| List ye, O man, to the voice of wisdom, | |
| list to the voice of THOTH, the Atlantean. | |
| Freely I give to thee of my wisdom, | |
| gathered from the time and space of this cycle; | |
| master of mysteries, SUN of the morning, | |
| living forever, a child of the LIGHT, | |
| shining with brightness, star of the morning, | |
| THOTH the teacher of men, is of ALL. | |
| Long time ago, I in my childhood, | |
| lay 'neath the stars on long-buried ATLANTIS, | |
| dreaming of mysteries far above men. | |
| Then in my heart grew there a great longing to | |
| conquer the pathway that led to the stars. | |
| Year after year, I sought after wisdom, | |
| seeking new knowledge, following the way, | |
| until at last my SOUL, in great travail, | |
| broke from its bondage and bounded away. | |
| Free was I from the bondage of earth-men. | |
| Free from the body, I flashed through the night. | |
| Unlocked at last for me was the star-space. | |
| Free was I from the bondage of night. | |
| Now to the end of space sought I wisdom, | |
| far beyond knowledge of finite man. | |
| Far into space, my SOUL traveled freely | |
| into infinity's circle of light. | |
| Strange, beyond knowledge, were some of the planets, | |
| great and gigantic, beyond dreams of men. | |
| Yet found I Law, in all of its beauty, working | |
| through and among them as here among men. | |
| Flashed forth my soul through infinity's beauty, | |
| far through space | |
| I flew with my thoughts. | |
| Rested I there on a planet of beauty. | |
| Strains of harmony filled all the air. | |
| Shapes there were, moving in Order, | |
| great and majestic as stars in the night; | |
| mounting in harmony, ordered equilibrium, | |
| symbols of the Cosmic, like unto Law. | |
| Many the stars I passed in my journey, | |
| many the races of men on their worlds; | |
| some reaching high as stars of the morning, | |
| some falling low in the blackness of night. | |
| Each and all of them struggling upward, | |
| gaining the heights and plumbing the depths, | |
| moving at times in realms of brightness, | |
| living through darkness, gaining the Light. | |
| Know, O man, that Light is thine heritage. | |
| Know that darkness is only a veil. | |
| Sealed in thine heart is brightness eternal, | |
| waiting the moment of freedom to conquer, | |
| waiting to rend the veil of the night. | |
| Some I found who had conquered the ether. | |
| Free of space were they while yet they were men. | |
| Using the force that is the foundation of ALL things, | |
| far in space constructed they a planet, | |
| drawn by the force that flows through the ALL; | |
| condensing, coalescing the ether into forms, | |
| that grew as they willed. | |
| Outstripping in science, they, all of the races, | |
| mighty in wisdom, sons of the stars. | |
| Long time I paused, watching their wisdom. | |
| Saw them create from out of the ether cities | |
| gigantic of rose and gold. | |
| Formed forth from the primal element, | |
| base of all matter, the ether far flung. | |
| Far in the past, they had conquered the ether, | |
| freed themselves from the bondage of toil; | |
| formed in their mind only a picture and swiftly | |
| created, it grew. | |
| Forth then, my soul sped, throughout the Cosmos, | |
| seeing ever, new things and old; | |
| learning that man is truly space-born, | |
| a Sun of the Sun, | |
| a child of the stars. | |
| Know ye, O man, whatever from ye inhabit, | |
| surely it is one with the stars. | |
| Thy bodies are nothing but planets revolving | |
| around their central suns. | |
| When ye have gained the light of all wisdom, | |
| free shall ye be to shine in the ether -- | |
| one of the Suns that light outer darkness -- | |
| one of the space-born grown into Light. | |
| Just as the stars in time lose their brilliance, | |
| light passing from them in to the great source, | |
| so, O man, the soul passes onward, | |
| leaving behind the darkness of night. | |
| Formed forth ye, from the primal ether, | |
| filled with the brilliance that | |
| flows from the source, | |
| bound by the ether coalesced around, | |
| yet ever it flames until at last it is free. | |
| Lift up your flame from out of the darkness, | |
