Aleister Crowley Memorandum re Mr. John Bland Jameson Thursday, 2 February 1939
See HERE for Full Memorandum (12 May 1938 - 7 February 1939)
Mr Jameson had carried out the prescribed practices at first with proper accuracy; it is essential, in this particular course of training, to be punctual and accurate. It is a test of the Will of the Candidate that he should arrange all his affairs in such a way that nothing interferes with his performing the practices at the proper moment, as in the case of a business employee who is made to punch a time clock or be fined, and in case of repeated misdemeanours, eventually dismissed. I say this in order to emphasize that the practices prescribed were of a morally tonic nature.
On Wednesday evening Mr Jameson had told me, apparently as an excuse for having gone off on the loose with his tenth-rate theatrical crowd, that he would write me a note. On Thursday he handed me the note aforesaid, a copy of which is appended.
