VA A publication in Class B
777THE FOLLOWING is an attempt to systematise alike the data of mysticism and theresults of comparative religion.The sceptic will applaud our labours, for that the very catholicity of the symbolsdenies them any objective validity, since, in so many contradictions, something mustbe false; while the mystic will rejoice equally that the self-same catholicity allembracing proves that very validity, since after all something must be true.Fortunately we have learnt to combine these ideas, not in the mutual toleration of subcontraries, but in the affirmation of contraries, that transcending of the laws ofintellect which is madness in the ordinary man, genius in the Overman who hatharrived to strike off more fetters from our understanding. The savage who cannotconceive of the number six, the orthodox mathematician who cannot conceive of thefourth dimension, the philosopher who cannot conceive of the Absolute—all these areone; all must be impregnated with the Divine Essence of the Phallic Yod ofMacroprosopus, and give birth to their idea. True (we may agree with Balzac), theAbsolute recedes; we never grasp it; but in the travelling there is joy. Am I no betterthan a staphylococcus because my ideas still crowd in chains?But we digress.The last attempts to tabulate knowledge are the Kabbala Denudata of Knorr vonRosenroth (a work incomplete and, in some of its parts, prostituted to the service ofdogmatic interpretation), the lost symbolism of the Vault in which ChristianRosenkreutz is said to have been buried, some of the work of Dr. Dee and Sir EdwardKelly, some very imperfect tables in Cornelius Agrippa, the “Art” of Raymond Lully,some of the very artificial effusions of the esoteric Theosophists, and of late years theknowledge of the Order Rosæ Rubeæ et Aureæ Crucis and the Hermetic Order of theGolden Dawn. Unluckily, the leading spirit in these latter societies1 found that hisprayer, “Give us this day our daily whisky, and just a wee drappie mair for luck!” wassternly answered, “When you have given us this day our daily Knowledge-lecture.”Under these circumstances Daath got mixed with Dewar, and Beelzebub withBuchanan.But even the best of these systems is excessively bulky; modern methods have enabledus to concentrate the substance of twenty thousand pages in two score.The best of the serious attempts to systematise the results of Comparative Religion isthat made by Blavatsky. But though she had an immense genius for acquiring facts,she had none whatever for sorting and selecting the essentials.Grant Allen made a very slipshod experiment in this line; so have some of thepolemical rationalists; but the only man worthy of our notice is Frazer of the GoldenBough. Here again, there is no tabulation; for us it is left to sacrifice literary charm,and even some accuracy, in order to bring out the one great point.i
This: That when a Japanese thinks of Hachiman, and a Boer of the Lord of Hosts, theyare not two thoughts, but one.The cause of human sectarianism is not lack of sympathy in thought, but in speech;and this it is our not unambitious design to remedy.Every new sect aggravates the situation. Especially the Americans, grossly andcrapulously ignorant as they are of the rudiments of human language, seize likemongrel curs upon the putrid bones of their decaying monkey-jabber, and gnaw andtear them with fierce growls and howls.The mental prostitute, Mrs. Eddy (for example), having invented the idea whichordinary people call “God,” christened it “Mind,” and then by affirming a set ofpropositions about “Mind,” which are only true of “God,” set all hysterical, dyspeptic,crazy Amurrka by the ears. Personally, I don’t object to people discussing theproperties of four-sided triangles; but I draw the line when they use a well-knownword, such as pig, or mental healer, or dung-heap, to denote the object of theirparanoiac fetishism.Even among serious philosophers the confusion is very great. Such terms as God, theAbsolute, Spirit, have dozens of connotations, according to the time and place of thedispute and the beliefs of the disputants.Time enough that these definitions and their inter-relation should be crystallised, evenat the expense of accepted philosophical accuracy.2. The principal sources of our tables have been the philosophers and traditionalsystems referred to above, as also, among many others, Pietri di Abano,2 Lilly, EliphazLevi, Sir R. Burton, Swami Vivekananda, the Hindu, Buddhist, and Chinese Classics,the Qúran and its commentators, the Book of the Dead, and, in particular, originalresearch. The Chinese, Hindu, Buddhist, Moslem and Egyptian systems have neverbefore been brought into line with the Qabalah; the Tarot has never been made public.Eliphaz Levi knew the true attributions but was forbidden to use them.*All this secrecy is very silly. An indicible Arcanum is an arcanum that cannot berevealed. It is simply bad faith to swear a man to the most horrible penalties if hebetray . . ., etc., and then take him mysteriously apart and confide the HebrewAlphabet to his safe keeping.3 This is perhaps only ridiculous; but it is a wickedimposture to pretend to have received it from Rosicrucian manuscripts which are to befound in the British Museum. To obtain money on these grounds, as has been done bycertain moderns, is clear (and, I trust, indictable) fraud.The secrets of Adepts are not to be revealed to men. We only wish they were. Whena man comes to me and asks for the Truth, I go away and practice teaching theDifferential Calculus to a Bushman; and I answer the former only when I havesucceeded with the latter. But to withhold the Alphabet of Mysticism from the learneris the device of a selfish charlatan. That which can be taught shall be taught, and thatwhich cannot be taught may at last be learnt.*This is probably true, though in agreement with the statement of the traducer of Levi’sdoctrine and the vilifier of his noble personality.ii
