Aleister Crowley Diary Entry

Saturday, 20 October 1906

 

 

To Mistley.

     

About samadhi I told D.D.S. [George Cecil Jones] who thinks Hashish had nothing to do with the samadhi, though possibly useful as a starter. I feel as if something were going to happen.

     

—Just as I began to enflame myself in praying, a thing snapped in my brain, jarring it, as if a bowstring, 1/4 drawn, slipped from the fingers. Sense of physical relief—a "clearing" of the brain—and also of occult discharge. I couldn't get back and soon slept.
