THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING
I make a God out of it it will become but an illusion. I am ready to
receive the Magical Power as I should not abuse it. I must needs
accomplish the Finished Work.

We now arrive at another turning-point in the progress of
P. Up to the first of this year 1901 he had studied Western
methods of Magic alone, from this date, at first under the
tuition of D.A., and then solely under his own mastership, he
had begun to study Raja Yoga, practising meditation and a few
simple breathing exercise. Now he was going, if not entirely
under a Guru, to work daily with one with whom he had,
before his departure from England, carried out so many
extraordinary magical operations. And this one was no other
than Frater I. A.
On account of ill health Frater I. A. had journeyed to
Ceylon to see if a warmer climate would not restore to him
what a colder one had taken away; and now, that once again
his old friend P. had joined him, these two determined to
work out the Eastern systems under and Eastern sky and by
Eastern methods alone.
On the 1st of August we find P. writing:
“I exist not: there is no God: no place: no time: where-
fore I exactly particularize and specify these things.” And
