A.M.

Wakeful, more or less, waked at 5:45 and got up, and went out doors for a time.

6:20 - 40

ASANA.

That caved-in feeling of stomach. What causes it? Could do no work as I cannot breathe, though held posture. What is this suppression?

6:40 - 7:00

DHARANA, yellow sq.

A confused surge of thoughts.

Am I full of astral fumes? Head thick.

HARPOCRATES.

Invocation.

P.M.

3:07

A.C. back from Naples.

6:00

‘Iwant to be the greatest—that is genius’^[1]

Does this leave all channels free for the Divine influx necessary for the genius?

10:05

^[2]

Funny about my dream of Sept 24, that it should precede.

This evening I ask A.C. a simple question. For answer he smiles the same head-waiter smile at Lea [Leah Hirsig]. Not having any plates to smash and thus eliminate my irritation, I remain peeved.

10:20 - 40

ASANA.

Poor.

10:40 - 58

DHARANA, yellow sq.

Ditto.

HARPOCRATES.

Invocation.
