+Hear ye and list ye, O children of Khem,
+to the words that I give that shall bring ye to the Light.
+Ye know, O men, that I knew your fathers,
+aye, your fathers in a time long ago.
+Deathless have I been through all the ages,
+living among ye since your knowledge began.
+
+Leading ye upward to the Light of the Great Soul
+have I ever striven,
+drawing ye from out of the darkness of night.
+
+Know ye, O people amongst whom I walk,
+that I, Thoth, have all of the knowledge
+and all of the wisdom known, to man since the ancient days.
+Keeper have I been of the secrets of the great race,
+holder of the key that leads into life.
+Bringer up have I been to ye, O my children,
+even from the darkness of the Ancient of Days.
+List ye now to the words of my wisdom.
+List ye now to the message I bring.
+Hear ye now the words I give thee, and
+ye shall be raised from the darkness to Light.
+
+Far in the past, when first I came to thee,
+found I thee in caves of rocks.
+Lifted I thee by my power and wisdom
+until thou didst shine as men among men.
+Aye, found I thee without any knowing.
+Only a little were ye raised beyond beasts.
+Fanned I ever the spark of thy consciousness
+until at last ye flamed as men.
+
+Now shall I speak to thee knowledge ancient
+beyond the thought of thy race.
+Know ye that we of the Great Race
+had and have knowledge that is more than man's.
+Wisdom we gained from the star-born races,
+wisdom and knowledge far beyond man.
+Down to us had descended the masters of wisdom
+as far beyond us as I am from thee.
+List ye now while I give ye wisdom.
+Use it and free thou shalt be.
+
+Know ye that in the pyramid I builded are the Keys
+that shall show ye the Way into life.
+Aye, draw ye a line from the great image I builded,
+to the apex of the pyramid, built as a gateway.
+Draw ye another opposite in the same angle and direction.
+Dig ye and find that which I have hidden.
+There shall ye find the underground entrance to
+the secrets hidden before ye were men.
+
+Tell ye I now of the mystery of cycles
+that move in movements that are strange to the finite,
+for infinite are they beyond knowledge of man.
+Know ye that there are nine of the cycles;
+aye, nine above and fourteen below,
+moving in harmony to the place of joining
+that shall exist in the future of time.
+Know ye that the Lords of the Cycles
+are units of consciousness sent from the others to unify
+This with the All.
+Highest are They of the consciousness
+of all the Cycles, working in harmony with the Law.
+Know They that in time all will be perfected,
+having none above and none below, but all One
+in a perfected Infinity, a harmony of all in the Oneness of All.
+
+Deep neath the Earth surface in the Halls of Amenti
+sit the Seven, the Lords of the Cycles,
+aye, and another, the Lord from below.
+Yet know thee that in Infinity there is
+neither above nor below.
+But ever there is and ever shall be
+Oneness of All when all is complete.
+Oft have I stood before the Lords of the All.
+Oft at the fount of their wisdom have drunken and
+filled both my body and Soul with their Light.
+
+Spake they to me and told me of cycles
+and the Law that gives them the means to exist.
+Aye, spake to me the Lord of the Nine saying:
+O, Thoth, great are ye among Earth children,
+but mysteries exist of which ye know not.
+Ye know that ye came from a space-time below
+this and know ye shall travel to a space-time beyond.
+But little ye know of the mysteries within them,
+little ye know of the wisdom beyond. Know ye that
+ye as a whole in this consciousness
+are only a cell in the process of growth.
+
+The consciousness below thee is ever-expanding
+in different ways from those known to thee.
+Aye, it, though in space-time below thee,
+is ever growing in ways that are different from
+those that were part of the ways of thine own.
+For know that it grows as a result of thy growth
+but not in the same way that thou didst grow.
+The growth that thou had and have in the present
+have brought into being a cause and effect.
+No consciousness follows the path of those before it,
+else all would be repetition and vain.
+Each consciousness in the cycle it exists in
+follows its own path to the ultimate goal.
+Each plays its part in the Plan of the Cosmos.
+Each plays its part in the ultimate end.
