1 |

Unto thee, O man,
|
2 |
+
have I given my knowledge.
|
3 |
+
Unto thee have I given of Light.
|
4 |
+
Hear ye now and receive my wisdom
|
5 |
+
brought from space planes above and beyond.
|
6 |
+
|
7 |
+
Not as man am I
|
8 |
+
for free have I become of dimensions and planes.
|
9 |
+
In each, take I on a new body.
|
10 |
+
In each, I change in my form.
|
11 |
+
Know I now that the formless is all there is of form.
|
12 |
+
|
13 |
+
Great is the wisdom of the Seven.
|
14 |
+
Mighty are THEY from beyond.
|
15 |
+
Manifest THEY through their power,
|
16 |
+
filled by force from beyond.
|
17 |
+
|
18 |
+
Hear ye these words of wisdom.
|
19 |
+
Hear ye and make them thine own.
|
20 |
+
Find in them the formless.
|
21 |
+
Mystery is but hidden knowledge.
|
22 |
+
Know and ye shall unveil.
|
23 |
+
Find the deep buried wisdom
|
24 |
+
and be master of darkness and Light.
|
25 |
+
|
26 |
+
Deep are the mysteries around thee,
|
27 |
+
hidden the secrets of Old.
|
28 |
+
Search through the KEYS of my WISDOM.
|
29 |
+
Surely shall ye find the way.
|
30 |
+
The gateway to power is secret,
|
31 |
+
but he who attains shall receive.
|
32 |
+
Look to the LIGHT! O my brother.
|
33 |
+
Open and ye shall receive.
|
34 |
+
Press on through the valley of darkness.
|
35 |
+
Overcome the dweller of night.
|
36 |
+
Keep ever thine eyes of the LIGHT-PLANE,
|
37 |
+
and thou shalt be One with the LIGHT.
|
38 |
+
|
39 |
+
Man is in process of changing
|
40 |
+
to forms that are not of this world.
|
41 |
+
Grows he is time to the formless,
|
42 |
+
a plane on the cycle above.
|
43 |
+
Know ye, ye must become formless before ye are with the LIGHT,
|
44 |
+
|
45 |
+
List ye, O man, to my voice,
|
46 |
+
telling of pathways to Light,
|
47 |
+
showing the way of attainment
|
48 |
+
when ye shall be One with the Light.
|
49 |
+
|
50 |
+
Search ye the mysteries of Earth's heart.
|
51 |
+
Learn of the LAW that exists,
|
52 |
+
holding the stars in their balance
|
53 |
+
by the force of the primordial mist.
|
54 |
+
Seek ye the flame of the EARTH'S LIFE.
|
55 |
+
Bathe in the glare of its flame.
|
56 |
+
Follow the three-cornered pathway
|
57 |
+
until thou, too, art a flame.
|
58 |
+
|
59 |
+
Speak thou in words without voice
|
60 |
+
to those who dwell down below.
|
61 |
+
Enter the blue-litten temple
|
62 |
+
and bathe in the fire of all life.
|
63 |
+
|
64 |
+
Know, O man, thou art complex,
|
65 |
+
a being of earth and of fire.
|
66 |
+
Let thy flame shine out brightly.
|
67 |
+
Be thou only the fire.
|
68 |
+
|
69 |
+
Wisdom is hidden in darkness.
|
70 |
+
When lit by the flame of the Soul,
|
71 |
+
find thou the wisdom and be LIGHT-BORN,
|
72 |
+
a Sun of the Light without form.
|
73 |
+
Seek thee ever more wisdom.
|
74 |
+
Find it in the heart of the flame.
|
75 |
+
Know that only by striving
|
76 |
+
and Light pour into thy brain.
|
77 |
+
Now have I spoken with wisdom.
|
78 |
+
List to my Voice and obey.
|
79 |
+
Tear open the Veils of the darkness.
|
80 |
+
Shine a LIGHT on the WAY.
|
81 |
+
|
82 |
+
Speak I of Ancient Atlantis,
|
83 |
+
speak of the days
|
84 |
+
of the Kingdom of Shadows,
|
85 |
+
speak of the coming
|
86 |
+
of the children of shadows.
|
87 |
+
Out of the great deep were they called
|
88 |
+
by the wisdom of earth-men,
|
89 |
+
called for the purpose of gaining great power.
