|
List ye, O man, hear ye my voice, |
|
teaching of Wisdom and Light in this cycle; |
|
teaching ye how to banish the darkness, |
|
teaching ye how to bring Light in thy life. |
|
|
|
Seek ye, O man, to find the great pathway |
|
that leads to eternal LIFE as a SUN. |
|
Draw ye away from the veil of the darkness. |
|
Seek to become a Light in the world. |
|
Make of thyself a vessel for Light, |
|
a focus for the Sun of this space. |
|
|
|
Lift thou thine eyes to the Cosmos. |
|
Lift thou thine eyes to the Light. |
|
Speak in the words of the Dweller, |
|
the chant that calls down the Light. |
|
Sing thou the song of freedom. |
|
Sing thou the song of the Soul. |
|
Create the high vibration |
|
that will make thee One with the Whole. |
|
Blend all thyself with the Cosmos. |
|
Grow into ONE with the Light. |
|
Be thou a channel of order, |
|
a pathway of LAW to the world. |
|
|
|
Thy LIGHT, O man, is the great LIGHT, |
|
shining through the shadow of flesh. |
|
Free must thou rise from the darkness |
|
before thou art One with the LIGHT. |
|
|
|
Shadows of darkness surround thee. |
|
Life fills thee with its flow. |
|
But know, O man, thou must arise |
|
and forth thy body go |
|
far to the planes that surround thee |
|
and yet are One with thee, too. |
|
|
|
Look all around thee, O man. |
|
See thine own light reflected. |
|
Aye, even in the darkness around thee, |
|
thine own Light pours forth through the veil. |
|
|
|
Seek thou for wisdom always. |
|
Let not thine body betray. |
|
Keep in the path of the Light wave. |
|
Shun thou the darkened way. |
|
Know thee that wisdom is lasting. |
|
Existing since the ALL-SOUL began, |
|
creating harmony from by the |
|
Law that exists in the WAY. |
|
|
|
List ye, o man, to the teachings of wisdom. |
|
List to the voice that speaks of the past-time. |
|
Aye, I shall tell thee knowledge forgotten, |
|
tell ye of wisdom hidden in past-time, |
|
lost in the midst of darkness around me. |
|
|
|
Know ye, man, |
|
ye are the ultimate of all things. |
|
Only the knowledge of this is forgotten, |
|
lost when man was cast into bondage, |
|
bound and fettered |
|
by the chains of the darkness. |
|
|
|
Long, long ago, I cast off my body. |
|
Wandered I free |
|
through the vastness of ether, |
|
circled the angles |
|
that hold man in bondage. |
|
Know ye, O man, ye are only a spirit. |
|
The body is nothing. |
|
The Soul is ALL. |
|
Let not your body be a fetter. |
|
Cast off the darkness and travel in Light. |
|
Cast off your body, O man, and be free, |
|
truly a Light that is ONE with the Light. |
|
|
|
When ye are free from the fetters of darkness |
|
and travel in space as the SUN of the LIGHT, |
|
then ye shall know that space in not boundless |
|
but truly bounded by angles and curves. |
|
Know ye, O man, that all that exists |
|
is only an aspect of greater things yet to come. |
|
Matter is fluid and flows like a stream, |
|
constantly changing from one thing to another. |
|
|
|
All through the ages has knowledge existed; |
|
never been changed, though buried in darkness; |
|
never been lost, though forgotten by man. |
|
|
|
Know ye that throughout the space |
|
that ye dwell in |
|
are others as great as your own, |
|
interlaced through the heart of your matter |
|
yet separate in space of their own. |
|
|
|
Once in a time long forgotten, |
|
I THOTH, opened the doorway, |
|
penetrated into other spaces |
|
and learned of the secrets concealed. |
|
Deep in the essence of matter |
|
are many mysteries concealed. |
|
|
|
Nine are the interlocked dimensions, |
|
and Nine are the cycles of space. |
|
Nine are the diffusions of consciousness, |
|
and Nine are the worlds within worlds. |
|
Aye, Nine are the Lords of the cycles |
|
that come from above and below. |
|
|
|
Space is filled with concealed ones, |
|
for space is divided by time. |
|
Seek ye the key to the time-space, |
|
and ye shall unlock the gate. |
|
Know ye that throughout the time-space |
|
consciousness surely exist. |
|
Though from our knowledge it is hidden, |
|
yet still forever exists. |
|
|
|
The key to worlds within thee |
|
are found only within. |
|
For man is the gateway of mystery |
|
and the key that is One with the One. |
|
|
|
Seek ye within the circle. |
|
Use the WORD I shall give. |
|
Open the gateway within thee, |
|
and surely thou, too, shall live. |
|
Man, ye think that ye liveth, |
|
but know it is life within death. |
|
For as sure as ye are bound to your body, |
|
for you no life exists. |
|
Only the Soul is space-free, |
|
has life that is really a life. |
|
All else is only a bondage, |
|
a fetter from which to be free. |
