I Make Myself Invisible in Articles by Aleister Crowley.

“My success with Yoga was so great that it became dangerous. For my own good I left it alone for two years, departing from Ceylon and going to India.” [via, also]

Consider also:

  1. “I took a bungalow at Kandy and was steered through the beginnings of the art. Yoga may be taught in eight words. ‘Sit still! Stop thinking! Shut up! Get out!’ It is the learning that is difficult.”

  3. “My travels took me to Ceylon, where I devoted myself to Yoga.”
  4. “A girl played the violin during the rites. She was a good violinist, but under the influence of the ceremonies, she was more; she played sublimely, like a supreme virtuoso, in the magical invocations directed upon her.”
  5. “In Mexico, too, I made my first experiments in acquiring invisibility. By invoking the God of Silence, Harpocrates, by the proper ritual in front of a mirror, I gradually got to the stage where my reflection began to flicker like the images of one of the old-fashioned cinemas.”
