Naturally, I’ve no idea of time.) I have gone up again to the child, led by two Angels, abasing my head. This child seems to be the child that one attempted to describe in ‘The Garden of Janus.” Every volition is inhibited. I have tried to say a lot, and it has always got lost on the way. Holy art thou, O more beautiful than all the stars of the Night! There has nev…

A certain Adept was to make use of the Sacred Vapour , and when the time seemed ripe, to answer such questions as should be put to him by his Scribe. Presently, after about an hour's silence , the Scribe asked: "Is communication possible?" By this he meant merely to enquire whether it would now be in order for him to begin to ask his prepared list of questions. But the Adept thought that this was Question No. I : meaning "Is there any valid means of making contact between two …

But they were not, I gather, plotting any serious mischief. They saluted me in a friendly manner when they saw me leave the box and walk towards them. I must have been a long time lying over it, a whole afternoon and night, maybe, during my unnatural sleep. I bowed gracefully before them; but they seemed amazed 375

But there is a voice saying: Behold, the Great One of the Night of Time stirreth, and with his tail he churneth up the slime, and of the foam thereof shall he make stars. And in the battle of the Python and the Sphinx shall the glory be to the Sphinx, but the victory to the Python. Now the veil of darkness is formed of a very great number of exceedingly fine black veils, and one tears them off one at a time. And the voice says, There is no light or knowledge or beauty or stab…

The conflict in myself raged all the afternoon. Cockie had gone to sleep. He snored and groaned. He was like one’s idea of a convict. He hadn’t shaved for two days. My own nails were black. I felt sticky and clammy all over. I hadn't dressed myself. I had thrown my clothes on carelessly. Cockie woke about dinner-time. We couldn’t go down as we were.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF HASHISH So then he must abandon the whole series of ecstasies ; all this time he has been on the wrong road. For the Three Characteristics are true of Vififianam as they are of Rupa; Change, Sorrow, Unsubstantiality. He has only one asset; the habit of One-pointedness— Ekagrata. He may be all kinds of a black magician ; but at least he has learnt to concentrate his mind. But what is he to aim at? Hashish-analogy is better than ever here; for Nibbana stands to the attainment of the Eight Jhanas, the Four Formless States «.7.A. …

… now arose in the destruction irrevocable and complete of that compensating mecha- nism of the brain, which is the basis of the sense of time. Hideously distorted and deformed as it had been in the derangement of the brain, like a shapeless jelly shooting out, of a sudden, vast, unsuspected tentacles, the destruction of it cut a thousandfold deeper. The sense of consecution itself was destroyed; things se- quent appeared as things superposed or concurrent spa- tially; a new dimension unfolded; a new destruction of all limitation exposed a new a…

THE DREAM — 129 A sleep as deep as theirs bestow, Dear angel of my dreams ! Bid time now cease its to-and-fro That I may dwell with thee, and know The soul from that which seems ! The long hair sobs in closer fold And deeper curves of dawn ; The arms bend closer, and the gold Burns brighter, and the eyes are cold With life at last withdrawn.
