Oft
dream I of buried Atlantis, lost in the ages that have passed
into night. Aeon on aeon thou existed in beauty, a shining through
the darkness of night.
Mighty in power, ruling the earth-born, Lord of the Earth in Atlantis’
day. King of the nations, master of wisdom, Light through Suntal,
Keeper of the Way, dwelt in his Temple, the Master of Unal, Light
of the Earth in Atlantis’ day.
Master, He, from a cycle beyond us, living in
bodies as one among men. Not as the earth-born, He from beyond
us, Sun of a cycle, advanced beyond men.
Know ye, O man, that Horlet the Master, was never
one with the children of men. Far in the past time when Atlantis
first grew as a power, appeared there one with the Key of Wisdom,
showing the way of Light to all.
Showed he to all men the path of attainment,
way of the Light that flows among men. Mastering darkness, leading
the Man-Soul, upward to heights that were One with the Light.
Divided the Kingdoms, He into sections. Ten were
they, ruled by children of men. Upon another, built He a Temple,
built but not by the children of men.
Out of the Ether called He its substance, moulded
and formed by the power of Ytolan into the forms He built with
His mind. Mile upon mile it covered the island, space upon space
it grew in its might. Black, yet not black, but dark like the
space-time, deep in its heart the Essence of Light. Swiftly the
Temple grew into being, moulded an shaped by the Word of the Dweller,
called from the formless into a form.
Builded He then, within it, great chambers, filled
them from forms called forth from the Ether, filled them with
wisdom called forth by His mind.
Formless was He within his Temple, yet was He
formed in the image of man. Dwelling among them yet not of them,
strange and far different was He from the children of men.
Chose He then from among the people, Three who
became his gateway. Chose He the Three from the Highest to become
his links with Atlantis. Messengers they, who carried his councel,
to the kings of the children of men.
Brought He forth others and taught them wisdom;
teachers, they, to the children of men. Placed He them on the
island of Undal to stand as teachers of Light to men.
Each of those who were thus chosen, taught must
he be for years five and ten. Only thus could he have understanding
to being Light to the children of men. Thus there came into being
the Temple, a dwelling place for the Master of man.
I, Thoth, have ever sought wisdom, searching
in darkness and searching in Light. Long in my youth I traveled
the pathway, seeking ever new knowledge to gain. Until after much
striving, one of the Three, to me brought the Light. Brought He
to me the commands of the Dweller, called me from darkness into
the Light. Brought He me, before the Dweller, deep in the Temple
before the great Fire.
There on the great throne, beheld I, the Dweller,
clothed with the Light and flashing with fire. Down I knelt before
that great wisdom, feeling the Light flowing through me in waves.
Heard I then the voice of the Dweller: “O darkness, come
into the Light. Long have ye sought the pathway to the Light.
Each soul on earth that loosens its fetters shall soon be made
free from the bondage of night. Forth from the darkness have ye
arisen, closer approached the Light of your goal. Here ye shall
dwell as one of my children, keeper of records gathered by wisdom,
instrument thou of the Light from beyond. Ready be thou made to
do what is needed, perserver of wisdom though the ages of darkness
that shall come fast on the children of men. Live thee here and
drink of all wisdom. Secrets and mysteries unto thee shall unveil.”
Then answered I, the Master of Cycles, saying:
“O Light, that descended to men, give thou to me of thy
wisdom that I might be a teacher of men. Give thou of thy Light
that I may be free.”
Spoke then to me again, the Master: “Age
after age shall ye live through your wisdom. Aye, when o’er
Atlantis the ocean waves roll, holding the Light, though hidden
in darkness, ready to come when e’er thou shalt call. Go
thee now and learn greater wisdom. Grow thou through Light to
Infinity’s ALL.”
Long then dwelt I in the Temple of the Dweller
until at last I was One with the Light.
