|
Hark ye, O man, to the wisdom of magic. |
|
Hark the knowledge of powers forgotten. |
|
Long ago in the days of the first man, |
|
warfare began between darkness and light. |
|
Men then as now, |
|
were filled with both darkness and light; |
|
and while in some darkness held sway, |
|
in other light filled the soul. |
|
|
|
Aye, age old in this warfare, |
|
the eternal struggle between darkness and light. |
|
Fiercely is it fought all through the ages, |
|
using strange powers hidden to man. |
|
|
|
Adepts has there been filled with the blackness, |
|
struggling always against the light; |
|
but others there are who, filled with brightness, |
|
have ever conquered the darkness of night. |
|
Where e'er ye may be in all ages and plane, |
|
surely, ye shall know of the battle with night. |
|
Long ages ago, |
|
The SUNS of the Morning |
|
descending, found the world filled with night, |
|
there in that past, began the struggle, |
|
the age old Battle Darkness & Light. |
|
|
|
Many in the time were so filled with darkness |
|
that only feebly flamed the light from the night. |
|
|
|
Some they were, masters of darkness, who sought |
|
to fill all with their darkness: |
|
Sought to draw others into their night. |
|
Fiercely withstood they, the masters of brightness: |
|
fiercely fought they from the darkness of night |
|
Sought ever to tighten the fetters, |
|
the chains that bind men to the darkness of night. |
|
Used they always the dark magic, |
|
brought into men by the power of darkness. |
|
magic that enshrouded man's soul with darkness. |
|
|
|
Banded together as in order, |
|
BROTHERS OF DARKNESS, |
|
they through the ages, |
|
antagonist they to the children of men. |
|
Walked they always secret and hidden, |
|
found, yet not found by the children of men. |
|
|
|
Forever, they walked and worked in darkness, |
|
hiding from the light in the darkness of night. |
|
Silently, secretly use they their power, |
|
enslaving and binding the soul of men. |
|
|
|
Unseen they come, and unseen they go. |
|
Man, in his ignorance calls THEM from below. |
|
|
|
Dark is the way of the DARK BROTHERS travel, |
|
dark of the darkness not of the night, |
|
traveling o'er Earth |
|
they walk through man's dreams. |
|
Power they have gained |
|
from the darkness around them |
|
to call other dwellers from out of their plane, |
|
in ways that are dark and unseen by man. |
|
Into man's mind-space reach the DARK BROTHERS. |
|
|
|
Around it, they close the veil of their night. |
|
There through it's lifetime |
|
that soul dwells in bondage, |
|
bound by the fetters of the VEIL of the night. |
|
Mighty are they in the forbidden knowledge |
|
forbidden because it is one with the night. |
|
|
|
Hark ye O old man and list to my warning: |
|
be ye free from the bondage of night. |
|
Surrender not your soul to the BROTHERS OF DARKNESS. |
|
Keep thy face ever turned towards the Light. |
|
Know ye not, O man, that your sorrow, |
|
only has come through the Veil of the night. |
|
Aye man, heed ye my warning: |
|
strive ever upward, |
|
turn your soul toward the LIGHT. |
|
The BROTHERS OF DARKNESS seek for their brothers |
|
those who traveled the pathway of LIGHT. |
|
For well know they that those who have traveled |
|
far towards the Sun in their pathway of LIGHT |
|
have great and yet greater power |
|
to bind with darkness the children of LIGHT. |
|
|
|
List ye, O man, to he who comes to you. |
|
But weigh in the balance if his words be of LIGHT. |
|
For many there are who walk in DARK BRIGHTNESS |
|
and yet are not the children of LIGHT. |
|
|
|
Easy it is to follow their pathway, |
|
easy to follow the path that they lead. |
|
But yet O man, heed ye my warning: |
|
Light comes only to him who strives. |
|
Hard is the pathway that leads to the WISDOM, |
|
hard is the pathway that leads to the LIGHT. |
|
Many shall ye find, the stones in your pathway: |
|
many the mountains to climb toward the LIGHT. |
|
|
|
Yet know ye, O man, to him that o'ercometh, |
|
free will he be of the pathway of Light. |
|
For ye know, O man, |
|
in the END light must conquer |
|
and darkness and night be banished from Light. |
|
|
|
Listen, O man, and heed ye this wisdom; |
|
even as darkness, so is the LIGHT. |
|
|
|
When darkness is banished and all Veils are rended, |
|
out there shall flash from the darkness, the LIGHT. |
|
|
|
Even as exist among men the DARK BROTHERS, |
|
so there exists the BROTHERS OF LIGHT. |
|
Antagonists they of the BROTHERS OF DARKNESS, |
|
seeking to free men from the night. |
|
