THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Such is the first part of the Ritual of Initiation. In the second part the Master is made to understand what is that Abyss which he has passed. In the 11th Athyr he comes to the fortress upon the frontier of the Abyss, and is there prepared for the crossing of the Abyss. Every drop of his blood is taken for the cup of BABALON. The Candidate asks, “Is there not the Holy Guardian Angel?” And the answer is given, “ My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” It is the last word of the A2thyr. And of all the horror of…

Thus spake the Magister V.V.V.V.V. unto Adonai his God, as they played together in the starlight over against the deep black pool that is in the Holy Place of the Holy House beneath the Altar of the Holiest One. 16.

… and all his ministers had to pretend that they saw one; and the fraud passed undetected until a child in the street cried out: But the King is naked! Nowadays, however, people are not so easily undeceived. The child would very likely not be understood. The word naked is not in the vocabulary of the fashionable dressmaker; besides which, the word is improper. We know that there are no such things! So that even if a dawning perception of the meaning of the prophet strikes the more enlightened minds, it is often put aside with a sort of horro…

Having become indifferent to objects of perception, the pupil must seek out the Rajah (king) of the senses, the Thought-Producer, he (sa) who awakes illusion.

…se of their skill, know how to anticipate an effect, the which to the vulgar shall seem to be a miracle.” The Goetia of the Lemegeton of King Solomon. “Wherever sympathetic magic occurs in its pure unadulterated form, it is assumed that in nature one event follows another necessarily and invariably without the intervention of any spiritual or personal agency. Thus its fundamental conception is identical with that of modem science; underlying the whole System is a faith, implicit but real and firm, in the order and uniformity of nature. The magi…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Every child is aware that the mind possesses a power known as the reflective faculty. We hear ourselves talk; and we stand apart and see ourselves work and think. We stand aside from ourselves and anxiously or fearlessly watch and criticize our lives. There are two persons in us,—the thinker (or the worker) and the seer. The unwinding of the hoodwink from the eyes of the seer, for in most men the seer is, like a mummy, wrapped in the countless rags of thought, is what Yoga purposes to do: in other words, to accomp…

She had hoped for something exciting, but it was only her private tame pianist, a cadaverous individual with the manners of an undertaker gone mad, the morals of a stool-pigeon, and imagining himself a bishop.
