Theoreti- cally, everything should be ready by the beginning of the Operation; and one should simply do it and be done with it. But this is a very shallow view. One never knows what may be required; i.e., a beginner like myself doesn’t. Further, one cannot write an effective Ritual till one is already in a fairly exalted state . . . and so On. We must …

Possibly the conviction of the irresistibility of the connection of cause and effect, the consciousness of the necessity of sub- ject and object to each other through immutable glyphs may represent it. It may be that my experience of hashish is even more imperfect than I have supposed, and that more gifted experimenters might fill…
