Ka is the Shadow that man knows as life. |
Ba cometh not until Ka is incarnate. |
These are mysteries to preserve through the ages. |
Keys are they of life and of Death. |
Hear ye now the mystery of mysteries: |
learn of the circle beginningless and endless, |
the form of He who is One and in all. |
Listen and hear it, go forth and apply it, |
thus will ye travel the way that I go. |
Mystery in Mystery, |
yet clear to the Light-born, |
the Secret of all I now will reveal. |
I will declare a secret to the initiated, |
but let the door be wholly shut against the profane. |
Three is the mystery, come from the great one. |
Hear, and Light on thee will dawn. |
In the primeval, dwell three unities. |
Other than these, none can exist. |
These are the equilibrium, source of creation: |
one God, one Truth, one point of freedom. |
Three come forth from the three of the balance: |
all life, all good, all power. |
Three are the qualities of God in his Light-home: |
Infinite power, Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Love. |
Three are the powers given to the Masters: |
To transmute evil, assist good, use discrimination. |
Three are the things inevitable for God to perform: |
Manifest power, wisdom and love. |
Three are the powers creating all things: |
Divine Love possessed of perfect knowledge, |
Divine Wisdom knowing all possible means, |
Divine Power possessed by the joint will of |
Divine Love and Wisdom. |
Three are the circles (states) of existence: |
The circle of Light where dwells nothing but God, |
and only God can traverse it; |
the circle of Chaos where all things |
by nature arise from death; |
the Circle of awareness where |
all things spring from life. |
All things animate are of three states of existence: |
chaos or death, liberty in humanity and felicity of Heaven. |
Three necessities control all things: |
beginning in the Great Deep, the circle of chaos, plenitude in Heaven. |
Three are the paths of the Soul: |
Man, Liberty, Light. |
Three are the hindrances: |
lack of endeavor to obtain knowledge; |
non-attachment to god; attachment to evil. |
In man, the three are manifest. |
Three are the Kings of power within. |
Three are the chambers of the mysteries, |
found yet not found in the body of man. |
Hear ye now of he who is liberated, |
freed from the bondage of life into Light. |
Knowing the source of all worlds shall be open. |
Aye, even the Gates of Arulu shall not be barred. |
Yet heed, O man, who would'st enter heaven. |
If ye be not worthy, |
better it be to fall into the fire. |
Know ye the celestials pass through the pure flame. |
At every revolution of the heavens, |
they bathe in the fountains of Light. |
List ye, O man, to this mystery: |
Long in the past before ye were man-born, |
I dwelled in Ancient Atlantis. |
There in the Temple, |
I drank of the Wisdom, |
poured as a fountain of Light |
from the Dweller. |
Give the key to ascend to the |
Presence of Light in the Great world. |
Stood I before the Holy One |
enthroned in the Flower of Fire. |
Veiled was he by the lightnings of darkness, |
else my Soul by the Glory have been shattered. |
Forth from the feet of his Throne like the diamond, |
rolled forth four rivers of flame from his footstool, |
rolled through the channels of clouds to the Man-world. |
Filled was the hall with Spirits of Heaven. |
Wonder of wonders was the Starry palace. |
