…not necessarily harmful, provided that we view the situation in its proper perspective, that we understand that membership of the of-aIl-Truth class does not (as one is apt to think at first sight) deepen the gulfs which separate mind from mind, but on the contrary put us in a position to ignore them. Our acts of "love under will," which express our devotion to Nuit, which multiply the fulfilments of our possibilities, become continually more efficacious, and more closely bound up with our Formula of Initiation; and we progressively become awar…

8o KONX OM PAX 0 fool! not thus the Intimate Gives up its secret to the soul. Truth flies beyond, inviolate, And slips beside the glancing goal. Who probes the body gains a fact, Yet leaves an equal fact behind; So gathering for the cataract Roll up the rapid waves of mind. Swift as the light at last they leap Into the chasm of despair; Of all their freshet force they keep But froth and smoke and empty air. 0 fool! to deem dissection truth And paint and patches but a blind! The enthusiasm of a youth Is worth the sage and cynic mind. 0 Buddha! co…

Light, eternal as God, begins every day for all eyes that are open to see it. Truth will be eternally the invention and the creation of genius; it cries: Let there be light! and genius itself is, because light is. Genius is immortal because it understands that light is eternal. Genius contemplates truth as its work because it is the victor of light, and immortalit…

A double prong this poisoned poniard Snaps in our hearts. I kept the secret long. Your breath, that burns upon me, wraps me round With whirling passion, pierces through my veins With its unhallowed fire, constrains, compels, Drags out the corpse of twenty years ago From the untrusty coffin of my mind, To poison, to corrupt, to strike you there Blind with its horror.

…n cap of maintenance, which falls to the shoulders. Instead of this, the Ateph Crown of Thoth is sometimes worn; for Thoth is the God of Truth, of Wisdom, and the Teacher of Magick. The Ateph Crown has two ram's horns, showing energy, dominion, the force that breaks down obstacles, the sign of the spring. Between these horns is the disk of the sun; from this springs a Lotus upheld by the twin plumes of truth, and three other sun-disks are upheld, one by the cup of the lotus, the others beneath the curving feathers. There is still another Crown,…

These articles were a mass of lies. Not only were they wholly false in spirit the essential truth, in every matter of importance, being simply suppressedbut, except for such statements as were harmless in themselves or trivial, they were wholly false in the letter also. Two of these lies are so indefensible in point of fact, and so repugnant to every principle …

Anachronism may be found piled upon anachronism, and symbolism mixed with symbolism. In one direction I have restrained myself. Nowhere does Tannhiuser refer to the Vedas and Shastras? or to the Dhamma® of that blameless hypochondriac, Gotama Buddha.

…Each surh detailed piece of work may be very valuable, but it does not as a rule throw light on the main principles of the universe. Its truth is the truth of one angle. It might even lead to error, if some inferior person were to generalize from too few facts. Imagine an inhabitant of Mars who wished to philosophise about the earth, and had nothing to go by but the diary of some man at the North Pôle! But the work of every explorer, on whatever branch of the Tree of Life the Caterpillar he is after may happen to be crawling, is immensely helpe…
