  1. “The fact is that very few of us know what words mean; fewer still take the trouble to enquire. We calmly, we carelessly assume that our minds are identical with that of the writer, at least on that point; and then we wonder that there should be misunderstandings! The fact is (again!) that usually we don’t really want to know; it is so very much easier to drift down the river of discourse, ‘lazily, lazily, drowsily, drowsily, In the noonday sun.'” library.hrmtc.com/2026/05/14/t #aleisterCrowley #assume #book #calmly #carelessly #discourse #donTReallyWant #downTheRiver #drift #drowsily #enquire #fact #fewerStill #identicalWithThat #know #lazily #magickWithoutTears #misunderstandings #noondaySun #ourMinds #quote #soVeryMuchEasier #takeTheTrouble #toKnow #veryFewOfUs #whatWordsMean #wonder #writer
  2. “I certainly have no intention of ‘holding you down’ to ‘a narrow path of work’ or any path. All I can do is to help you to understand clearly the laws of your own nature, so that you may go ahead without extraneous influence. It does not follow that a plan that I have found successful in my own case will be any use to you. That is another cardinal mistake of most teachers. One must have become a Master of the Temple to annihilate one’s ego. Most teachers, consciously or unconsciously, try to get others to follow in their steps. I might as well dress you up in my castoff clothing!”

  3. “Again with drugs, it is the unknown which is the horrific factor. Most people get their information on the subject from the yellowest of yellow newspapers, magazines and novels. So darkly deep is their ignorance that that do not know what the word means—like us so often, yes?”

  4. “Now of course very few religious persons know that they are mystics—already it annoys them to suggest it!—but, whether the lady doth protest too much, or too little, the fact is that they are. There is no true rational meaning in religion.”

  5. “All sanity, which is all Science, is founded upon Limit. We must be able to cut off, to define, to measure. Naturally, then, their opposites, Insanity and Religion, have for their prime characteristic, the Indefinable, Incomprehensible, Immeasurable.”
