I want to seduce an honest woman.” ‘Ah! that is bad, but I can never refuse anything to a friend. Here they are.

… the progressive church, and the stationary church. One is active, the other is passive: one has mastered the nations and governs them always, since kings fear it; the other has submitted to every despotism, and can be nothing but an instrument of slavery. The active church realizes God for men, and alone believes in the divinity of the human Word, as an interpreter of that of God. What after all is the infallibility of the Pope, but the auto- cracy of intelligence, confirmed by the universal vote of faith? In this case, one might say, the Pope…

And now I see the ever- narrowing Portals on the hard and thorny way to Gnydana.” This continues a vision which resembles, only too pain- fully, the coloured prints of the Broad and Narrow Ways so familiar to those unfortunates whose business takes them through Paternoster Row. 11. Thou seest well, Lanoo. These Portals lead the aspi- rant across the waters on “to the other shore.” Each Portal hath a golden key that openeth its gate; and these keys are: The expression “the o…

And as should always be the case with homo sapiens, the most important part of the impression is given by the head. Such a brow is only seen in the worlds greatest thinkers. Mr. Stuart was born in 1864 in Brooklyn, N.Y. His father, John Stuart, was a Captain of the 51st and Lieutenant Colonel of the 63rd New York Volunteers. His is the perfect and ideal type, fast disappearing, of the aristocratic American. Mr. Stuart was ed…

…hisattvas, and therefore, as there shall not be a single grain of dust which shall not attain to Buddhahood, every existing thing is ina way a Bodhisattva. But of course in practice the term is confined to these special incarnations of the only Buddha of whom we have any such record. It is, therefore, ridiculous to place Srotapatti as a Soul of inferior grade to Bodhisattva. Buddha did not become a Srotapatti until seven incarnations before he attained to Buddhahood. The last part of the verse and the long note (of which we quote the gist) are …

All day we waited for the rain to stop falling in the place "where it never fell". Night came and the blizzard redoubled its violence; but the shelter allowed us a little sleep until the mud dissolved and the roof became a sieve. The rest of the night was a shower-bath. In the morning there was no great sign of improvement. I had to kick the camel driver into action and chase the camels with my own…

…en he wished every pigeon in the world at the devil? Now this wish has never really arisen in John St. John ; however bad he feels, he always feels that Attainment is the only possible way out of it. This is the good Karma of his ten years’ constant striving. Well, in the upshot, he will get back to Work at once, and hope that his few hours in the world may prove a true strategic movement to the rear, and not a euphemism for rout!

There is to be a modern centralized business organization at the Kaaba— which, We think, does not mean Boleskine, but any conve- nient headquarters.

It is with this in view that the verse tells us that the Soul must be united to the Silent Speaker. The words “Silent Speaker” may be con- sidered as a hieroglyph of the same character as LOGOS, 378, or the Ineffable Name. 12. For then the Soul will hear and will remember. The word “hear” alludes to the tradition that hearing is the organ of Spirit, j…