|
90 |
+
|
91 |
+
Far in the past before Atlantis existed,
|
92 |
+
men there were who delved into darkness,
|
93 |
+
using dark magic, calling up beings
|
94 |
+
from the great deep below us.
|
95 |
+
Forth came they into this cycle.
|
96 |
+
Formless were they of another vibration,
|
97 |
+
existing unseen by the children of earth-men.
|
98 |
+
Only through blood could they have formed being.
|
99 |
+
Only through man could they live in the world.
|
100 |
+
|
101 |
+
In ages past were they conquered by Masters,
|
102 |
+
driven below to the place whence they came.
|
103 |
+
But some there were who remained,
|
104 |
+
hidden in spaces and planes unknown to man.
|
105 |
+
Lived they in Atlantis as shadows,
|
106 |
+
but at times they appeared among men.
|
107 |
+
Aye, when the blood was offered,
|
108 |
+
for they came they to dwell among men.
|
109 |
+
|
110 |
+
In the form of man they amongst us,
|
111 |
+
but only to sight were they as are men.
|
112 |
+
Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted
|
113 |
+
but appearing to man as men among men.
|
114 |
+
Crept they into the Councils,
|
115 |
+
taking forms that were like unto men.
|
116 |
+
Slaying by their arts
|
117 |
+
the chiefs of the kingdoms,
|
118 |
+
taking their form and ruling o'er man.
|
119 |
+
Only by magic could they be discovered.
|
120 |
+
Only by sound could their faces be seen.
|
121 |
+
Sought they from the Kingdom of shadows
|
122 |
+
to destroy man and rule in his place.
|
123 |
+
|
124 |
+
But, know ye, the Masters were mighty in magic,
|
125 |
+
able to lift the Veil from the face of the serpent,
|
126 |
+
able to send him back to his place.
|
127 |
+
Came they to man and taught him the secret,
|
128 |
+
the WORD that only a man can pronounce.
|
129 |
+
Swift then they lifted the Veil from the serpent
|
130 |
+
and cast him forth from the place among men.
|
131 |
+
|
132 |
+
Yet, beware, the serpent still liveth
|
133 |
+
in a place that is open at times to the world.
|
134 |
+
Unseen they walk among thee
|
135 |
+
in places where the rites have been said.
|
136 |
+
Again as time passes onward
|
137 |
+
shall they take the semblance of men.
|
138 |
+
|
139 |
+
Called may they be by the master
|
140 |
+
who knows the white or the black,
|
141 |
+
but only the white master may control
|
142 |
+
and bind them while in the flesh.
|
143 |
+
|
144 |
+
Seek not the kingdom of shadows,
|
145 |
+
for evil will surely appear.
|
146 |
+
For only the master of brightness
|
147 |
+
shall conquer the shadow of fear.
|
148 |
+
|
149 |
+
Know ye, O my brother,
|
150 |
+
that fear is an obstacle great.
|
151 |
+
Be master of all in the brightness,
|
152 |
+
the shadow will soon disappear.
|
153 |
+
Hear ye and heed my wisdom,
|
154 |
+
the voice of LIGHT is clear.
|
155 |
+
Seek not the valley of shadow,
|
156 |
+
and LIGHT will only appear.
|
157 |
+
|
158 |
+
List ye, O man,
|
159 |
+
to the depth of my wisdom.
|
160 |
+
Speak I of knowledge hidden from man.
|
161 |
+
Far have I been
|
162 |
+
on my journey through SPACE-TIME,
|
163 |
+
even to the end of space of this cycle.
|
164 |
+
Aye, glimpsed the HOUNDS of the Barrier,
|
165 |
+
lying in wait for he who would pass them.
|
166 |
+
In that space where time exists not,
|
167 |
+
faintly I sensed the guardians of cycles.
|
168 |
+
Move they only through angles.
|
169 |
+
Free are they not of the curved dimensions.
|
170 |
+
|
171 |
+
Strange and terrible
|
172 |
+
are the HOUNDS of the Barrier.
|
173 |
+
Follow they consciousness to the limits of space.
|
174 |
+
Think not to escape by entering your body,
|
175 |
+
for follow they fast the Soul through angles.