Powers have they, mighty and potent. |
|
Knowing the LAW, the planets obey. |
|
Work they ever in harmony and order, |
|
freeing the man-soul from its bondage of night. |
|
|
|
Secret and hidden, walk they also. |
|
Known not are they to the children of men. |
|
Ever have THEY fought the DARK BROTHERS, |
|
conquered and conquering time without end. |
|
Yet always LIGHT shall in the end be master, |
|
driving away the darkness of night. |
|
|
|
Aye, man, know ye this knowing: |
|
always beside thee walk the Children of Light. |
|
|
|
Masters they of the SUN power, |
|
ever unseen yet the guardians of men. |
|
Open to all is their pathway, |
|
open to he who will walk in the LIGHT. |
|
Free are THEY of DARK AMENTI, |
|
free of the HALLS, where LIFE reigns supreme. |
|
|
|
SUNS are they and LORDS of the morning, |
|
Children of Light to shine among men. |
|
Like man are they and yet are unlike, |
|
Never divided were they in the past. |
|
|
|
ONE have they been in ONENESS eternal, |
|
throughout all space since the beginning of time. |
|
Up did they come in Oneness with the ALL ONE, |
|
up from the first-space, formed and unformed. |
|
|
|
Given to man have they secrets |
|
that shall guard and protect him from all harm. |
|
He who would travel the path of the master, |
|
free must he be from the bondage of night. |
|
Conquer must he the formless and shapeless, |
|
conquer must he the phantom of fear. |
|
|
|
Knowing, must he gain of all of the secrets, |
|
travel the pathway that leads through the darkness, |
|
yet ever before him keep the light of his goal. |
|
Obstacles great shall he meet in the pathway, |
|
yet press on to the LIGHT of the SUN. |
|
|
|
Hear ye, O Man, the SUN is the symbol |
|
of the LIGHT that shines at the end of thy road. |
|
Now to thee give I the secrets: |
|
now to meet the dark power, |
|
meet and conquer the fear from the night. |
|
Only by knowing can ye conquer, |
|
Only be knowing can ye have LIGHT. |
|
|
|
Now I give unto thee the knowledge, |
|
known to the MASTERS, |
|
the knowing that conquers all the dark fears. |
|
Use this, the wisdom I give thee. |
|
MASTER thou shalt be of THE BROTHERS OF NIGHT. |
|
|
|
When unto thee comes a feeling, |
|
drawing thee nearer to the darker gate, |
|
examine thine heart and find if the feeling |
|
thou hast has come from within. |
|
If thou shalt find the darkness thine own thoughts, |
|
banish them forth from the place in thy mind. |
|
|
|
Send through thy body a wave of vibration, |
|
irregular first and regular second, |
|
repeating time after time until free. |
|
Start the WAVE FORCE in thy BRAIN CENTER. |
|
Direct it in waves from thine head to thy foot. |
|
|
|
But if thou findest thine heart is not darkened, |
|
be sure that a force is directed to thee. |
|
Only by knowing can thou overcome it. |
|
Only be wisdom can thou hope to be free. |
|
Knowledge brings wisdom and wisdom is power. |
|
Attain and ye shall have power o'er all. |
|
|
|
Seek ye first a place bound by darkness. |
|
Place ye a circle around about thee. |
|
Stand erect in the midst of the circle. |
|
Use thou this formula, and you shalt be free. |
|
Raise thou thine hands to the dark space above thee |
|
. Close thou thine eyes and draw in the LIGHT. |
|
|
|
Call to the SPIRIT OF LIGHT through the Space-Time, |
|
using these words and thou shalt be free: |
|
"Fill thou my body, O SPIRIT OF LIfe, |
|
fill thou my body with SPIRIT OF LIGHT. |
|
Come from the FLOWER |
|
that shines through the darkness. |
|
Come from the HALLS where the Seven Lords rule. |
|
|
|
Name them by name, I, the Seven: |
|
THREE, FOUR, FIVE, |
|
and SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT--Nine. |
|
|
|
By their names I call them to aid me, |
|
free me and save me from the darkness of night: |
|
UNTANAS, QUERTAS, CHIETAL, |
|
and GOYANA, HUERTAL, SEMVETA--ARDAL. |
|
By their names I implore thee, |
|
free me from darkness |
|
and fill me with LIGHT |
|
|
|
Know ye, O man, that when ye have done this, |
|
ye shall be free from the fetters that bind ye, |
|
cast off the bondage of the brothers of night. |
|
|
|
See ye not that the names have the power |
|
to free by vibration the fetters that bind? |
|
Use them at need to free thou thine brother |
|
so that he, too, may come forth from the night. |
|
|
|
Thou, O man, art thy brother's helper. |
|
Let him not lie in the bondage of night. |
|
|
|
Now unto thee, give I my magic. |
|
Take it and dwell on the pathway of LIGHT. |
|
|
|
LIGHT unto thee, LIFE unto thee, |
|
SUN may thou be on the cycle above. |
