task set him by Douglas; his pomposity always stood in his way; a man fighting for life is exceptionally a fool if he insists on stopping every moment to admire himself. Douglas had chosen him for one of the curious back- handed reasons which so often appeal to people of perverse intelligence: it was because he was harmless that he was selected to work harm. A democracy often chooses its generals on the same principle; a capable man might overthrow the republic. It apparently prefers to be overthrown by a capable enemy. But Douglas had backed h…
…As Berkeley had previously got hopelessly bogged in the swamps of God , so Hume , avoiding the shore line , set out on the same quest by way of the desert of Scepticism , without the chart of so divine a know ledge , but with the compass of a more certain direc tion ; nevertheless , soon losing his way in the arid 1 An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding , p . 163 . 2 Ibid . p . 161 .
…d. I’m just as bad or worse than I was on the day which I have called the day of Apophis (third day). The only thing to my credit is the way I’ve kept the mantra going. One thing at least is good; if anything does come of this great magical retirement—which I am beginning to doubt—it will not be mixed up with any other enthusiasm, poetic, venereal, or bacchanalian. It will be purely mystici But as it has not happened yet—- and just at present it seems incredible that it should happen—I think we may change the subject. . . . . What a fool I am, …

But I sometimes think that perchance you are Fragments of some new -fallen star ; Or golden lamps for a fairy shrine , Or golden pitchers for fairy wine . Perchance you are , O frail and sweet ! Bright anklet - bells from the wild spring 's feet ? Or the gleaming tears that some fair bride shed Remembering her lost maidenhead . But now , in the memoried dusk you seem The glimmering ghosts of a byegone dream . 169
…ough they make use of the formulae of nature which have brought them to their present situation , are attempts to proceed further on the way of the True Will. It is particularly important to understand this at the present time when the Aeon of Horus is just getting under way. For the Aeon of Isis, that of the Mother, appears to have regarded the whole of Nature as a spontaneous growth of universal scope. In the aeon of Osiris, the restriction of Family appears for the first time. The world of sentient beings is separated into clusters, each fam…
…hings of the Spirit one rarely obtains good results. The first operation was rather meaningless; but one must allow (a) that it was a new way of dealing those cards for the opening of an operation; (b) that I had had two false starts. The final operation is'certainly most favourable; we shall see if it comes true. I can hardly believe it possible. Will now go for a stroll, get some milk, and settle down for the evening. I regret to have to announce that on going across to the Dome with this laudable intention, Nina brought up that red-headed bund…
…. Outside these, one can think of no one, except the very reticent Rudolf Steiner, who betrays practical acquaintance with the Path. The way to discover whether a Teacher knows anything about it or not is to do the work yourself, and see if your understanding of him improves, or whether he fobs you off in your hour of need with remarks on Virtue. 3. Which wilt thou choose, O thou of dauntless heart? The Samtan of “Eye Doctrine,’ fourfold Dhyana, or thread thy way through Péramités, six in number, noble gates of virtue leading to Bodhi and to Pr…

Man loves the mysterious , and his god is but a poor conjuring trick , as is shown in “ Pentecost ” _ " mysterious way God moves in to fix up his Maskelyne tricks.” 2 Leaving now these satirical poems for other works of Crowley's , we shall find a deep , yet in no way less , intense hatred for the sham ideal of all religions . In “ Jephthah ” we listen to Jephthah praying to Jehovah , god of hosts , for victory over the Ammonites , not withstanding the fact that should victory be his lot a general violation of all the virg…
…then me in my search for the Quint— essence, the Stone of the Wise, the Summum Bonum, True Wisdom and Perfect Happiness ! I hope (by the way) that I have made it quite clear that all this time even a momentary cessation of active thought has been accompanied by the rising-up of the mantra. The rhythm, in short, perpetually dominates the brain ; and becomes active on every opportunity. The liquid Moslem mantra is much easier to get on to than is the usual Hindu type with its 1% and n sounds predominating: but it does not shake the brain up so fo…
…aith, farther from Adonai than ever before—and yet—and yet—- Do I not know that every error is a necessary step in the Path? The longest way round is the shortest way home. But it is disgusting! There‘s a grim humour in it, too. The real Devil of the Operation must be sitting with sardonic grin upon his face, enjoying my perplexity For that Dweller-of-the—Threshold-thought was not as dead as I supposed ; as Iwrite he comes again and again, urging me to quit the Path, to abandon the unequal contest.

Ill Is it your glance that told me? Nay! I know you would not look that way. Seeing, you strove to see not. Fool! I have ruined all in one rash deed. Learnt I not in discretion’s school The little care that lovers need? For see—I bite my lip to blood ; A stifled word of anguish hisses :— O the black word that dams thought’s flood! O the bad lip that looked for kisses! O the poor fool that prates of love! Is it a garter, or a glove? II

Shall leave the land And the plough - team 's labour , And take to his hand White lance and sabre .

…y, the whole explanation; but I see well enough that it won't do for you. You are not yet old or wise enough to understand that the only way to clear muddy water is to leave it alone. Still, you doubtless expect me to tell you just how that comes to pass; I will not disappoint you. First of all, what is the Tao? No proposed equivalent in any other language comes within a billion light-years of giving even an approximation. For one thing, it is itself a paradox; for another, it has several meanings which are apparently quite distinct. For instan…

"Perhaps the universe is a four-dimensional object, or collection of objects, quite sane, and simple, and intelligible, manifesting itself in diversity, regular or irregular, just as the cone did to the water." "Of course I can't grasp all this; I will ask Cyril to tell me again and again till I do. But what is this fourth-dimensional universe? Can't you give me something …
