…ill, and trace out that in similar fashion, and let this process be continued for many days until the interdependence of all things is a truth assimilated in his inmost being. This being accomplished, let him trace his own history, with special reference to the causes of each event . And in this practice he may neglect to some extent the universal forces which at all times act on all, as for example, the attraction of masses, and let him concentrate his attention upon the principal and determining or effective causes. For instance, he is seated…

…On, Noah, Oannes, Jonah, John, Dianus, Diana, and so on. But these identifications are all partial only, different facets of the Diamond Truth. We may neglect all these questions, and remain in the simplicity of this Her own Book. 2. The unveiling of the company of heaven. Commentary: This explains the general theme of this revela tion: gives the Dramatis Personae, so to speak. It is, cosmographically, the conception of the two Ultimate Ideas: Space, and That which occupies Space. It will however appear later that these two ideas may be resolv…

…; the least dis- turbance of the blood supply, and it goes out like a can- dle, or else takes monstrous forms. Here was the overwhelming truth; in death man lives again, and lives for ever. Yet we might have thought of it; the phantasmagoria of life which throng the mind of a drowning man might have suggested something of the sort to any man with a sympathetic and active imagination. Worse even than the thoughts themselves was the apprehension of the thoughts ere they arose. Carbun- cles, boils, ulcers, cancers, there is no equivalent for these…

There is one set of equations which expresses the relation of the Perceiver and the Perceived, adjusted in accordance with the particular limitations on both sides; another cancels out all the finite terms, and leaves us with an ultimate x = 0 = 0° .

…e to remember.” Something in his tone caught my imagination vividly. His eyes burnt through me. I began to wonder whether there were any truth in what was said about the diabolical powers of the man. Could he have divined the reason for our coming to the café? I had the absolute certainty that he knew all about it, though it was humanly impossible that he should. “A very strange theory, that about death,” he said. “I wonder if there’s anything in it. It would really be too easy if we could get out of our troubles in so simple a fashion. It has …

Stevenson in Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Outlines, for in reality there are as many sides to character as there are ideas capable of influencing the individual. No doubt, in all cases the one is leavened by the many ; even in stark madness there is an underlying essential harmony. This is of course the case, but such harmony dwells far deeper than anything which …

…ns with absolute scepticism. Our methods must be exclusively inductive. "Gamble away his life," did I say? Indeed I did. If there is any truth at all in anything, or even any meaning in life, in Nature herself; then there is one thing, one thing only paramount; to find out who one is, what is one's necessary Way. The alternative to the Great Work is the hotchpot of dispersion, of fatuity, or disconnected nonsense. To the performance of this Work the nearest obstacle and the most obvious is the Family. Its presumption is manifest, in that it exp…

… This is no country for the poet Aleister Crowley, or the adept, To Mega Therion, whose hope to help his fellow men has this one anchor: Truth shall make you free! {847} 87 However, now that we have been sufficiently surprised and shocked to satisfy our feeling of what is due to ourselves, we may as well realize that what in Europe is crudely called falsehood is in America a virtue without which the structure of society would collapse.

…roduced by abstinence. Our poet, whoever he is (his name is not given in the magazine) certainly succeeds in conveying to his reader the truth, that is, provided his reader already knows it. I can’t imagine how it would strike any one who had not experienced it. For he conveys his meaning, so to speak, in spite of the words. This business of expression is very curious. How could one describe, say, a love affair to a person who had never had one or imagined one ? All expression doesis to wake up in the reader theimpressionsin his own experience …

…Lady Pendragon needs you.” I went white. Once again I had been brought back from a complex chaos of conflicting emotions to the bed-rock truth which had been buried so elaborately and so often. The deepest thing in myself was my love for my wife. I resented the realisation, and yet I could not bring myself to admit it. I asked, stupidly enough : “Is anything wrong?” as if Maisie’s face, to say nothing of her appearance, were not sufficient guarantee of the seriousness of the situation. “Come with me,” she repeated. Gretel had been watching the …

This is the Truth behind the lie called God; This blots the heavens, and indwells the clod. This is the centre of all spheres, the flame In men and stars, the Soul behind the name, The spring of Life, the axle of the Wheel, All-mover, yet the One Thing immobile. Adore It not, for It adoreth thee, The shadow-shape of Its eternity. Lift up thyself! be strong to burst thy bars! For lo! thy stature shall surpass the stars." C…

And that bright light of comfort, and that piercing sword of truth, and all that power and beauty that they have made of themselves, is cast from them, as it is written, "I saw Satan like lightning fall from Heaven."

Thou canst by no means interpret the Sphinx in Terms of the Formula of the Slain God. This did I comprehend even when as Eliphas Levi Zahed I walked up and down the Earth, seeking a Reconciliation of these Antagonisms, which was a Task impossible, for in that Plane they have Antipathy. (Even so may no Man form a Square Magical of Four Units.) But the Light of the New Æon revealeth th…
