrement of Choronzon. And for this is BABALON under the power of the Magician, that she hath submitted herself un…

…nt to go to sleep on: suppose two or more people claim simultaneously to have been Julius Caesar, or Shakespeare, or-oh! always one very great gun! Well, fifty or sixty years ago or more there was a regular vogue for this sort of thing, especially among women. It was usually Cleopatra or Mary Queen of Scots or Marie Antoinette: something regal and tragic preferred, but un surpassable beauty the prime essential as one would expect. Of the Mary Queen of Scots persuasion was old Lady Caithness, who seems moreover to have had a sense of humour into…

Then there was a voluble, genial man with a shock of gray hair and a queer twisted smile on his face. He looked like a character of Dickens. But he had done more to revitalise the theatre than any other man of his time. I took a dislike to the women. They seemed so unworthy of the men. Great men seem to enjoy going

But when I came beyond the Abyss, to be reborn within the womb of BABALON, then came he unto me abiding in my virgin heart, its Lord and Lover! Also He made me a Magus, speaking through His Law, the Word of the new Aeon, the Aeon of the Crowned and Con…

…ies, the laws of nature which I deduce from the sum of such facts, or the mystical moonshine which meditation on all these evokes? In my great initiation in the Sahara, I was told in one vision, "Above the Abyss" (that is, to that intelligible intuition between which and the intellect there is a great gulf fixed), "a thing is only true in so far as it contains its own contradiction in itself." The initiate must learn to use this faculty. Its first advantage is to deliver one from the dilemma set forth above. We need no longer doubt that white i…

We noticed that in spite of the Alpine air, we did not seem to have any great. appetite for breakfast, and we appreciated with the instantaneous sympathy which united us that the food of mortals was too gross for the gods. That sympathy was so strong and so subtle, so fixed in our hearts, that we could not realise the rude, raw fact that we had ever existed as separate beings. The past was blotted out in the calm contemplation of our beatitude. We understood the changeless ecstasy…

Commentary: The feasts of fire and water indicate rejoicings to be made at the puberty of boys and girls respectively. The feast for life is at a birth; and the feast for death at a death. It is of the utmost importance to make funerals merry, so as to train people to take the proper view of death. The fear of death is one of the great weapons of tyrants, as well as their scourge; and …
