Secret

Listen O Man, to the deep hidden wisdom, lost to the world since the time of the Dwellers; lost and forgotten by men of this age. Know that Earth is a Portal, guarded by powers unknown to man. Yet, the Dark Lords hide the entrance that leads to the Heaven-born land. Know that the way to the sphere of Arulu is guarded by barriers opened only to Light-born man. Upon Earth, I am the holder of the keys to the gates of the Sacred Land. Command I, by the powers beyond me, leaving of the keys unto the world of man. Before I depart, I give you the secrets of how you may rise from the bondage of darkness, cast off the fetters of flesh, which have you bound, and rise from the darkness into the Light. Know that the soul must be cleansed of darkness, before you may enter the Portals Of Light. I established among you the Mysteries, so the Secrets may always be found. Though man falls into darkness, always the Light will shine as a guide; hidden in darkness, veiled in symbols, always the way to the portal will be found. 

Man in the future will deny the mysteries, but the Seeker will always find the Way. Now I command you to maintain my secrets, giving only to those you have tested, that the pure be not corrupted, that the power of Truth may prevail. Listen now to the unveiling of Mystery. Look unto the symbols of Mystery I give. Make of it a religion for only thus will its essence remain. There are two regions between this life and the Great One, traveled by the Souls who depart from this Earth; Duat, the home of the powers of illusion; and Sekhet Hetspet, the House of the Gods. Osiris, the symbol of the guard of the portal, who turns back the souls of unworthy men. Beyond lies the sphere of the heaven-born powers, Arulu, the land where the Great Ones have passed. There, when my work among men has been finished, will I join the Great Ones of my Ancient home. Seven are the mansions of the house of the Mighty; Three guards the portal of each house from the darkness; Fifteen are the ways that lead unto Duat. Twelve are the houses of the Lords of Illusion, facing four ways, each of them different. Forty and Two are the great powers, judging the Dead who seek for the portal. Four are the Sons of Horus, Two are the Guards of East and West—Isis, the mother who pleads for her children, Queen of the moon, reflecting the Sun. 

Ba is the Essence, living forever! Ka is this Shadow which man knows as Life. Ba comes not until Ka is incarnate. These are mysteries to be preserved through the ages. Keys are they of Life and of Death. Hear now the mystery of mysteries, learn of the circle beginningless and endless; the form of He who is One and in all. Listen and hear it, go forth and apply it, thus will you travel the way that I go. Mystery in Mystery, yet clear to the Light-born; the Secret of all I will now reveal. I will declare a secret to the initiated, but let the door be wholly shut against the profane. Three is the mystery, come from the Great One. Hear, and Light on will dawn upon you. In the primeval, dwell three unities. Other than these, none can exist. These are the equilibrium and source of creation: One God, One Truth, One Freedom. Three come forth from the three of the balance: All Life, All Good, All Power. Three are the qualities of God in his Light-Home: Infinite Power, Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Love. Three are the powers given to the Masters: To transmute evil, assist good, use discrimination. Three are the things inevitable for God to perform: Manifest Power, Wisdom & Love. 

Three are the powers creating all things: Divine Love possessed of perfect knowledge, Divine Wisdom knowing all possible means, Divine Power possessed by the unity of Divine Love and Wisdom. Three are the circles of existence: The circle of Light where dwells nothing but God, and only God can traverse it; the circle of Chaos where all things by nature arise from death; the Circle of awareness, from where all things in this life spring. All things animate are of three states of existence: chaos or death, liberty in humanity and felicity of Heaven. Three necessities control all things: beginning in the Great Deep, the circle of chaos, plenitude in Heaven. Three are the paths of the Soul: Man, Liberty, Light. Three are the hindrances: lack of endeavor to obtain knowledge; non-attachment to god; attachment to evil. In man, the three are manifest. Three are the Kings Of Power within. Three are the chambers of the mysteries, found yet not found in the body of man. Hear now of one who is liberated, freed from the bondage of life into Light. Unto one knowing it, the source of all worlds shall be opened. Yeah, even the Gates of Arulu shall not be barred. Heed O Human, one who enters heaven. For if you be not worthy, better it be to fall into the fire; while celestials pass through the pure flame, at every revolution of the heavens, they bathe in the fountains of Light. 

