…us and Nero. To protest against violence by violence, is to justify it, and to force it to reproduce itself. But to triumph over evil by good, over selfishness by self- abnegation, over ferocity by pardon, that is the secret of Christianity, and it is that of eternal victory. I have seen the place where the earth still bledfrom the murder of Abel, and on that place there ran a brook of tears. Under the guidance of the centuries, myriads of men moved on, letting fall their tears into the brook. And Eternity, crouching mournful, gazed upon the te…

You can see it in Liber 418, where, as soon as a certain stage is reached, the great curse turns into an inef- fable blessing. In the Book of Lies, too, the same idea is stated again and again, with repetition only unwearying because of the beauty and variety of the form. “Everything is sorrow,” says th…

…ty to read it again presented itself. For despite its wit and humor, Magick without Tears is a serious, sober and sophisticated piece of good writing. It dazzles, but in a rather more restrained way than his antecedent work. It requires quiet study and sober meditation to appreciate its scholarship, its profound insight and its great worth. The letters that comprise this volume were written fairly close to the end of Crowley's life here on earth. (It seems difficult at this writing to realize that he was born almost a century ago-in 1875!) Some…

Bunyan forgets to mention that by the time Passion had broken all his toys, he had outgrown them. Karma does not act in this tit-for-tat way. An eye for an eye is a sort of savage justice, and the idea of justice in our human sense is quite foreign to the constitution of the Universe. Karma is the Law of Cause and Effect.
