…d humanity; they had not understood that in order to grow one must assimilate oneself with another being, the death of two to create the life of one, in whom the two live once more, transmuted and glorified, the corruptible having put on incorruption. To them incarnation was death; and they did not know that death was life. They were not ready for the Great Adventure. So they stood like tall lilies about the coruscating cone of Light, wondering, doubting, drooping. But at the last came one taller than all the rest, sadder of mien, and lovelier …

…ated by head, hands and feet, allude to the powers of the Number five, the letter 4, the Pentagram comprehending the concealed Spirit of Life and the four Elements, the originators of all living forms. The sign Scorpio especially alludes to stagnant and fetid water ; and to that property of the moist nature which initiates putrefaction and corruption. The eternal change from Life to Death, and through Death to Life, is symbolised in the grass which springs from and is nourished by putrefying and corrupting carcasses. The top of the scythe forms…

Ah! but if with it is one good deed wrought, One kind word spoken, one immortal thought Born in thee, all is paid; the weary strife Grows victory. ‘‘ Love is all and Death is nought.” Such an one wrote that word! as I would meet, Lay my life’s burden at his silver feet, Have him give ear if I say ‘‘ Master.” Yea! I know no heaven, no honour, half so …

…r. Limits He set, made space unsearchable Yet bounded, made time endless to transcend Man's thought to comprehend : Builded the Tower Of life, and girded it with walls of hell, The name of Death. This limit in all things Baffles the spirit wings, Chains the swift soul ; for even Death is bound. In its apparent amplitude I saw, I, who have slept through death, have surely found The old accursed law. And death has changed to life. This task alone Shoots to the starry throne : 1 1 1

Her virgin life is a sick ape’s, her sexual life a drunken sow’s, her mother life all bulging filmy eyes and sagging udders. These are the facts about “innocence;” to this has man’s Chris tian Endeavour dragged her when he should rather have made her his comrade, frank, trusty, and gay, the tenderer self of himself, his consubstantial complement even as Earth is to the Sun.

O ye matchless ministers That daily pass in your appointed ways To reach—we know not what ! How meaningless Your bright assemblage and your steady task Of doubtful motion. And the soul of man Grapples in death-pangs with your mystery, And fails to wrestle down the hard embrace That grips the thighs of thought. And so he dies To pass beyond ye—whither ? To find God ?

THE TWO PATHS 50. The selfish devotee lives to no purpose. The man who does not go through his appointed work in life—has lived in vain. This verse repeats this lesson yet once more. It is another way of saying: Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 51. Follow the wheel of life; follow the wheel of duty to race and kin, to friend and foe, and close thy mind to pleas- ures as to pain. Exhaust the law of Karmic retribution. Gain Siddhis for thy future birth. This again states the same thing, urges the aspirant to live his life fully on…

From the shrill fountain-head of God I draw out water with the rod Made luminous with light of power. I seal each æon’s period, And wait the moment and the hour. Aloof, alone, unloved, I stand With love and worship in my hand. I commune with the Gods : I wait Their summons, and I fire the brand. I speak their Word : and there is Fate.
