And she gave a delicious little sigh. Pardon this intrusion, Duchess, pray said a new voice, in the well-bred deferential manner that is so characteristic of diplomats. But is it the third Wednesday, is it not ? My dear Prince, how good of you to come. I was just hoping some one would drop in and cheer me up. This move has left me quite a wreck. Ah ! Du…

…your father, who is about to die.” The magus awoke, his heart palpitating, and his forehead bathed in sweat. “What can this dream mean?” thought he. “It is long since my father died; why am I told that he is going to die, and why has this warning upset me?” The following night, the same dream recurred with the same circumstances; once more Eliphas awoke, hearing a voice in his ear repeat: “Come and see your father, who is about to die.” This repeated nightmare made a painful impression upon Eliphas: he had accepted, for the 3rd of January, an i…

…s irksome to me as they were to Fra Lippo Lippi in Brownings im- mortal poem, and Art seemed a halfway house. Suiting the action to the thought, I soon found my- self in Paris, and rooms in a dirty little basement in the Montparnasse Quarter. My next-door neighbours were photographers, one, by name L..s, calling himself an artist, and his partner H...s, pluming himself upon his business capacity. L..s was the son of a charlatan parson once well known in Eng- land as a mountebank, while his mother, disgusted that he was a boy, brought him up as…

The unwinding of the hoodwink from the eyes of the seer, for in most men the seer is, like a mummy, wrapped in the countless rags of thought, is what Yoga purposes to do: in other words, to accomplish no less a task than the mastering of the forces of the Universe, the sur- render of the gross vibrations of the external world to the finer vibrations of the internal, and then to become one with the subtle Vibrator—the Seer Himself. We have mentioned the six chief systems of Yoga, and now before entering upon what for us at present must be th…

Man and woman, if you will; beasts in the jungle, if you will; flowers by the wayside, if you will; but nothing more. Else you will not only fail in the ordeal, but you will be swept aside out of the Path. You were in greater danger than you knew this afternoon; you will yet pay the price." ”I understand,” she said. “ You devil! I love you." " And I love every inch of your white bo…

The limpidity of thought and expression alike is the aquamarine of the pool: "Like foam-flowers falling from the breasts of Sleep their Lotus-kiss is," languid as Sappho writhing to the breeze of Leucadia, under a rain of roseleaves. The hot angry famine and pestilence of the soul is the sulphur of the spring and the poisonous mist that plays upon it. "Come, Love, nor list to tired dreams that twist thy lithe long limbs in fie…

…minism, of which he was much in need, and, having signed the Probationer’s Pledge Form on December 24th 1909 E.V., he took—after careful thought—the Motto ‘Unus in Omnibus’ and has been riding very comfortably ever since. From this time onward, according to the Rules of the Order, he began keeping a written record of his Work, and this makes our task easier; but since he himself became more serious from that moment, we must to a certain extent follow his example and treat what is recorded as the attempt of a struggling soul to obtain Light for …

His mind, like a becalmed and boundless ocean, spreadeth out in shoreless space. He holdeth life and death in his strong hand. It is interesting to notice that he is stillin the West. This is the penultimate stage. He is really now practically iden- tical with Mayan himself. He has met and conquered the maker of illusion, become one with him, and his…

…rd; but until one begins to try to keep the mind from wandering, one has no conception of the way in which the minutest modifications of thought, impressions which are normally transitory or unperceived, form the starting point for Odysseys of distraction. It may be several minutes before one wakes up to the fact that one's wits have gone wool-gathering. Pratyahara is introspection. One obtains the power of analysing an apparently simple thought or impression into its elements. One can, for example, teach oneself to feel separately the numberle…

But I make Effort in vain, O my Son, to record this Matter in Detail; for it is the Quality of this Grass to quicken the Operation of Thought it may be a Thousandfold, and moreover to figure each Step in Images complex and overpowering in Beauty, so that one hath not Time wherein to conceive, much less to utter any Word for a Name of any one of them. Also, such was the Multiplicity of these Ladders, and their Equivalence, that the Memory holdeth no more any one of them, but only a certain Comprehension of the Method, wordless by Reason of it…

For Monty Le W... had never given him his love before. Monty was a dark, languid-eyed boy with jetty hair ; there was about him the indefinable air that sexual per- verts recognize so quickly, a closer union than ma- sonry can boast. In fact, he had not been on board H.M.S. Osiris a week before the Captain had pro- moted him to a dignity sufficiently high to excite the envy of the boys w…

The womb was dark ; from out it sprang the thought less ; the tomb is darker still ; into it creeps the thoughtful . The dead are our gods , soon we shall strike our tent for the last time and join the great caravanserai of the departed : Wend now thy way with brow serene , fear not thy humble tale to tell : The whispers of the Desert - wind ; the tinkling of the camel's bell . This beauty of Death as the releaser from the temptations of life , is fine…

It became probable that the elements were but isomers of one element ; matter was seen to be but a modification of mind, or (at least) that the two things matter and mind must be joined before either could be perceived. All knowledge comes through the senses, on the one hand ; on the other, it is only through the senses that knowledge comes, We then continue our conquest of matter; and we are getting p…
