those who were bound by the force from beyond. |
Deep in the Halls of Life grew a flower, flaming, |
expanding, driving backward the night. |
Placed in the center, a ray of great potence, Life |
giving, Light giving, filling with power all who came near it. |
Placed they around it thrones, two and thirty, |
places for each of the Children of Light, |
placed so that they were bathed in the radiance, |
filled with the Life from the eternal Light. |
There time after time placed they their first created bodies |
so that they might by filled with the Spirit of Life. |
One hundred years out of each thousand must the |
Life-giving Light flame forth on their bodies. |
Quickening, awakening the Spirit of Life. |
There in the circle from aeon to aeon, |
sit the Great Masters, |
living a life not known among men. |
There in the Halls of Life they lie sleeping; |
free flows their Soul through the bodies of men. |
Time after time, while their bodies lie sleeping, |
incarnate they in the bodies of men. |
Teaching and guiding onward and upward, |
out of the darkness into the light. |
There in the Hall of Life, filled with their wisdom, |
known not to the races of man, living forever 'neath the cold |
fire of life, sit the Children of Light. |
Times there are when they awaken, |
come from the depths to be lights among men, |
infinite they among finite men. |
He who by progress has grown from the darkness, |
lifted himself from the night into light, |
free is he made of the Halls of Amenti, |
free of the Flower of Light and of Life. |
Guided he then, by wisdom and knowledge, |
passes from men, to the Master of Life. |
There he may dwell as one with the Masters, |
free from the bonds of the darkness of night. |
Seated within the flower of radiance sit seven |
Lords from the Space-Times above us, |
helping and guiding through infinite Wisdom, |
the pathway through time of the children of men. |
Mighty and strange, they, |
veiled with their power, |
silent, all-knowing, |
drawing the Life force, |
different yet one with the |
children of men. |
Aye, different, and yet One |
with the Children of Light. |
Custodians and watchers of the force of man's bondage, |
ready to loose when the light has been reached. |
First and most mighty, |
sits the Veiled Presence, Lord of Lords, |
the infinite Nine, |
over the other from each |
the Lords of the Cycles; |
Three, Four, Five, and Six, Seven, Eight, |
each with his mission, each with his powers, |
guiding, directing the destiny of man. |
There sit they, mighty and potent, |
free of all time and space. |
Not of this world they, |
yet akin to it, |
Elder Brothers they, |
of the children of men. |
Judging and weighing, |
they with their wisdom, |
watching the progress |
of Light among men. |
There before them was I led by the Dweller, |
watched him blend with ONE from above. |
Then from HE came forth a voice saying: |
"Great art thou, Thoth, among children of men. |
Free henceforth of the Halls of Amenti, |
Master of Life among children of men. |
Taste not of death except as thou will it, |
drink thou of Life to Eternity's end, |
Henceforth forever is Life, |
thine for the taking. |
Henceforth is Death at the call of thy hand. |
Dwell here or leave here when thou desireth, |
free is Amenti to the son of man. |
Take thou up Life in what form thou desireth, |
Child of the Light that has grown among men. |
Choose thou thy work, for all should must labor, |
