List
ye, O Man, to the deep hidden wisdom, lost to the world since
the time of the Dwellers, lost and forgotten by men of this age.
Know ye this Earth is but a portal, guarded by powers unknown
to man. Yet, the Dark Lords hide the entrance that leads to the
Heaven-born land. Know ye, the way to the sphere of Arulu is guarded
by barriers opened only to Light-born man.
Upon Earth, I am the holder of the keys to the
gates of the Sacred Land. Command I, by the powers beyond me,
to leave the keys to the world of man. Before I depart, I give
ye the Secrets of how ye may rise from the bondage of darkness,
cast off the fetters of flesh that have bound ye, rise from the
darkness into the Light. Know ye, the soul must be cleansed of
its darkness, ere ye may enter the portals of Light. Thus, I established
among ye the Mysteries so that the Secrets may always be found.
Aye, though man may fall into darkness, always the Light will
shine as a guide. Hidden in darkness, veiled in symbols, always
the way to the portal will be found. Man in the future will deny
the mysteries but always the way the seeker will find.
Now I command ye to maintain my secrets, giving
only to those ye have tested, so that the pure may not be corrupted,
so that the power of Truth may prevail. List ye now to the unveiling
of Mystery. List to the symbols of Mystery I give. Make of it
a religion for only thus will its essence remain.
Regions there are two between this life and the
Great One, traveled by the Souls who depart from this Earth; Duat,
the home of the powers of illusion; Sekhet Hetspet, the House
of the Gods. Osiris, the symbol of the guard of the portal, who
turns back the souls of unworthy men. Beyond lies the sphere of
the heaven-born powers, Arulu, the land where the Great Ones have
passed. There, when my work among men has been finished, will
I join the Great Ones of my Ancient home.
Seven are the mansions of the house of the Mighty;
Three guards the portal of each house from the darkness; Fifteen
the ways that lead to Duat. Twelve are the houses of the Lords
of Illusion, facing four ways, each of them different. Forty and
Two are the great powers, judging the Dead who seek for the portal.
Four are the Sons of Horus, Two are the Guards of East and West—Isis,
the mother who pleads for her children, Queen of the moon, reflecting
the Sun. Ba is the essence, living forever. Ka is the Shadow that
man knows as life. Ba cometh not until Ka is incarnate. These
are mysteries to preserve through the ages. Keys are they of life
and of Death. Hear ye now the mystery of mysteries: learn of the
circle beginningless and endless, the form of He who is One and
in all. Listen and hear it, go forth and apply it, thus will ye
travel the way that I go. Mystery in Mystery, yet clear to the
Light-born, the Secret of all I now will reveal. I will declare
a secret to the initiated, but let the door be wholly shut against
the profane.
Three is the mystery, come from the great one.
Hear, and Light on thee will dawn.
In the primeval, dwell three unities. Other than
these, none can exist. These are the equilibrium, source of creation:
one God, one Truth, one point of freedom.
Three come forth from the three of the balance:
all life, all good, all power.
Three are the qualities of God in his Light-home:
Infinite power, Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Love.
Three are the powers given to the Masters:
To transmute evil, assist good, use discrimination.
Three are the things inevitable for God to perform:
Manifest power, wisdom and love.
Three are the powers creating all things:
Divine Love possessed of perfect knowledge, Divine Wisdom knowing
all possible means, Divine Power possessed by the joint will of
Divine Love and Wisdom.
Three are the circles (states) of existence:
The circle of Light where dwells nothing but God, and only God
can traverse it; the circle of Chaos where all things by nature
arise from death; the Circle of awareness where all things spring
from life.
All things animate are of three states of existence:
chaos or death, liberty in humanity and felicity of Heaven.
Three necessities control all things:
beginning in the Great Deep, the circle of chaos, plenitude in
Heaven.
Three are the paths of the Soul:
Man, Liberty, Light.
Three are the hindrances:
lack of endeavor to obtain knowledge; non-attachment to god; attachment
to evil. In man, the three are manifest. Three are the Kings of
power within. Three are the chambers of the mysteries, found yet
not found in the body of man.
