They went over to the bureau (Douglas was prepared to derive it from the library of Louis XIV), on which lay a private letter from the Kaiser, if one might believe the embossed arms and address, and a note asking President Poincare to dinner, "quite informally, my dear friend," which Butcher could not fail to see. The preliminary application form was a documen…

…rather unreliable. One must be a highly skilled man before one can trust one’s vision. A great many people think that they are extremely good at the business, when in fact they hâve onlv made some occasional shrewd guesses (which they naturallv remember) in the course of hundreds of forgotten failures. The onlv way to test clairvoyance is to keep a careful record of every experiment made. For example, Frater O. M. once gave a clairvoyant a waistcoat to psychometrize. He made 56 State- ments about the owner of the waistcoat ; of these 4 were not…

…reluc tant greeting of chlorine! Yet hydrogen and chlorine rush passion ately to embrace each other in monogamic madness! There is no “good” or “bad” in the matter; it is the enthusiastic energy of union, as betokened by the disengagement of heat, light, electric ity, or music, and the stability of the resulting compound, that sanctifies the act. Note also that the utmost external joy in any phenomenon is surpassed a millionfold by the internal joy of the realization that self-fulfilment in the sensible world is but a sym- 1:57 bol of the un…

Only (in the last event) by getting the mind firmly fixed in the complete philosophy of Thelema. There is no such thing as frustration . Every step is a step on the Path. It is simply not true that you are being baulked. The height of your irritation is a direct measure of the intensity of your Energy. Again, you soon come to laugh at yourself for your impatience . Probably (you surmise) your trouble is exactly that: you a…

No matter where: somewhere away: somewhere into the good places of the world—not a boy’s heart but was stirred within him: and the brave old English blood rose in them as he spoke, in his deep bass tones, of the worth of a single man in those far-off lands;—an oration destined to bear fruit in after-days, when the lads, who talk yet with bated breath of the speech and the speaker, shall grow to man’s estate. “Dangerous, Dick,” said Farmer John. “What should I d…

Here the climax is the music of the goddess, the assistants remaining in silent ecstasy. In the rite of Jupiter the impromptu is the dance, in that of Saturn long periods of silence. It will be noticed that in these Rites poetry and music were large!y employed mostly published pièces by well-known authois and composers.

…sue triumphantly from the evils of its past. A veritable “New Order” will be set up, bringing with it a general realization of what the “Good Life” means, and operating with a veritably “revolutionizing” effect beyond the most sanguine dreams of any one of those very heterogeneous groups of modern revolutionaries and reformers. This may not happen soon; the sceptic will say that, if it ever happens, it will be in the far future. 1 [Wilkinson refers to Liber AL vel Legis sub figura CCXX (London: O.T.O., 1938; 2nd rev. ed.

…ng to do But to those who seek reality the Key of Magick is offered, and they are hereby warned that the key to the treasure-house is no good without the combination; and the combination is the magical record. From one point of view, magical progress actually con- sists in deciphering one’s own record. 1 For this reason it is the most important thing to do, on strictly magical grounds. But apart from this, it is absolutely essential that the record snould be clear, fu.ll and concise, because it is only by such a record that your teacher can jud…

…Nuit! Hadit! Ra-Hoor-Khuit! The Sun, Strength & Sight, Light; these are for the servants of the Star & the Snake. Commentary: There is a good deal of the Nietzschean stand point in this verse. It is the evolutionary and natural view. Of what use is it to perpetuate the misery of tuberculosis, and such diseases, as we now do? Nature’s way is to weed out the weak. This is the most merciful way, too. At present all the strong are being damaged, and their progress hindered by the dead weight of the weak limbs and the missing limbs, the diseased li…

… quite as far as mine—it must be remembered that ‘‘scepticism” is merely the indication of a possible attitude, not a belief, as so many good fool folk think; but Buddha not only denies ‘‘ Cogito, ergo sum"’ ; but ‘‘ Cogito, ergo nonsum.” See Sadsasava Sutta, par. 10.* At any rate Sakkyaditthi, the delusion of personality, is in the very forefront of his doctrines; and it is this delusion that is con- stantly and inevitably affirmed in all normal consciousness. That Dhyanic thought avoids it is doubtful; even so, Buddha is here repre- sented as…
