…to allow no dispute or complainte he must employ to this end the formula called “The Beast conjoined with the Woman” which establishes a new incarnation of deity ; as in the legends of Leda, Semele, Miriam, Pasiphae, and others.

Again, They may send an ordinary living man, whether one of Themselves or no I cannot feel sure, to instruct me in some task, or to set me right when I have erred. Then there have been messages conveyed by natural objects, animate or inanimate. 2 Needless to say, the outstanding example in my life is the whole Plan of Campaign concerning The Book of the Law.

Huxley and Tyndall have prophesied this before I w as born; sometimes in vague language, once or twice clearly enough; to me it is a source of the utmost concern that their successors should not always see eye to eye with them in this respect. Professor Ray Lankester, in crushing the unhappy theists of the recent Times contro- versy, does not hesitate to say that Science can never throw any light o…

Fields that flower not, blossom in no new spring-tide ; Fields where grass nor herb nor abounding darnel Flourish ; fields more barren, devoid, than ocean’s Pasture ungarnered. Deserts, stone as arid as sand, savannahs!

The four gates are perhaps Light, Life, Love, Liberty—see “De Lege Libellum.”1 Lapis Lazuli is a symbol of Nuit, Jasper of Hadit. The rare scents are possibly various ecstasies or samadhis.

I feel as if I were a highly strung musical instrument. My Will runs over the strings, causing complete and harmonious vibrations in my being, which seems to give forth at times an unformulated and therefore most delightful melody. March 28th.

… called complete. The beginning, however, is clear enough in my memory. I was on a retirement in a cottage overlooking Lake Pasquaney in New Hampshire. I lost consciousness of every thing but an universal space in which were innumerable bright points, and I realized this as a physical representation of the Universe, in what I may call its essential structure. I exclaimed: “Nothingness, with twinkles!” I concentrated upon this vision, with the result that the void space which had been the principal element of it diminished in impor tance; spac…

This new game tickles the vanity of some of the sham scientific people, like Lombroso; they think they'll make a reputation like Newton out of it.

Just so a schoolboy who has mastered his work, dies to school, reincar nates in cap and gown, triumphs in the Tripos, dies to the clois ters, and is reborn to the world. Note that the Atu “Death” in the Tarot refers to Scorpio. This sign is threefold: the Scorpion that kills itself with its own poison, when its environment (the ring of fire) becomes intolerable; the Serpent t…

But now observe how the question of the Magical Link arises! No matter how mighty the truth of Thelema, it cannot prevail unless it is applied to and by mankind.

He carefully opened two bottles of whisky, mixed the stale spirit in the magic saucer with their contents, and bade Balloch join him at the table.
