THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING
( Continued )
Great as were Frater P.’s accomplishments in the ancient sciences of the East, swiftly
and securely as he had passed in a bare year the arduous road which so many fail to
traverse in lifetime, satisfied as himself was—in a sense—with his own progress, it
was not yet by these paths that he was destined to reach the Sublime Threshold of the
Mystic Temple. For though it is written, “To the persevering mortal the blessed
immortals are swift,” yet, were it otherwise, no mortal however persevering could
attain the immortal shore. As it is written in the Fifteenth Chapter of St. Luke’s
Gospel, “And when he was yet afar off, his Father saw him and ran.” Had it not been
so, the weary Prodigal, exhausted by his early debauches (astral visions and magic)
and his later mental toil (yoga) would never have had the strength to reach the House
of his Father.
One little point St. Luke unaccountable omitted. When a man is as hungry and weary
as was the Prodigal, he is apt to see phantoms. He is apt to clasp shadows to him, and
cry: “Father!” And, the devil being subtle, capable of disguising himself as an angel
of light, it behoves the Prodigal to have some test of truth.
Some great mystics have laid down the law, “Accept no messenger of God,” banish
all, until at last the Father himself comes forth. A counsel of perfection. The Father
himself does send messengers, as we learn in St. Mark xii.; and if we stone them, we
may perhaps in our blindness stone the Son himself when he is sent.
So that is no vain counsel of “St. John” ( 1 John iv. 1 ), “Try the spirits, whether they be
of God,” no mistake when “St. Paul” claims the discernment of Spirits to be a
principal point of the armour of salvation ( 1 Cor. xii. 10 ).
Now how should Frater P. or another test the truth of any message purporting to come
from the Most High? On the astral plane, its phantoms are easily governed by the
Pentagram, the Elemental Weapons, the Robes, the God-forms, and such childish toys.
We set phantoms to chase phantoms. We make our Scin-Laeca 1 pure and hard and
glittering, all glorious within, like the veritable daughter of the King; yet she is but the
King’s daughter, the Nephesch adorned: she is not the King himself, the Holy Ruach
or mind of man. As as we have seen in our chapter on Yoga, 2 this mind is a very
aspen; and as we may see in the last chapter of Captain Fuller’s “Star in the West,”
this mind is a very cockpit of contradiction.
What then is the standard of truth? What tests shall we apply to revelation, when our
tests of experience have been found wanting? If I must doubt my eyes that have
served me (well, on the whole) for so many years, must I not much more doubt my
spiritual vision, my vision just open like a babe’s, my vision untested by comparison
and uncriticized by reason?
1 An archaic Norweigian term, loosely “shining ghost.” Crowley borrowed it from a Bulwer-Lytton novel
( Zanoni or A Strange Story , I cannot remember which ) and used it to denote the “Astral Body” – T.S.
2 The previous installment of Temple of Solomon the King , in Equinox I ( 4 ) – T.S.
