There are nine kinds of Bhaktis enumerated. Hearing his histories and relating them, remembering him, worshipping his feet, offering flowers to him, bowing to him (in soul), behaving as his servant, becoming his companion and offering up one’s Atman to him. . . .

Well then, all this intricate differentiation and integration and verification and Lord knows what leads at last to a statement which may be called "Certain without Error." But Hermes Trismegistus is not content with any such fugues as the Astronomer, however cunning and colossal his Ortan; his Third Degree demands much more than this. The Astronomer's estimate has puttied every tiniest crack, he concedes it, but then waves it brusquely away: all the time the door is standing wide open! The …

It meant that the facts were so undeniable that the "advertisement for Answer to Prayer" outweighed the "miracle of a Heretic." I knew a poetess of great distinction who used to amuse herself by breaking off a conversation and saying, "Give me a franc" (or a shilling, or any small sum) and then g…

Ofttimes the Spirit of the Lord Descends and floods me with his breath ; My words are fashioned as a sword, My voice is like the voice of death. The thunder of the Spirit’s wings Brings terror to the hearts of kings. Anon, and I am driven out In desert places by desire ; My mouth is salt and dry; I doubt If hell hath such another fire ; If God’s damnation can devise A lust to match these agonies. 1 Not Elijah, as the sequel shows.

The Law is for All

Chapter I a Verses 43—50 47 they are not of me. Let Asar be the adorant, Isa the sufferer; Hoor in his secret name and splendour is the Lord initiating. Commentary: This verse declares that the old formula of Magick — the Osiris-Adonis-Jesus-Marsyas-Dionysus-Attis- et cetera formula of the Dying God—is no longer efficacious. It rested on the ignorant belief that the Sun died every day, and every year, and that its resurrection was a miracle. The Formula of the New £on recognizes Horus, the Child crowned and conquering, as God. We are all member…