3. As a weary but victorious warrior delights to recall his battles—Fortisan hæc olimmeminisse juvabit*—we would linger for a moment upon the difficulties of our task.The question of sacred alphabets has been abandoned as hopeless. As one who shouldprobe the nature of woman, the deeper he goes the rottener it gets; so that at last it isseen that there is no sound bottom. All is arbitrary;† withdrawing out caustics andadopting a protective treatment, we point to the beautiful clean bandages and ask theclinic to admire! To take one concrete example: the English T is clearly equivalent insound to the Hebrew t, the Greek t, the Arabic P and the Coptic t, but the numerationis not the same. Again, we have a clear analogy in shape (perhaps a whole series ofanalogies), which, on comparing the modern alphabets with primeval examples,breaks up and is indecipherable.The same difficulty in another form permeates the question of gods.Priests, to propitiate their local fetish, would flatter him with the title of creator;philosophers, with a wider outlook, would draw identities between many gods in orderto obtain a unity. Time and the gregarious nature of man have raised gods as ideasgrew more universal; sectarianism has drawn false distinctions between identical godsfor polemical purposes.Thus, where shall we put Isis, favouring nymph of corn as she was? As the type ofmotherhood? As the moon? As the great goddess Earth? As Nature? As the CosmicEgg from which all Nature sprang? For as time and place have changed, so she is allof these!What of Jehovah, that testy senior of Genesis, that lawgiver of Leviticus, that Phallusof the depopulated slaves of the Egyptians, that jealous King-God of the times of theKings, that more spiritual conception of the Captivity, only invented when alltemporal hope was lost, that mediæval battleground of cross-chopped logic, that Beingstripped of all his attributes and assimilated to Parabrahman and the Absolute of thePhilosopher?Satan, again, who in Job is merely Attorney-General and prosecutes for the Crown,acquires in time all the obloquy attaching to that functionary in the eyes of thecriminal classes, and becomes a slanderer. Does any one really think that any angel issuch a fool as to try to gull the Omniscient God into injustice to his saints?Then, on the other hand, what of Moloch, that form of Jehovah denounced by thosewho did not draw huge profit from his rites? What of the savage and morose Jesus ofthe Evangelicals, cut by their petty malice from the gentle Jesus of the Italianchildren? How shall we identify the thaumaturgic Chauvinist of Matthew with themetaphysical Logos of John? In short, while the human mind is mobile, so long willthe definitions of all our terms vary.*[Lat. approx. “perhaps it will be pleasant to remember these things one day.”]All symbolism is perhaps ultimately so; there is no necessary relation in thought between theidea of a mother, the sound of the child’s cry “Ma,” and the combination of lines ma. This, too,is the extreme case, since “ma” is the sound naturally just produced by opening the lips andbreathing. Hindus would make a great fuss over this true connection; but it is very nearly theonly one. All these beautiful schemes break down sooner or later, mostly sooner.†iii
But it is necessary to settle on something: bad rules are better than no rules at all. Wemay then hope that our critics will aid our acknowledged feebleness; and if it beagreed that much learning hath made us mad, that we may receive humane treatmentand a liberal allowance of rubber-cores in our old age.4. The Tree of Life is the skeleton on which this body of truth is built. Thejuxtaposition and proportion of its parts should be fully studied. Practice alone willenable the student to determine how far an analogy may be followed out. Again, someanalogies may escape a superficial study. The Beetle is only connected with the signPisces through the Tarot Trump “The Moon.” The Camel is only connected with theHigh Priestess through the letter Gimel.Since all things whatsoever (including no thing) may be placed upon the Tree of Life,the Table could never be complete. It is already somewhat unwieldy; we have tried toconfine ourselves as far as possible to lists of Things Generally Unknown. It must beremembered that the lesser tables are only divided from the thirty-two-fold table inorder to economise space; e.g. in the seven-fold table the entries under Saturn belongto the thirty-second part in the large table.We have been unable for the moment to tabulate many great systems of Magic; thefour lesser books of the Lemegeton,4 the system of Abramelin, if indeed its Qliphothicramifications are susceptible of classification, once we follow it below the great andterrible Demonic Triads which are under the presidency of the Unutterable Name;5 thevast and comprehensive system shadowed in the Book called the Book of theConcourse of the Forces,6 interwoven as it is with the Tarot, being, indeed, on oneview little more than an amplification and practical application of the Book of Thoth.7But we hope that the present venture will attract scholars from all quarters, as whenthe wounded Satan leaned upon his spear,“ Forthwith on all sides to his aid was runBy angels many and strong,”and that in the course of time a far more satisfactory volume may result.Many columns will seem to the majority of people to consist of mere lists of senselesswords. Practice, and advance in the magical or mystical path, will enable little bylittle to interpret more and more.Even as a flower unfolds beneath the ardent kisses of the Sun, so will this table revealits glories to the dazzling eye of illumination. Symbolic and barren as it is, yet it shallstand for the athletic student as a perfect sacrament, so that reverently closing its pageshe shall exclaim, “May that of which we have partaken sustain us in the search for theQuintessence, the Stone of the Wise, the Summum Bonus, True Wisdom, and PerfectHappiness.So mote it be!iv
THE TREE OF LIFECOL. XII. This arrangement is the basis of the wholesystem of this book. Besides the 10 numbers and the22 letters, it is divisible into 3 columns, 4 planes, 7planes, 7 palaces, etc. etc.8v
