…the adoration of their people, when they were regarded as the Lord’s anointed, and the eldest sons of the Church, they cured scrofula. A man who is the fashion can always do miracles when he wishes. Cagliostro may have been only a charlatan, but as soon as opinion had made of him “the divine Cagliostro,” he was expected to work miracles; and they happened. When Cephas Barjona was nothing but a Jew proscribed by Nero, retailing to the wives of slaves a specific for eternal life, Cephas Barjona, for all educated people of Rome, was only a charlat…

There are, then, in man, two lives: the individual or reasonable life, and the common or instinctive life. It is by this latter that one can live in the bodies of others, since the universal soul, of which each nervous organism has a s…

…t, in fact, tothe house of Mme. A——, and found that the ecclesiastic had been waiting for them for some moments. He was a young and slim man; he had an arched and pointed nose, with dull blue eyes. His bony and projecting forehead was rather broad than high, his head was dolicho- cephalic, his hair flat and short, parted on one side, of a greyish blond with just a tinge of chestnut of a rather curious and disagreeable shade. His mouth was sensual and quarrel- some; his manners were affable, his voice soft, and his speech sometimes a little emba…

THE SEVEN PORTALS 70. Remember, thou that fightest for man’s liberation, each failure is success, and each sincere attempt wins its reward in time. The holy germs that sprout and grow un- seen in the disciple’s soul, their stalks wax strong at each new trial, they bend like reeds but never break, nor can they eer be lost. But when the hour has struck they blossom forth. But if thou cam’st prepared, then have no fear. These verses explain the cumulative effect of which we spoke. It is very hard to persist, because very often we seem to make no p…

Instantly the whole theory dawned on me, that this demon was an imaginary personification of the disease. Now at once I understood demonology, from Bodin and Weirus to the moderns, without a flaw. But was it imaginary or was it real? Real enough to swal- low up the sane thought! At that instant the old Arthur reappeared. I am not the monster! I am Arthur Bla…

…on him these words: "THE KNOWLEDGE AND CONVERSATION OF THE HOLY GUARDIAN ANGEL." So again we read (in the diary) on February 11th: "Made many resolutions of a G. R. (Great Retirement). In dream flew to me an angel, bearing an ankh, to comfort me." We may now transcribe the diary. We find the great mind, the complex man, purged through and through of thought, stripped of all things human and divine, centred upon one single aspiration, as simple as the love of a child for its father. Like lightning from heaven? Not lest swift flashed back the obv…

PROFESSOR ZIRCON assured him that it really wasn’t decent. “We won’t go to the Club, dear man. We'lljust drop in at the Escoffier for tea" The Professor grunted an assent; but he was more than half pleased. He wondered what his fairy looked like in her butterfly wings. The lounge of the Escoffier was full of people; but right across the room Professor Zircon could see Muriel with cornflowers in her yellow-ashen hair and her simple muslin dress. But she wore the diamonds he had given her, a string of starlight at her neck. How well he remembered tha…

So I rolled out of bed and crawled across to the H. and took one little sniff, and sat on the floor till it worked. It’s great stuff when you know the ropes. It picked me up ina minute.

It will be the natural growth of the Child. His expériences will no more be regarded as catastrophic. Their hieroglyph is the Pool: the innocent and impotent Harpocrates Babe becomes the Horus Adult by obtaining the Wand. “Der reine Thor” seizes the Sacred Lance. Bacchus becomes Pan.

Another affectation of the women art students was to claim to be treated exactly as if they were men in every respect.

Then he excused himself for a momentary absence in the terms which he would have used to another man. On his return, the lady had recovered her "sex and character", and had bolted. Wom…

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 th…

I have been reading that somewhat mawkish book ‘‘The Soul of a People.” Disgusted as I was by its ooze of sentiment- ality, I was yet not unobservant of its cogni- sance of this fact, and I was even pleased— though this is by the way—to see that the author recognises in-the ridiculous First Pre- cept of the Buddhist Faith, or rather …
