…I had now almost come to the conclusion that I was absolutely unsusceptible of the hasheesh influence. Without any expectation that this last experiment would be more successful than the former ones, and indeed with no realisa- tion of the manner in which the drug affected those who did make the experiment successfully, I went to pass the evening at the house of an intimate friend. In music and conversation the time passed pleasantly. The clock struck ten, reminding me that three hours had elapsed since the dose was taken, and as yet not an unu…

The Master of the Temple is not only the dust in the Pyramid, and the Blood in the Cup, but he is also that which was cast down through the Abyss into the Heaven of Jupiter. The 122

THE EQUINOX At the last circumambulation they leave him, and go to the place between the font and the small altar, where they kneel in adoration, their hands joined palm to palm, and raised above their heads. All imitate this motion. The PRIEST returns to the East, and mounts the first step of the altar. THE PRIEST. Ocircle of Stars whereof our Father is but the younger brother, marvel beyond imagination, soul of infinite space, before whom Time is ashamed, the mind be- wildered, and the understanding dark, not unto Thee may we attain, unless T…

202 THE STAR IN THE WEST 1 thought . Science will say that intelligence is last , and that matter slowly evolves into animal life ; in fact, that matter (A ) is first, and intelligence (B ) is second . The idealists and sankhyâs will put intelligence (B ) first , and the series will run B ,A , B ,A ,B ,A . Both , however , are indicating the same chain ; but Crowley, like the philosophers of the Vedanta , strides beyond both intellect and matter to find an “ I ” (purusha) or self, which is beyond all intellect , and of which in tellect is but t…

For while the Hierophant is 5°=6°, yet he is only shown as a Lord of the Paths in the Portal of the Vault.

The phantom of God! that last idol of the earth; that anthropomorphic spectre which maliciously makes himself invisible; that finite personification of the infinite; that invisible whom one cannot see without dying—without dying at least to intelligence and to reason, since in order to see the invisible, one must be mad; the phantom of Him who has no body; the confused form of Him who is without form and with- out limit; it is in ¢Za¢…

But their sweet smile prevented me from using any abusive language, which, in fact, they could not understand. Well aware that I was fated to conceal my thoughts for a very long while, I allowed them to advance and attend upon me. In that way began my new life as master of a harem.

What but that last infamy which has roused even the holy calm of our Most Illustrious Sovereign G.M. General in Austria to hurl the lightnings of his excommunica- tion against its perpetrators? VeryIllustrious P.P.,I am no prude. But I am a stickler for the value of words: and I deem that the French slang “ Petit Jesus ” is being taken too seriously when a senile sex-maniac like Leadbeater proclaims his catamites as Corning…
