Aleister Crowley Diary Entry Friday, 2 August 1901
Buddha. 8 m[inutes]. It seems very difficult nowadays to settle down.
Red Cross. 8 m[inutes]. Ten breaks.
Nirvana.[1] 13 m[inutes]. Not bad.
I tried to put (astrally) a fly on a man's nose. It seemed to disturb him much: but he did not try to brush it off.
Tried the same with Chinaman, great success.
Tried to make a Chinaman look round, instant success.
Tried the same with an European, but failed.
1—Invoked angel of Nirvana as H.P.K. [Hoor-Paa-Kraat] on lotus. Note P.’s complete ignorance of Buddhism at this date.
