They make themselves believed, they make them- selves followed, and when they say, “This is thus,” Nature changes (in a sense) to the eyes of the vulgar, and becomes what the great man wished. “This is my flesh and this is my blood,” said a Man who had made himself God by his virtues; and eighteen centuries, in the presence of a piece of bread and a little wine, have seen, touched, tasted and adored flesh and blood made divine by martyrdom! Say now, that the human will accomplishes no miracles ! 207

…tter to fulfil one’s destiny consciously and joyously than like a stone; but lam on my guard. I will return to plain politics and common sense. Our Founder, then, when he thought over this matter from a purely practical standpoint, remembered those institutions with which he was familiar, which flourished. He bethought him of monasteries like Monsalvat, of uni- versities like Cambridge, of golf clubs like Hoylake, of social clubs like the Cocoa-Tree, of co-operative societies, and, having sojourned in America, of Trusts. In his mind he expanded…

In that state one understands all sorts of non- sense. “© Thou foursquare Crown of Nothing, that _ Circlest the destruction of Worlds! I adore Thee, ' Evoe! I adore Thee,I A O!” I flushed with rage, understanding enough to know what Lou must be feeling as she rolled forth those passionate, senseless words from her volcanic mouth. Gretel’s suggestion trickled into my brain. “This beastly alcohol brutalises men. Why is Lou so superb? She has breathed the pure…

…o these shall breed lust & power of lust in you at the eating thereof. Commentary: The word “lust” is not necessarily to be taken in the sense familiar to Puritans. It means robustness, “merri ment” as of old understood: the Germans have retained the proper force of the term in lustig. But even the English retain “lusty.” The Puritan is undoubtedly a marvel. He has even succeeded in attaching a foul connotation to a colourless word like “certain”—“In a section of the city with a certain reputation women of a certain class suffering from certai…

In an instant I felt my life extinguisned, but knew that it was by annihilation, not by death. When I awoke out of the hasheesh state I was as over- whelmed to find myself still in existence as a dead man of the last century could be were he now suddenly restored to earth. For a while, even in perfect consciousness, I believed I was still dreaming, and to this dayI have so little los…

…l things are necessarily comprehended in it$ but its use in a magical ceremony is little understood. The climax of the formula is in one sense before even the formulation of the Yod. For the Yod is the most divine aspect of the Force —the remaining letters are but a solidification of the same thing. It must be understood that we are here speaking of the whole ceremony considered as a unity, not merely of that formula in which Yod is the God invoked, Hé the Archangel, and so on. In order to understand the ceremony under this formula, we must tak…

… my general spiritual life of the period, as will appear later. I was genuinely fond of my Aunt Ada. She was womanly in the oldfashioned sense of the word; a purely passive type. Naturally talented though she was, she was both ignorant and bigoted. In her situation, she could not have been anything else. But her opinions did not interfere with her charity. A woman of infinite kindness. Her health was naturally delicate; an attack of rheumatic fever had damaged her heart and she died before her time. The meanness and selfishness of my Uncle Tom …

How did you come to this? What caused you to take the attire of a man in place of the usual brown coat of a cover ?” His companion—friend or master—bade him keep silent for…
