…o dissolution vile, Fades as the royal truth is known : Though change and sorrow range and roll , There is no self - there is no soul !? TIME AND SPACE One question still remains before we dismiss the question of Time and Space , and that is their homo geneity and accidental reality in the Ego . Being forms of extension , Space permits Size , and Time , Number , i.e., in Consciousness . This is the meaning of “ Time is the fourth Dimension .” So the hard thinking of Crowley arrives eventually at the trans cendental idea of considering Space as …

THE SPHINX AT GIZEH I saw the other day the Sphinx’s painted face. She had painted her face in order to ogle Time. And he has spared no other painted face in all the world but hers. Delilah was younger than she, and Delilah is dust. Time hath loved nothing but this worthless painted face. I do not care that she is ugly, nor that she has painted her face, so that she only lure his secret from Time. Time dallies like a fool at her feet when he should be smiting cities. Time never wearies of her silly smile. There are temples all about her that he…

…es us say , it is of an extended body or idea . This taken together reduces the universe to a lot of minima cogitabilia , linked only by Time ; Anima explained by Ratio . ? Space is Geometry : Time is Arithmetic , i.e. , the geometrical conception , the mathematical conception . Thus , if I a blue pig ten times , that think of is ten blue pigs ; yet in Space there is but one blue pig . Can we reduce Space --which I spiritually com prehend so well , intellectually so badly - to a form of Time (which , vice versa ?) Yes , if we suppose that a def…

We all judge of the lapse of time in relation to our daily habits or some similar standard. The conviction of immortality must naturally destroy all values for this sense. If I am immortal, what is the difference between a long time and a short time? A thousand years and a day are obviously the same thing from the point of view of for ever. There is a subconscious clock in us, a clock wound up by the experience of the race to go for seventy years or so. Five minutes is a very long time to us if we are waiting for an omnibus, an age if we are …

XXXIX THOROUGHBRED SHE is ugly enough, in all conscience, and yet how delicious she is! Time and Love have set the mark of their claws upon her, and taught her cruelly how much of youth and freshness each minute and each kiss carry away. Verily, she is ugly! She is an ant, a spider, if you will; even a skeleton:but also she is a love-draught, a magistry, a sorcery! Take her all in all, she is exquisite. Time has not been able to destroy the sparkling rhythm of her walk, or the indestructible elegance of her ap- parel. Love has not altered the …

…Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law. You will certainly have to have an india-rubber medal for persistence ; this is the nth time that you have tried to catch me contradicting myself. Well, so I do, and must, every time I make any statement whatever , as has been shown several times in this chatty little interchange of views. But that is not what you mean. You say-permit me to condense your more than somewhat tautological , pleonastic, prolix , diffuse and incoherent elucubrations!-that the whole idea of the Great Order is based on …

… must always be drunk. Everything lies in that; it is the only question worth consider- ing. In order not to feel the horrible burden of time which breaks your shoulders and bows you down to earth, you must intoxicate your- self without truce, but with what? With wine, poetry, or art?As you will; but intoxicate yourself. And if sometimes upon the steps of a pal- ace, or upon the green grass of a moat, or in the sad solitude of your own room, you awake, intoxication already diminished or disappeared, ask of the wind, of the wave, of the star, o…

…26. Now for a spot of Sullivan! 'The geometry is so general that it admits of different degrees of curvature in different parts of space-time. It is to this curvature that gravitational effects are due. The curvature of space-time is most prominent, therefore, around large masses, for here the gravitational effects are most marked. If we take matter as fundamental, we may say that it is the presence of matter that causes the curvature of space-time. But there is a different school of thought that regards matter as due to the curvature of space-…

… putting-by of fears. A hope and a beginning Of sweet long days of sinning, While graying hairs and thinning Mark the unnoticed years. A time for song and laughter, And tender tears that fall ; A time to think of after, One long sweet festival ; A time for love and gladness, For life and hope and madness, And scarce a tinge of sadness To sanctify it all. Then we may yet, together, Indwell the land of bliss ; In blue unclouded weather By some new Salmacis. A land where Love engages Life sweeter than the sage’s, Where cling we through the ages In…

…and bleak ravines Unto these weary and untrodden regions Where man lies penned among his Might-have-beens. Keep us in safety, Lord, What time the King-Ghost is abroad ! The King-Ghost from his grey malefic slumbers Awakes the malice of his bloodless brain. He marshals the innumerable numbers Of shrieking shapes on the sepulchral plain. Keep us, for Jesus sake, What time the King-Ghost is awake ! The King-Ghost wears a crown of hopes forgotten ; Dead loves are woven in his ghastly robe ; Bewildered wills and faiths grown old and rotten And deed…

So we find that taking the above as general de finitions , they may with equal accuracy be applied to either the Ego or the race ; in the former case , Space and Time vanishing with the extinction of the indi vidual ; in the latter with that of the race . So also if space be defined as “ the potentiality of all co existences ,” then in the destruction of …

YET TIME TO TURN 51 YET TIME TO TURN Brighter than snow on glittering Alps, the soul Of my lost love was, bluer than the haze Of those same hills, more violent and deep Her eyes’ clear gaze, Dreaming of hidden wonders ; and the goal Of life grew luminous o’er Time’s empurpled steep. She loved me then ; she loves me now, afar. Ah, she knew not ! and I, so steeped and stained With fierce sins, knew myself unworthy of The heart I gained, And, a lost mariner whose polar star He is ashamed to look to, cast away her love. I would not have her love a …

The planets draw in endless orbits round The sun ; itself revolves in the profound Black wells of space ; the comets mystic track By the strong rule of a closed curve is bound. Why not with time ?
