THE HEART OF THE MASTER
By Khaled Khan (Aleister Crowley)
I.
THE VISION
Penumbra.
I am one of a concourse. All, or nigh all, seem fallen into
heaviness, not from exhaustion of labour, but from lethargy. The
plain is vast beyond eye to mark it's bounds, even were not all
dark with blight of fog and thick with marish damp. A few of us
are half awake, gaze dumbly on the East. No light responds.
Alas for me who am too much alive with the horrible and
hopeless ache for sleep of one half-drugged! Dazed, stupified - I
know not who I am - I know not whence I came - I know not whither
I go. Vaguely I say within my dull heart: I must not sleep

because I am a soldier. But of what captain, in what war? I
cannot guess. There is but a dim shape as of some disaster long,
oh! very long ago - the dusty memory of some leader who failed,
some plan that broke its spine - I am sure of this: that all
discipline is done, all courage quashed, all purpose perished.
Behind me - strange! - the gloom is less obscure than in the
East to which the eyes yearn feebly. Do I feel it by instinct -
the form of a vast pyramidal hill of stark black rock? I am too
weary to turn my head to look.
All of a sudden, far behind me, far beyond that crest, if it
be one, rings out a voice, clear, firm, courageous, confident. It
is a soldier's voice, the accent of command, the valour of
manhood. None can mistake - I am assured - that ringing
call. Truth, Victory, in each trumpet tone: Listen!
VOX.
The captain cries: "Behold, the Star in the West!" Instant
on that comes silence. But among us the sudden stirring warns me
that not all were sleeping; that there were watchers like myself,
men more intent than I.
I hear a murmur on my left. I catch three words: "The Zero
Hour." They call me back to myself: I know now that I am one of a
great army - an army baffled and broken, but yet in being.
Sharp comes a whisper of swift absolute authority: "Zero is
Two."
Somehow I am aware - like a man stricken of lightning, in
the same moment slain and initiated - that the strange phrase
declares a final Mystery of Truth, the Word of the Plan of
Battle, the Key of the Campaign. But in my mind its meaning is
most utter darkness.
Again the solemn stillness. Few were they who had heard the
voice of the young captain: for the sleep of all but the youngest
and strongest was the sleep of death. Even of these the fate was
ill indeed; for their minds had been distraught by the bitterness
of their hearts. So, when they noted the Voice, they mocked. I
heard:
"A Star in the West. What folly!"
or:
"That is no voice of any leader of ours."
or:
"Star in the West? Beware: that is the Star called
Wormwood."
Then, presently, from the blind land behind the mountain,
comes one heavy groan, then the sound of a fall, made vile by a
titter of malignant tinkling laughter.
