THE EQUINOX Twenty-one minutes past one o’clock—the day was marching towards its first duality. The door opened behind him, and the creaking wood caused him to jump up. The daughter of his host stood in her night-garments, a poem in pale green and white. She said nothing; and he imitated the wisdom of her silence. His heart began a wild, unhealthy fandango; his temples ached; his legs shook under him. He felt himself paling; strange impulses prompted him to a return to ances- tral savagery. Alas, he sadly lacked experience. However, the woman h…

THE EQUINOX On the second day after his arrival in the village where Ljubov lived, he noticed the child and her marvellous beauty. For hours, having retired to the house belonging to a rich lady whose guest he was, he drivelled, with before him the enrapturing vision of Ljubov’s priceless jewels. He proceeded carefully; made friends with all the children; and, the seventh day having come, he met her outside the village, by chance— so she thought—and made her a present of a few trifling ornaments. Then he placed over his own eyes two empty shell…

THE EQUINOX giving the sign of his grade. And let him say in a loud voice: Hail unto Thee, who art Tum in Thy setting, even unto Thee who art Tum in Thy joy, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Down-going of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra- Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Day! 4. Lastly, at Midnight, let him greet the Sun, facing North, giving the sign of his grade. And let him say in a loud voice : Hail unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy hiding, even unto Thee who art Kheph…

THE EQUINOX and theft are negations of society; it is the isolated despotism of an individual who usurps royalty, and makes war at his own risk and peril. Crime should doubtless be repressed, and society must defend itself; but who is so just, so great, so pure, as to pretend that he has the right to punish ? Peace then to all who fall in war, even in unlawful war! For they have staked their heads and they have lost them; they have paid, and what more can we ask of them? Honour to all those who fight bravely and loyally! Shame only on the trait…

The Voice of the Nadi has changed to a music faint yet very full and very sweet, with a bell—like tone more insistent than the other notes at intervals Again awake, and patient-eager. The dreams flow through me ceaselessly. This time a house where Ι, like a new Bluebeard, have got to conceal my wives from each other. But my foolish omission to knife them brings it about that I…

THE EQUINOX 8. Let him further employ such special invocations as will cause to appear the particular places he may wish to visit. g. Let him beware of the thousand subtle attacks and deceptions that he will experience, carefully testing the truth of all with whom he speaks. Thus a hostile being may appear clothed with glory; the appropriate pentagram will in such a case cause him to shrivel or decay. 10. Practice will make the student infinitely wary in these matters. 11. It is usually quite easy to return to the body, but should any difficult…

THE EQUINOX worker, who grips life’s throat and wrings out its secret, who selects austerely and composes concisely, whose work is as true and clean as razor-steel, albeit its sweep is vaster and swifter than the sun’s ! The discursive prattle of such superficial twaddlers as Longfellow and Tennyson is the most deadly poison of the mind. All this is true enough in the merest exoteric necessity of adult civilisation. But if we are to go further into the nature of things, to dive deeper than the chemist, soar higher than the poet, look wider than…

THE EQUINOX And the third Adept examines the skin and tastes the sweat of my left arm, and says: TAN, TAN, TAN, TAN. And the fourth Adept examines my neck, and seems to approve, though he says nothing; and he hath opened the right half of my brain, and he makes some examination, and says: “Samajh, samajh, samajh.” And the fifth Adept examines the left half of my brain, and then holds up his hand in protest, and says “PLA .. .” (I cannot get the sentence, but the meaning is: In the thick darkness the seed awaiteth spring.) And now am I again rap…

THE EQUINOX now and again. He then closed the volume with a snap, and said in a tone of infinite finality: “Inferentially inadequate data machicholated cerebrothoracically.” “ By jingo!” replied his father, “ but you're rr!” In this position there was only one weak point. There are people who understand the Integral Calculus, and there are people capable of disentangling words and sentences. Or rather, at that time, that was so. The art of darkening counsel was in its infancy. The future saint was predestined to change all that. Arthur were wis…

THE EQUINOX he will be under the dominion of an entirely new set of the type of Rajo-Guna, the principle of Activity, and soon. To the advanced Student a simple ordinary thought, which seems little or nothing to the beginner, becomes a great and terrible fountain of iniquity, and the higher he goes, up toa certain point, the point of definitive victory, the more that is the case. The beginner can think, ‘it is ten o’clock,’ and dismiss the thought. To the mind of the adept this sentence will awaken all its possible correspondences, all the refl…

THE EQUINOX 76. Withhold thy mind from all external objects, all ex- ternal sights. Withhold internal images, lest on thy Soul- light a dark shadow they should cast. This is the usual instruction once more, but, going further, it intimates that the internal image or reality of the object must be destroyed as well as the outer image and the ideal image. 77. Thou art now in DHARANA, the sixth stage. DHARANA has been explained thoroughly in Book 4, q.v- 78. When thou hast passed into the seventh, O happy one, thou shalt perceive no more the sacred…
