List
ye, O man, to the words of my wisdom, list to the voice of Thoth,
the Atlantean. Conquered have I the Law of time-space. Knowledge
have I gained of the future of time. Know I that man in his movement
through space-time shall ever be One with the All.
Know ye, O man, that all of the future is an open book to him
who can read. All effect shall bring forth its causes as all effects
grew from the first cause. Know ye the future is not fixed or
stable but varies as cause brings forth an effect. Look in the
cause thou shalt bring into being, and surely thou shalt see that
all is effect.
So, O man, be sure the effects that ye bring
forth are ever causes of more perfect effects. Know ye the future
is never in fixation but follows man’s free will as it moves
through the movements of time-space toward the goal where a new
time begins. Man can only read the future through the causes that
bring the effects. Seek ye within the causation and surely ye
shall find the effects.
List ye, O man, while I speak of the future,
speak of the effect that follows the cause. Know ye that man in
his journey light-ward is ever seeking escape from the night that
surrounds him, like the shadows that surround the stars in the
sky and like the stars in the sky-space, he, too, shall shine
from the shadows of night.
Ever his destiny shall lead him onward until
he is One with the Light. Aye, though his way lies midst the shadows,
ever before him glows the Great Light. Dark though the way be
yet shall he conquer the shadows that flow around him like night.
Far in the future, I see man as Light-born, free
from the darkness that fetters the Soul, living in Light without
the bounds of the darkness to cover the Light that is Light of
their Soul. Know ye, O man, before ye attain this that many the
dark shadows shall fall on your Light striving to quench with
the shadows of darkness the Light of the Soul that strives to
be free.
Great is the struggle between Light and darkness,
age old and yet ever new. Yet, know in a time, far in the future,
Light shall be All and darkness shall fall.
List ye, O man, to my words of wisdom. Prepare
and ye shall not bind your Light. Man has risen and man has fallen
as ever new waves of consciousness flow from the great abyss below
us toward the Sun of their goal.
Ye, my children, have risen from a state that
was little above the beast, until now of all men ye are greatest.
Yet before thee were others greater than thee. Yet tell I thee
as before thee others have fallen, so also shall ye come to an
end. And upon the land where ye dwell now, barbarians shall dwell
and in turn rise to Light. Forgotten shall be the ancient-wisdom,
yet ever shall live though hidden from men.
Aye, in the land thou callest Khem, races shall
rise and races shall fall. Forgotten shalt thou be of the children
of men. Yet thou shalt have moved to a star-space beyond this
leaving behind this place where thou has dwelt.
The Soul of man moves ever onward, bound not
by any one star. But ever moving to the great goal before him
where he is dissolved in the Light of the All. Know ye that ye
shall ever go onward, moved by the Law of cause and effect until
in the end both become One.
Aye, man, after ye have gone, others shall move
in the places ye lived. Knowledge and wisdom shall all be forgotten,
and only a memory of Gods shall survive. As I to thee am a God
by my knowledge, so ye, too shall be Gods of the future because
of your knowledge far above theirs. Yet know ye that all through
the ages, man shall have access to Law when he will.
Ages to come shall see revival of wisdom to those
who shall inherit thy place on this star. They shall, in turn,
come into wisdom and learn to banish the darkness by Light. Yet
greatly must they strive through the ages to bring unto themselves
the freedom of Light. Then shall there come unto man the great
warfare that shall make the Earth tremble and shake in its course.
Aye, then shall the Dark Brothers open the warfare between Light
and the night.
When man again shall conquer the ocean and fly
in the air on wings like the birds; when he has learned to harness
the lightning, then shall the time of warfare begin. Great shall
the battle be twixt the forces, great the warfare of darkness
and Light. Nation shall rise against nation using the dark forces
to shatter the Earth. Weapons of force shall wipe out the Earth-man
until half of the races of men shall be gone. Then shall come
forth the Sons of the Morning and give their edict to the children
of men, saying: “O men, cease from thy striving against
thy brother. Only thus can ye come to the Light. Cease from thy
unbelief, O my brother, and follow the path and know ye are right.”
Then shall men cease from their striving, brother
against brother and father against son. Then shall the ancient
home of my people rise from its place ‘neath the dark ocean
waves. Then shall the Age of Light be unfolded with all men seeking
the Light of the goal. Then shall the Brothers of Light rule the
people. Banished shall be the darkness of night.
Aye, the children of men shall progress onward
and upward to the great goal. Children of Light shall they become.
Flame of the flame shall their Souls ever be. Knowledge and wisdom
shall be man’s in the great age for he shall approach the
eternal flame, the Source of all wisdom, the place of beginning,
that is yet One with the end of all things. Aye, in a time that
is yet unborn, all shall be One and One shall be All. Man, a perfect
flame of this Cosmos, shall move forward to a place in the stars.
Aye, shall move even from out of this space-time into another
beyond the stars.
Long have ye listened to me, O my children, long
have ye listened to the wisdom of Thoth. Now I depart from ye
into darkness. Now go I to the Halls of Amenti, there to dwell
in the future when Light shall come again to man. Yet, know ye,
my Spirit shall ever be with thee, guiding thy feet in the pathway
of Light.
Guard ye the secrets I leave with thee, and surely
my spirit will guard thee through life. Keep thine eyes ever on
the pathway to wisdom. Keep the Light as thy goal evermore. Fetter
not thy Soul in bondage of darkness; free let it wing in its flight
to the stars.
Now I depart thee to dwell in Amenti. Be thou
my children in this life and the next. The time will come when
ye, too, shall be deathless, living from age to age a Light among
men.
Guard ye the entrance to the Halls of Amenti.
Guard ye the secrets I have hidden among ye. Let not the wisdom
be cast to barbarians. Secret shall thou keep it for those who
seek Light. Now depart I. Receive thou my blessing. Take thou
my way and follow the Light.
Blend
thou thy Soul in the Great Essence. One, with the Great Light
let thy consciousness be. Call thou on me when thou dost need
me. Use my name three times in a row:
Chequetet, Arelich, Volmalites.
