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. |
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 |
