Now every Thought is a Separ- ation, and he Medicine of that is to marry Each One with its Contradiction, as I have shewed formerly in many Writings. And thou shalt clap the one to the other with Vehemence of Spirit, swiftly as Light itself, that the Ecstasy be spontaneous. So therefore it is Expedient that thou have ravelled already in this Path of Antithesis, knowing perfectly t…

LIBER ALEPH VEL CXI 164 #h De sua Carta Clorum (Of his Horoscope) PRAY thee to mark, o my Son, how the Grace of Nature was benignant at my Nativity, to the right Balance and Formulation of my Sphinx.

I found that the world was, after all, full of delightful damned souls; of people who accepted nature as she is, accepted their own place in nature and enjoyed it, fought mean and despicable things fairly and firmly whenever they met them. It was a period of boundless happiness for me. I had always yearned for the beauty of nature; my only friends, except animals and occasional strangers, from whom I was carefully protected, had been the skies, the streams, the mountains and the seas. For the first time in my life I was br…

…ons will find great relief from it. CHAPTER II LIFE AND DEATH.—SLEEP AND WAKING SLEEP is an incomplete death; death is a complete sleep. Nature subjects us to sleep in order to accustom us to the idea of death, and warns us by dreams of the persistence of another life. The astral light into which sleep plunges us is like an ocean in which innumerable images are afloat, flotsam of wrecked existences, mirages and reflections of those which pass, presentiments of those which are about to be. Our nervous disposition attracts to us those images whic…

It is one of those eternal truths of Nature which persist, no matter what the environment, in respect of place or period.” To these remarks I can but smile my most genial assent. The only objection that I can take to them is to point out that the con notation of the word “chastity” may have been misunderstood from a scientific point of view, just as modern science has modi fied our conception of the relations of the earth and the sun with out …

Now I hope that I shall; surely the Reaction of Nature against the Magical Will must be wearing down at last! I wake. It takes me a little while to shake off the dominion of sleep, very intense and bitter.

In nature, the obvious symbol of Air is the Wind “which bloweth whithersoever it listeth”. It lacks the concentrated Will of Fire to unite with Water: it has no corresponding pas‐ sion for its Twin Element, Earth. There is indeed, a notable passivity in its nature; evidently, it has no self‐generated impulse. But, set in motion by its Father and Mother, its power is mani‐ festly terrific.

Symbolically, this announces the course of Nature as proceeding from free and formless création through controlled and formed préservation to the silence of destruction. The three sounds are harmonized into one; and thus the Word represents the Hindu Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva; and the operations in the Universe of their triune energy. It is thus the formula of a Manvantara, or period of manifested existence, which alternâtes with a Pralaya, …
