List
ye, O man, hear ye the wisdom. Hear ye the Word that shall fill
thee with Life. Hear ye the Word that shall banish the darkness.
Hear ye the voice that shall banish the night.
Mystery and wisdom have I brought to my children; knowledge and
power descended from old. Know ye not that all shall be opened
when ye shall find the oneness of all? One shall ye be with the
Masters of Mystery, Conquerors of Death and Masters of Life. Aye,
ye shall learn of the flower of Amenti the blossom of life that
shines in the Halls.
In Spirit shall ye reach that Halls of Amenti and bring back the
wisdom that liveth in Light. Know ye the gateway to power is secret.
Know ye the gateway to life is through death. Aye, through death
but not as ye know death, but a death that is life and is fire
and is Light.
Desireth thou to know the deep, hidden secret?
Look in thy heart where the knowledge is bound. Know that in thee
the secret is hidden, the source of all life and the source of
all death.
List ye, O man, while I tell the secret, reveal
unto thee the secret of old.
Deep in Earth’s heart lies the flower,
the source of the Spirit that binds all in its form. For know
ye that the Earth is living in body as thou art alive in thine
own formed form. The Flower of Life is as thine own place of Spirit
and streams through the Earth as thine flows through thy form;
giving of life to the Earth and its children, renewing the Spirit
from form unto form. This is the Spirit that is form of thy body,
shaping and moulding into its form.
Know ye, O man, that thy form is dual, balanced
in polarity while formed in its form. Know that when fast on thee
Death approaches, it is only because thy balance is shaken. It
is only because one pole has been lost.
Know that thy body when in perfect balance may
never be touched by the finger of Death. Aye, even accident may
only approach when the balance is gone. When ye are in a balanced
equilibrium, ye shall live on in time and not taste of Death.
Know that thou art the balanced completion, existing because of
thy balance of poles. As, in thee, one pole is drawn downward,
fast from thee goes the balance of life. Then unto thee cold Death
approaches, and change must come to thine unbalanced life.
Know that the secret of life in Amenti is the
secret of restoring the balance of poles. All that exists has
form and is living because of the Spirit of life in its poles.
See ye not that in Earth’s heart is the
balance of all things that exist and have being on its face? The
source of thy Spirit is drawn from Earth’s heart, for in
thy form thou are one with the Earth.
When thou hast learned to hold thine own balance,
then shalt thou draw on the balance of Earth. Exist then shalt
thou while Earth is existing, changing in form, only when Earth,
too, shalt change: Tasting not of death, but one with this planet,
holding thy form till all pass away.
List ye, O man, whilst I give the secret so that
ye, too, shalt taste not of change. One hour each day shalt thou
lie with thine head pointed to the place of the positive pole
(north). One hour each day shalt thy head be pointed to the place
of the negative pole (south). Whilst thy head is placed to the
northward, hold thou thy consciousness from the chest to the head.
And when thy head is placed southward, hold thou thy thought from
chest to the feet. Hold thou in balance once in each seven, and
thy balance will retain the whole of its strength. Aye, if thou
be old, thy body will freshen and thy strength will become as
a youth’s. This is the secret known to the Masters by which
they hold off the fingers of Death. Neglect not to follow the
path I have shown, for when thou hast passed beyond years to a
hundred to neglect it will mean the coming of Death.
Hear ye, my words, and follow the pathway. Keep
thou thy balance and live on in life.
Hear ye, O man, and list to my voice. List to
the wisdom that gives thee of Death. When at the end of thy work
appointed, thou may desire to pass from this life, pass to the
plane where the Suns of the Morning live and have being as Children
of Light. Pass without pain and pass without sorrow into the plane
where is eternal Light.
First lie at rest with thine head to the eastward.
Fold thou thy hands at the Source of thy life (solar plexus).
Place thou thy consciousness in the life seat. Whirl it and divide
to north and to south. Send thou the one out toward the northward.
Send thou the other out to the south. Relax thou thy hold upon
thy being. Forth from they form will thy silver spark fly, upward
and onward to the Sun of the morning, blending with Light, at
one with its source. There it shall flame till desire shall be
created. Then shall return to a place in a form. Know ye, O men,
that thus pass the great Souls, changing at will from life unto
life. Thus ever passes the Avatar, willing his Death as he wills
his own life.
List ye, O man, drink of my wisdom. Learn ye
the secret that is Master of Time. Learn ye how those ye call
Masters are able to remember the lives of the past. Great is the
secret yet easy to master, giving to thee the mastery of time.
When upon thee death fast approaches, fear not but know ye are
master of Death. Relax thy body, resist not with tension. Place
in thy heart the flame of thy Soul. Swiftly then sweep it to the
seat of the triangle. Hold for a moment, then move to the goal.
This, thy goal, is the place between thine eyebrows, the place
where the memory of life must hold sway. Hold thou thy flame here
in thy brain-seat until the fingers of Death grasp thy Soul. Then
as thou pass through the state of transition, surely the memories
of life shall pass, too. Then shalt the past be as one with the
present. Then shall the memory of all be retained. Free shalt
thou be from all retrogression. The things of the past shall live
in today.
Man, ye have heard the voice of my wisdom. Follow
and ye shall live through the ages as I.
