…dy will be closed. It is sometimes difficult to open them. You will then perceive all sorts of forms, varying as you travel about. Their nature will depend almost entirely on your power of control. Some people may even perceive the phantoms of delirium and madness, and truly go mad from fear and horror. Let the “astral” body return and sit down, coinciding with the physical body. Closely unite the two: the experiment is over. Practice makes perfect. This practice is delusive and even dangerous; it is best to precede and follow it by a carefully…

…") are spelt out. But this is a rather different symbolism. Of course in ordinary specialised working the number of lamps depends on the nature of the work, e.g., three for works of Saturn, eight for works Mercurial, and so on. ^ Or sometimes of " birth-strangled babes," i.e., of thoughts slain ere they could arise into consciousness.
…His law, for the Jewish Decalogue is also the law of Christians. The law is immutable because it is founded on the eternal principles of Nature; but the worship necessitated by the needs of man may change, and modify itself, parallel with the changes in men themselves. This signifies that the worship itself is immutable, but modifies itself as language does. Worship is a form of instruction; it is a language; one must translate it when nations no longer understand it. G2 83

… continuous process can be conveniently symbolized; but the number 4 lends it‐ self, not only to this rigid extension, the hard facts of nature, but also to the transcendence of space and time by a continuously self‐compensating change. The letter Tau is attributed to Saturn, the outermost and slowest of the seven sacred planets; because of these dull, heavy qualities, the element of earth was thrust upon the sym‐ bol. The original three elements, Fire, Air, Water, sufficed for primitive thought; Earth and

(Note that the Nature of each Decan is shown by the small card attributed to it, and by the symbols given in Liber DCCLXXVII, cols. 149‐151.) Fifth Operation FINAL RESULT 1. Shuffle, ec., as before. 2. Deal into ten packs in the form of the Tree of Life. 3.

… any question, headstrong, haughty, a seething hell-broth of hate; and this fact disables your judgment." All perfectly true. My equable nature is congenitally hostile to extreme measures, except in imagination. I cannot bear sudden violent movements. Climbing rocks, people used to say that I didn't climb them, that I oozed over them! This explains, I think, my deep-seated dislike of many passages in The Book of the Law. "0 prophet! thou hast ill will to learn this writing. I see thee hate the hand and the pen; but I am stronger." (AL, II: 10, …
…ke Her, there came unto me another like unto Her, so that I am confused in my Mind and bewildered. And this other Woman stirreth my true Nature in its Depth, so that I will not call it Love. For the Voice of Love I know of old; but this other Woman speaketh in a Tongue whereof I have no Understanding. k
…it is all a Trick of Her Wit, and a Device of Her Delight, that Sin should appear, and also (Mark thou well!) the Misapprehension of its Nature. Therefore the Pain of any Sinner in his Division and His Separation is to Her a little Spasm of Pleasure. But as for him, let him apprehend this Doctrine, and dissolve himself in Her Love. Thou then, being Initiate and Illuminated in this Truth, mayst accept thine own Sorrow, or rather that of thy Vehicle, as Lackey to the Joy hat thou hast in thy True Self, the Star among the Stars of Her Body. The Ad…

With what awe does the wise man approach a speck of dust! And it is this Mystery that I approach! For Thou, Adonai, art the immanent and essential Soul of Things ; not separate from them, or from me; but That which is behind the shadow—show, the Cause of all, the Quintessence of All, the Transcender of all. And Thee I seek insistently; though Thou hide Thy- self in the Heaven, there wi…
…or to deny it implies thought; Negatur is only a sub-section of Cogitatur. This involves, however, an axiom that the part is of the same nature as the whole; or (at the very least) an axiom that Ais A. Now, I do not wish to deny that 4 is 4, or may occa- sionally be 4. But certainly 4 7s A is a very different statement to our original Cogitatur. The proof of Cogitatur, in short, rests not upon itself but upon the validity of our logic; and if by logic we mean (as we should mean) the Code of the Laws of Thought, the irritating sceptic will have …
…alence of syphilis in the Indian army has in- creased from 8 % to 80 % lest God should be shocked by our unholy recognition of the human nature of the human soldier. It is useless to multiply examples. All I wish to do is to justify my agreement with Shelley and Nietzsche in
THE WOODCUTTER PLACIDE GERVEZ was a woodcutter, like his father and grandfather before him. It is to be supposed that Nature was weary of the procession, for Placide had never married, but lived alone in his hut in the forest of Fontainebleau, just too far from the borders for it ever to be worth his while to go into a village for a drink except on very special occasions. He had even been overlooked for military service; and the Prussians had come and gone without interfering with his chopping. He could not read or write, and his language had m…

…in of knowledge. But that a field for research is opened up no sane man may doubt. Nor may one question that the very first fact is of a nature disruptive of difficulty philosophical and reasonable ; since the phenomenon does not invoke the assent of the reasoning faculty. The argu- ments which reason may bring to bear against it are self-destructive; reason has given con- sciousness the lie, but consciousness survives and smiles. R eason is a part of consciousness and can never be greater than the whole ; this Spencer sees; but reason is not e…
