…hine from out the spatial depths for all—save for itself; give light to all, but take from none. It is incomparably annoying to see this word “Alas!” at the head of this verse as a pure oxymoron with the rest of the text. Is stupid, unseeing selfishness so firmly fixed in the nature of man that even at this height he still laments? Do not believe it. It is interesting here to note the view taken by Him who has actually attained the Grade of Magus. He says: “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. It may be those three perfections of my…

…aled packet given him by some stranger met at Pen-y-Pass during the week. The ex- periment was entirely successful; I reproduced every word of the document. If the telepathy is to be viti- ated, it is on the theory that I had previously met the stranger and read from him what he would write in such circumstances! Surely direct communication of mind with mind is an easier theory! Had I known in what all this was to culminate, I suppose I should have gone mad. Thrice fortunate that I can warn humanity of what awaits each one. The great- est…

…on. 48. ’Tis from the bud of Renunciation of the Self, that springeth the sweet fruit of final Liberation. This is again obscure, as the word “Self” means so many things, and though many kinds of type have been employed to spell it, clear definitions of what each type indicates are lacking. It is here, however, the doctrine of the Two Paths 61

…’st master, thou must keep thy mind and thy perceptions far freer than before from killing action. The English is getting ambiguous. The word “killing” is, I suppose, an adjective implying ‘fatal to the purpose of the Student’. But even so, the comment appears to me out of place. On this high Path action should already have been made harmless; in fact, the second Path had this as its principal object. It is very difficult to make out what the Authoress really wants you to do. 44. Thou hast to saturate thyself with pure Alaya, be- come as one wi…

…et mouth, and the impudent cynicism of his bottomless lust, I would say, but for the peculiar inappropriateness of the epi- thet. In a word he was the foremost scholar and courtesan of his year. It would be admittedly ridiculous to claim the latter note of his life as hypocritical ; only prigs will so stigmatize the former. A boy of 20 does not render Thomas à Kempis into Greek Anapaests without genuine scholarship and equally sincere piety. Yet he is the author of the nauseous hex- ameters beginning : Hail to the f . . ting lips of an open…

THE NEW WINE 303 against the Word ; for Samadhi surpasses all rational quantities including Egotism and Altruism , Time and Space . Passing to that state beyond progress , which is pure freedom and divine Will , man reaches the stage when he ceases to think empirically under the schemata of Time and Space . The mind at such moments reaches heights wherein another light suc ceeds to the light of experience ; there is a mental “ whirl " which , though irrational to pure reason , has an incalculable value , probably depending on certain higher law…

…ver you mind that. The point is that when you have the right amount of snow in you, you can't feel anything in the ordinary sense of the word. You appreciate it in a sort of impersonal way. There’s a pain, but the pain doesn’t hurt. You enjoy the fact of the pain as you enjoy reading about all sorts of terrible things in history at school. But the trouble about cocaine is this; that it’s almost impossible to take it in moderation as almost any one, except an American, can take whisky. Every dose makes you better and better. It destroys one’s po…

Let him now imagine, at the last Word, that the Head of his will, where his consciousness is fixed, opens its fissure (the Brah- marandra-Cakkra, at the junction of the cranial sutures) and exudes a drop of clear crystalline dew, and that this pearl is his Soûl, a virgin offering to his Angel, pressed forth from his being by the intensity of his Aspiration. With these words the Adept does not withdraw his will within him as in the previous Se…

…fling these chapters headlong into this letter. De Voluntate Juvenum Long, 0 my Son, hath been this Digression from the plain Path of my Word concerning Children; but it was most needful that thou shouldst understand the Limits of true Liberty. For that is not the Will of any Man which ultimateth in his own Ruin and that of all his Fellows; and that is not Liberty whose Exercise bringeth him to Bondage. Thou mayst therefore assume that it is always an essential Part of the Will of any Child to grow to Manhood or to Womanhood in Health, and his …

But the meaning of the voice—the second voice—was quite silent, and put the ideas directly into the brain of the Seer, as if by touch. It is not certain whether the mill-stones and the sword-strokes that rained upon him were not these very sounds and ideas.)
