As a quid pro quo I give you all full permission to conclude your review of this book by quoting from Act III. " Forget this nightmare!" I must express my great sense of gratitude to Oscar Eckenstein, Gerald Kelly, and Allan MacGregor, who have severally helped me in the work of revision, which has extended over more than a year of time and nearly twenty thousand miles of space. Some few of t…

…ho you are and what you are doing! This is only one of many adventures that may come to you ; but it is one of the most typical. By this time your hours of meditation will fill most of the day, and you will probably be constantly having presenti- ments that something is about to happen. You may also be terrified with the idea that your brain may be giving way ; but you will have learnt the real symptoms of mental fatigue, and you will be careful to avoid them. They must be very carefully distinguished from idleness! At certain times you will feel…

In the first place it announces unconditional truth, but in the second is careful to state that the "Magical Formula" (or system of principles) on which the practical part of the book is based is not an absolute truth by one relative to the terrestrial time of the revelation.

The tongue of the Archbishop had not been idle during this time ; but the thoughts of his see ever interfered with his more spiritual duties, and he waxed remiss. The Countess, sensible of the neglect, and ac- cepting the same as a slight to her admittedly pox- eaten charms, blew off a fiery fart in his face as a slight mark of her displeasure. It failed of its effect : on the contrary the wor- thy man experienced so powerful a stimulus to his erotic fancies that his …

…M OF A..A.. The object of this course of reading is to familiarize the student with all that has been said by the Great Masters in every time and country. He should make a critical exam- ination of them; not so much with the idea of discovering where truth lies, for he cannot do this except by virtue of his own spiritual experience, but rather to discover the es- sential harmony in those varied works. He should be on his guard against partisanship with a favourite author. He should familiarize himself thoroughly with the method of mental equili…

To the mind of the adept this sentence will awaken all its possible correspondences, all the reflec- tions he has ever made on time, as also accidental sympa- thetics like Mr. Whistler’s essay; and if he is sufficiently far advanced, all these thoughts in their hundreds and thousands diverging from the one thought, will again converge, and become the resultant of all those thoughts.

(See Atu 0, above.) At least he succeeded in identi‐ fying the goat portrayed upon the card with Pan. On the Tree of Life, Atu XIII and XV are symmetrically placed; they lead from Tiphareth, the human consciousness, to the spheres in which Thought (on the one hand) and Bliss (on the other) are developed.
