…ng! Then canst thou bear more joy. Be not animal; refine thy rapture! If thou drink, drink by the eight and ninety rules of art: if thou love, exceed by delicacy; and if thou do aught joyous, let there be subtlety therein! Commentary: It is absurd to suppose that “to indulge the passions” is necessarily a reversion or degeneration. On the con trary, all human progress has depended on such indulgence. Every art and science is intended to gratify some fundamental need of nature. What is the ultimate use of the telephone and all the other inventi…

…affairs. My residence at Eastbourne broke up very suddenly. During the whole of my adolescence I had taken the romantic point of view of love; and I found that the universal practice was for elder people to interfere in the affairs of their juniors. Two people could not decide to marry without rousing a hurricane. There was never any exception. Engagements were always being made and broken on unintelligible religious grounds. The family of the Lamberts was no exception to this. The eldest daughter was an acid old maid in the late twenties; the …

116 The Law is for All consequently be “against the people” if he is to pursue any consis tent policy. The massed maggots of “love” devoured Mark Ant ony as they did Abelard. For this reason the first task of the Aspirant is to disarm all his thoughts, to make himself impregna- bly above the influence of any one of them; this he may accom plish by the methods given in Liber Aleph, “Liber Jugorum,” “Thien Tao,” and elsewhere.1 Secondly, he must impose absolute silence upon them, as may be done by the “Yoga” practices taught in Book 4 (Part I)…

Nearly all seem to indicate that Mr Crowley is still in the thick of his passions ; the ferment is discernible to all who have passed that way. But there is good wine there ; he must be reckoned with. If he progresses, his will become a great name. If he has arrived at his limits we shall hear no more of him.

And therefore, before the beginning of his periods of dévotion, let him practise according to the rules of Liber Jugorum. 15.

It must not have the will; it must transform itself completely to be the Will. Last of all, the act must be supreme. It must do and it must die. From that death it must rise again, purged of that Will, hav ing accomplished it so perfectly that nothing is left thereof in its elements. It must have emptied itself into the vehicle.

Again, one might hâve a liaison with an ugly old woman until one beheld and loved the star which she is; it would be too dangerous to overcome the distaste for dishonesty by forcing oneself to pick pockets. Acts which are essentially dishonourable must not be done; they should be justified only by calm contemplation of their correctness in abstract cases. Love is a virtue; it grows stronger and purer and less seifish by applying it to what it loathes; but theft is a vice involving the…

Cannot the rose and the lily bloom side by side? A book of wandering cries such as this - we cannot regard as of much significance. But we may hope that the author's indubitable singing power may gain an assured note with his further development. We would advise him to be less introspective and subjective and more objective and dramatic, to seek less to express directly…
