Jane Wolfe Diary Entry Tuesday, 1 March 1955
In L.A., the house guest of Hugh [Hugh Christopher] and Barbara Christopher—walking up and down the room, waiting for Paul, I was confronted with the thought: "No one can put me across the Abyss. I must be the doer. It is my responsibility, my task!" (You may recall that in the former letter I quoted Schlag [Oscar Schlag] thus: "You have crossed the Abyss. I helped you." So I was hasty.) So I wrote down the statement: "I shall accept every phenomenon whatsoever as a personal dealing of God with my Soul. So Mote it Be!" I felt at the time Schlag forced this Oath upon me.
I do not know, of course, whether this Oath applies to Women; for Women the Mystic (?) goes up the Middle Pillar. But as I see it an Oath must not be taken, to maintain sovereignty.
