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
