…the Key was found, the finder's name in the Order was-and had been from the moment of his admission as a Probationer-A chad , the Hebrew word for "One." And he came "after him" in the precise technical sense, that he was in fact the next person to undertake the Adventure of the Abyss. I hope you are not getting the idea that my Prophetic ambit is limited to these high-falutin' metaphysical masterpieces of Runic Lore. In case you do, I now propose to break your "seven green withes that were never dried"

THE 0=2 EQUATION 53 the convenient name of "Existence," or "The Universe." Cosmos is not so good for this purpose; that word implies "order," which in the present stage of our argument, is a mere assumption. D. We also tend to think of the Universe as containing things of which we are not aware; but this is altogether unjustifiable, although it is difficult to think at all without making some such assumption. For instance, one may come upon a new branch of knowledge-say, histology or Hammurabi or the language of the Iroquois or the poems of the…

…itress, a fox-hunter, and a Slovak! The importance of all this : I'm sure I've told you how Thoth, God of all Magick, the Wisdom and the Word, is usually shown with style and papyrus, as inventor of writing, which is the real Magical Art. Hence "grimoire" is nothing but grammar; to cast a "spell" explains itself; and the Angel (e.g., of a Church, see Revelations I, II) was merely the Secretary. I wanted to go right back, before letters were put together to make words at all. This is, I believe, almost wholly original work, though I'm not sure t…

…omehow it was a different kind of ardour. It was as if we had been released from the necessity of existence in the ordinary sense of the word. We were both wondering who we were and what we were and what was going to happen ; and, at the same time, we had a positive certainty that nothing could possibly happen. It was a most extraordinary feeling. It was of a kind quite unimaginable by any ordinary mind. I

He may serve the same purpose by resolving that every incident of his life shall remind him of a particular thing, making every impression the starting point of a connected sériés of thoughts ending in that thing. He might also devote his whole energies to some one particular object, by resolving to do nothing at variance therewith, and to make every act turn to the advantage of that object.) (18) He may…

…st of result, is every way perfect . This, from a practical point of view, is one of the most important verses in the book . The unusual word unassuaged is very interesting. People generally suppose that 'will' is the slave of purpose, that you cannot will a thing properly unless you are aiming at a definite goal. But this is not the case. Thinking of the goal actually serves to distract the mind. In these few words is included the whole method without all the bombastic piety of the servile doctrine of mysticism about the surrender of the Will.…

All right; on to No.2. Shall we look at levitation for a change? This power-if it be one-is very curious indeed. It connects more directly with magnetism than almost any other.

Tear down that lying spectre of the centuries: veil not your vices in virtuous words: these vices are my service; ye do well, & I will reward you here and hereafter. Commentary: Mohammed struck at the root of the insane superstition of tabu with his word: “Women are your field; go in unto them as ye will.”1 He only struck half the blow.
