…pring Exultant on thy breast? What aileth thee, O many-mooded melancholy sea? [fear the swift rush of that triumphant wing! Listen ! the world’s whole heart is listening ! In England now the leaf leaps, and the tree Gleams dewy, and the bird woos noisily. Here in the tropics now is no such thing. Dull heavy heat burns through the clouded sky, And yet no promise of the latter rains. Earth bears her fruit, but unrefreshed of death. In winter is no sorrow, in the dry Harsh spring no joy, while pestilence and pains Hover like wolves behind the summ…

…s but relative. Is it not true that all which we call reality is but relative , for abso lute truth is not to be found in the phenomenal world . Thus your natural reason does not possess its true essence , but only the appearance of truth and light ; and the more the essence of light inwardly fades , and the man confuses him self with this appearance , and gropes vainly after the dazzling phantasmal images he conjures . This appearance of Truth is practically what the Hindu would call “. maya ,” in which all created beings live . There is a way…

…as halfhearted. Yet, even so, the intrinsic power of the truth of the Law and the impact of the publication were sufficient to shake the world so that a critical war broke out, and the minds of men were moved in a mysterious manner . The second blow was struck by the re-publication of the Book in September 1913, and this time the might of this Magick burst out and caused a catastrophe to civilization. A t this hour, the Master THERION is concealed, collecting his forces for a final blow. When The Book of the Law and its Comment is published wit…

… of the Law, note, pray thee, the following additional suggestions for extending the Dominion of the Law of Thelema throughout the whole world. 1. All those who have accepted the Law should announce the same in daily intercourse. “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law” shall be the invariable form of greet- ing. These words, especially in the case of strangers, should be pronounced in a clear, firm, and articulate voice, with the eyes frankly fixed upon the bearer. If the other be of us, let 179

Note, too, the accuracy of the Yi King Symbol =-= for = = is of course the Symbol of our Lady, and the God below Her in the Stele is == the Sun. All this is clear proof of the unspeakable power and wisdom of Those who have sent me to proclaim the Law. If these events be indeed the result of calculation and control on the part of the Secret Chiefs, it seems at first sight as if th…

But the process ineluctably goes on ; when the whole world buys the nasty stuff , and will accept no other , the exploiter is still faced by diminishing returns . No possibility of expansion ; sooner or later dividends dwindle , and the Business is Bust. To even the most stupid it becomes plain at this stage that war is wholly ruinous ; organization breaks down altogether ; one meaningless revolution follows another ; famine and pestilence complete the job.

He is continually looking anxiously towards the east, and seems lost to this world, since his friend or master has disappeared in the wreck. From the middle of his face gushed a sad tune, and from his eyes many a bitter tear; but, as I said before, he addressed me not. I was not a little surprised, as he is the only one with me to know the secrets of the box. But I respected his silence. The two others were more suitable for my purpose.

All the civi- lised world may disappear; and we must have cultured beings to put in its place. Have you never thought of the dreadful doom perhaps reserved to our race; of the very slight dis- turbance that might reduce to nothing all our proud civilisa- tion, leaving only the puniest and less fitted amongst human beings?

The material world had become of so little importance that I no longer knew where I was. I completely mixed up my present journey with memories of two or three previous Continental excursions. It was the first time that Lou had ever been farther than Paris, and she looked to me for information as to time and place. With her, familiarity had not bred contempt, and I found myself unable to tell her the

I had also a map by Professor Garwood, the only trouble with which was that, not having been up the Yalung glacier himself, he had had to fill in the details from what he himself calls the unintelligible hieroglyphics of a native surveyor, who had not been there either. {424} It did not matter; but I was very much puzzled by the appearance of a peak where no peak should have bee…

…ce, but extended my understanding of its stable companion. I proceeded to grab as many of his books as I could. Each volume opened a new world to my vision. It was not clear why he had not impressed even the best critics as he deserved. Nobody had seen that each volume, apparently self-sufficient, was in reality one chapter, a single vast epic. The more I read and re-read, the more fully I realize the extent of his empire. I have gone into this at some length in order to firstly stress the importance of the work, and to prevent any reader suppo…

…s of the firmament, with ideas, souls, etc. I perceived also that each star was connected by a ray of light with each other star. In the world of ideas each thought possessed a necessary relation with each other thought; each such relation is of course a thought in itself; each such ray is itself a star. It is here that the logical difficulty first presents itself. The seer has a direct perception of infinite series. Logically, therefore, it would appear as if the entire space must be filled up with a homogeneous blaze of light. This however is…
