To me it is (a) convenient in various practical ways, (b) a machine for carrying out the orders of the Secret Chief…

And this time may Adonai build the House! Instead I met Dr. R , who kindly offered to teach me how to obtain astral visions! (P.S.—The t…

… to take care of themselves. Our sole preoccupation is how best to make use of our lives. Now the O.T.O. is in possession of one supreme secret. The whole of its system at the time when I became an initiate of the Sanctuary of the Gnosis (IX°) was directed towards communicating to its members, by progressively plain hints, this all-important instruction. I personally believe that if this secret, which is a scientific secret, were perfectly understood, as it is not even my me after more than twelve years' almost constant study and experiment, th…

None Can hear thee, of the souls beneath the sun. Speak, or the very Godhead in thee dies. For we are many and thy name is One.” The Godhead in me! came The jealous secret and the guarded name.

The Cult of The Dying God introduced by Dionysus destroyed the Roman virtue and smashed the Roman culture. (Possibly the introduction of the worship of Osiris in an ear…

Knowing what the secret actually is, I cannot attach much importance to artificial mysteries.
