…eed, and seeketh thy Medicine, that is of right compounded for High Purpose, to ease her Infirmity.

…Its own decay. I should be happy then, Cast like a leper from the paths of men, And this dull earth’s desires should be forgot In my own mind’s dear world, where Heaven is blue, And the green bosom of the land lets through The purple of the violets, begot On tears by kisses, where the early dew Glistens in no sun’s beams but in those eyes Wherein my life-love lies. The Fear of Hell is past by virtue of The sweet shed blood that burns out sin ; the Fear Of living on beyond that silent year When I shall follow to the grave of love All that is lef…

…e is such a place.” So do I account for the fact by saying “there is such a fact.” We try to imitate Eastern narrative, but in vain. Our minds can find no clew to its strange untrodden by-ways of speculation; our highest soarings are still in an atmosphere which feels heavy with the reek and damp of ordinary life. We fail to account for those storm-wrapped peaks of sub- limity which hover over the path of Oriental story, or those beauties which, like rivers of Paradise, make music beside it. We are all of us taught to say, “ The children of the…

…thing occurs with adequate concentration on any object. It is connected, curiously enough, with the phenomena of invisibility. When your mind has gone so deeply into itself that it is unconscious of itself and its surroundings, one of the most ordinary results is that the body becomes invisible to other people. I do not think that it would make any difference for a photograph, though I have no evidence for saying this; but it has happened to me on innumerable occasions. It was an almost daily occurrence when I was in Sicily. 13. A party of us u…
…t least we are deluding ourselves into thinking that we are doing it, and the point is that, according to tradition, if you can hold the mind still for as much as twelve seconds you will get one of the highest results of Yoga. It is certainly a fact that when you are doing a cycle of 20 seconds out, 10 in, and 30 holding, there is quite a long period during the holding period when the mind does tend to stop its malignant operations. By the time this cycle has become customary, you are able to recognise instinctively the arrival of the moment wh…

The mind, exalted, fortified, initiated by the Holy Magick, was then in that very state of divine tension to concentrate itself on that Self-glittering One.) It is time to break off for a moment from the Diary to ask the reader to remark how extraordinarily full is this passage of P.'s life.

… As As. THE PRELIMINARY LECTION In the Name of the Initiator, Amen. 1. In the beginning was Initiation. The flesh profiteth nothing; the mind profiteth nothing; that which is un- known to you and above these, while firmly based upon their equilibrium, giveth life. 2. In all systems of religion is to be found a system of Initiation, which may be defined as the process by which a man comes to learn that unknown Crown. 3.
