…ield of human thought and human activity, infecting with one malady after another. Sex repression, sex-frustration, as Freud has truly told us, breed war makers and war. They and their cousins german, malevolent inter ference with individual freedom of thought and man’s natural right to all the pleasures of life, breed also social discontents and social ills. In the strictest sense, such persecuting manias are anti social. The true will of humanity is against them and against their offspring. That will is not for wars, it is not for the “mo…

100 THE ARGONAUTS Bronzed with a ruder sun than ours, and scarred | (Rough tokens. of old battles) yet so calm And mild (with all that vigour) that to me Came a swift pity—the enchanter’s bane. That I flung from me. But my subtle soul Struck its own bosom with the sword of thought, So that I saw not pity, but desire! CHORUS. Surely a bane more potent than the first. MEDEA. Love is itself enchantment ! CHORUS. Some kind god Whispers from this a little light of hope. MEDEA. Only the hopeless are the happy ones. CHORUS. But didst thou turn him fro…

I’ve been doing very well, but somehow, it’s gone as easy as it came.

…, like all true Gods, is therefore a Solar-Phallic deity. But we regard Him as He is in truth, eternal; the Solar-Phallic deities of the old /Eon, such as Osiris, “Christ,” Hiram, Adonis, Hercules, etc., were supposed, through our igno rance of the Cosmos, to “die” and “rise again.” Thus we celebrated rites of “crucifixion” and so on, which have now become meaningless. Ra-Hoor-Khuit is the Crowned and Con quering Child. This is also a reference to the “Crowned” and Conquering “Child” in ourselves, our own personal God. Except ye become as lit…

…are terrified of it. They speak of one who has died as “poor,” which must mean that they regard him as having suf fered a calamity. The old Christian conceptions of life after death as either eternal combustion or eternal harp-strumming are no longer at all generally believed; indeed, it may be questioned whether they ever were seriously believed, except by a fanatical minority. Christianity—popular Christianity, at least—has never had anything better to offer than this everlasting torture for the damned and everlasting boredom for the saved. …

… marriage. Germany and France have tried to “save their faces” in a thoroughly Chinese manner, by “marrying” pregnant spinsters to dead soldiers! England has been too deeply hypocritical, of course, to do more than “hush things up”; and is pretending “business as usual,” though every pulpit is aquake with the clamour of bat- eyed bishops, squeaking of the awful immorality of everybody but themselves and their choristers. Englishwomen over 30 have the vote; when the young ’uns get it, good-bye to the old marriage system. America has made marriag…

…Every man and every woman is not only a part of God, but the Ultimate God. “The Centre is everywhere and the circumference nowhere.” The old definition of God takes new meaning for us. Each one of us is the One God. This can only be understood by the initiate; one must acquire certain high states of consciousness to appreciate it. I have tried to put it simply in the note to the last verse. I may add that in the Trance called by me the “Star-Sponge”—see note to v. 59—this apprehension of the Universe is seen as an astral Vision.1 2 It began as …

To the majority of mankind gold looks like dross unless it be wrapped up in tinsel, and tenfold the proper price marked on it in plain figures, with the word "Sacrifice." Hence it is that the most successful merchants omit the gold altogether. "Oh; I didn't understand." "You'll observe that I can't explain this to [324] Cripps,; I shall have to spin some sort of a yarn." "Yes, yes." In point of fact the "yarn" was already spun; Cyril had…
