Consider also:

  1. “do thou give ear unto my Wisdom, for that therein lieth a simple and direct Way for every Man that he may attain to the End”
  2. “Seek ever therefore in thy Work of the Promulgation of the Law to discover in each Man his own true Nature.”
  3. “For in each Man his Inmost Light is the Core of his Star. That is, Hadit; and his Work is the Identification of himself with that Light.”
  4. “I would have thee to know that Spiritual Experience and Perfection have no necessary connection with Advancement in our Holy Order”
  5. “for each Man is a Path: there is a Constant, and there is a Variable”

  • "Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, nor customary suits of solemn black, nor windy suspiration of forced breath; no, nor the fruitful river in the eye, nor the dejected haviour of the visage together with all forms, moods, shows of grief, that can denote me truly. These indeed seem, for they are actions that a man might play; but I have that within which passeth show; these but the trappings and the suits of woe."
  • "Should I do what is necessary?" To my surprise, Julian took both Henry's hands in his own. "You should only, ever, do what is necessary," he said.
  • It was as I lay on the cellar floor, feeling the blood on my back become sticky and cold, that the angel first spoke to me. She filled the air with the scent of metal and surrounded me with a circle of blue flame, and I was frightened. “Don’t be afraid,” she told me. “I have come to speak to you, and through you. At the command of the god-machine you shall hear my words and know them to be true.” Her voice was like the notes of a flute and their vibrations calmed my fear. And that was how I learned the secret history of the world.