+The farther the cycle, the greater its
+knowledge and ability to blend the Law of the whole.
+
+Know ye, that ye in the cycles below us
+are working the minor parts of the Law,
+while we of the cycle that extends to Infinity
+take of the striving and build greater Law.
+
+Each has his own part to play in the cycles.
+Each has his work to complete in his way.
+The cycle below thee is yet not below thee
+but only formed for a need that exists.
+For know ye that the fountain of wisdom
+that sends forth the cycles is eternally
+seeking new powers to gain.
+Ye know that knowledge is gained only by practice,
+and wisdom comes forth only from knowledge,
+and thus are the cycles created by Law.
+Means are they for the gaining of knowledge
+for the Plane of Law that is the Source of the All.
+
+The cycle below is not truly below but only
+different in space and in time.
+The consciousness there is working and
+testing lesser things than those ye are.
+And know, just as ye are working on greater,
+so above ye are those who are also working
+as ye are on yet other laws.
+The difference that exists between the cycles
+is only in ability to work with the Law.
+We, who have being in cycles beyond thee,
+are those who first came forth from the
+Source and have in the passage through
+time-space gained ability to use
+Laws of the Greater that are far beyond
+the conception of man.
+Nothing there is that is really below thee
+but only a different operation of Law.
+
+Look thee above or look thee below,
+the same shall ye find.
+For all is but part of the Oneness
+that is at the Source of the Law.
+The consciousness below thee is
+part thine own as we are a part of thine.
+
+Ye, as a child had not the knowledge
+that came to ye when ye became a man.
+Compare ye the cycles to man in his journey
+from birth unto death,
+and see in the cycle below thee the child
+with the knowledge he has;
+and see ye yourself as the child grown older,
+advancing in knowledge as time passes on.
+See ye, We, also, the child grown to manhood
+with the knowledge and wisdom that came
+with the years.
+So also, O Thoth, are the cycles of consciousness,
+children in different stages of growth,
+yet all from the one Source, the Wisdom,
+and all to the Wisdom returning again.
+
+Ceased then He from speaking and sat
+in the silence that comes to the Lords.
+Then again spake He unto me, saying:
+Oh Thoth, long have We sat in Amenti,
+guarding the flame of life in the Halls.
+Yet know, we are still part of our
+Cycles with our Vision reaching unto them and beyond.
+Aye, know we that of all,
+nothing else matters excepting the growth
+we can gain with our Soul.
+Know we the flesh is fleeting.
+The things men count great are nothing to us.
+The things we seek are not of the body
+but are only the perfected state of the Soul.
+When ye as men can learn that nothing but
+progress of Soul can count in the end,
+then truly ye are free from all bondage,
+free to work in a harmony of Law.
+
+Know, O man, ye should aim at perfection,
+for only thus can ye attain to the goal.
+Though ye should know that nothing is perfect,
+yet it should be thy aim and thy goal.
+Ceased again the voice of the Nine,
+and into my consciousness the words had sunk.
+Now, seek I ever more wisdom
+that I may be perfect in Law with the All.
+
+Soon go I down to the Halls of Amenti
+to live beneath the cold flower of life.
+Ye whom I have taught shall nevermore see me.
+Yet live I forever in the wisdom I taught.
+
+All that man is is because of his wisdom.
+All that he shall be is the result of his cause.
+
+List ye, now to my voice and become
+greater than common man.
+Lift thine eyes upward,
+let Light fill thy being,
+be thou ever Children of Light.
+Only by effort shall ye grow upward to
+the plane where Light is the All of the All.
+Be ye the master of all that surrounds thee.
+Never be mastered by the effects of thy life.
+Create then ever more perfect causes
+and in time shalt thou be a Sun of the Light
+
+Free, let thine soul soar ever upward,
+free from the bondage and fetters of night.
+Lift thine eyes to the Sun in the sky-space.
+For thee, let it be a symbol of life.
+Know that thou art the Greater Light,
+perfect in thine own sphere,
+when thou art free.
+Look not ever into the blackness.
+Lift up thine eyes to the space above.
+Free let thine Light flame upward
+and shalt thou be a Child of the Light.