|
|
|
Think not that man is earth-born, |
|
though come from the earth he may be. |
|
Man is light-born spirit. |
|
But, without knowing, he can never be free. |
|
Darkness surrounds the light-born. |
|
Darkness fetters the Soul. |
|
Only the one who is seeking |
|
may ever hope to be free. |
|
|
|
Shadows around thee are falling |
|
darkness fills all the space |
|
Shine forth, O LIGHT of the man-soul. |
|
Fill thou the darkness of space. |
|
|
|
Ye are son of the GREAT LIGHT |
|
Remember and ye shall be free. |
|
Stay not thou in the shadows. |
|
Spring forth from the darkness of night |
|
Light, let thy Soul be, O SUN-BORN, |
|
fill with glory of Light, |
|
Freed from the bonds of the darkness, |
|
a Soul that is One with the Light. |
|
|
|
Thou art the key to all wisdom. |
|
Within thee is all time and space. |
|
Live not in bondage to darkness. |
|
Free thou, thy Light-form from night. |
|
|
|
Great Light that fills all the Cosmos, |
|
flow thou fully to man. |
|
Make of his body a light-torch |
|
that shall never be quenched among men. |
|
|
|
Long in the past, sought I wisdom, |
|
knowledge not known to man. |
|
Far to the past, I traveled |
|
into the space where time began. |
|
Sought I ever knew knowledge |
|
to add to the wisdom I knew. |
|
Yet only, I found, did the future |
|
hold the key to the wisdom I thought. |
|
|
|
Down, to the HOLES of AMENTI |
|
I journeyed, the greater knowledge to seek. |
|
Ask of thee, LORDS of the CYCLES, |
|
they way to the wisdom I sought. |
|
Asked the LORDS this question: |
|
Where is the source of ALL? |
|
Answered, in tones that were mighty, |
|
the voice of the LORD of the NINE: |
|
Free thou thy soul from thy body |
|
and come forth with me to the LIGHT. |
|
|
|
Forth I came from my body, |
|
a glittering flame in the night. |
|
Stood I before the LORD, |
|
bathed in the fire of LIFE. |
|
Seized was I then by a force, |
|
great beyond knowledge of man. |
|
Cast was I to the Abyss |
|
through spaces unknown to man. |
|
|
|
Saw I the moldings of Order |
|
from the chaos and angles of night. |
|
Saw I the LIGHT, spring from Order |
|
and heard the voice of the Light. |
|
Saw I the flame of the Abyss, |
|
casting forth Order and Light. |
|
Saw Order spring out of chaos. |
|
Saw Light giving forth Life. |
|
|
|
Then heard I the voice. |
|
Hear thou and understand. |
|
The flame is the source of all things, |
|
containing all things in potentiality. |
|
The Order that sent forth light |
|
is the WORD and from the WORD, |
|
COME LIFE and the existence of all. |
|
|
|
And again spoke the voice saying: |
|
THE LIFE in thee is the WORD. |
|
Find thou the LIFE within thee |
|
and have powers to use of the WORD. |
|
|
|
Long I watched the Light-flame, |
|
pouring forth from the Essence of Fire, |
|
realizing that LIFE but Order |
|
and that man is one with the fire. |
|
|
|
Back I came to my body |
|
stood again with the Nine, |
|
listened to the voice of the Cycles, |
|
vibrate with powers they spoke: |
|
Know ye, O Thoth, that LIFE |
|
is but thee WORD of the FIRE. |
|
The LIFE forth ye seek before thee |
|
is but the WORD in the World as a fire. |
|
Seek ye the path to the WORD and Powers |
|
shall surely be thine. |
|
|
|
Then asked I of the Nine: |
|
O Lord, show me the path. |
|
Give the path to the wisdom. |
|
Show me the way to the WORD. |
|
Answered, me then, |
|
the LORD OF THE NINE: |
|
Through ORDER, ye shall find the way. |
|
Saw ye that the WORD came from Chaos? |
|
Saw ye not that LIGHT came from FIRE? |
|
|
|
Look in thy life for this order. |
|
Balance and order thy life. |
|
Quell all the Chaos of the emotions |
|
and thou shalt have order in LIFE. |
|
ORDER brought forth from Chaos |
|
will bring thee the WORD of the SOURCE, |
|
will thee the power of CYCLES, |
|
and make of thy Soul a force that |
|
freewill extend through the ages, |
|
a perfect SUN from the Source. |
|
|
|
Listened I to the voice |
|
and deep thanked the words in my heart. |
|
Forever have I sought for order |
|
that I might draw on the WORD. |
|
Know ye that he who attains it |
|
must ever in ORDER be for use |
|
of the WORD though this order |
|
has never and can never be. |
|
|
|
Take ye these words, O man. |
|
As part of thy life, let them be. |
|
Seek thee to conquer this order |
|
and One with the WORD thou shalt be. |
|
|
|
Put forth thy effort in gaining LIGHT |
|
on the pathway of Life. |
|
Seek to be One with the SUN/state. |
|
Seek to be solely the LIGHT. |
|
Hold thou thy thought on the Oneness |
|
of Light with the body of man. |
|
Know that all is Order from Chaos |
|
born into light. |
