A.M.

After writing the above, said beginning of Pentagram and made the Star and Circle. Afterwards slept until seven.

8:05 - 25

ASANA, thunderbolt.

Shall do Dharana and Harpocrates at noon; head thick.

7:40 - 8:00

DHARANA, yellow square.

Another prolonged fight, mind refusing to be directed. One persistent intrusion being face (principally) and figure of Allan Bennett in an old-world street, with many people about. At about the same time came the consciousness that I willed this vision, saying ‘I shall see Allan Bennett’. I mean by this that the theatrical side of me saw drama in this and produced it.

Later came Paris, Blvd Raspail, Mrs. Eaton there, London and Bickie—this last occasioned, no doubt, by receipt of letter from Bickie this morning.

If dislike be necessary to progress, I must be making headway of sorts: I abominate these exercises.

P.M.

12:00 - 30

HARPOCRATES.

Dreadful things to be seen and without one grain of sympathy. The arrogant Ego should take note!.

7:58

Lying on bed thinking of Harpocrates vision, I saw myself finish climbing out of a dark chasm, the last bit of the ascent being the emerging from behind what seemed huge, repulsive bat wings. This chasm of rock. The way ahead, with slight incline toward horizon, was entirely over small rocks of the boulder type, all round, no sharp edges, and over this way streamed a white radiance. Toward the source of this radiance I moved without once looking back.

11:55

Spent the evening with Mr. Bush, whom I found entertaining. Yet am I so tired I shall retire without work.
