THE EQUINOX words, “Soul” means Neshamah, and it is important for Neshamah to fix its attention on Chiah, rather than on Ruach. 67. Beware of change! For change is thy great foe. This.change will fight thee off, and throw thee back, out of the Patch thou threadest, deep into viscous swamps of doubt. The only. difficulty in this verse is the word “change.” People who are meditating often get thrown off by the cir- cumstances of their lives, and these circumstances must be controlled absolutely. It should, however, also be taken to refer to any c…

THE EQUINOX he would not do was—what he was told! It was impossible, and there was an end of the matter. However, he was obliged to go to his house in Scotland on business, and he arrived there on June 15. Two days later he was joined by two disciples. One of these was interested in mountaineering, and had asked him for a pair of his ski. Several pairs were discovered in the loft. Some days later he determined to look. for four large canvases, on which, nine years earlier, he had painted in their proper colours the Four Watch Towers of the univ…

THE EQUINOX pomp of atheists, coupled by two and by two in the supernal ecstasy of the stars. They did laugh and rejoice exceed- ingly, being clad in purple robes and drunken with purple wine, and their whole soul was one purple flower-flame of holiness. 35. They beheld not God; they beheld not the Image of God; therefore were they arisen to the Palace of the Splen- dour Ineffable. A sharp sword smote out before them, and the worm Hope writhed in its death-agony under their feet. 36. Even as their rapture shore asunder the visible Hope, so also…

THE EQUINOX quiet wilds. From Aranyéni He became the Teacher of man- kind. After Julai had entered the Nirvana, He preached on mount and plain, and held discourses in the cities, to Devas, men and Gods. Reference is here made to the attainment of the Buddha. It was only after he had abandoned the Ascetic Life that he attained, and so far from manifesting that attainment by non-action, he created a revolution in India by attacking the Caste system, and by preaching his law created a Karma so violent that even to-day its primary force is still ac…

This new electricity wlll move in a finer ether than does our familiar kind, and thus will be nearer in vibration to the fifth dimensi…

12.17. 12.43. 74 THE EQUINOX me! I am as a little white dove tremblingupon Thine altar, its throat stretched out to the knife. I am as a young child bought in the slave-market . . . and night is fallen! I await Thee, Ο my Lord, with a great longing, stronger than Life; yet am I as patient as Death. There was a certain Darwesh whose turban a thief stole. But when they said to him, “ See ! he hath taken the road to Damascus !" that holy man answered, as he went quietly to the cemetery, “I will await him here ! " So, therefore, there is one place,…

THE EQUINOX Now at last the time being come, did I take my chamber in the House. And upon the secret things that were there shown to me I ponder yet; so that in this place I shall make no mention of them. But this treasure will I give out, that everything noble in that House seemeth vile to them that are swimming in the stream; and everything vile to them appeareth noble. Thus they endure not the delicate stuffs with rough and impure handling; and the rubbish they carry away with them, and devour. Thus wisely hath the master of the House ordain…

THE EQUINOX And the flesh, alas! is the core of thee. Be it so. I have wandered through the worlds in seeking thee, And I have found thee, and thou art as pure As dung, as sweet as sweat, as light as lust. All these, all these I have found, oh, bitterness! O forsaken one, whom I have found, thou art ravished By the phallus of Time, of Time that pierceth thee So keenly that thou art torn, thy virgin body A prey to the lust of Time! Oh, bitterness ! Oh, threefold sadness! I have found thee now Too late, too late, too late. I am weary of flesh; It…

THE EQUINOX Every action produces a reaction. This is the universal law of the world. Christianity must needs produce anti-Christianity. Antichrist is the shadow, the foil, the proof of Christ. Antichrist already produced itself in the Church in the time of the Apostles: St. Paul said :—‘ For the mystery of iniquity doth already work; only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked One be revealed. . . .”? The Protestants said: “Antichrist is the Pope.” The Pope replied : “‘ Every heretic is an Ant…

THE EQUINOX anyone who is well acquainted with the analogies of Nature. It is certain that in diluting beyond measure, or in coagulating suddenly, the plastic medium of a subject, it is possible to loose the body from the soul. It is sometimes sufficient to arouse a violent anger, or an overmastering fear in anyone, to kill him suddenly. The habitual use of magnetism usually puts the subject who abandons himself to it at the mercy of the magnetizer. When communication is well-established, and the magnetizer can produce at will slumber, insensib…

THE EQUINOX waken her, but it is too late; the crime was accomplished; the woman was dead. It was to the public incredulity in the matter of magnetism that the authors of this sacrilegious experiment owed their own immunity from prosecution. The authorities held an inquest, and death was attributed to the rupture of an aneurism. The body, anyhow, bore no trace of violence; they had it buried, and there was an end of the matter. Here is another anecdote which we heard from a travelling companion. Two friends were staying in the same inn, and sha…

THE EQUINOX 5. They shall respond heartily to every summons of the Lodge or Chapter to which they may belong, not lightly making excuse. 6. Brethren should use every opportunity of assisting each other in their tastes, businesses, or professions, whether by direct dealing with Brethren in preference to others, or by speaking well of them, or as may suggest itself. It seems desirable, when possible, that where two or more Brethren of the same Lodge are engaged in the same work, they should seek to amalgamate the same by entering into part- nersh…

THE EQUINOX —bliss immediate, and at the other—bliss deferred. Both are of merit the reward; the choice is thine. The “four and seven Portals” refer, the first to the four stages ending in Arhat, the second to the Portals referred to in the third Fragment. 76. The One becomes the two, the Open and the Secret. The first one leadeth to the goal, the second, to Self-Immola- tion. The obvious meaning of the verse is the one to take. However, I must again warn the reader against supposing that “Self-Immolation” has anything to do with Sir Philip Sid…

THE EQUINOX trying for cumulative effect, something of this sort is true. One gets a sort of Leyden Jar effect; but the sentence as it stands is misleading, as she explains further on in verse 70 —“Each failure is success, and each sincere attempt wins its reward in time.” 41. For know, that the ETERNAL knows no change. Here again we have one subject “THE ETERNAL”, and one predicate “the knower of no change”; the Hindu state- ment identical with the Buddhist, and the identity covered by crazy terminology. X=A says the Hindu, Y=A says the Buddhi…
