…I invoke Thee: — MA BARRAIO IOEL KOThA “O Mother ! O Truth ! ” “Thou Mass!”1 “Hail, Thou that art!” “Thou hollow one!” I. “Mass”, in the sense of the word which is used by physicists. The impossibility of defîning it will not deter the intrepid initiate (in view of the fact that the fundamental conception is beyond the normal categories of reason.) — 269 —
…riculturalist, the artificer and the engineer. One might suggest that this card marks the turn of the tide. The seven of Disks is in one sense the fullest possible establishment of Matter—compare Atu XV—the lowest fallen and therefore the highest exalted. These last three cards seem to prepare the explosion which will renew the whole Cycle. Note that Virgo is Yod, the secret seed of Life, and also the Virgin Earth awaiting the Phallic Plough. The interest of this card is the interest of the common people. The rulership of the Sun in Virgo sugge…
…lod. Also, imitated by the average crook!) For all that, I am going for once to yield to popular clamour, and use words in their popular sense. That seems to me, roughly this: Prediction is a forecast based on reason, prophecy one which claims the warrant of "magical" powers. You agree? Then we can get on. 1. The prophecy must announce itself as such. We cannot 255
…led with comet and with meteor. Behold within that crested House of War, One central glory of a sapphire stone, Whereon there breathed a sense, a mist, a sun! I stood and Jaughed upon the Ancient One. For He was silent as my body’s kiss, , And sleeping as my many-coloured hair, And living as my eyes and lips ; and where The vast creation round him cried “ He Is!’’, No murmur reached ]1im ; He was set alone, Alone and central. Ah! my eyes were dim. I worshipped even; for I envied Him. So, moving upward to the azure throne, I spread my arms unto …
…how in that Delirium the Weal of the Whole Universe appeareth of no Account. Do thou wean thy Babes from that Simplicity, and instil the Sense of true Proportion. For verily this is a Way of Madness, Love, unless it be under Will. And the Cure of his Madness is not so good as its Prevention, so that thou shouldst be beforehand with these Children, shewing them the right Importance of Love, how it should be a sacred Rite, exalted above Personality, and a Fire to enlighten and serve Man, not to devour him. i
… us deal first with the question of Asana. It might be thought that nothing would be more soothing than swinging or gentle massage. In a sense, and up to a certain point, this is so. But the activity cannot be continued because fatigue supervenes, and sooner or later the body protests by going to sleep. We must, therefore, make up our minds from the start to reduce bodily rhythm to its minimum. 7. I am not quite sure whether it is philosophically defensible, whether it is logically justifiable, to assert the principles of Asana as they occur in…
…ained; and yet they are not allowed to be altogether slack. It is difficult to find a good descriptive word. Braced is perhaps the best. A sense of physical alertness is desirable. Think of the tiger about to spring, or of the oarsman waiting for the gun. After a little there will be cramp and fatigue. The student must now set his teeth, and go through with it. The minor sensations of itching, etc., will be found to pass away, if they are resolutely neglected, but the cramp and fatigue may be expected to increase until the end of the practice. On…
… and think no more about it. A similar difficulty with wives has caused some masters to recommend celibacy. In all these questions common sense must be the guide. No fixed rule can be laid down. The “non-receiving of gifts,” for instance, is rather important for a Hindu, who would be thoroughly upset for weeks if any one gave him a coconut: but the average Euro— pean takes things as they come by the time that he has been put into long trousers.
…or itself. It may even happen, as the present case shows, that if the liar chooses his opportunity with care, and is not hampered with a sense of decency or fair play, his victim may be cut off from any chance at making a public reply at all, or even allowing it to be known that his silence is enforced and not voluntary. 6. When the issue of the Sunday Express for November 26 reached Mr. Crowley in Sicily, he at once wrote to you himself. He pointed out that he was materially defenceless, at the time, against attacks in London, however false. H…

Merely by chance , chance in the truest sense of the term , we are found with gods , men , stars , plants , devils , colours , forces, and all the materials of the Cosmos : and with them , space and causality , the conditions limiting and involving them all .” Thus from the Hegelian abstraction of the non ens we have at last touched bottom , and have come down to the facts of real life .

…to everlasting loss ALESSANDRO. Why, but it seems you have a model set of scamps. What harms done ? GOVERNOR. Harm enough when common sense decamps Its bad enough to guard ones self against attacks, But theres no dealing with religious maniacs. ALESSANDRO. You fear a rising ? GOVERNOR. Yes, by God, and here I sweat, Wet throughwhy, everything but my inside is wet !
…ngels called Auphanim; and one must not imagine that all these angels are identical with one another, or there would not seem to be much sense in it. They have some sort of composition, some sort of individuality; and the character and appearance of the Angel can be determined by its name. 279
…r whole position, because instead of the noble and inspiring Trance of Sorrow they have nothing but the miserable, cowardly, and selfish sense of guilt to urge them to undertake the Work. 15. I think we may dismiss altogether from our minds every claim to experience made by any Christian of whatever breed of spiritual virus as a mere morbid reflection, the apish imitation of the true ecstasies and trances. All expressions of the real thing must partake of the character of that thing, and therefore only that language is permissible which is itse…
…ring. Their position is radically weak, but at least we may say for them that they have tried to square their religion with their common sense. The Christians, on the other hand, though they saw whither the Manichean Heresy * must lead, and crushed it, have not officially admitted the precisely similar conclusion with regard to man, and denied the existence of the human soul as distinct from the divine soul. Trismegistus, Iamblicus, Porphyry, Boehme, and the mystics generally haye of course substantially done so, though occasionally with rather…
…s the establishment of the Universe in three dimensions, that is, below the Abyss. The generating idea is exhibited in its full material sense. The card is ruled by the Sun in Capricornus, the Sign in which he is reborn. The disks are very large and solid; the suggestion of the card is that of a fortress. This represents Law and Order, maintained by constant authority and vigilance. The disks themselves are square; revolution is very opposite to the card; and they contain the signs of the Four Elements. For all that, they revolve; defence is va…
…thing very literally. Browning's quotation: Childe Roland to the dark tower came {121} was as real to me as the Battle of Waterloo. In a sense, perhaps, even more so. I think it was only due to my subconscious common sense that I did not go and see Browning and ask him where to find the dark tower! {122} 14 I obtained the honour of knighthood1 from one of Don Carlos' lieutenants. It is part of the legitimist theory that the sovereign had abrogated to himself the monopoly of conferring spurs, while on the other hand a woman could not confer knig…

…ho knows to-day The purpose of the dread essay? Surely I, earlier, further fared ! I knew the deed that closes clay, Division’s sword by sense unbared, A living lie. The deep delusion ! Dividuality—confusion ! These I unmasked of yore. To-day The hideous blue, the hideous gold Of sky and sand their wrath unrolled, Their agony and hate proclaimed. Is it that night shall kiss to peace The furious carnival that flamed Its ruinous ardour from the sun ! Nay, let all light, all things, but cease ! Sense is the seal of double rule. The million oracles…
…Tub. O restless rats that gnaw the bones Of Aristophanes and Paul! Come up to me and Mr. Jones And see the rapture of it all! This moral sense is sorry stuff—— You take the peas—give me the pod! Follow your fancy far enough! At last you surely come to God. Who is Mr. Jones? asked Denzil. We have heard of him from our friend here already. Mr. Jones, said the big man, is the Unutterable Tao. Mr. Jones, said the doctor, is (on this illusory plane of Maya) one of the wonders of the world. He is never seen or heard, felt or smelt. Nor hath he been a…
