…hou art is his pasture until to-morrow. And all that thou shalt be is nothing. Thou who wouldst enter the domain of the Great One of the Night of Time, this burden must thou take up. Deepen not a superficies. But I go on tearing down the veil that I may behold the vision of UTI, and hear the voice thereof. And there is a voice: He hath drawn the black bean. And another voice answers it: Not otherwise could he plant the Rose. And the first voice: He hath drunk of the waters of death. The answer: Not otherwise could he water the Rose. And the fir…

…t nine centuries in hating and despising France, in crying out on her for Atheism and immorality and all the rest of it; Edward VII, one night upon Mont Martre, shwears the French are jolly good shportsh, bigod, and lo! the Angel of the Entente Cordiale. It is disgusting to have to foul clean paper with the name of Servia. These swineherds who murdered and mutilated their own king and queen; whose manners make their own pigs gentlefolk; these assassins who officially plot and execute the dastard murder of the Crown Prince of a nation with whom …

…aw, what shall we do to satisfy our Will to Unity? No less a mistress than the Universe: no lupanar more cramped than Infinite Space: no night of rape that is not coeval with Eternity! Consider that as Love is mighty to bring forth all Ecstacy, so absence of Love is the greatest craving. Whoso is balked in Love suffereth indeed, but he that hath not actively that passion in his heart towards some object is weary with the ache of craving. And this state is called mystically “Dry- ness.” For this there is, as I believe, no cure but patient per- s…

The near- ness of my husband completed the magnetic field of our intimacy. Act, word, and thought were equally abolished. The elements of my consciousness did not represent me at all.

(4) She is certainly only twenty-four years old, and any competent judge would with equal certainty declare her sixty. (5) Professor von Buehle, to whom the note-books were sent, addressed to me a long and urgent telegram, begging her release on condition that she would promise not to commit suicide, but go to work with him in Bonn. I have yet to learn, however, that German professors…

…ort of the most serious kind of trouble. There is a great deal of useful stuff in Magick, pp. 92-100, and pp. 179-189. I could go on all night doing nothing but indicating sources of information. Then comes the question of how to "charge" the Talisman, of how to evoke or to invoke the Beings concerned, and of-oh! of so much that you need a lifetime merely to master the theory. Remember, too, please, what I have pointed out elsewhere, that the greatest Masters have quite often not been Magicians at all, technically; they have used such devices a…

It shall at once be inarticulate, and mean more than he hath ever heard. Now let him strive with ail the strength of his Soûl to withstand the Will of his Angel, con- cealing himself in the closest cell of the citadel of consciousness. Let him consecrate himself to resist the assault of the Voice and the Vibration until his consciousness faint away into Nothing. For if there abide unabsorbed even o…

There were already about twenty sheepish-looking tigers present, and when the Mahatma entered the room, I sat down next to him; for, knowing, in case a scrimmage should occur, that a Hindoo cannot stomach a blow in the spleen, I thoug…

Let Kheph-Ra sound his sharded drone! let the jackals of Day and Night howl in the wilder- ness of Time! let the Towers of the Universe totter, and the guardians hasten away! For my Lord hath revealed Him- self as a mighty serpent, and my heart is the blood of His body. 27. I am like a love-sick courtesan of Corinth.

The Shame of the Prodigal. 69 thy feet. Thou art no longer cheerful ; Laila in the night bade me observe that in thy song, which thou sangest to the eunuchs, there was a note of pain. Is it because thou hast not eaten for three days that thou hast lost thy good spirits ? Or wast thou ashamed, shooting the peppercorns ?3 No, by Allah, for thou hast no shame. It may be because I have clothed the male ass of Abdullah the tailor in costly trappings and made him pass throughout the whole city in charge of the pimp Mohammed Shaib the Maghraby4 saying…

He suggests that by failing to appreciate the opportunity at its full value he had somehow missed the supreme chance of his life, as if the "wrong house" were the gateway to another world, an inn, so to speak, on the outskirts of the City of God. In recent years I have been constantly alert and on the look-out for something of the kind. Whenever my plans are disarranged by a n…
