It is all messed up with Achad [Charles Stansfeld Jones] nonsense yet. It is true that any lunatic may be a God, but that is no reason to argue that all Gods must be lunatics.
K [Kasimira Bass] is that same cauliflower Ego which destroyed Achad.
If you are going to have anything to do with me, you have to wash your mind clean of all this rubbish. You have to make a clean break with the past—don't even allow yourself to think of it! Don't think of yourself and your relations with me or anyone else. Start an entirely new habit of life. Ingratiate yourself with some people of importance. Put over the Law of Thelema as a spiritual, social, and political movement. Get men interested in its economic advantages first of all—and so on.
Cut out all this Leota [Leota Schneider] stuff: you have work to do, and no time for wireless fornication.
Forget about the Marks of a Buddha!
What we want is a G.H.Q. [Great Headquarters]—a loan of 10,000 dollars secured on mortgage and the stock of books.
And then, more like 100,000 dollars, a Temple of the Spirit of the Living God. The money's right under your nose, and you need only to get in with the right people to have it handed to you on a tray.
