YUN ID O Man, of a daring nature, thou subtle production ! Thou wilt not comprehend it, as when understanding some common thing: Onacuzs oF Zonoastes. J presenting this theory of the Universe to the world, T have but one hope of making any profound impres- sion, viz.—that my theory has the merit of explaining the divergences between three great forms of re now existing in the world—Buddhism, Hinduism, and Christianity, and of adapting them to ontological science by conclusions not mystical but mathematical. Of Mohammedanism I shall not now trea…

…oon were sympathetic, and came, that Part of them, from a common Principle: and that a Camel being yellow brown, it partook of the Earth Nature, to which that Colour is given. Thence they said that by taking all the Natures involved, and by blending them in the just Proportions, one might have a Camel. But this is no more than is said by the Upholders of the Atomic Theory. They have their Storehouses of Carbon, Oxygen, and such (not in one Place, but no more is Geburah in one Place), and what is Organic Chemistry but the Production of useful Co…

… any case no more than a reflection upon the facts of physical life. 3. What hope there may be in Investigation of the physical facts of Nature on Scientific lines is already actively sought after by a powerful and well-organised body of men of perfect probity and high capacity. 4. There is no hope in Faith, for there are many warring Faiths, all equally positive. 5. The adepts of Spiritual Experience promise us won- derful things, the Perception of Truth, and the Conquest of Sorrow, and there is enough unity in their method to make an Eclectic…

…gious organizations. St. Paul had not been intriguing with an ambitious general. Each came back poor; each came back alone. What was the nature of their power? What happened to them in their absence? History will not help us to solve the problem, for history is silent. We have only the accounts given by the men themselves. It would be very remarkable should we find that these accounts agree. Of the great teachers we have mentioned Christ is silent; the other four tell us something; some more, some less. Buddha goes into details too elaborate to …

…ten much unto thee, because His Doctrine has been lost or misinterpreted, and it is most needful to restore it. For this Tao is the true Nature of Things, being itself a Way or Going, that is, a kinetic and not a static Conception. Also He taught this Way of Harmony in Will, which I myself have thought to show thee in this little book. So then this Tao is Truth, and the Way of Truth, and therefore was He Logos of His Æon, and His true Name or Word was Tao. i

…l to them. And he most hindereth himself who hindereth others from their Path, or who constraineth them to some motion improper to their Nature. Note also this that many men, feeling themselves the bitterness of Restriction, seek to relieve their own pain by imposing a like burden upon their fellows: as it were a cripple who should seek ease by mutilating the bearers of his carriage. Also, to deny the Law of Thelema is a restriction in oneself, affirming conflict in the Universe as necessary. It is a blasphemy against the Self, assuming that it…

O fruitless veil Of the strange self of its own self begotten ! O vision laughterless! O shadowy tale! O brain that halts before its thought forgotten !

…It is thou, it is thou, lone maiden! My heart is a bird that flies Far into the azure laden with love-lorn songs and cries. O Goddess of Nature and Love! is the lover I see. But thou art in the above, and thy kiss is not for me. Thyself Thou art all too far for my kiss; thou art hidden past my prayer. Thy wing too wide, and the bliss too sweet for me to share. Thou art Nature and God! Iam broken in the wheelings of thy car ; Thy love-song unheard or ‘unspoken, and I cannot see thy star.

…lf innate, implicit. Horror, deeper grief, most dreadful musings Theirs who penetrate the poet’s purpose ! So in all the passing joys of nature, Joys of birth, and joys of life, in pleasures Beautiful or innocent or stately, May the wise discern the fact of being— Change and death, the tragedy deep-lurking Hidden in the laughter of the people, So that laughter’s self grows gross and hateful. Then the Noble Truth of Sorrow quickens Every heart, and, seeking out its causes, Still the one task of the wise, their wisdom Finds desire, and, seeking o…
