September 29th. 12.0 m.n. 164 11.15-11.41 a.m. a.m. THE EQUINOX Dhâranâ on Ajna and “Aum Tat Sat Aum” thirty-one minutes. At one time Ajna seemed enormously, perhaps infinitely, elongated. Mantra “Aum Tat Sat Aum” with usual throbbing. Took 210 drops of Laudanum as an experiment under Mâitrânanda’s guidance. (Absolutely no mental result, and hardly any physical result. I must be most resistant to this drug, which I had never previously taken). 30th. Recovering from the Laudanum. 10.5 a.m. Prânâyâma and Dhâranâ hopeless.* October. Another month of this great work commences, and though the toil has not been wasted the reward indeed seems still far off. On the first of the month P. writes:— “Blessed be thou, O Bhâvâni, O Isis my Sister, my Bride, my Mother! Blessed be Thou, O Shiva, O Amoun, Concealed of the Concealed. By Thy most secret and Holy Name of Apophis be Thou blessed, Lucifer, Star of the Dawn, Satan- Jeheshua, Light of the World! Blessed be Thou, Buddha, Osiris, by whatever Name I call Thee Thou art nameless to Eternity. “Blessed by Thou, O Day, that Thou hast risen in the Night of Time; First Dawn in the Chaos of poor P.’s poor mind! Accursed be Thou, Jehovah, Brahma, unto the Æons of Æons: thou who didst create Darkness and not Light! Mâra, vile Mask of Matter! “Arise, O Shiva, and destroy! That in destruction these at last be blest.” 1st. 5.30 p.m. 9.30 p.m. Prânâyâma. Mantra seventeen minutes. Noise of glass being rubbed persistent. From now I decide to work more seriously, and follow out the following programme: Mantra “Aum Tat Sat Aum.” Dhâranâ on Ajna Chakkra. Read Bhagavad-Gita. Vegetarian diet. Normal amount of sleep. * Probably at this time a period of “dryness” supervened.
THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING Speech only when necessary. Prânâyâma. Â’sana with eyes turned up. October. Walking as exercise. 2nd. 8.30 a.m. 9.10-10.50 a.m. a.m. 10.50-12.5 a.m. p.m. 12.35-1.45 a.m. a.m. 2.20-2.45 p.m. p.m. 3.10-3.45 p.m. p.m. 4.10 p.m. 5.42 p.m. Mantra “Aum Tat Sat Aum.” Â’sana with Mantra and eyes turned to Ajna Chakkra. Chittam distinctly slowing towards end. Continued lying down. [Did I sleep?] For a walk muttering Mantra. Â’sana. Always forgetting to repeat the Mantra, Mâitrânandra Swami says this is right. Ajna is now more steely in appearance and is open at a constant angle of about 30° to 40°. Prânâyâma. Thirty minutes 10. 20. 30. Resumed Â’sana. The “invading” thoughts are more and more fragmentary and ridiculous. I cannot mentally pronounce the Mantra with correctness, e.g. “Op tap sapa” or “shastra” for “sat,” etc. Now arose, with Music of the Vînâ the Golden Dawn.* At 5.15 I arose. Resumed my Â’sana and did three Prânâyâmas of 25. 15. 50. Also of 20. 10. 40. Mâitrânanda Swami explained above as follows: Unto the sunset, moonrise, Agni;† then Vishvarupa Darshana,‡ and one’s own personal God;§ then Âtma-Darshanaƒƒ and Shiva- Darshana. * The Golden Dawn, Dhyâna of the Sun. † Or Rupa Visions. That is, visions of the three Lights of the Gunas. See “The Herb Dangerous.” THE EQUINOX, vol. i, No. 2. ‡ The great Vision of Vishnu. See the Eleventh Discourse in the Bhagavad- Gita. “Unnumbered arms, the sun and moon. Thine eyes. I see Thy face, as sacrifical fire blazin, its splendour burneth up the worlds.” Verse 19. § Adonai. The Vision of the Holy Guardian Angel. ƒƒ Atma-Darshana, the universal vision of Pan, or the vision of the Universal Peacock. It has many forms. Vision of Shiva, which destroys the Âtma-Darshana. The God Shiva opens his eye, and Equilibrium is re-established. 165