Listen O Man, to this mystery: Long in the past before you were man-born, I dwelled in Ancient Atlantis. There in the Temple, I drank of the Wisdom poured as a fountain of Light from the Dweller. I was given the key to ascend to the Presence Of Light in the Great World. I stood before the Holy One enthroned in the Flower Of Fire. He was veiled by lightnings of darkness, else my Soul'd been shattered by His Glory. From the feet of his diamond-like Throne, rolled four rivers of flame; from his footstool rolled the channels of clouds unto the world of man. The Hall was filled with the Spirits Of Heaven; a wonder of wonders was the Starry Palace. Above the sky, like a rainbow of Fire and Sunlight, were formed the spirits. Sang they the glories of the Holy One. Then from the midst of the Fire came a voice: “Behold the Glory of the First Cause.” I beheld that Light, high above all darkness, reflected in my own being. I attained, as it were, to the God of all Gods, the Spirit-Sun, the Sovereign of the Sun Spheres. Again came the Voice: “There is one, even the First, who hath no beginning, who hath no end; who hath made all things, who governs all, who is good, who is just, who illumines, who sustains.” Then from the throne, there poured a great radiance, surrounding and lifting my soul by its power. 

Swiftly I moved through the spaces of Heaven, I was shown the mystery of mysteries, even the Secret, the Heart Of The Cosmos. I was carried to the land of Arulu and stood before the Lords in their Houses. They opened the Doorway, so I might glimpse the primeval chaos. My soul shuttered at the vision of horror, and shrank back from the ocean of darkness. Then I saw the need for the barriers, I truly saw the need for the Lords Of Arulu! Only they with their Infinite Balance could stand in the way of inpouring chaos; only they guarded God’s Creation! Then I passed around the Circle Of Eight, I saw all the souls who had conquered the darkness; I saw the splendor of Light where they dwelled. I longed to take my place in their circle, but I also longed for the way I had chosen, when I stood in the Halls of Amenti and made my choice to do the work I would do. I passed from the Halls of Arulu, down to the earth space where my body lay. I arose from the earth where I rested and stood before the Dweller. I gave my pledge to renounce my Great Right until my work on Earth was completed; until the Age Of Darkness be past. Listen O Man, to the words I shall give you, in them shall ye find the Essence Of Life. Before I return to the Halls of Amenti, you shall be taught the Secret Of Secrets; the words to show how you too may arise to the Light. Preserve them and guard them, hide them in symbols, so the profane will laugh and renounce.

In every land form the mysteries; make the way hard for the seeker to tread. Thus will the weak and the wavering be rejected. Thus will the secrets be hidden and guarded, held till the time when the wheel shall be turned. Through the dark ages, waiting and watching, My Spirit shall remain in the deep hidden land. When one has passed all the trials of the outer, I may be summoned by the Key you hold. Then will I, the Initiator answer from the Halls of the Gods Of Amenti! Then will I receive the initiate and give him words of power. Hearken and remember these words of warning: bring not to me one lacking in wisdom, impure in heart or weak in his purpose. Else I will withdraw from you power to summon me from the place of my sleeping. Go forth and conquer the element of darkness! Exalt in thy nature the Essence Of Light. Now go forth and summon the brothers, that I may impart the wisdom to light the path, for when my presence is no more. Come to the chamber beneath my temple and eat not food until three days are past. There will I give the Essence Of Wisdom, so that with power You may shine among men. There will I give You the secrets so that you too, may rise to the Heavens—God-men in Truth as even in essence you are. Depart now and leave, while I summon those you know of, but as yet know not.
