I will not have a hangman for my God!” And they thought that he blasphemed. No; but the energy of his faith overflowed in inexact and imprudent words. He said again in the madness of his wounded charity: “The liabilities of all men are common, and they expiate each other’s faults, as they make merit for each other by their virtues. “…

THE EQUINOX Listen, we pray you, with attention: for once only does the Great Order knock at any one door. Whosoever knows any member of that Order as such, can never know another, until he too has attained to mas- tery. Here, therefore, we pause, that you may thoroughly search yourself, and consider if you are yet fitted to take an irrevocable step. For the reading of that which follows is Recorded. THE HISTORY LECTION 7. Some years ago a number of cipher MSS. were dis- covered and deciphered by certain students. They at- tracted much attentio…

… consciousness, for each successive consciousness of Man is a single phenome- non, and has no connection with any other. A looking-glass knows nothing of the different people that look into it. It only reflects one ata time. The brain is however more like a sensitive plate, and memory is the faculty of bringing up into consciousness any picture required. As this occurs in the normal man with his own experiences, so it occurs in the Adept with all experiences. (This is one more reason for His identifying Himself with others.) 13. And then to the…

CHAPTER VII THE FINAL PLUNGE Sunday THE church bells tell me the day. I have been through another terrible ordeal. I don’t know how long ago since I came down from the north tower. The noise was really a shot. I found Peter on the floor with the pistol by his side, and blood pouring from a wound in his breast. I understood immediately what I had to do. It was impossible to send for a doctor. The scandal of the suicide would make life impossible ever after, and he would immediately discover that it was due to dope. The burden must be on my own s…

Useless; I had be- come absolutely insensitive. We repeated a dozen ex- periments that night. All failed. We concealed our disappointment, and it did not cloud our love. The sympathy between us grew even subtler and stronger, but only as it grows between all men and women who love with their whole hearts, and love unselfishly. IV We returned t…

qeard, of whom, even were he real, we know nothing much beyond that he reacted in the most manly way to the problem of domestic infelicity. A moments digression ; in fact, the main point. What is the most precise and most atrocious charge that is made against him ? That he sacrificed, in the course of Alchemical and magical experiments, a matter of 800 children ? I submit that, a priori, this sounds a little improbable. Gilles de Rais was the lord of a district whose population could not have been very extensive, and even in that age of slaver…

…, and admit them to possess inconceivable though not infinite power. The Buddhists admit the existence of Maha-Brahma, but his power and knowledge are limited ; and his agelong day must end. I find evidence everywhere, even in our garbled and mutilated version of the Hebrew Scriptures, that Jehovah’s power was limited in all sorts of ways. At the Fall, for instance, Tetragrammaton Elohim has to summon his angels hastily to guard the Tree of Life, lest he should be proved a liar. For had it occurred to Adam to eat of that Tree before their trans…

All the wisest from all ages with all their wisdom finally have had to utter “ We Know Not ," and write " ignoramus " across their life's work . Yet is not this infallibly as it must be , if we search for an absolute truth by relative means ; we cannot prove that it does not exist , any more than we can prove that it does ; for if we dare to attempt to tread so thorny a path with the utmost success the land we reach is but the land of Weissnichtwo .

…he intension of reason and its forms are alike built up by experience , that of the race ( H. Spencer ).] Having postulated metaphysical knowledge , Kant then proceeds to subdivide it into two headings : 1, Analytic ; 2, Synthetic judgements ; the first Crowley would identify with ( verbal propositions ), the second with ( real ]. First Kant states : “ All analytic judge ments are based entirely on the principles of contra diction ... and are ... à priori ” (p. 13 ), e.g. “ Every body is extended ," ...

Indeed we know of other orders of mind (flies, etc., possibly vegetables) thinking by means of non-human brain-structures.
