Charles Stansfeld Jones Diary Entry Friday, 8 August 1913
Note. I begin to feel the fuller life again. These few pages of Edward Carpenter have acted like a draught of living water and revived me a great deal. I feel a secret Joy tonight. The unaccountable inner Joy which transforms everything and frees the soul from its shackles. All seems so good to-night, this simple life, the tent by the sea, the night air, the happy tired feeling after the day’s work, the presence of my two dear ones, and all the dear ones of which I am a part, the presence of Adonai within and without. It is good to have lived for this.
(This is dreadful! You must not mistake “feeling good” for a mystic state.—O.M. [Comment by Crowley])
