…ne simply goes off to sleep. This is not necessarily due to the brain-fatigue induced by (2) and (6); for with one sample of Cannabis, I found it to occur independently.
…t is written in the Book 01 the Law. All this have I been taught by her whose purity and strength are even as Earth’s, chosen before the foundation of Time. Lioness with lion, may we walk by night among the ruins 01 great cities, when, weary with happiness too great even 101 our immortality, we turn from the fragrance and fertility 01 Earth. And at the sunrise return where the peopled valleys call us; where, bronzed and buoyant, our children sing aloud as they drive home the spade. Glory be to the Earth and to the Sun and to the holy body and s…

Foreword Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. The Book of the Law was the foundation of Aleister Crowley’s life’s work, and its commentaries a problem that vexed him for most of his adult life, almost since the book’s reception in 1904 E.v. His basic difficulty with producing a commentary was a lack of objectivity. He was too close to The Book of the Law, on too many levels, to be able to easily write about it, let alone judge what other people might find helpful by way of commentary. He made numerous attempts over the years, only t…
…f sensations which we group under the name of a rose.” In such a world lives the sensuous artist. Next, these modifications of sense are found to be but percepts; the pleasure or pain vanishes; and the sensations are observed coldly and clearly without allowing the mind to be affected. This perception (Saiifia) is the world of the surgeon or the man of science. Next, the perception itself is seen to be dependent on the 58
…, the fearful tapestry of torturing thought was rent asunder, the voices of many angels sang to him. ‘Master! Master!” he cried, ‘I have found Thee . . . O silver Christ. . . .” Then all was Nothingness . . . nothing... nothing... nothing; and madly his horse carried him into the night. Thus he set out on his mystic quest towards that goal which he had seen, and which seemed so near; and yet, as we shall learn, proved to be so far away. In the first volume of the diaries, we find him deep in the study of the Alchemistic philosophers. Poring ove…

…ly, my dear “ sister ” Isabelle, caused me one day to knock their heads together and walk out of the house. They sent me to Cambridge. I found myself my own master, and settled down to lead a righteous, sober and godly life ; and to make up for lost time in the matter of education. Outside purely scholastic subjects, they had taught me to fight, to love the truth, to hate oppression, — and by God ! I think they taught me well. On my soul, I should thank them !
…y rather than be subjected to it, or even behold it in another. The account of the further dealings of Choronzon with the Scribe will be found in the Record of Omnia Vincam. THE Cry OF THE 9TH AETHYR, WHICH IS CALLED ZIP. (The terrible Curse that is the Call of the Thirty Aethyrs sounds like a song of ecstasy and triumph; every phrase in it has a secret meaning of blessing.) The Shew-stone is of soft lucent white, on which the Rose- Cross shows a brilliant yet colourless well of light. And now the veil of the stone is rent with a clap of thunde…
…rget who) that wrote: "Folks in the loomp, is baad." It is true all round. Someone wisely took note that the vilest man alive had always found someone to love him. Remember the monster that Sir Frederick Treves picked up from an East End peep-show, and had petted by princesses? (What a cunning trick!) Revolting, all the same, to read his account of it. He-the monster, not Treves!-seems to have been a most charming individual-ah! That's the word we want. Every individual has some qualities that endear him to some other. And per contra, 1 doubt i…

But when I returned from a visit to B e on an errand of comradeship—b; hours’ talk to cut out of this mantra-yoga—I found all sorts of people at the Dome, where I drank a Citron presse: they detained me in talk, and at 6.30 Maryt turned up and I had to chew a sandwich and drink coffee while she dined. I feel a little headache; it will pass. She is up here now with me, but I shall try to meditate. Charming as she is, I don't want to make love to her. Mixed mantra and caresses rather a success. (At her request I gave M. a min…
…s a trap, their sweet voices were meant to delude me; the sirens had been sent by those who could not but mean persecution against me. I found this out as soon as I understood them. They wanted my flowers. With a supple and harmonious gesture, they suggested that I should let them have the mystical roses. As soon as I perceived their intentions I felt the most intense impulse to murder them. We talked for a long time without being able to gather much of each other’s thoughts. At last I turned to the books in the coffin, and in the book containi…

…e been through another terrible ordeal. I don’t know how long ago since I came down from the north tower. The noise was really a shot. I found Peter on the floor with the pistol by his side, and blood pouring from a wound in his breast. I understood immediately what I had to do. It was impossible to send for a doctor. The scandal of the suicide would make life impossible ever after, and he would immediately discover that it was due to dope. The burden must be on my own shoulders. I must nurse my boy back to life. I remember that I had been too …
