+Hark ye O man, and list to my Voice.
+Open thy mind-space and drink of my wisdom.
+Dark is the pathway of LIFE that ye travel.
+Many the pitfalls that lie in thy way.
+Seek ye ever to gain greater wisdom.
+Attain and it shall be light on thy way.
+
+Open thy SOUL, O man, to the Cosmic
+and let it flow in as one with thy SOUL.
+LIGHT is eternal and darkness is fleeting.
+Seek ye ever, O man, for the LIGHT.
+Know ye that ever as Light fills thy being,
+darkness for thee shall soon disappear.
+
+Open thy souls to the BROTHERS OF BRIGHTNESS.
+Let them enter and fill thee with LIGHT.
+Lift up thine eyes to the LIGHT of the Cosmos.
+Keep thou ever thy face to the goal.
+Only by gaining the light of all wisdom,
+art thou one with the Infinite goal.
+Seek ye ever the Oneness eternal.
+Seek ever the Light into One.
+
+Hear ye, O man, list to my Voice
+singing the song of Light and of Life.
+throughout all space, Light is prevalent,
+encompassing ALL with its banners it flames.
+Seek ye forever in the veil of the darkness,
+somewhere ye shall surely find Light.
+Hidden and buried, lost to man's knowledge,
+deep in the finite the Infinite exists.
+Lost, but existing,
+flowing through all things,
+living in ALL is the INFINITE BRAIN.
+
+In all space, there is only ONE wisdom.
+Through seeming decided, it is ONE in the ONE.
+All that exists comes forth from the LIGHT,
+and the LIGHT comes forth from the ALL.
+
+Everything created is based upon ORDER:
+LAW rules the space where the INFINITE dwells.
+Forth from equilibrium came the great cycles,
+moving in harmony toward Infinity's end.
+
+Know ye, O man, that far in the space-time,
+INFINITY itself shall pass into change.
+Hear ye and list to the Voice of Wisdom:
+Know that ALL is of ALL evermore.
+Know that through time thou may pursue wisdom
+and find ever more light on the way.
+Know that through time thou may pursue wisdom
+and find ever more light on the way.
+Aye, thou shall find that ever receding,
+thy goal shall elude thee from day unto day.
+
+Long time ago, in the HALLS OF AMENTI,
+I, Thoth, stood before the LORDS of the cycles.
+Mighty, THEY in their aspects of power;
+mighty, THEY in the wisdom unveiled.
+
+Led by the Dweller, first did I see them.
+But afterwards free was I of their presence,
+free to enter their conclave at will.
+Oft did I journey down the dark pathway
+unto the HALL where the LIGHT ever glows.
+
+Learned I of the Masters of cycles,
+wisdom brought from the cycles above.
+Manifest THEY in this cycle
+as guides of man to the knowledge of ALL.
+Seven are they, mighty in power,
+speaking these words through me to men.
+Time after time, stood I before them
+listening to words that came not with sound.
+
+Once said THEY unto me:
+O man, wouldst thou gain wisdom?
+Seek for it in the heart of the flame.
+Wouldst thou gain knowledge of power?
+Seek ye it in the heart of the flame.
+Wouldst be one with the heart of the flame?
+Seek then within thine own hidden flame.
+
+Many the times spoke THEY to me,
+teaching me wisdom not of the world;
+showing me ever new paths to brightness;
+teaching me wisdom brought from above.
+Giving knowledge of operation,
+learning of LAW, the order of ALL.
+
+Spoke to me again, the Seven, saying:
+From far beyond time are WE, come, O man,
+Traveled WE from beyond SPACE-TIME,
+aye, from the place of Infinity's end.
+When ye and all of thy brethren were formless,
+formed forth were WE from the order of ALL.
+Not as men are WE,
+though once WE, too, were as men.
+Out of the Great Void were WE formed forth
+in order by LAW.
+For know ye that which is formed
+truly is formless, having form only to thine eyes.
