…nconscious psychical pro- cesses’ is for us an empty conception”; and so, on the strength of this assertion, he attempts to work out the whole of his argument empirically. This he does rationally enough, as we might expect from a professor of Jena; but in spite of the cunning of his logic and the lucidity of his numerous “becauses,” he, in the end, is as inconclusive as Wundt or any of the modern psychologists.

Ceremony of the Proclamation of Horus, the Crowned and Conquering Child, as Lord of the Aeon. 1 This whole matter is prophesied in the Book of the Law itself ; let the student take note, and enter the ranks of the Host of the Sun. II There is another sacrifice with regard to which the Adepts hâve always maintained the most profound secrecy. It is the suprême mystery of practical Magick. Its name is the Formula of the Rosy Cross. In this case the victim is always — in a certain sense — the Magician himself, and the sacrifice must coïncide with t…

Ay! through her widowed, her unwedded tears, The foolish filial appeal, ‘‘ Restore, | O Father Zeus, this tender life once more !”’ Falls the baulked hope of half a million years.

…us affirmation of true unity in all diversity which Simon Iff was making, he opposed the affirmation of duality. The result was that his whole mind was aflame with the passion of contrasting things, of playing forces off against each other. When it came to practical decisions, he divided his forces, and deliberately created jealousy and hatred where co-operation and loyalty should have been the first and last consideration. Yet Simon Iff had used no spell but Love. [156]

… doing this — that they would be able to cause the incarnation of beings of infinite knowledge and power, who would be able to bring the whole world into Light and Truth. "I may conclude this little sketch by saying that the idea has been almost universal in one form or another; the wish has always been for a Messiah or Superman, and the method some attempt to produce man by artificial or at least abnormal means.

YOGA FOR YELLOWBELLIES. FOURTH LECTURE. Salutation to the Sons of the Morning! Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. 1. I should like to begin this evening by recapitulating very briefly what has been said in the previous three lectures, and this would be easier if I had not completely forgotten everything I said. But there is a sort of faint glimmering to the effect that the general subject of the series was the mental exercises of the Yogi; and the really remarkable feature was that I found it impossible to discuss them at all thor…

The whole of this symbolism is thoroughly explained in the Book of the Law. It should, by the way, be noted that the name Heru is identical with Hru, who is the great Angel set over the Tarot. This new Tarot may therefore be regarded as a series of illus‐ trations to the Book of the Law; the doctrine of that Book is everywhere implicit.

She realized that he loved her, that his manner was merely [37] an ornament, an affectation like his shaved head and his strange dress. And her own love for him, freed from all doubt, rushed out as does the sun from behind the crest of some cold pyramid of rock and ice, in mountain lands.
