A Sorcerer by the power of his magick had subdued all things to himself.
Would he travel? He could fly through space more swiftly than the stars.
Would he eat, drink, and take his pleasure? There was none that did not instantly obey his bidding.
In the whole system of ten million times ten million spheres upon the two and twenty million planes he had his desire.
And with all this he was but himself.
Alas!
COMMENTARY (ΚΖ)
This chapter gives the reverse of the medal; it is the contrast to Chapter 15.
The Sorcerer is to be identified with The Brother of the Left Hand Path.
