…presently, for hard practical reasons; it is an assumption which indicates the method of the Old Wise One who approaches the Tao. As you know, the supreme classic of this subject is The Tao Teh King; and I must suppose that you have read this in at least one of the several translations, else I should have to start by pushing my own version at you.

But she , Lost in the love she might not know , may see No further than his face, and yet, aware Of her own fate , resisted like a snare Her own soft wishes . As she looked and saw His eager face, the iron rod of law Grew like a misty pillar in the sky . In all her veins the blood's desires die, 2 Jephthah , vol. i, p. 66.

Now this wish has never really arisen in John St. John ; however bad he feels, he always feels that Attainment is the only possible way out of it. This is the good Karma of his ten years’ constant striving. Well, in the …

CHAPTER VI COLD TURKEY | September 23 I pon’tT remember what happened. -I know why. Basil told me long ago. that the mind only kept count of material things. So these spiritual events are recorded in a higher kind of mind of which we are not conscious until we get accustomed to spiritual life. So all I can put down is that we Ahad a complete success. The Devil, of course, needs a human interpreter if he is to communicate with this world, and so he took possession of Peter. He has been preparing Peter to represent him. He will make Peter pope, a…

Magick Without Tears

80 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS Because you know the things unclean That go to make a mortal maid. I, if her rotten corpse were mine, Would take it as my natural food , Denying all but the Divine Alike in evil and in good. Aspasia may skin me close, And Lais load me with disease. Poor pleasures, bitter bargains, these? I shall despise Diogenes. Follow your fancy far enough! At last you surely come to God. There is thus in this School no attempt to deny that Nature is, as Zoroaster said, "a fatal and evil force"; but Nature i:::, so to speak, "the First…

When I say that the square root of three is unreal, know quite well that it is only so in relation to the series 1, 2, 3eetc., and that is equally unreal if] make the /3, = 250 the members of a ternary scale. But this, theoretically true, is practically absurd. IfI mean “the number of a, b, and c”, it does not matter ifI write y3 or *y50; theidea is a definite one; and it is the fundamental ideas of consciousness of which we are treating, and to which we are co…

In the third hour the infamous Selim bin Haroun presented himself dis- guised to her hasty lips. As you know, this chief- tain, desirous of checking his fertility without in- terfering with his pleasures, had bored a hole at the root of his life-preserver permitting the vital fuck-spunk to dribble away. Of course, when the unhappy Zuleika pulled at his vibrating tuning-…

…l numbers, and the foundation of all buildings; thou art one, and in the secret of thy unity the most wise of men are lost, because they know it not. Thou art one, and thy unity neither wanes nor waxes, neither suffers any change. Thou art one, and yet not the one of the mathematician, for thy unity admits neither multipli- cation, nor change, nor form. Thou art one, and not one of mine imaginations can fix a limit for thee, or give a definition of thee; therefore will I take heed to my ways, lest I offend with my tongue. Thou art one indeed, w…
