I painted soul, who saw your skin :— Be soul! That saves you. If you fail, Why, then, you fail! Enough of this— (Read not again Macbeth amiss !) Give me one customary kiss— An end of it!

…, as if heralding the literary somersault of the tw entieth century— we have been content to accept Shakespeare as orthodox, with common sense; moral to a fault, with certain R abelasian leanings: a healthy tone (we say) pervades his work. Never believe it! The sex problem is his Speciality; a morbid decadence (so-called) is hidden i’ th’ heart o’ th’ rose. In other words, the divine William is the morning star to Ibsen’s dawn and Bernard Shaw’s effulgence. The superficial, the cynical, the misanthropic will demand proof of such a statement. Le…

…ect and observer in space. This fact is to be emphasised, because one must not take the Tree of Life as a dead fixed formula. It is in a sense an eternal pattern of the Universe, just because it is infinitely elastic; and it is to be used as an instrument in one’s researches into Nature and her forces. It is not to be made an excuse for Dogmatism. The Tarot should be learnt as early in life as possible; a ful‐ crum for memory and a schema for mind. It should be studied constantly, a daily exercise; for it is universally elastic and grows in pro…
…n Satisfied. Equilibrium stands apart from any individual prejudices; therefore the title, in France, should rather be Justesse. In this sense, Nature is scrupulously just. It is impossible to drop a pin without exciting a corresponding reaction in every Star. The action has disturbed the balance of the Universe. This woman‐goddess is Harlequin; she is the partner and fulfilment of The Fool. She is the ultimate illusion which is manifestation; she is the dance, many‐coloured, many‐wiled, of Life itself. Constantly whirling, all possibilities ar…

Sorrow, Absence of ego, and impermanence ! And at the rhythm he swooned, for his old mantra surged up in the long-sealed vessels of sub-conscious memory, and he fell into the calm ocean of a great Meditation.
… Anathema Maranatha. 602. Panys of Death,”—Dr. Maudsley de- mands a panegyric upon death. It is true that evolution may bring us a moral sense of astonishing delicacy and beauty. But we are not there yet. A talented but debauched Irishman bas composed the following, which I can deplore, but not refute, for this type of man is probably more prone to repro- duce his species than any other. He called it ‘*Summa Spes.”’ I. Existence being sorrow, The cause of it desire, A merry tune I borrow To light upon the lyre: If death destroy me quite, Then, …
…e Law. 8. We shall not be surprised therefore if we find that the perfectly simple term Yama (or Control) has been bedevilled out of all sense by the mistaken and malignant ingenuity of the pious Hindu. He has interpreted the word 'control' as meaning compliance with certain fixed proscriptions. There are quite a lot of prohibitions grouped under the heading of Yama, which are perhaps quite necessary for the kind of people contemplated by the Teacher, but they have been senselessly elevated into universal rules. Everyone is familiar with the pr…
… men seem wild and absurd. Myst. You refer to Idealism. Scept. To more; to nearly all philosophy, save only that self-styled ‘‘of common sense,’ which is merely stupidity glossing ignorance. But Berkeley Myst. The devout, the angelic Scepit. Hegel Myst. The splendid recluse! The lonely and virtuous student who would stand motion- less for hours gazing into space, so that his pupils thought him idle or insane ! Scept. Spencer Myst. The noble, ascetic, retired spirit; the single-hearted, the courageous, the holy —~ Scept. Yes: all these and many …
…etters and numbers, and created the Hebrew language on this series of manipulations. This theory is plainly contrary, not only to common sense, but to the facts of history, and to all that we know about the formation of language. Nevertheless, the evidence is equally strong that there is something, not a little of something but a great deal of something, a something which excludes all reasonable theories of coincidence, in the correspondence between words and numbers. It is an undeniable fact that any given number is not merely one more than th…
…ith the Rosicrucian order." The poor darlings meant affect. They went on squabbling amongst themselves for a few months and then had the sense to give up playing at Magick. Their only survivor is Arthur Edward Waite, who still pretends to carry on the business, though he has substituted a pompous, turgid rigmarole of bombastic platitudes for the neophyte ritual, so that the last spark of interest is extinct for ever. Mathers, of course, carried on; but he had fallen. The Secret Chiefs cast him off; he fell into deplorable abjection; even his sc…
…eing of no importance to our present point, it would be imbecile to pretend that the nature of the ceremonies of Craft masonry is an any sense a "mystery". There is, therefore, no reason for refraining from the plain statement that, to anyone who understands the rudiments of symbolism, the Master's degree is identical with the Mass. This is in fact the real reason for papal anathema; for freemasonry asserts that every man is himself the living, slain and re-arisen Christ in his own person. It is true that not one mason in ten thousand in Englan…
SCIENCE AND BUDDHISM 118 I take my refuge in the Sangha. These are not isolated efforts on my part; although in one sense isolation is eternally perfect and can never be overcome, 1 in another s ense as sociates are pos sible and desirable. One third of humanity are Buddhists; add men of Science and we form an absolute majority ; among Buddhists a very large proportion have deliberately gone out from social life of any kind to tread t hese paths of Research. Is the Way very hard? Is the brain tired? The results slow to com e? Others are working…
…e Second Advent at a moment when he was not actively and intensely engaged on the work which God had sent him into the world to do. This sense of the importance of the lightest act, of the value of every moment, has been a tragically intense factor in my life. I have always grudged the time necessary for eating, sleeping and dressing. I have invented costumes with the sole object of minimizing the waste of time3 and the distraction of attention involved. I never wear underclothing. The "Magnetism" of men and women has for its physical basis swe…
…we found the vehicle which was to take us to the wayside station. Rose and I got in, feeling as if we had been through a mangle; but the sense of humour came most opportunely to our rescue. The vehicle chanced to resemble a prison van, and the circumstance tickled our imagination and helped to break down our embarrassment. But it was a frightfully long drive to the wayside station and a frightfully long wait when we got there. I don't know whether it was part of the arrangement or not that we should take tickets to the end of the line, some pla…

…s” clues that his word is “SCRUN blank H”; so it is certain, beyond error, that the blank must be a “C” 4. These attributions are in one sense a conventional, symbolic map; such could be in‐ vented by some person or persons of great artistic imagination and ingenuity combined with almost unthinkably great scholarship and philosophical clarity. 5.
