…le hands in foolish prayer To him thy brain hath moulded and set there In thy brain's heaven ? Such a god replies As thy fears move . So men pray everywhere . God did first work in earth when womankind He chipped from Adam's rib-a thankless task I wot His wisdom has long since repined . When I am dead remember me for this That I bade workers work , and lovers kiss ; Laughed with the Stoic at the dream of pain , And preached with Jesus the evangel - bliss .' Whilst such lines as the following in the second poem also remind us of the astronomer p…

…re are two persons in us,—the thinker (or the worker) and the seer. The unwinding of the hoodwink from the eyes of the seer, for in most men the seer is, like a mummy, wrapped in the countless rags of thought, is what Yoga purposes to do: in other words, to accomplish no less a task than the mastering of the forces of the Universe, the sur- render of the gross vibrations of the external world to the finer vibrations of the internal, and then to become one with the subtle Vibrator—the Seer Himself. We have mentioned the six chief systems of Yoga…

THE SEVEN PORTALS ment the crucified one, the extended one, the Secret Saviour, consents to redeem them, and can do so without losing his power, without in any way yielding to them, their next step is accomplished, and they are re-born as men. This brings us back to our subject, for the lower man, of whom we are still speaking, possesses, above Yesod, five forms of intellect and Daath their Crown. We then come to another marriage on a higher plane, the redemption of Malkuth by Tiphareth; the attaining of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Ho…

Animals are the living symbols of the instincts and passions of men. If you make a man timid, you change him into a hare. If, on the contrary, you drive him to ferocity, you make a tiger of him. The wand of Circe is the power of fascination which woman possesses; and the changing of the companions of Ulysses into hog…

…but I cannot give the authority by which Blavatsky speaks of Kwan-shi- yin as a Bodhisattva. It will become abundantly evident in the comment to verse 97 that Blavatsky had not the re- motest idea as to what a Bodhisattva was and is. But it is quite true that you have to shed light in the manner indi- cated if you are going to live the life of a Magus. 82.

The irrespon- sible and aimless chatter of women and clergymen is the result of weak thoughts constantly drowned by their associated critical glyphs. Mere sympathetic glyphs, too, may be excited in really feeble intelligences. Puns and other false associa- tions of thought are symptomatic of this imbecility.
