…hapes Of calves and crocodiles and apes. Myself to sorceries I betook ; All sins that are did I contrive, Sealed in the Thora’s dreadful book— I live, and like my life, and thrive ! Doth God not see? His ear is dull? Or His speech strangled, His force null? Nay, verily ! These petty sins His mercy and long-suffering pardon. What final crime of horror wins At last His gracious heart to harden ? What one last infamy shall wake His anger, for His great Name’s sake? Is there one sin so horrible That no forgiveness can obtain, That flings apart the …

…circle? I certainly hope you did, for I was at the greatest pains to tell you so. But it is not a question of argument in Mr. Sullivan's book; it is a question of facts. He was talking about human values. He was asking whether science could possibly be cognizant of them. Here he comes, the great commander! Cheer, my comrades, cheer! 'But although consistent materialists were probably always rare, the humanistically important fact remained that science did not find it necessary to include values in its description of the universe. For it appeare…
… them. 'Everything is Sorrow'; and 'The cause of Sorrow is Desire.' By the word 'Desire' he meant exactly what is meant by 'Love' in The Book of the Law which I quoted a few moments ago. 'Desire' is the need of every unit to extend its experience by combining with its opposite. (14) It is easy enough to construct the whole series of arguments which lead up to the first 'Noble Truth.' Every operation of Love is the satisfaction of a bitter hunger, but the appetite only grows fiercer by satisfaction; so that we can say with the Preacher: 'He that…

…hould have some idea of what happens when you sit down to practise. 12. Let me digress for a moment and refer to what I said in my text- book on Magick with regard to the formula IAO. This formula covers all learning. You begin with a delightful feeling as of a child with a new toy; you get bored, and you attempt to smash it. But if you are a wise child, you have had a scientific attitude towards it, and you do not smash it. You pass through the stage of boredom, and arise from the inferno of
…aginary :—not that Zola’s peasants are as disgusting as Mr. Bishop. He is certainly a very strong argument against evolution, though his book is not. After wearing out his sister Ada, finding him- self faced with this expense of this stenographer aforesaid, he decided that it would be cheaper to get married. So he went to Llandudno; and, rather like Abraham when he found the ram caught in the thicket by its horns, he found a cow caught in the Children’s Special Service Mission by her feet, which were exceptionally large, and took her as wife in…
…)— I could have simply turned my sovereign head, Had I not seen, ’mid their obscene herd led, Crime, that the sun has not yet brought to book, Queen of my spirit with the peerless look. And she laughed with them at my dark distress, And turned them oft some dirtiest caress. LE VIN DU SOLITAIRE. THE strange look of a woman of the town, Who glides toward us like the rays that slake The wave-wrought moon within the trembling lake, Where she would dip her careless beauty down ; The last crowns unto which a gambler’s fingers cling ; A libertine care…

…Lytton. In The Temple of the Holy Ghost, however, the reader may trace the progress of my soul's development. A few of the poems in this book are comparatively normal. One can see the extent of my debt to various predecessors, especially Baudelaire. But while there is a certain delight in dalliance with demoniac Delilahs, there is a steady advance towards the utmost spiritual purity. In "The Athanor", the invocation of the Holy Guardian Angel reveals my true aspirations; while in "The Mountain Christ", "The Rosicrucian" and others, it is eviden…

…, and the spiritual results of Yoga, are demonstrated in every conscious and unconscious happening. This is that which is written in The Book of the LawLove is the law, love under willfor Love is the instinct to unite, and the act of uniting. But this cannot be done indiscriminately, it must be done 'under will,' that is, in accordance with the nature of the particular units concerned. Hydrogen has no love for Hydrogen; it is not the nature, or the 'true Will' of Hydrogen to seek to unite with a molecule of its own kind. Add Hydrogen to Hydro…
…l, 1904, which are recounted in detail in “The Equinox of the Gods”. One need here give only one quotation: “All these old letters of my Book are aright; but x is not the Star”. (AL. 1.57.) This was making darkness deeper. It was clear that the attribution of “The Star” to the letter Tzaddi was unsatisfactory; and the question arose, how to find an‐ other card which would take its place. An incredible amount of work was done on this; in vain. After nearly twenty years the solution appeared. The Star represents Nuit, the starry heavens. “I am In…
…SAPIENTIA ET STULTITIA1 O, my Son, in this the Colophon of mine Epistle will I recall the Title and Superscription thereof; that is, the Book of Wisdom or Folly. I proclaim Blessing and Worship unto Nuith our Lady and her Lord, Hadith, for the Miracle of the Anatomy of the Child Ra‐Hoor‐Khuit, as it is shewed in the design Minutum Mundum, the Tree of Life. For though Wisdom be the Second Emanation of His Essence, there is a path to separate and to join them, the Reference thereof being Aleph, that is One indeed, but also an Hundred and Eleven i…

… is consummated, that what he is and what he is not are identical. Therefore we cannot pick and choose in our Yoga. It is written in the Book of the Law, Chapter 1, verse 22, "Let there be no difference made among you between any one thing and any other thing, for thereby there cometh hurt." Venus represents the ecstatic acceptance of all possible experience, and the transcendental assumption of all particular experience into the one experience. Oh yes, by the way, don't forget this. In a lesser sense Venus represents tact. Many of the problems…

NChSh, the Serpent in Eden, has the value 358: 50 also MShICh, Messiah. He is, accordingly, in the secret doctrine, the Re‐ deemer. The thesis may be developed at great length. Later in the Legend, the doctrine reappears in slightly dif‐ ferent symbolism as the story of the Flood, elsewhere in this Essay explained. Of course, the Fish is identical …
…which were conferred by the Angel of each Aethyr in its turn. There was this further identification with Yoga practices recorded in this book. At times the concentration necessary to dwell in the Aethyr became so intense that definitely Samadhic results were obtained. We see then that the exaltation of the mind by means of magical practices leads (as one may say, in spite of itself) to the same results as occur in straightforward Yoga. I think I ought to tell you a little more about these visions. The method of obtaining them was to take a larg…
…as Paira Mull is very well off. The second child, Rohini, is the offspring of this liaison. About this time, the ‘worm’ is getting out a book of Indian folk songs, and he actually tries to include a number of translations made by his wife’s lover as his own. However, he is forced by her (after a stormy scene) to make a very inadequate acknowledg- ment, and we are given to understand that he only does this because the show can be so easily given away, the ‘worm’ not knowing ten words of the language from which he is supposed to be translating.
