…ostentatious eccentricity. This last mistake came from sheer panic; but all the rest were quite deliberate sacrifices on the altar of my God Magick. They were all accepted, as it then seemed. I attained all my ambitions; yea, and more also. But I know now that I should not have forced my growth, and deformed my destiny. To nail geese to boards and stuff them makes foie gras, very true; but it does not improve the geese. It may be said that I strengthened my moral character by these sacrifices, and that I was indeed com pelled to act as I did. …

Mark that this is not a cessation but a transmutation of the barren seed of prayer into the green shoot of yearning. This yearning is spon- taneous, and it shall be left to grow, whether is be sweet or bitter. For often times it is as the torment of hell in which the soûl burns and writhes unceasingly. Yet it ends, and at its end continue openly thy Method. 27. Concerning Dryness. — Another State wherein …
