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.
