…te currents, receives and transmits the imprints of the force of imagination which is in men the image and the semblance of the creative word, and thus produces presenti- ments and determines dreams. The science of miracles is then the knowledge of this marvellous force, and the art of doing miracles is simply the art of magnetizing or ¢duminat- ing beings, according to the invariable laws of magnetism or astral light. We prefer the word “light” to the word ‘ magnetism,” because it is more traditional in occultism, and expresses in a more compl…

…ideas as to what my ideas may be. Unless the context makes it clear, doubt is certain to remain. Nor need one suppose that there are any words free from this ambiguity. Everything at one time or another has been the subject of violent praise and violent blame. If any one asks me for the meaning of the word God, I must first know whether the word is being used by the Pope or Mr. G. W. Foote or Herbert Spencer or Billy Sunday. If you ask me for the meaning of the word soul, I am equally at a loss. To the Buddhist it is a figment of the imaginat…

A Magus can therefore only appear as such to the world at inter- vais of some centuries ; accounts of historical Magi, and their Words, are given in Liber Aleph.

It means Union, from the same Sanskrit root as the Greek word Zeugma, the Latin word Jugum, and the English word yoke. (Yeug to join.) When a dancing girl is dedicated to the service of a temple there is a Yoga of her relations to celebrate. Yoga, in short, may be translated 'tea fight,' which doubtless accounts for the fact that all the students of Yoga in England do nothing but gossip over endless lib…

In the morning, she awoke, almost a corpse. He had come, and he had gone — he had not spoken a single word, not even given a token that he would come again. She told her maid to pack for Paris: but she could not go. Instead, she fell ill. Hysteria became neurasthenia; yet she knew that a single word would cure her. But no word came. Incidentally she heard that Cyril Grey was playing gol…

In these Chapters have I, thy Father, restricted myself, not speaking of any immediate Echo of a Word in the World, because, there Men being long since withdrawn into their Silence, it is their One Word, and that Alone, that resoundeth undiminished through Time. How Mohammed, who followeth, is darkened and confused by His Nearness to our own Time, so that I say not save with Diffidence that His Word ALLH may mean this or that. But I am bold concerning His Doctrine of the Unity of God, for God is Man, and …

80 with.” Ari/22' means “Lord,” and a reasonable translation of the whole word would be “Union with God,” the exact term used by Christian mystics to describe their attainment. Now there is great confusion, because the Buddhists use the word Samadhi to mean something entirely different, the mere faculty of attention. Thus, with them, to think of a cat is to “ make Samadhi ” on that cat. They use the word Jhana to describe mystic states. This is excessively misleading, for as we saw in the last section, Dhyana is a preliminary to Samadhi, and of…
