…t by the striving broken I may exhaust this me! That thou mayst sweep Swift on the dead from thine all-seeing steep— And the unutterable word be spoken. ALEISTER CROWLEY,
…. Therefore awake, and give secretly and apart the sign of the Mother, and call four times upon the name of CHAOS, that is the four-fold word that is equal to her seven-fold word. And then shalt thou purify thyself, and return into the World. So I did that which was commanded me, and returned. BISKRA. December 17, 1909. 9.30-11.30 a.m. THE Cry OF THE 2ND AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED ARN In the first place, there is again the woman riding on the bull, which is the reflection of BABALON, that rideth on The Beast. And also there is an Assyrian legend o…
… Levi. One may also comment upon the apparition of the sinister man taking pleasure in the public grief, and uttering an indeed infernal word in the midst of the consternation of the crowd, an apparition only noticed by the ecstatic of La Salette, the too celebrated Mlle. de La Merliére, who has the air after all of a worthy individual, but very excitable, and perhaps capable of acting and speaking without knowing it herself, under the influence of a sort of ascetic sleep-waking. This word “sleep-waking” brings us back to Mr. Home, and our anec…

…or this Cause, the Bull being of Osiris, was it necessary for the Masters of the Aeons to incarnate me as more especially a lion, and my Word is first of all a Word of Enlightenment and of Emancipation of the Will, giving to every Man a Sprint within Himself to determine His Will, that he may do that Will, and no more anothers. Arise therefore, o my son, arm thyself, haste to the Battle! l
…ade from the calf which was borne by Isis-Hathor the Great Mother, to Osiris-Apis the Redeemer. It is bound in blue leather on which the word Thelema is written in gold. Let the pen with which the writing is done be the feather of a young male swan — that swan whose name is Aum. And let the ink be made of the gall of a fish, the fish Cannes. Thus far concerning the Book.
…, he lifted himself and fell forward, his head in the nest of her bosom. “ Please sit up and behave sensibly, Mr Rolles ! " was the next word that fell on his ears. “ We are crossing the Seine. Passion may not pass the gloomy river ; here stalks Vice, and the Englishman on its heels. The very coffee sent son Anglais." " Et les femmes," muttered Edgar. She slapped his hand half fiercely. “ It's Poster Art of immorality.” ”I remember going with an American girl to the Guignol once. They played a comedy one could have acted in a Sunday—school in Gl…

…l correspondence between the sign and the thing signified. The more perfect is the sign, the more entire is the correspondence. To say a word is to evoke a thought and make it present. To name God is to manifest God. The word acts upon souls, and souls react upon bodies; consequently one can frighten, console, cause to fall ill, cure, even kill, and raise from the dead by means of words. To utter a name is to create or evoke a being. In the name is contained the verda/ or spiritual doctrine of the being itself. When the soul evokes a thought, t…

…dings are: 1. Yama. 2. Niyama. 3. Asana. 4. Pranayama. 5. Pratyahara. 6. Dharana. 7. Dhyana. 8. Samadhi. Any attempt to translate these words will mire us in a hopeless quag of misunderstanding. What we can do is to deal with each one in turn, giving at the outset some sort of definition or description which will enable us to get a fairly complete idea of what is meant. I shall accordingly begin with an account of Yama. Attend! Perpend! Transcend! 7. Yama is the easiest of the eight limbs of Yoga to define, and corresponds pretty closely to ou…
… and the All. These six were destroyed by the Master of the Temple; and he spake not. The Ash thereof was burnt up by the Magus into The Word. Of all this did the Ipsissimus know Nothing.
26 THE STAR IN THE WEST Both poets have chosen here not the only word that could be chosen , but the only word that would in the above poems express the maximum amount of horror in the one case , and of desire in the other . Very different from Blake do we find such a poem as “ Vespers ,” which , though differing in rime , in cadence and spirit , is reminiscent of Rossetti's “ Blessed Damozel " : Still in those avenues of light, No maid , with golden zone , And lily garment that from sight Half hides the ivory throne , Lay in my arms the livelo…
…. Not only must the statesman be a philosopher, but he should also have in his composition not a little of the mystic. We do not use the word mystic in the specialized sense, in which it is too often employed today. The true mystic is one who sees all phenomena without bias, prejudice, self-interest, or obfuscation. In thinking of kingdoms, he thinks of spiritual kingdoms; and here again we must use the word spiritual in its oldest and widest sense. In such kingdoms faith is more than frontiers, language and literature more than markets. Irelan…
…s blood, he shall nor slay nor *scape.’ My heart hath never pastured on regret Or pang for thee. My justice covers all. PELIAS. That one word “ justice ” covers all indeed To thine own self. But think’st thou for a word To ruin many years of commonweal, And poison in an hour the politics Of states and thrones for—justice? Thou art just; But wisdom, but the life of innocents, The happiness of all, are better served By solemn thought and weighty counsel held, ° JASON, This is more simple. I abolish thee— One sword-sweep—and assume thy “politics.”…
… mother, your sister, or your brother? I have neither father, nor mother, nor sister, nor brother. Your friends? There you employ a word whose sense I have never understood. Your country? I do not know its latitude. Beauty? I would love it willingly, Goddess and Immortal. Gold? I hate is as you hate God. Ah, what then do you love, strange man? I love the clouds . . . . the clouds that float . . . down there . . . the marvellous clouds.
…urely I may find it queer That you should talk of self-hypnosis, When your own faith so very close is To similar experience ; Lies, in a word, beneath suspicion To ordinary common sense . And logic’s emery attrition. I take, however, as before Your own opinions, and demand Some test by which to understand Huxley’s piano-talk,* and find If my hypnosis may not score A point against the normal mind. (As you are pleased to term it, though ! I gather that you do not know ; Merely infer it.) Here’s a test ! What in your whole life is the best Of all …
…ation only leads to an exasperating sense of impotence. There is, it seems, no simple rational idea in the mind which corresponds to the word. It is easy of course to drown the question in definitions, leading us to further complexity—but “ Existence is the gift of Divine Providence,” “ Existence is the opposite of Non-Existence,” do not help us much ! The plain Existence is Existence of the Hebrews goes farther. It is the most sceptical of statements, in spite of its form. Existence is just existence, and there’s no more to be said about it; d…
…rm. This work may be regarded as the culmina- tion of the Author’s powers in lyrical and dramatic work : he has apparently said the last word possible on the subject of Regeneration. The Cambridge Review prefers ‘‘the vigour of Mr. Crowley’s ‘ Tannhauser’ to the Attic monotone of the Master (Swinburne).” This rare pamphlet is almost exhausted. As most people know, Berashith is the first word of the book of Genesis, and the essay contains a complete solu- tion of the Problem of Creation, which has baffled all brains less astute and profound than…
