Once in a time long forgotten, I, Thoth, opened the doorway, penetrated into other
spaces and learned of the secrets concealed. Deep in the essence of matter are many
mysteries concealed.
Nine are the interlocked dimensions, and Nine are the cycles of space. Nine are the
diffusions of consciousness, and Nine are the worlds within worlds. Aye, Nine are the
Lords and the cycles that come from above and below.
Space is filled with concealed ones, for space is divided by time. Seek ye the key to
the time-space, and ye shall unlock the gate. Know ye that throughout the time-space
consciousness surely exists. Though from our knowledge it is hidden, yet still it forever
exists.
The key to worlds within thee are found only within. For man is the gateway of mystery and the key that is One within One.
Seek ye within the circle. Use the Word I shall give. Open the gateway within thee,
and sure thou, too, shalt live. Man, ye think that ye liveth, but know it is life within
death. For as sure as ye are bound to your body, for you no life exists. Only the Soul is
space-free, has life that is really a life. All else is only a bondage, a fetter from which to
be free.
Think not that man is earth-born, though come from the earth he may be. Man is a
light-born spirit. But, without knowing, he can never be free. Darkness fetters the Soul.
Only the one who is seeking may ever hope to be free.
Shadows around thee are falling. Darkness fills all the spaces. Shine forth, O Light of
the man-soul. Fill thou the darkness of space. Ye are a Sun of the Great Light. Remember and ye shall be free. Stay not thou in the shadows. Spring forth from the darkness of
night. Light, let thy Soul be, O Sun-Born, filled with glory of Light, freed from the bonds
of darkness, a Soul that is One with the Light.
Thou art the key to all wisdom. Within thee is all time and space. Live not in bondage
to darkness. Free thou thy Light-form from night.
Great Light that fills all the Cosmos, flow thou fully to man. Make of his body a lighttorch that shall never be quenched among men.
Long in the past, sought I wisdom, knowledge not known to man. Far to the past I
traveled into the space where time began. Sought I ever new knowledge to add to the
wisdom I know. Yet only, I found, did the future hold the key to the wisdom I sought.
Down to the Halls of Amenti I journeyed, the greater knowledge to seek. Asked of
the Lords of the Cycles, the way to the wisdom I sought. Asked the Lords this question:
Where is the source of ALL? Answered, in tones that were mighty, the voice of the Lord
of the Nine: Free thou thy Soul from thy body and come forth with me to the Light.
Forth I came from my body, a glittering flame in the night. Stood I before the Lords,
bathed in the fire of Life. Seized was I then by a force, great beyond knowledge of man.
Cast was I to the Abyss through spaces unknown to man.
Saw I moulding of Order from the chaos and angles of night. Saw I the Light spring
from Order and heard the voice of the Light. Saw I the flame of the Abyss, casting forth
Order and Light. Saw Order spring out of chaos. Saw Light giving forth Life.
Then heard I the voice: Hear thou and understand. The flame is the source of all
things, containing all things in potentiality. The Order that sent forth light is the Word
and from the Word comes Life and the existence of all. And again spoke the voice say-
31
ing: The Life in thee is the Word. Find thou the Life within thee, and have powers to use
of the Word.
Long I watched the Light-flame, pouring forth from the Essence of Fire, realizing that
Life is but Order and that man is one with the fire.
Back I came to my body. Stood again with the Nine, listened to the voice of the Cycles, vibrate with powers they spoke: Know ye, O Thoth, that Life is but the Word of the
Fire. The Life force ye seek before thee is but the Word in the World as a fire. Seek ye
the path to the Word and powers shall surely be thine.
Then asked I of the Nine: O Lord, show me the path. Give me the path to the wisdom. Show me the way to the Word. Answered, me then, the Lord of the Nine:
Through Order, ye shall find the way. Saw ye not that the Word came from Chaos? Saw
ye not that Light came from Fire? Look in thy life for disorder. Balance and order thy life.
Quell all the Chaos of emotions and thou shalt have order in Life. Order brought forth
from Chaos will bring thee the Word of the Source, will give thee the power of Cycles,
and make of thy Soul a force that free will extend through the ages, a perfected Sun
from the Source.
Listened I to the voice and deep sank the words in my heart. For ever have I sought
for order that I might draw on the word. Know ye that he who attains it must ever in Order be. For use of the Word through disorder has never and can never be.
Take ye these words, O man. As part of thy life, let them be. Seek thee to conquer
disorder, and One with the Word thou shalt be.
Put forth thy effort in gaining Light on the pathway of Life. Seek to be One with the
Sun-State. Seek to be solely the Light. Hold thou thy thought on the Oneness of Light
with the body of man. Know that all is Order from Chaos born into Light.
