he, too, is a Sun of the Light.
|
Backward then HE led me into the Light
|
of the hall of the Light.
|
Knelt I then before the great Masters,
|
Lords of ALL from the cycles above.
|
Spoke HE then with words of great power saying:
|
Thou hast been made free of the Halls of Amenti.
|
Choose thou thy work among the children of men.
|
Then spoke I:
|
O, great master,
|
let me be a teacher of men,
|
leading then onward and upward until they,
|
too, are lights among men;
|
freed from the veil of the night that surrounds them,
|
flaming with light that shall shine among men.
|
Spoke to me then the voice:
|
Go, as yet will. So be it decreed.
|
Master are ye of your destiny,
|
free to take or reject at will.
|
Take ye the power, take ye the wisdom.
|
Shine as a light among the children of men.
|
Upward then, led me the Dweller.
|
Dwelt I again among children of men,
|
teaching and showing some of my wisdom;
|
Sun of the Light, a fire among men.
|
Now again I tread the path downward,
|
seeking the light in the darkness of night.
|
Hold ye and keep ye, preserve my record,
|
guide shall it be to the children of men.
|
I, Thoth, the Atlantean,
|
give of my wisdom,
|
give of my knowledge,
|
give of my power.
|
Freely I give to the children of men.
|
Give that they, too, might have wisdom
|
to shine through the world from the veil of the night.
|
Wisdom is power and power is wisdom,
|
one with each other, perfecting the whole.
|
Be thou not proud, O man, in thy wisdom.
|
Discourse with the ignorant as well as the wise.
|
If one comes to thee full of knowledge,
|
listen and heed, for wisdom is all.
|
Keep thou not silent when evil is spoken for Truth
|
like the sunlight shines above all.
|
He who over-steppeth the Law shall be punished,
|
for only through Law comes the freedom of men.
|
Cause thou not fear for fear is a bondage,
|
a fetter that binds the darkness to men.
|
Follow thine heart during thy lifetime.
|
Do thou more than is commanded of thee.
|
When thou hast gained riches,
|
follow thou thine heart,
|
for all these are of no avail if
|
thine heart be weary.
|
Diminish thou not the time of
|
following thine heart.
|
It is abhorred of the soul.
|
They that are guided go not astray,
|
but they that are lost cannot find a straight path.
|
If thou go among men, make for thyself,
|
Love, the beginning and end of the heart.
|
If one cometh unto thee for council,
|
let him speak freely,
|
that the thing for which he hath
|
come to thee may be done.
|
If he hesitates to open his heart to thee,
|
it is because thou, the judge, doeth the wrong.
|
Repeat thou not extravagant speech,
|
neither listen thou to it,
|
for it is the utterance of one
|
not in equilibrium.
|
Speak thou not of it,
|
so that he before thee may know wisdom.
|
Silence is of great profit.
|
An abundance of speech profiteth nothing.
|
Exalt not thine heart above the children of men,
|
lest it be brought lower than the dust.
|
If thou be great among men,
|
be honoured for knowledge and gentleness.
|
If thou seeketh to know the nature of a friend,
|
ask not his companion,
|
but pass a time alone with him.
|
Debate with him,
|
testing his heart by his words and his bearing.
