…! I, Criosda of the Mist, see truth in all Rather than truth in none. Below the rite The sight ! Beyond the priest, the power! Above The sense, the soul ! So men who made their gods Did make in very deed : so I will make In uttermost truth a new god, since the old Are dead, or drunk with wine, and soma-juice And hemp and opium ! Maurya, thou shalt be ! So for long years I have dared. First the twin death
…D.] I should like to write mantrams for each chapter. Still at Liber DCCCCLXIII. I need hardly say that I am perfectly aware that in one sense all this working and ritual making and copying and illuminating is but a crowd of dog-faced demons, since the One Thought of Unity with Adonai is absent. But I do it on purpose, making each thing I do into that Magic Will. So if you ask me “Are you correcting Liber DCCCCLXIII. ?" I reply, “ No! Iam Adonail " Arrival of the Visconti. Departure of the Visconti. Really a necessary rest: for my head had begu…
…strip the possible of glory. The flood of the Chittam is again being heaped up by the dam of Discipline. There is less headache, and more sense of being on the Path—that is the only way one finds of expressing it. Worse and worse ; though pose even better held. In despair returned to a simple practice, the holdingof the mind to a single imagined object; in this case the Triangle surmounted by the Cross. It seems quite easy to do nowadays; why shouldn’t it lead to The Result? It used to be supposed to do so. Might be worth trying anyway; things ca…

…hteous thought him happiness doth surely find. So failing not the shadow falls for ever in its place assigned. The Pantacle is then in a sense identical with the Karma or Kamma of the Magician. The Karma of a man is his /edge?: The balance has not been struck, and lie does not know what it is; he does not even fully know what debts he may have to pay, or what is owed him; nor does he know on what dates even those payments which he anticipates may fall due. A business conducted on such lines would be in a terrible mess; and wc find in fact that …
…yone of us an instinct, at least, of what is 'right' and what is wrong." And it is plain enough that you understand the validity of this sense in itself, in its own right, wholly independent of any Codes or systems whatsoever. I seem to have started up this rock chimney with the wrong leg! What I am trying to write is a sort of answer to your remark about "Does the end justify the means?" and I had better tackle it straightforwardly . Cesspools in every theologian's back garden: sewers in every legislator's garden city: there is no end to the l…
…for here is the Impulse that setteth us to Magick, the Pain of the Conscious Mind. Having then Wit to find the Cause of this Pain in the Sense of Separation, and its Cessation by the Union of Love, it is the Summit of our Holy Art to present the whole Being of our Star to Our Lady in the Nuptial of our Bodily Death. We are then o make our whole Engine the true and real Appurtenance of our Force, without Leak, or Friction, or any other Waste or Hindrance to its Action. Thou knowest well how an Horse, or even a Machine propelled by a Mans feet, …

…ion. We see and hear them, usually (in my own experience) as the result of specific invocation. Less frequently we know them through the sense of touch as well; sometimes their presence is associated with a particular perfl me. (This, by the way, is very striking, since it has to overcome that of the incense.) I must very strongly insist, at this point, on the difference between "gods" and "angels." Gods are macrocosmic, as we microcosmic: an incarnated (materialised) God is just as much a person, an individual 362

…e ocean, seeming The glances of a maiden kissed, or dreaming. Light, as I swim through rollers green and gleaming, Sheds its most subtle sense to penetrate This heart I thought impervious to Fate. Now the sweet light, the full delight, is beaming Through me and burns me : all my flesh is teeming With the live kisses of the sea, my mate, My mistress, till the fires of life abate And leave me languid, man-forgotten, deeming I see in sleep, in many-coloured night, More hope than in the flame-waves of the light.
…es of y and g for x, and values of ¥ and zg for y—all our equations are indeterminate; all our knowledge is relative, even in a narrower sense than is usually implied by the statement. Under the whip of the clown God, our performing donkeys the philosophers and men of science run round and round in the ring; they have amusing tricks : they are cleverly trained ; but they get nowhere. I don’t seem to be getting anywhere myself. II A fresh attempt. Let us look into the simplest and most certain of all possible statements. Thought exists, or if yo…
…ts revolting filth, consenting to the ruin of mankind and his own death as relief from it. Lastly we see the man magically awakened to a sense of his disaster, too weak to retrieve the past or avert the future, though alive to all its horror. In the meanwhile the corruption of Roman virtue begins ; and we should end the play in despair were it not that Alexander comes for- ward and obligingly prophesies the arrival of Aleister

…have gained to the execution of your True Will, to the accomplishment of the Great Work. Obviously, much must be left to your own common-sense ; the one technical point on which I insist above all others is the Magical Link. You must lay to heart Magick, Chapter XIV (pp. 106-122) and never forget one detail. More failure comes from neglect of this than from all other causes put together. Most of the qualities that you need are inborn; all the material is to your hand ; and to develop them is a natural process, equally your birthright. But the m…
260 SCIENCE AND BUDDHISM I take my refuge in the Sangha. These are not isolated efforts on my part ; although in one sense isolation is eternally perfect and can never be overcome,! in another sense associates are possible and desirable. One third of humanity are Buddhists ; add men of Science and we form an absolute majority; among Buddhists a very large proportion have deliberately gone out from social life of any kind to tread these paths of Research. Is the Way very hard? Is the brain tired? The results slow to come ? Others are work- ing, …