| fly from the night and ye shall be free. | |
| Traveled I through the space-time, | |
| knowing my soul at last was set free, | |
| knowing that now might I pursue wisdom. | |
| Until at last, I passed to a plane, | |
| hidden from knowledge, | |
| known not to wisdom, | |
| extension beyond all that we know. | |
| Now, O man, when I had this knowing, | |
| happy my soul grew, | |
| for now I was free. | |
| Listen, ye space-born, | |
| list to my wisdom: | |
| know ye not that ye, too, will be free. | |
| List ye again, O man, to my wisdom, | |
| that hearing, ye too, might live and be free. | |
| Not of the earth are ye -- earthy, | |
| but child of the Infinite Cosmic Light. | |
| Know ye not, O man, of your heritage? | |
| Know ye not ye are truly the Light? | |
| Sun of the Great Sun, when ye gain wisdom, | |
| truly aware of your kinship with Light. | |
| Now, to ye, I give knowledge, | |
| freedom to walk in the path I have trod, | |
| showing ye truly how by my striving, | |
| I trod the path that leads to the stars. | |
| Hark ye, O man, and know of thy bondage, | |
| know how to free thyself from the toils. | |
| Out of the darkness shall ye rise upward, | |
| one with the Light and one with the stars. | |
| Follow ye ever the path of wisdom. | |
| Only by this can ye rise from below. | |
| Ever man's destiny leads him onward | |
| into the Curves of Infinity's ALL. | |
| Know ye, O man, that all space is ordered. | |
| Only by Order are ye One with the ALL. | |
| Order and Balance are the Law of the Cosmos. | |
| Follow and ye shall be One with the ALL. | |
| He who would follow the pathway of wisdom, | |
| open must be he to the flower of life, | |
| extending his consciousness out of the darkness, | |
| flowing through time and space in the ALL. | |
| Deep in the silence, | |
| first ye must linger until at last ye | |
| are free from desire, | |
| free from the longing to speak in the silence. | |
| Conquer by silence, the bondage of words. | |
| Abstaining from eating until we have conquered | |
| desire for food, that is bondage of soul. | |
| Then lie ye down in the darkness. | |
| Close ye your eyes from the rays of the Light. | |
| Centre thy soul-force in the place of thine consciousness, | |
| shaking it free from the bonds of the night. | |
| Place in thy mind-place the image thou desireth. | |
| Picture the place thou desireth to see. | |
| Vibrate back and forth with thy power. | |
| Loosen the soul from out of its night. | |
| Fiercely must thou shake with all of thy power | |
| until at last thy soul shall be free. | |
| Mighty beyond words is the flame of the Cosmic, | |
| hanging in planes, unknown to man; | |
| mighty and balanced, moving in Order, | |
| music of harmonies, far beyond man. | |
| Speaking with music, singing with color, | |
| flame from the beginning of Eternity's ALL. | |
| Spark of the flame art thou, O my children, | |
| burning with color and living with music. | |
| List to the voice and thou shalt be free. | |
| Consciousness free is fused with the Cosmic, | |
| One with the Order and Law of the ALL. | |
| Knew ye not man, that out of the darkness, | |
| Light shall flame forth, a symbol of ALL. | |
| Pray ye this prayer for attaining of wisdom. | |
| Pray for the coming of Light to the ALL. | |
| Mighty SPIRIT of LIGHT that shines through the | |
| Cosmos, draw my flame closer in harmony to thee. | |
| Lift up my fire from out of the darkness, | |
| magnet of fire that is One with the ALL. | |
| Lift up my soul, thou mighty and potent. | |
| Child of the Light, turn not away. | |
| Draw me in power to melt in thy furnace; | |
| One with all things and all things | |
| in One, fire of the life-strain and | |
| One with the Brain. | |
| When ye have freed thy soul from its bondage, | |
| know that for ye the darkness is gone. | |
| Ever through space ye may seek wisdom, | |
| bound not be fetters forged in the flesh. | |
| Onward and upward into the morning, free flash, | |
| O Soul, to the realms of Light. Move thou in Order, | |
| move thou in Harmony, freely shalt move | |
| with the Children of Light. | |
| Seek ye and know ye, my KEY of Wisdom. | |
| Thus, O man, ye shall surely be free. |
