It is certain that every letter of this cipher hath some value; but who shall determine the value? For it varieth ever, according to the subtlety of Him that made it. 53.

…d cannot possibly reach any experience of their connexion with objects ."' And again that the " ... universal and primary opinion of all men is soon destroyed by the slightest philosophy , which teaches us , that nothing can ever be present to the mind but an image or perception , and that the senses are only the inlets through which these images are conveyed , without being able to produce any immediate inter course between the mind and the object .”. However , the great unknown waste of this “ immediate inter course ” Hume bravely sets out to…

PREFACE. XXVII At school I was taught to admire Plato and Aristotle, who recommend sodomy to youths. I am not so rebellious as to oppose their dictum ; and in truth there seems no bet- ter way to avoid the contamination of woman and the mo- rose pleasures of solitary vice. (Not that women themselves are unclean ; it is the worship of them as ideals that rots the soul). Again we may say that all the great men of antiquity were sodomites : Socrates, Caesar, Alexander, Martial, Catullus, Virgil, Achilles ; Napoleon, Frederick the Great, Goethe, Sh…

All my gain is loss. Breath fails me, dark as hell mine eyes foresee my doom, Death, stern and stark, the glutton shark the tomb, my bloom Blasted. Thy maid, Lord Christ, kept vigil before Thee, Fasted and prayed, endured a lifes Gethsemane ; Now, scourged and spat upon, mocked before priest and king Thou, gaze on thought, come crowned, come armed, come conqueri…

Men set out upon the most dangerous expeditions in high spirits. 29. And to the second gate the way is verdant too. But it is steep and winds up hill; yea, to its rocky top. Grey Mists will overhang its rough and stony height, and all be dark beyond. As on he goes, the song of hope soundeth more feeble in the pilgrim’s heart. The thrill of doubt is now upon him; his step less steady grows. Following the last c…

…Holy One, who hath permitted us to come thus far, who hath revealed unto us the ineffable mysteries, that they might be disclosed before men. And we humbly beseech His infinite goodness that he will be pleased to manifest unto us even the Mystery of the First Aethyr. (Here followeth the Call of the Aethyr.) The veil of the Aethyr is like the veil of night, dark azure, full of countless stars. And because the veil is infinite, at first one seeth not the winged globe of the sun that burneth in the centre thereof. Profound peace filleth me,—beyond…

Cambridge men have this feel- ing, but do not think other people worth the trouble of flat- tering. 34. Beware of trembling. ’Neath the breath of fear the key of Kshanti rusty grows: the rusty key refuseth to un- lock. The word “trembling” seems to imply that it is giddy ecstasy which is referred to, and the “fear” here spoken of may perhaps be the Panic Fear, possibly some feeling anal- ogous to that which produces wha…

But besides You ask hot snow and leaden feather - flights ! 1 Which contains a great truth , namely , that platonic love is no love at all . An affection it may be , but love it cannot be if it dare not see its form mirrored in the eyes of a loving woman . Its failure in the end is a certainty ; certain ascetics may compel their wills to conquer their natures , but men as a whole cannot . C…

… Teacher of man- kind. After Julai had entered the Nirvana, He preached on mount and plain, and held discourses in the cities, to Devas, men and Gods. Reference is here made to the attainment of the Buddha. It was only after he had abandoned the Ascetic Life that he attained, and so far from manifesting that attainment by non-action, he created a revolution in India by attacking the Caste system, and by preaching his law created a Karma so violent that even to-day its primary force is still active. The present ‘Buddha,’ the Master Therion, is d…

57 We already see, in America, the results of the emancipation of women from the economic fetter. There is an immense class of bachelor girls (and of married women whose husbands are strictly business machines) who pick up men with the same nonchalance as the young "blood" picked up women in my time at Cambridge. I found myself, from the very beginning of my university career, urged by circumstances of every sort to indulge my passion in every way but the right one. My ill-health had prevented me from taking part in the ordinary amusements of t…
