THE EQUINOX “Such a one is ripe for adventure, and since, as your great poet has said, ‘Circumstance bows before those who never miss a chance,’ it was perhaps only a matter of time before I met with one. “Indeed (I will tell you, for it will help you to under- stand my story), I once found myself in an extremely absurd position through my fantastic trust in the impeccability of woman, “Tt was rather late one night, and I was walking home through a deserted street, when two brutal-looking ruffians came towards me, between them a young and beaut…

THE EQUINOX (1903). In the month of January he met his old College friend H. L. From the very first moment of this meeting H. L. showed considerable perturbation of mind, and on being asked by Frater P. what was exercising him, H. L. replied “Come and free Miss Q. from the wiles of Mrs. M. Being asked who Mrs. M. was, H. L. answered that she was a vampire and a sorceress who was modelling a sphinx with the intention of one day endowing it with life so that it might carry out her evil wishes; and that her victim was Miss Q. P. wishing to ease hi…

THE EQUINOX “Virtue,” he defines as: ‘‘the bent of mind towards self- command” (and evidently practises it). His morals are good; but his scientific conceptions really “take the cake!” ‘There are three kinds of animate creations in the world,” he writes: “They are the creations from (1) the womb; (2) Eggs; (3) Perspiration. ...” Another gem: “how is it that some of the bodies are male and some are female?” Answer: “If the male seed preponderates, a male body is produced; and if female, a female. While, when both are equally proportioned, an eun…

THE EQUINOX murderous conflicts shall go on. So when you call the God to whom you aspire ‘The Compassionate,’ ‘The Merciful,’ pray be very careful as to exactly what you mean ! " “ I am cold. I am frightened. The world has fallen away from me. Take me away. Put me into the ordeal; I have nothing'more to lose.” “ In the grey hours of the mom."

THE EQUINOX for though by him is form visible, he maketh it visible only to destroy it. And he saith: The light is come to the darkness, and the darkness is made light. Then is light married with light, and the child of their love is that other darkness, wherein they abide that have lost name and form. Therefore did I kindle him that had not understanding, and in the Book of the Law did I write the secrets of truth that are like unto a star and a snake and a sword. And unto him that understandeth at last do I deliver the secrets of truth in suc…

THE EQUINOX head, and his throat is livid with the pressure of her fingers. Their joint cry is an intolerable anguish, yet it is the cry of their rapture, so that every pain, and every curse, and every bereavement, and every death of everything in the whole universe, is but one little gust of wind in that tempest-scream of ecstasy. The voice thereof is not articulate. It is in vain to seek comparison. It is absolutely continuous, without breaks or beats. If there seem to be vibration therein, it is because of the imperfection of the ears of the…

THE EQUINOX with the joy thereof, and have no need of words. It would moreover be impertinent and tedious to call again thine attention to all those passages that thou knowest so well. Note, pray thee, that in the matter of direct instruction there isenough. Consider the passage “Choose yeanisland! For- tify it! Dung it about with enginery of war! I will give you a war-engine. With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you. Lurk! Withdraw! Upon them! This is the Law of the Battle of Conquest: thus shall my worship be about …

THE EQUINOX and the destruction of an atom of helium would be as catas- trophic to the conservation of matter and energy as if a mil- lion spheres were blotted into annihilation by the will of God. I am well aware that from this point you could draw me subtly over the tiger-trap of the Freewill Controversy; you would make it difficult for me even to say that it is better to fulfil one’s destiny consciously and joyously than like a stone; but lam on my guard. I will return to plain politics and common sense. Our Founder, then, when he thought ov…

… people concerned. Only one clear duty lay before me. The five years of silence which were to follow the publication of number 10 of The Equinox were at an end. I therefore devoted myself to planning another ten numbers, beginning at the spring equinox of 1919. I had an immense amount of material ready for publication. The one critical omission was the comment on The Book of the Law, which I had

THE EQUINOX still there . . . . until we reach Kether of Atziluth and the Infinite Light, and Space, and Nothing. So then we retire up the path, fighting rear-guard actions ; at every moment a soldier is slain by a hunchback; but as we retire there is always a soldier just by us. Until the end. The end? Buddha thought the supply of hunchbacks infinite ; but why should not the soldiers them- selves be infinite in number? However that may be, here is the point; it takes a moment for a hunchback to kill his man, and the farther we get from our bas…

THE EQUINOX this tenet should not be overlooked in our attempt to assign its first suggestion and succeeding spread to their proper causes. I looked, and lo! all the celestial hemisphere was one terrific brazen bell, which rocked upon some invisible adaman- tine pivot in the infinitudes above. When I came it was voiceless, but I soon knew how it was tosound. My feet were quickly chained fast to the top of heaven, and, swinging with my head downward, I became its tongue. Still more mightily swayed that frightful bell, and now, tremendously crash…

THE EQUINOX We are further glad to hear such good reports from every branch. The North and the Midlands are already making London look to its laurels; the West has surpassed all hope; America, South Africa, Burma, India, the Malay Peninsula, West Africa, all thrive. Australia has received an important addition to its strength ; we have excellent accounts from British Columbia, Paraguay, and Brazil. France is being specially nursed at present, but Holland, Switzerland, and Germany need no such aid. The work in Spain is still hampered by politica…

THE EQUINOX like waves of gold upon the sea. My eyes are brighter than the sun. My tongue is swifter than the lightning. Yet am I hemmed in by the armies of night, singing, singing praises unto Him that is smitten by the thunder- bolt of the abyss. Is not the sky clear behind the sun? These clouds that burn thee up, these rays that scorch the brains of men with blindness; these are heralds before my face of the dissolution and the night. Ye are all blinded by my glory; and though ye treasure in your heart the sacred word that is the last lever …
