Mysteries there are in the Cosmos
that unveiled fill the world with their light.
Let he who would be free from the bonds of darkness
first divine the material from the immaterial,
the fire from the earth;
for know ye that as earth descends to earth,
so also fire ascends unto
fire and becomes one with fire.
He who knows the fire that is within
himself shall ascend unto the eternal fire
and dwell in it eternally.-The Emerald Tablets of Thoth the Atlantean
From the summit of Mt. Sugarloaf in Deerfield Mass. Looking south down the Connecticut River. The rather static and incongruous high-rise buildings are the Amherst campus of the University of Massachusetts. The series of mountains on the horizon are known as the Seven Sisters, the southwesternmost being Mt. Holyoke. (From an earlier post.)
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself, with desire for what its monstrous laws have made monstrous and unlawful.
