thoth

+List ye, O man, to the words of my wisdom,
+list to the voice of Thoth, the Atlantean.
+Conquered have I the Law of time-space.
+Knowledge have I gained of the future of time.
+Know I that man in his movement through
+space-time shall ever be One with the All
+Know ye, O man,
+that all of the future is an open book
+to him who can read.
+All effect shall bring forth its causes
+as all effects grew from the first cause.
+Know ye the future is not fixed or
+stable but varies as cause brings forth an effect.
+Look in the cause thou shalt bring into being,
+and surely thou shalt see that all is effect.
+So, O man, be sure the effects that ye bring
+forth are ever causes of more perfect effects.
+Know ye the future is never in fixation but
+follows man's free will as it moves through
+the movements of time-space toward
+the goal where a new time begins.
+Man can only read the future through
+the causes that bring the effects.
+Seek ye within the causation and
+surely ye shall find the effects.
+List ye, O man, while I speak of the future,
+speak of the effect that follows the cause.
+Know ye that man in his journey light-ward
+is ever seeking escape from the night that surrounds him,
+like the shadows that surround the stars in the sky
+and like the stars in the sky-space, he, too,
+shall shine from the shadows of night.
+Ever his destiny shall lead him onward
+until he is One with the Light.
+Aye, though his way lies midst the shadows,
+ever before him glows the Great Light.
+Dark though the way be yet shall he conquer
+the shadows that flow around him like night.
+Far in the future, I see man as Light-born,
+free from the darkness that fetters the Soul,
+living in Light without the bounds of the darkness
+to cover the Light that is Light of their Soul.
+Know ye, O man, before ye attain this that
+many the dark shadows shall fall on your Light
+striving to quench with the shadows of darkness
+the Light of the Soul that strives to be free.
+Great is the struggle between Light and darkness,
+age old and yet ever new. Yet, know in a time, far in the future,
+Light shall be All and darkness shall fall.
+List ye, O man, to my words of wisdom.
+Prepare and ye shall not bind your Light.
+Man has risen and man has fallen as ever new
+waves of consciousness flow from the great
+abyss below us toward the Sun of their goal.
+Ye, my children, have risen from a state
+that was little above the beast,
+until now of all men ye are greatest.
+Yet before thee were others greater than thee.
+Yet tell I thee as before thee others have fallen,
+so also shall ye come to an end.
+And upon the land where ye dwell now,
+barbarians shall dwell and in turn rise to Light.
+Forgotten shall be the ancient-wisdom,
+yet ever shall live though hidden from men.
+Aye, in the land thou callest Khem,
+races shall rise and races shall fall.
+Forgotten shalt thou be of the children of men.
+Yet thou shalt have moved to a star-space
+beyond this leaving behind this place where thou has dwelt.
+The Soul of man moves ever onward,
+bound not by any one star.
+But ever moving to the great goal before him
+where he is dissolved in the Light of the All.
+Know ye that ye shall ever go onward,
+moved by the Law of cause and effect
+until in the end both become One
+Aye, man, after ye have gone,
+others shall move in the places ye lived.
+Knowledge and wisdom shall all be forgotten,
+and only a memory of Gods shall survive.
+As I to thee am a God by my knowledge,
+so ye, too shall be Gods of the future
+because of your knowledge far above theirs.
+Yet know ye that all through the ages,
+man shall have access to Law when he will.
+Ages to come shall see revival of wisdom
+to those who shall inherit thy place on this star.
+They shall, in turn, come into wisdom
+and learn to banish the darkness by Light.
+Yet greatly must they strive through the ages
+to bring unto themselves the freedom of Light.
+Then shall there come unto man the great warfare
+that shall make the Earth tremble and shake in its course.
+Aye, then shall the Dark Brothers
+open the warfare between Light and the night.
+When man again shall conquer the ocean and fly
+in the air on wings like the birds;
+when he has learned to harness the lightning,
+then shall the time of warfare begin.
+Great shall the battle be twixt the forces,
+great the warfare of darkness and Light.
+Nation shall rise against nation
+using the dark forces to shatter the Earth.
+Weapons of force shall wipe out the Earth-man
+until half of the races of men shall be gone.
+Then shall come forth the Sons of the Morning
+and give their edict to the children of men, saying:
+O men, cease from thy striving against thy brother.
+Only thus can ye come to the Light.
+Cease from thy unbelief, O my brother,
+and follow the path and know ye are right.
+Then shall men cease from their striving,
+brother against brother and father against son.
+Then shall the ancient home of my people rise
+from its place beneath the dark ocean waves.
+Then shall the Age of Light be unfolded
+with all men seeking the Light of the goal.
+Then shall the Brothers of Light rule the people.
+Banished shall be the darkness of night.
+Aye, the children of men shall progress
+onward and upward to the great goal.
+Children of Light shall they become.
+Flame of the flame shall their Souls ever be.
+Knowledge and wisdom shall be man's
+in the great age for he shall approach the eternal flame,
+the Source of all wisdom,
+the place of beginning,
+that is yet One with the end of all things.
+Aye, in a time that is yet unborn,
+all shall be One and One shall be All.
+Man, a perfect flame of this Cosmos,
+shall move forward to a place in the stars.
+Aye, shall move even from out of this space-time
+into another beyond the stars.
+Long have ye listened to me,
+O my children,
+long have ye listened to the wisdom of Thoth.
+Now I depart from ye into darkness.
+Now go I to the Halls of Amenti,
+there to dwell in the future when Light
+shall come again to man.
+Yet, know ye, my Spirit shall ever be with thee,
+guiding thy feet in the pathway of Light.
+Guard ye the secrets I leave with thee,
+and surely my spirit will guard thee through life.
+Keep thine eyes ever on the pathway to wisdom.
+Keep the Light as thy goal evermore.
+Fetter not thy Soul in bondage of darkness;
+free let it wing in its flight to the stars.
+Now I depart thee to dwell in Amenti.
+Be thou my children in this life and the next.
+The time will come when ye, too, shall be deathless,
+living from age to age a Light among men.
+Guard ye the entrance to the Halls of Amenti.
+Guard ye the secrets I have hidden among ye.
+Let not the wisdom be cast to barbarians.
+Secret shall thou keep it for those who seek Light.
+Now depart I.
+Receive thou my blessing.
+Take thou my way and follow the Light.
+Blend thou thy Soul in the Great Essence.
+One, with the Great Light let thy consciousness be.
+Call thou on me when thou dost need me.
+Use my name three times in a row:
+Chequetet, Arelich, Volmalites.
