Therefore is Fear of any Man that is in Commerce with his Genius, for none knoweth if his Law shall amend the Game or do it Hurt; and of this the Proof is in Experience, won after the Victory of his Will, when there is no Way of Return; as saith the Poet, Vestigia Nulla Retrorsum. Nor do thou fear to create: for, even as I have written in The Book o…

The final operation is'certainly most favourable; we shall see if it comes true. I can hardly believe it possible. Will now go for a stroll, get some milk, and settle down for the evening.

…different kind of electricity will be discovered which will bring as many profound changes into human living as the first type did. This new electricity wlll move in a finer ether than does our familiar kind, and thus will be nearer in vibration to the fifth dimension, to the innermost source of things, that realm of "withinness " wherein all is held poised by a colossal force, that same force which is packed within the atom. Electricity number two will be unthinkably more powerful than our present electricity number one. (V.S. Alder, The Fifth…

The sky she saw was, in spite of the Stars, inferior to the beauty she had endowed it with. The sweet face of her little friend even was less sweet to behold than it had been to her childish fancy.

… word "failure." And yet there is no page of this Book on which this word is not written; but so long as it is immediately followed by a new affirmation, all is not lost; and as in this Book the word "failure"' is thus made of little account, so also must the word "success " never be employed, for it is the last word that may be wTitten therein, and it is followed by a full stop. This full stop may never be written anywhere else; for the wTiting of the Book goes on eternally; there is no way of closing the record until the goal of all has been …

For ever I have lost thee, And I damn thee, for that thou hast seduced me far From the olden way of the gods. O Rose! Rose! Rose Unknown, ah! wherefore hast thou done this thing?

The classical Eight Jhanas will be useless to us; the Hindu system is almost as bad; the Qabalistic requires a preliminary knowledge of the Tree of Life whose explanation would require a volume to itself; but fortunately we have, in the Buddhist Skandhas and the Three Characteristics which deny them, a scheme easily assimilable to Western psychology.

And they would smite the hearer with such suddenness and vehemence that his inertia would not even find time to begin to operate. The present is such a moment. But people are not aware of it; they are still listening to the false prophets who prophesy smooth things. The critical situation of the world at present lies not in Europe. Europes fate is known. It lies in America and China. The attention of every man of even the smallest degree of for…
