+List ye, O Man, to the deep hidden wisdom,
+lost to the world since the time of the Dwellers,
+lost and forgotten by men of this age.
+
+Know ye this Earth is but a portal,
+guarded by powers unknown to man.
+Yet, the Dark Lords hide the entrance
+that leads to the Heaven-born land.
+Know ye, the way to the sphere of Arulu
+is guarded by barriers opened only to Light-born man.
+
+Upon Earth, I am the holder of the keys
+to the gates of the Sacred Land.
+Command I, by the powers beyond me,
+to leave the keys to the world of man.
+
+Before I depart, I give ye the Secrets of how
+ye may rise from the bondage of darkness,
+cast off the fetters of flesh that have bound ye,
+rise from the darkness into the Light.
+
+Know ye, the soul must be cleansed of its darkness,
+ere ye may enter the portals of Light.
+Thus, I established among ye the Mysteries
+so that the Secrets may always be found.
+
+Aye, though man may fall into darkness,
+always the Light will shine as a guide.
+Hidden in darkness, veiled in symbols,
+always the way to the portal will be found.
+Man in the future will deny the mysteries
+but always the way the seeker will find.
+
+Now I command ye to maintain my secrets,
+giving only to those ye have tested,
+so that the pure may not be corrupted,
+so that the power of Truth may prevail.
+
+List ye now to the unveiling of Mystery.
+List to the symbols of Mystery I give.
+Make of it a religion for only thus will its essence remain.
+
+Regions there are two between
+this life and the Great One,
+traveled by the Souls
+who depart from this Earth;
+Duat, the home of the powers of illusion;
+Sekhet Hetspet, the House of the Gods.
+Osiris, the symbol of the guard of the portal,
+who turns back the souls of unworthy men.
+
+Beyond lies the sphere of the heaven-born powers,
+Arulu, the land where the Great Ones have passed.
+There, when my work among men has been finished,
+will I join the Great Ones of my Ancient home.
+
+Seven are the mansions of the house of the Mighty;
+Three guards the portal of each house from the darkness;
+Fifteen the ways that lead to Duat.
+Twelve are the houses of the Lords of Illusion,
+facing four ways, each of them different.
+
+Forty and Two are the great powers,
+judging the Dead who seek for the portal.
+Four are the Sons of Horus,
+Two are the Guards of East and West of Isis,
+the mother who pleads for her children, Queen of the Moon,
+reflecting the Sun.
+
+Ba is the Essence, living forever.
+Ka is the Shadow that man knows as life.
+Ba cometh not until Ka is incarnate.
+These are mysteries to preserve through the ages.
+
+Keys are they of life and of Death.
+Hear ye now the mystery of mysteries:
+learn of the circle beginningless and endless,
+the form of He who is One and in all.
+Listen and hear it, go forth and apply it,
+thus will ye travel the way that I go.
+
+Mystery in Mystery,
+yet clear to the Light-born,
+the Secret of all I now will reveal.
+I will declare a secret to the initiated,
+but let the door be wholly shut against the profane.
+
+Three is the mystery, come from the great one.
+Hear, and Light on thee will dawn.
+
+In the primeval, dwell three unities.
+Other than these, none can exist.
+These are the equilibrium, source of creation:
+one God, one Truth, one point of freedom.
+
+Three come forth from the three of the balance:
+all life, all good, all power.
+
+Three are the qualities of God in his Light-home:
+Infinite power, Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Love.
+
+Three are the powers given to the Masters:
+To transmute evil, assist good, use discrimination.
+
+Three are the things inevitable for God to perform:
+Manifest power, wisdom and love.
+
+Three are the powers creating all things:
+Divine Love possessed of perfect knowledge,
+Divine Wisdom knowing all possible means,
+Divine Power possessed by the joint will of
+Divine Love and Wisdom.
+
+Three are the circles (states) of existence:
+The circle of Light where dwells nothing but God,
+and only God can traverse it;
+the circle of Chaos where all things
+by nature arise from death;
+the Circle of awareness where
+all things spring from life.
+
+All things animate are of three states of existence:
+chaos or death, liberty in humanity and felicity of Heaven.
+
+Three necessities control all things:
+beginning in the Great Deep, the circle of chaos, plenitude in Heaven.
+
+Three are the paths of the Soul:
+Man, Liberty, Light.
+
+Three are the hindrances:
+lack of endeavor to obtain knowledge;
+non-attachment to god; attachment to evil.
+In man, the three are manifest.
+Three are the Kings of power within.
+Three are the chambers of the mysteries,
+found yet not found in the body of man.
