…ght hath indeed arisen in the darkness. THE ENGLISH SPIRIT It was in my mind to discourse freely upon this enga- ging topic ; but to say truth I am somewhat weary, having now written for some six hours, and being well assured that if I once laid down the pen nothing would persuade me to resume the distasteful task. For there is no ecstasy in argument and exposition as there is in Poetry. That is why journalists are such dull dogs, even when they start as brilliant men. My readers, too, may be weary. They may say to me, as Lord Tankerville said …

…this letter at all, and I am sorry that I had to write it. For most of these statements are insusceptible of proof. And yet I feel their truth much more strongly than I have ventured to express. How many times have I warned you against 'feelings'? Love is the law, love under will. Yours fraternally, 666

The nameless fear for self, ar hurled By death to dissolution vile, Fades as the royal truth is known : Though change and sorrow range and roll, There is no self—there is no so . The essay on Science and Buddhism (p. 244, vol. ii of The Collected Works) is valuable, proving as it does that Buddhistic philosophy is a logical development from observed facts. Captain Fuller declares that the Agnostic principles of “ Crowley anrty " may be summed up as follows: Believe nothing till you find it out fo…

To the Initiate is Certainty of his Fulfilment, which to the Profane is but the Effect of Hazard, and he feareth to lose what he loveth, or thinketh he loveth. But we, loving only in Light, suffer not by Fear or by Bereavement, because to us every Event is Welcome, being right, necessary and proper to our particular Path.

…ly entrenched in our natures that we act automatically as if it were 'true' and 'certain without error', perhaps even 'of the essence of truth'. (Browning discusses this in Mr. Sludge the Medium. ) Good: the fIeld is clear for an enquiry into this word 'God' . We fInd ourselves in trouble from the start. We must defIne, and to defIne is to limit; and to limit is to reduce 'God' to 'a God' or at best 'the God'. He must be omniscient omnipotent and omnipresent (8) ; yet to such a Being no purpose would be possible; so that all the apologies for t…

… have also been told that the battle was won by the Belgians. Now, all these things are merely matters of opinion. There may be a little truth in some of them. But we have practically no means of finding out exactly how much, even if our documentary support is valid to establish any of these theories. It is, also, almost impossible to estimate the causes of any given event, if only because those causes are infinite, and each one of them is to a certain extent an efficient determining cause. Take a quite simple matter like the time of year. If i…

…m the Yellow School in that it considers the Universe not as neutral, but as definitely a curse. Its primary theorem is the 'First Noble Truth' of the Buddha- "Everything is Sorrow." In the primitive classics of this School the idea of sorrow is confused with that of sin. (This idea of universal lamentation is presumably responsible for the choice of black as its symbolic colour. And yet? Is not white the Chinese hue of mourning?) The analysis of the philosophers of this School refers every phenomenon to the category of sorrow. It is quite usel…

They move in accordance with their own Wills, which are each unique, yet coherent with the universal will.
