Hark you, O man, and listen to my Voice. Open your mind-space and drink of my wisdom. Dark is the pathway of LIFE that you travel. Many the pitfalls that lie in your way. Seek you ever to gain greater wisdom. Attain and it shall be light on your way.
Open your SOUL, O man, to the Cosmic and let it flow in as one with your SOUL. LIGHT is eternal and darkness is fleeting. Seek you ever, O man, for the LIGHT. Know you that ever as Light fills your being, darkness for you shall soon disappear.
Open your soul to the BROTHERS of BRIGHTNESS. Let them enter and fill you with LIGHT. Lift up thine eyes to the LIGHT of the Cosmos. Keep you ever your face to the goal. Only by gaining the light of all wisdom, art you one with the Infinite goal. Seek you ever the Oneness eternal. Seek you ever the Light of the goal.
Light is infinite and Light is finite, separate only by darkness in man. Seek you to rend the Veil of the Darkness. Bring you together the Light into One.
Hear you, O man, listen to my Voice singing the song of Light and of Life.
Throughout all space, Light is prevalent, encompassing ALL with its banners of flame. Seek you forever in the Veil of the Darkness, somewhere you shall surely find Light. Hidden and buried, lost to man's knowledge, deep in the finite the Infinite exists. Lost, but existing, flowing through all things, living in ALL is the INFINITE BRAIN.
In all space, there is only ONE wisdom. Though seeming divided, it is ONE in the ONE; All that exists comes forth from the LIGHT, and the LIGHT comes forth from the ALL.
Everything created is based upon ORDER: LAW rules the space where the INFINITE dwells. Forth from equilibrium came the great cycles, moving in
harmony toward Infinity's end.
Know you, O man, that far in the space-time, INFINITY itself shall pass into change. Hear you and listen to the Voice of Wisdom: Know that ALL is of ALL evermore. Know that through time you may pursue wisdom and find ever more light on the way. Aye, you shalt find that ever receding, your goal shall elude you from day unto day.
Long time ago, in the HALLS of AMENTI, I, Thoth, stood before the LORDS of the cycles. Might, Your in their aspects of power; might, THEY in the wisdom unveiled.
Led by the Dweller, first did I see them. But afterwards free was I of their presence, free to enter their conclave at will. Often did I journey down the dark pathway unto the HALL where the LIGHT ever glows.
Learned I of the Masters of cycles, wisdom brought from the cycles above us, knowledge brought from INFINITY'S ALL. Many the questions I asked of the LORDS of the cycles. Great was the wisdom they gave unto me. Now unto you I give of this wisdom, drawn from the flame of Infinity's fire.
Deep in the DARK HALLS sit the Seven, units of consciousness from cycles
above. Manifest THEY in this cycle as guides of man to the knowledge of ALL. Seven are they, mighty in power, speaking these words through me to men. Time after time, stood I before them listening to words that came not with sound.
Once said THEY unto me: "O man, wouldst you gain wisdom? Seek for it in the heart of the flame. Wouldst you gain knowledge of power? Seek you it in the heart of the flame. Wouldst be one with the heart of the flame? Seek then within thine own hidden flame."
Many the times spoke THEY to me, teaching me wisdom not of the world;
showing me ever new paths to brightness; teaching me wisdom brought from above. Giving knowledge of operation, learning of LAW, the order of ALL.
Spoke to me again, the Seven, saying: "From far beyond time are WE, come, O man. Traveled WE from beyond the SPACE-TIME, aye, from the place of Infinity's end. When you and all of your brethren were formless, formed forth were WE from the order of ALL. Not as men are WE though once WE, too, were as men. Out of the Great Void were WE formed forth in order and by LAW. For know you that that which is formed truly is formless, having form only to thine eyes."
And again, unto me spoke the Seven, saying: "Child of the LIGHT, O THOTH, art you, free to travel the bright path upward until at the last ALL ONES become ONE.
Forth were WE formed after our order: THREE, FOUR, FIVE and SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT - NINE. Know yet that these are the number of cycles that WE descend from unto man. Each having here a duty to fulfill; and having here a force to control. Yet are we ONE with the SOUL of our cycle. Yet are WE, too, seeking a goal. Far beyond man's conception, Infinity extends into a greater than ALL. There, in a time that is yet not a time, we shall ALL become ONE with a greater than ALL. Time and space are moving in circles. Know you their law, and you, too, shall be free. Aye, free shall you be to move through the cycles - pass the guardians that dwell at the door."
Then to me spoke HE of NINE, saying: "Aeons and aeons have I existed, knowing not LIFE and tasting not death. For know you, O man, that far in the future, life and death shall be one with the ALL. Each so perfected by balancing the other that neither exists in the Oneness of ALL. In men of this cycle, the life force is rampant, but life in its growth becomes one with the ALL. Here, I manifest in this your cycle, but yet am I there in your future of time. Yet to me, time exists not, for in my world time exists not, for formless are WE. Life have WE not but yet have existence, fuller and greater and freer than you.
Man is a flame bound to a mountain, but WE in our cycle shall ever be free. Know you, O man, that when you have progressed into the cycles that lengthen above, life itself will pass to the darkness and only the essence of Soul shall remain."
Then to me spoke the LORD of the EIGHT saying: "All that you know is but part of little. Not as yet have you touched on the Great. Far out in space where LIGHT reigns supreme, came I into the LIGHT. Formed was I also but not as you are.
Body of Light was my formless form formed. Know I not LIFE and know I not DEATH, yet master am I of all that exists. Seek you to find the path through the barriers. Travel the road that leads to the LIGHT."
Spoke again to me the NINE saying: "Seek you to find the path to beyond. Not impossible is it to grow to a consciousness above. For when TWO have become ONE and ONE has become the ALL, know you the barrier has lifted, and yet are made free of the road. Grow you from form to the formless. Free may you be of the road."
Thus, through ages I listened, learning the way to the ALL. Now lift I my thought to the ALL-THING. Listen you and hear when it calls.
"O LIGHT, all pervading, One with ALL and ALL with ONE, flow you to me through the channel. Enter you so that I may be free. Make me One with the ALL-SOUL, shining from the blackness of night. Free let me be of all space-time, free from the Veil of the night. I, a child of the LIGHT, command: Free from the darkness to be."
Formless am I to the Light-Soul, formless yet shining with light. Know I the bonds of the darkness must shatter and fall before light.
Now give I this wisdom. Free may you be, O man, living in light and in brightness. Turn not your face from the Light. Your soul dwells in realms of brightness. You are a child of the Light.
Turn your thoughts inward not outward. Find you the Light-Soul within. Know that you art the MASTER. All else is brought from within. Grow you to realms of brightness. Hold you your thought on the Light. Know you art one with the Cosmos, a flame and a Child of the Light.
Now to you gave I warning: Let not your thought turn away. Know that the brightness flows through your body for aye. Turn not to the DARK-BRIGHTNESS that comes from the BROTHERS of BLACK. But keep thine eyes ever lifted, your soul in tune with the Light.
Take you this wisdom and heed it. Listen to my Voice and obey. Follow the pathway to brightness, and you shalt be ONE with the way.
