They will be grown on a new Formula, to meet the new needs , just as when our "permanent" (Alas, not much!) set replace our milk-teeth.

A fortiori, then, it must be possible to train men to inde- pendence, to tolerance, to nobility of character, and to good manners, and this is done in the O.T.O. by certain very effi- cacious methods which (for I will not risk further wearying you) I will not describe. Besides, they are secret. But beyond them is the supreme incentive; advancement in the Order depends almost entirely on the possession of such qualities, and is impossible without it.

84 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS There is no good purpose, even were there license, to discuss the nature of the basis of scientific attainment which is the core of the doctrines of the Society. It is only necessary to point out that its correspondence with alchemy is the one genuine fact of the subject which has been allowed to transpire; for the Rosicrucian, as indicated by his central symbol, the barren cross on which he has made the rose to flower, occupies himself primarily with spiritual and physiological alchemy .