+
+And again, unto me spoke the Seven, saying:
+Child of the LIGHT, O THOTH, art thou,
+free to travel the bright path upward
+until at last ALL ONES become ONE
+
+Forth were WE formed after our order:
+THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT--NINE.
+Know ye that these are the numbers of cycles
+that WE descend from unto man.
+Each having here a duty to fulfill;
+each having here a force to control.
+
+Yet are we ONE with the SOUL of our cycle.
+Yet are WE, too, seeking a goal.
+Far beyond man's conception,
+Infinity extends into a greater than ALL.
+There, in a time that is yet not a time,
+we shall ALL become ONE
+with a greater than ALL.
+Time and space are moving in circles.
+Know ye their law, and ye too, shall be free.
+Aye, free shall ye be to move through the cycles--
+pass the guardians that dwell at the door.
+
+Then to me spoke HE of NINE saying:
+Aeons and aeons have I existed,
+knowing not LIFE and tasting not death.
+For know ye. O man, that far in the future,
+life and death shall be one with the ALL.
+
+Each so perfected by balancing the other
+that neither exists in the Oneness of ALL.
+In men of this cycle, the life force is rampant,
+but life in its growth becomes one with them ALL.
+
+Here, I manifest in this your cycle,
+but yet am I there in your future of time.
+Yet to me, time exists not,
+for in my world time exists not,
+for formless are WE.
+Life have WE not but yet have existence,
+fuller and greater and freer than thee.
+
+Man is a flame bound to a mountain,
+but WE in our cycle shall ever be free.
+Know ye, O man, that when ye have progressed
+into the cycle that lengthen above,
+life itself will pass to the darkness
+and only the essence of Soul shall remain.
+
+Then to me spoke the LORD of the EIGHT saying:
+All that ye know is but part of little.
+Not as yet have ye touched on the Great.
+Far out in space where LIGHT beings supreme,
+came I into the LIGHT.
+Formed was I also but not as ye are.
+
+Body of Light was my formless form formed.
+Know I not LIFE and know I not DEATH,
+yet master am I of all that exists.
+Seek ye to find the path through the barriers.
+Travel the road that leads to the LIGHT.
+
+Spoke again to me the NINE saying:
+Seek ye to find the path to beyond.
+Not impossible is it to grow
+to a consciousness above.
+For when TWO have become ONE
+and ONE has become the ALL,
+know ye the barrier has lifted,
+and ye are made free of the road.
+Grow thou from form to the formless.
+Free may thou be of the road.
+
+Thus, through ages I listened,
+learning the way to the ALL.
+Now Lift I my thoughts to the ALL-THING.
+List ye and hear when it calls.
+
+O LIGHT, all prevading,
+One with ALL and ALL with ONE,
+flow thou to me through the channel.
+Enter thou so that I may be free.
+Make me One with the ALL-SOUL,
+shining from the blackness of night.
+Free let me be of all space-time,
+free from the Veil of the night.
+I, a child of LIGHT, command:
+Free from the darkness to be.
+
+Formless am I to the Light-Soul,
+formless yet shining with light.
+Know I the bonds of the darkness
+must shatter and fall before light.
+
+Now give I this wisdom.
+Free may ye be, O man,
+living in light and in brightness.
+Turn not they face from the Light.
+Thy soul dwells in realms of brightness.
+Ye are a child of the Light.
+
+Turn thy thoughts inward not outward.
+Find thou the Light-Soul within.
+Know that thou art the MASTER.
+All else is brought from within.
+Grow thou to realms of brightness.
+Hold thou thy thought on the Light.
+Know thou art one with the Cosmos,
+a flame and a Child of the Light.
+
+Now to thee gave I warning:
+Let not the thought turn away.
+Know that the brightness
+flows through thy body for aye.
+Turn not to the DARK-BROTHERS
+that come from the BROTHERS OF BLACK.
+But keep thine eyes ever lifted,
+thy soul in tune with the Light.
+
+Take ye this wisdom and heed it.
+List to my Voice and obey.
+Follow the pathway to brightness,
+and thou shall be ONE with the way.
