THE MOUNTAINEER
Consciousness is a symptom of
disease.
All that moves well moves without will.
All skillfulness, all
strain, all intention is contrary to
ease.
Practise a thousand times, and
it becomes difficult;
a thousand thousand, and it becomes easy; a
thousand thousand times a thousand thousand,
and it is no longer Thou
that doeth it, but It that
doeth itself through thee. Not until then is
that
which is done well done.
Thus spoke FRATER PERDURABO as he
leapt
from rock to rock of the moraine without ever
casting his eyes upon
the ground.

COMMENTARY ({Lambda-Beta})
This title is a
mere reference to the metaphor of the
last paragraph of the
chapter.
Frater P., as is well known, is a mountaineer.
This chapter
should be read in conjunction with
Chapters 8 and 30.
It is a practical
instruction, the gist of which is
easily to be apprehended by comparatively
short practice
of Mantra-Yoga.
A mantra is not being properly said as long
as the
man knows he is saying it. The same applies to all other
forms of
Magick.