Hear ye now of he who is liberated, freed from
the bondage of life into Light. Knowing the source of all worlds
shall be open. Aye, even the Gates of Arulu shall not be barred.
Yet heed, O man, who wouldst enter heaven. If ye be not worthy,
better it be to fall into the fire. Know ye the celestials pass
through the pure flame. At every revolution of the heavens, they
bathe in the fountains of Light.
List ye, O man, to this mystery: Long in the
past before ye were man-born, I dwelled in Ancient Atlantis. There
in the Temple, I drank of the Wisdom, poured as a fountain of
Light from the Dweller. Give the key to ascend to the Presence
of Light in the Great world. Stood I before the Holy One enthroned
in the flower of fire. Veiled was he by the lightnings of darkness,
else my Soul by the Glory have been shattered.
Forth from the feet of his Throne like the diamond,
rolled forth four rivers of flame from his footstool, rolled through
the channels of clouds to the Man-world. Filled was the hall with
Spirits of Heaven. Wonder of wonders was the Starry palace. Above
the sky, like a rainbow of Fire and Sunlight, were formed the
spirits. Sang they the glories of the Holy One. Then from the
midst of the Fire came a voice: “Behold the Glory of the
first Cause.” I beheld that Light, high above all darkness,
reflected in my own being. I attained, as it were, to the God
of all Gods, the Spirit-Sun, the Sovereign of the Sun spheres.
Again came the Voice: “There is one, even
the First, who hath no beginning, who hath no end; who hath made
all things, who govern all, who is good, who is just, who illumines,
who sustains.”
Then from the throne, there poured a great radiance,
surrounding and lifting my soul by its power. Swiftly I moved
through the spaces of Heaven, shown was I the mystery of mysteries,
shown the Secret heart of the cosmos. Carried was I to the land
of Arulu, stood before the Lords in their Houses. Opened they
the Doorway so I might glimpse the primeval chaos. Shuddered my
soul to the vision of horror, shrank back my soul from the ocean
of darkness. Then saw I the need for the barriers, saw the need
for the Lords of Arulu. Only they with their Infinite balance
could stand in the way of the inpouring chaos. Only they could
guard God’s creation.
Then did I pass ‘round the circle of eight.
Saw all the souls who had conquered the darkness. Saw the splendor
of Light where they dwelled.
Longed I to take my place in their circle, but
longed I also for the way I had chosen, when I stood in the Halls
of Amenti and made my choice to the work I would do.
Passed I from the Halls of Arulu down to the
earth space where my body lay. Arose I from the earth where I
rested. Stood I before the Dweller. Gave my pledge to renounce
my Great right until my work on Earth was completed, until the
Age of darkness be past.
List ye, O man, to the words I shall give ye.
In them shall ye find the Essence of Life. Before I return to
the Halls of Amenti, taught shall ye be the Secrets of Secrets,
how ye, too, may arise to the Light. Preserve them and guard them,
hide them in symbols, so the profane will laugh and renounce.
In every land, form ye the mysteries. Make the way hard for the
seeker to tread. Thus will the weak and the wavering be rejected.
Thus will the secrets be hidden and guarded, held till the time
when the wheel shall be turned. Through the dark ages, waiting
and watching, my Spirit shall remain in the deep hidden land.
When one has passed all the trials of the outer, summon ye me
by the Key that ye hold. Then will I, the Initiator, answer, come
from the Halls of the Gods in Amenti. Then will I receive the
initiate, give him the words of power.
Hark ye, remember, these words of warning: bring
not to me one lacking in wisdom, impure in heart or weak in his
purpose. Else I will withdraw from ye your power to summon me
from the place of my sleeping.
Go forth and conquer the element of darkness.
Exalt in thy nature thine essence of Light.
Now go ye forth and summon thy brothers so that
I may impart the wisdom to light thy path when my presence is
gone. Come to the chamber beneath my temple. Eat not food until
three days are past. There will I give thee the essence of wisdom
so that with power ye may shine amongst men. There will I give
unto thee the secrets so that ye, to , may rise to the Heavens—God-men
in Truth as in essence ye be. Depart now and leave me while I
summon those ye know of but as yet know not.
