To Me, Every Dirty Act Was Simply

I Have Been Accused Of Being A ‘black Magician.’ No More Foolish Statement Was Ever Made About Me. I Despise The Thing To Such An Extent That I Can Hardly Believe In The Existence Of People So Debased And Idiotic As To Practice It.

In Every Magical, Or Similar System, It Is Invariably The First Condition Which The Aspirant Must Fulfill: He Must Once And For All And For Ever Put His Family Outside His Magical Circle.even The Gospels Insist Clearly And Weightily On This.christ Himself (i.e. Whoever Is Meant By This Name In This Passage) Callously Disowns His Mother And His Brethren (luke Viii, 19). And He Repeatedly Makes Discipleship Contingent On The Total Renunciation Of All Family Ties. He Would Not Even Allow A Man To Attend His Father's Funeral!is The Magical Tradition Less Rigid?not On Your Life!

My Observation Of The Universe Convinces Me That There Are Beings Of Intelligence And Power Of A Far Higher Quality Than Anything We Can Conceive Of As Human; That They Are Not Necessarily Based On The Cerebral And Nervous Structures That We Know, And That The One And Only Chance For Mankind To Advance As A Whole Is For Individuals To Make Contact With Such Beings.

Ever Man Is Eternally Alone. But When You Get Mixed Up With A Fairly Decent Crowd, You Forget That Appalling Fact For Long Enough To Give Your Brain Time To Recover From The Acute Symptoms Of Its Disease - That Of Thinking.

The Joy Of Life Consists In The Exercise Of One's Energies, Continual Growth, Constant Change, The Enjoyment Of Every New Experience. To Stop Means Simply To Die. The Eternal Mistake Of Mankind Is To Set Up An Attainable Ideal.
