And still, standing as I stand in the prime of early manhood, free from all the fetters of the body and the mind, do I curse the memory thereof unto the ages. It was a good enough school from the point of exami- ners, I dare say. Morally and physically it was an engine of destruction and corruption. I am just going to put down a few facts haphazard as they come to my memory ; you may form your own judgment. I.

…mma is to take verse 15 ina very elementary sense. Let us paraphrase that verse. “Try to get into the habit of thinking of your mind and body as distinct. Attach yourself to matters of eternal impor- tance, and do not be deluded by the idea that the material universe is real. Try to realise the unity of being.” That is a sensible and suitable instruction, a kind of adumbration of the goal. It harmonises emotional and intellectual concep- tions to—that which subsequently turns out not to be reality. 17. Thou shalt not separate thy being from BEI…

…oxhunters, Freemasons, Jews, "heaven-born," women's clubwomen (espeically in U.S.A.), "Methody," golfers, dog-lovers; you can't find one body without its 'natural' enemies.

… So I returned; having difficulty to find the earth. But I called on S.R.M.D. and V.N.R., who were glad to see me; and returned into the body: to waste the night in gibing at a foolish medico. My actions continually testify that I naturally possessed what is after all the most essential asset for a Magician, in singular perfection. It came natural to me to despise and reject utterly, without a second's hesitation or regret, anything soever that stood in the way of my purpose. Equally, I could hold that purpose itself as nothing in comparison wi…

…ll, I’ve woke myself writing this. The point that really struck me was this: what would happen if by severe training I forced my “astral body "—damn it! isn’t there a term for it free from L. . . . -pro- stitution? (One speaks of “les deux prostitutions”; so it’s all right.) My Sein—Laeca, then—what would happen if I forced my Scin—Laecato become a Whirling Dervish?