|
176 |
+
Only the circle will give ye protection,
|
177 |
+
save from the claws
|
178 |
+
of the DWELLERS IN ANGLES.
|
179 |
+
|
180 |
+
Once, in a time past,
|
181 |
+
I approached the great Barrier,
|
182 |
+
and saw on the shores where time exists not,
|
183 |
+
the formless forms
|
184 |
+
of the HOUNDS of the barrier.
|
185 |
+
Aye, hiding in the midst beyond time I found them;
|
186 |
+
and THEY, scenting me afar off,
|
187 |
+
raised themselves and gave the great bell cry
|
188 |
+
that could be heard from cycle to cycle
|
189 |
+
and moved through space toward my soul.
|
190 |
+
|
191 |
+
Fled I then fast before them,
|
192 |
+
back from time's unthinkable end.
|
193 |
+
But ever after me pursued they,
|
194 |
+
moving in strange angles not known to man.
|
195 |
+
Aye, on the gray shores of TIME-SPACE'S end
|
196 |
+
found I the HOUNDS of the Barrier,
|
197 |
+
ravening for the Soul
|
198 |
+
who attempts the beyond.
|
199 |
+
|
200 |
+
Fled I through circles back to my body.
|
201 |
+
Fled, and fast after me they followed.
|
202 |
+
Aye, after me the devourers followed,
|
203 |
+
seeking through angles to devour my Soul.
|
204 |
+
|
205 |
+
Aye, know ye man,
|
206 |
+
that the Soul who dares the Barrier
|
207 |
+
may be held in bondage
|
208 |
+
by the HOUNDS from beyond time,
|
209 |
+
held till this cycle is completed
|
210 |
+
and left behind
|
211 |
+
when the consciousness leaves.
|
212 |
+
|
213 |
+
Entered I my body.
|
214 |
+
Created the circles that know not angles,
|
215 |
+
created the form
|
216 |
+
that from my form was formed.
|
217 |
+
Made my body into a circle
|
218 |
+
and lost the pursuers in the circles of time.
|
219 |
+
But, even yet, when free from my body,
|
220 |
+
cautious ever must I be
|
221 |
+
not to move through angles,
|
222 |
+
else my soul may never be free.
|
223 |
+
|
224 |
+
Know ye, the HOUNDS of the Barrier
|
225 |
+
move only through angles
|
226 |
+
and never through curves of space.
|
227 |
+
Only by moving through curves
|
228 |
+
can ye escape them,
|
229 |
+
for in angles they will pursue thee.
|
230 |
+
O man, heed ye my warning;
|
231 |
+
Seek not to break open
|
232 |
+
the gate to beyond.
|
233 |
+
Few there are
|
234 |
+
who have succeeded in passing the Barrier
|
235 |
+
to the greater LIGHT that shines beyond.
|
236 |
+
For know ye, ever the dwellers,
|
237 |
+
seek such Souls to hold in their thrall.
|
238 |
+
|
239 |
+
Listen, O man, and heed ye my warning;
|
240 |
+
seek ye to move not in angles but curves,
|
241 |
+
And if while free from thy body,
|
242 |
+
though hearest the sound like the bay of a hound
|
243 |
+
ringing clear and bell-like through thy being,
|
244 |
+
flee back to thy body through circles,
|
245 |
+
penetrate not the midst mist before.
|
246 |
+
|
247 |
+
When thou hath entered the form thou hast dwelt in,
|
248 |
+
use thou the cross and the circle combined.
|
249 |
+
Open thy mouth and use thou thy Voice.
|
250 |
+
Utter the WORD and thou shalt be free.
|
251 |
+
Only the one who of LIGHT has the fullest
|
252 |
+
can hope to pass by the guards of the way.
|
253 |
+
And then must he move
|
254 |
+
through strange curves and angles
|
255 |
+
that are formed in direction not know to man.
|
256 |
+
|
257 |
+
List ye, O man, and heed ye my warning:
|
258 |
+
attempt not to pass the guards on the way.
|
259 |
+
Rather should ye seek to gain of thine own Light
|
260 |
+
and make thyself ready to pass on the way.
|
261 |
+
|
262 |
+
LIGHT is thine ultimate end, O my brother.
|
263 |
+
Seek and find ever the Light on the way.
|
