1 |

List ye, O man, hear ye the wisdom.
|
2 |
+
Hear ye the Word that shall fill thee with Life.
|
3 |
+
Hear ye the Word that shall banish the darkness.
|
4 |
+
Hear ye the voice that shall banish the night.
|
5 |
+
|
6 |
+
Mystery and wisdom have I brought to my children;
|
7 |
+
knowledge and power descended from old.
|
8 |
+
Know ye not that all shall be opened
|
9 |
+
when ye shall find the oneness of all?
|
10 |
+
|
11 |
+
One shall ye be with the Masters of Mystery,
|
12 |
+
Conquerors of Death and Masters of Life.
|
13 |
+
Aye, ye shall learn of the flower of Amenti
|
14 |
+
the blossom of life that shines in the Halls.
|
15 |
+
In Spirit shall ye reach that Halls of Amenti
|
16 |
+
and bring back the wisdom that liveth in Light.
|
17 |
+
Know ye the gateway to power is secret.
|
18 |
+
Know ye the gateway to life is through death.
|
19 |
+
Aye, through death but not as ye know death,
|
20 |
+
but a death that is life and is fire and is Light.
|
21 |
+
|
22 |
+
Desireth thou to know the deep, hidden secret?
|
23 |
+
Look in thy heart where the knowledge is bound.
|
24 |
+
Know that in thee the secret is hidden,
|
25 |
+
the source of all life and the source of all death.
|
26 |
+
|
27 |
+
List ye, O man, while I tell the secret,
|
28 |
+
reveal unto thee the secret of old.
|
29 |
+
|
30 |
+
Deep in Earth's heart lies the flower,
|
31 |
+
the source of the Spirit
|
32 |
+
that binds all in its form.
|
33 |
+
or know ye that the Earth is living in body
|
34 |
+
as thou art alive in thine own formed form.
|
35 |
+
The Flower of Life is as thine own place of Spirit
|
36 |
+
and streams through the Earth
|
37 |
+
as thine flows through thy form;
|
38 |
+
giving of life to the Earth and its children,
|
39 |
+
renewing the Spirit from form unto form.
|
40 |
+
This is the Spirit that is form of thy body,
|
41 |
+
shaping and moulding into its form.
|
42 |
+
|
43 |
+
Know ye, O man, that thy form is dual,
|
44 |
+
balanced in polarity while formed in its form.
|
45 |
+
Know that when fast on thee Death approaches,
|
46 |
+
it is only because thy balance is shaken.
|
47 |
+
It is only because one pole has been lost.
|
48 |
+
|
49 |
+
Know that the secret of life in Amenti
|
50 |
+
is the secret of restoring the balance of poles.
|
51 |
+
All that exists has form and is living
|
52 |
+
because of the Spirit of life in its poles.
|
53 |
+
|
54 |
+
See ye not that in Earth's heart
|
55 |
+
is the balance of all things that exist
|
56 |
+
and have being on its face?
|
57 |
+
The source of thy Spirit is drawn from Earth's heart,
|
58 |
+
for in thy form thou are one with the Earth
|
59 |
+
|
60 |
+
When thou hast learned to hold thine own balance,
|
61 |
+
then shalt thou draw on the balance of Earth.
|
62 |
+
Exist then shalt thou while Earth is existing,
|
63 |
+
changing in form, only when Earth, too, shalt change:
|
64 |
+
Tasting not of death, but one with this planet,
|
65 |
+
holding thy form till all pass away.
|
66 |
+
|
67 |
+
List ye, O man, whilst I give the secret so that
|
68 |
+
ye, too, shalt taste not of change.
|
69 |
+
One hour each day shalt thou lie
|
70 |
+
with thine head pointed to the
|
71 |
+
place of the positive pole (north).
|
72 |
+
One hour each day shalt thy head be
|
73 |
+
pointed to the place of the negative pole (south).