+
+Hear ye now of he who is liberated,
+freed from the bondage of life into Light.
+Knowing the source of all worlds shall be open.
+Aye, even the Gates of Arulu shall not be barred.
+Yet heed, O man, who would'st enter heaven.
+If ye be not worthy,
+better it be to fall into the fire.
+Know ye the celestials pass through the pure flame.
+At every revolution of the heavens,
+they bathe in the fountains of Light.
+
+List ye, O man, to this mystery:
+Long in the past before ye were man-born,
+I dwelled in Ancient Atlantis.
+There in the Temple,
+I drank of the Wisdom,
+poured as a fountain of Light
+from the Dweller.
+
+Give the key to ascend to the
+Presence of Light in the Great world.
+Stood I before the Holy One
+enthroned in the Flower of Fire.
+Veiled was he by the lightnings of darkness,
+else my Soul by the Glory have been shattered.
+
+Forth from the feet of his Throne like the diamond,
+rolled forth four rivers of flame from his footstool,
+rolled through the channels of clouds to the Man-world.
+Filled was the hall with Spirits of Heaven.
+Wonder of wonders was the Starry palace.
+
+Above the sky, like a rainbow of Fire and Sunlight,
+were Formed the Spirits.
+Sang they the glories of the Holy One.
+Then from the midst of the Fire came a voice:
+Behold the Glory of the first Cause.
+I beheld that Light, high above all darkness,
+reflected in my own being.
+I attained, as it were, to the God of all Gods,
+the Spirit-Sun, the Sovereign of the Sun spheres.
+
+There is One, Even the First,
+who hath no beginning,
+who hath no end;
+who hath made all things,
+who govern all,
+who is good,
+who is just,
+who illumines,
+who sustains.
+
+Then from the throne, there poured a great radiance,
+surrounding and lifting my soul by its power.
+Swiftly I moved through the spaces of Heaven,
+shown was I the mystery of mysteries,
+shown the Secret heart of the cosmos.
+
+Carried was I to the land of Arulu,
+stood before the Lords in their Houses.
+
+Opened they the Doorway so I might
+glimpse the primeval chaos.
+Shuddered my soul to the vision of horror,
+shrank back my soul from the ocean of darkness.
+Then saw I the need for the barriers,
+saw the need for the Lords of Arulu..
+
+Only they with their Infinite balance could
+stand in the way of the inpouring chaos.
+Only they could guard God's creation.
+
+Then did I pass around the circle of eight.
+Saw all the souls who had conquered the darkness.
+Saw the splendor of Light where they dwelled.
+
+Longed I to take my place in their circle,
+but longed I also for the way I had chosen,
+when I stood in the Halls of Amenti
+and made my choice to the work I would do.
+
+Passed I from the Halls of Arulu
+down to the earth space where my body lay.
+Arose I from the earth where I rested.
+Stood I before the Dweller.
+
+Gave my pledge to renounce my Great
+right until my work on Earth was completed,
+until the Age of darkness be past.
+
+List ye, O man, to the words I shall give ye.
+In them shall ye find the Essence of Life.
+Before I return to the Halls of Amenti,
+taught shall ye be the Secrets of Secrets,
+how ye, too, may arise to the Light.
+
+Preserve them and guard them,
+hide them in symbols,
+so the profane will laugh and renounce.
+In every land, form ye the mysteries.
+Make the way hard for the seeker to tread.
+
+Thus will the weak and the wavering be rejected.
+Thus will the secrets be hidden and guarded,
+held till the time when the wheel shall be turned.
+
+Through the dark ages, waiting and watching,
+my Spirit shall remain in the deep hidden land.
+When one has passed all the trials of the outer,
+summon ye me by the Key that ye hold.
+
+Then will I, the Initiator, answer,
+come from the Halls of the Gods in Amenti.
+Then will I receive the initiate, give him the words of power.
+
+Hark ye, remember, these words of warning:
+bring not to me one lacking in wisdom,
+impure in heart or weak in his purpose.
+Else I will withdraw from ye your power
+to summon me from the place of my sleeping.
+
+Now go ye forth and summon thy brothers
+so that I may impart the wisdom to light thy
+path when my presence is gone.
+Come to the chamber beneath my temple.
+Eat not food until three days are past.
+
+There will I give thee the essence of wisdom
+so that with power ye may shine amongst men.
+There will I give unto thee the secrets so that
+ye, to, may rise to the
+Heavens, God-men in Truth
+as in essence ye be.
+Depart now and leave me while I summon
+those ye know of but as yet know not.