Followed I then the path to the star planes,
followed I then the pathway to Light. Deep into Earth’s
heart I followed the pathway, learning the secrets, below as above;
learning the pathway to the Halls of Amenti; learning the Law
that balances the world. To earth’s hidden chambers pierced
I by my wisdom, deep through the Earth’s crust, into the
pathway, hidden for ages from the children of men. Unveiled before
me, ever more wisdom until I reached a new knowledge: found that
all is part of an ALL, great and yet greater than all that we
know. Searched I Infinity’s heart through the ages. Deep
and yet deeper, more mysteries I found.
Now, as I look back through the ages, know I
that wisdom is boundless, ever grown greater throughout the ages,
One with Infinity’s greater than all.
Light there was in ancient Atlantis. Yes, darkness,
too, was hidden in all. Fell from the Light into the darkness,
some who had risen to heights among men. Proud they became because
of their knowledge, proud were they of their place among men.
Deep delved they into the forbidden, opened the gateway that led
to below. Sought they to gain ever more knowledge but seeking
to bring it up from below.
He who descends below must have balance, else
he is bound by lack of our Light. Opened, they then, by their
knowledge, pathways forbidden to man.
But, in His Temple, all-seeing, the Dweller,
lay in his Agwanti, which through Atlantis His soul roamed free.
Saw He the Atlanteans, by their magic, opening the gateway that
would bring to Earth a great woe. Fast fled His soul then, back
to His body. Up He arose from His Agwanti. Called He the Three
mighty messengers. Gave the commands that shattered the world.
Deep ‘neath Earth’s crust to the
Halls of Amenti, swiftly descended the Dweller. Called He then
on the powers of the Seven Lords wielded; changed the Earth’s
balance. Down sank Atlantis beneath the dark waves.
Shattered the gateway that had been opened; shattered
the doorway that led down below. All of the islands were shattered
except Unal, and part of the island of the sons of the Dweller.
Preserved He them to be the teachers, Lights on the path for those
to come after, Lights for the lesser children of man.
Called He then, I Thoth, before him, gave me
commands for all I should do, saying: “Take thou, O Thoth,
all of your wisdom. Take all your records. Take all your magic.
Go thou forth preserving the records until in time Light grows
among men. Light shalt thou be all through the ages, hidden yet
found by enlightened men. Over all Earth, give WE ye power, free
thou to give or take it away. Gather thou now the sons of Atlantis.
Take them and flee to the people of the rock caves. Fly to the
land of the Children of Khem.”
Then gathered I the sons of Atlantis. Into the
spaceship I brought all my records, brought the records of sunken
Atlantis. Gathered I all of my powers, instruments many of mighty
magic.
Up then we rose on wings of the morning. High
we arose above the Temple, leaving behind the three and Dweller,
deep in the Halls ‘neath the Temple. Down ‘neath the
waves sank the great Temple, closing the pathway to the Lords
of the Cycles. Yet ever to him who has knowing, open shall be
the path to Amenti.
Fast fled we then on the wings of the morning,
fled to the land of the children of Khem. There by my power, I
conquered and ruled them. Raised I to Light, the children of Khem.
Deep ‘neath the rocks, I buried my spaceship,
waiting the time when man might be free. Over the spaceship, erected
a marker in the form of a lion yet like unto man. There ‘neath
the image rests yet my spaceship, forth to be brought when need
shall arise.
Know ye, O man, that far in the future invaders
shall come from out of the deep. Then awake, ye who have wisdom.
Bring forth my ship and conquer with ease.
Deep ‘neath the image lies my secret. Search and find in
the pyramid I built. Each to the other is the Keystone; each the
gateway that leads into Life. Follow the Key I leave behind me.
Seek and the doorway to Life shall be thine. Seek thou in my pyramid,
deep in the passage that ends in a wall. Use thou the Key of the
Seven, and open to thee the pathway will fall.
Now unto thee I have given my wisdom. Now unto
thee I have given my way. Follow the pathway. Solve thou my secrets.
Unto thee I have shown the way.