|
74 |
+
Whilst thy head is placed to the northward,
|
75 |
+
hold thou thy consciousness from the chest to the head.
|
76 |
+
|
77 |
+
And when thy head is placed southward,
|
78 |
+
hold thou thy thought from chest to the feet.
|
79 |
+
Hold thou in balance once in each seven,
|
80 |
+
and thy balance will retain the whole of its strength.
|
81 |
+
Aye, if thou be old, thy body will freshen
|
82 |
+
and thy strength will become as a youth's.
|
83 |
+
This is the secret known to the Masters
|
84 |
+
by which they hold off the fingers of Death.
|
85 |
+
Neglect not to follow the path I have shown,
|
86 |
+
for when thou hast passed beyond years
|
87 |
+
to a hundred to neglect
|
88 |
+
it will mean the coming of Death.
|
89 |
+
|
90 |
+
Hear ye, my words, and follow the pathway.
|
91 |
+
Keep thou thy balance and live on in life.
|
92 |
+
|
93 |
+
Hear ye, O man, and list to my voice.
|
94 |
+
List to the wisdom that gives thee of Death.
|
95 |
+
When at the end of thy work appointed,
|
96 |
+
thou may desire to pass from this life,
|
97 |
+
pass to the plane where the Suns of the Morning
|
98 |
+
live and have being as Children of Light.
|
99 |
+
Pass without pain and pass without sorrow
|
100 |
+
into the plane where is eternal Light.
|
101 |
+
|
102 |
+
First lie at rest with thine head to the eastward.
|
103 |
+
Fold thou thy hands at the Source of thy life (solar plexus).
|
104 |
+
|
105 |
+
Place thou thy consciousness in the life seat.
|
106 |
+
Whirl it and divide to north and to south.
|
107 |
+
|
108 |
+
Send thou the one out toward the northward.
|
109 |
+
Send thou the other out to the south.
|
110 |
+
Relax thou their hold upon thy being.
|
111 |
+
Forth from thy form will thy silver spark fly,
|
112 |
+
upward and onward to the Sun of the morning,
|
113 |
+
blending with Light, at one with its source.
|
114 |
+
|
115 |
+
There it shall flame till desire shall be created.
|
116 |
+
Then shall return to a place in a form.
|
117 |
+
|
118 |
+
Know ye, O men, that thus pass the great Souls,
|
119 |
+
changing at will from life unto life.
|
120 |
+
Thus ever passes the Avatar,
|
121 |
+
willing his Death as he wills his own life.
|
122 |
+
|
123 |
+
List ye, O man, drink of my wisdom.
|
124 |
+
Learn ye the secret that is Master of Time.
|
125 |
+
Learn ye how those ye call Masters are
|
126 |
+
able to remember the lives of the past.
|
127 |
+
|
128 |
+
Great is the secret yet easy to master,
|
129 |
+
giving to thee the mastery of time.
|
130 |
+
When upon thee death fast approaches,
|
131 |
+
fear not but know ye are master of Death.
|
132 |
+
|
133 |
+
Relax thy body, resist not with tension.
|
134 |
+
Place in thy heart the flame of thy Soul.
|
135 |
+
Swiftly then sweep it to the seat of the triangle.
|
136 |
+
|
137 |
+
Hold for a moment, then move to the goal.
|
138 |
+
This, thy goal, is the place between thine eyebrows,
|
139 |
+
the place where the memory of life must hold sway.
|
140 |
+
Hold thou thy flame here in thy brain-seat
|
141 |
+
until the fingers of Death grasp thy Soul.
|
142 |
+
Then as thou pass through the state of transition,
|
143 |
+
surely the memories of life shall pass, too.
|
144 |
+
|
145 |
+
Then shalt the past be as one with the present.
|
146 |
+
Then shall the memory of all be retained.
|
147 |
+
Free shalt thou be from all retrogression.
|
148 |
+
The things of the past shall live in today.
