Tablet I: The History of Thoth, The Atlantean
I, THOTH, the Atlantean, master of mysteries, keeper of records, mighty
king, magician, living from generation to generation, being about to pass into the
halls of Amenti, set down for the guidance of those that are to come after,
these records of the mighty wisdom of Great Atlantis.
In the great city of KEOR on the island of UNDAL in a time far past, I began
this incarnation. Not as the little men of the present age did the mighty
ones of Atlantis live and die, but rather from aeon to aeon did they renew their
life in the Halls of Amenti where the river of life flows eternally onward.
A hundred times ten have I descended the dark way that led into light, and
As many times have I ascended from the darkness into the light my strength and
power renewed.
Nor for a time I descend, and the men of KHEM (Khem is ancient Egypt) shall
know me no more. But in a time yet unborn will I rise again, mighty and
potent, requiring an accounting of those left behind me. Then beware, O men
of KHEM, if ye have falsely betrayed my teaching, for I shall cast ye down from
your high estate into the darkness of the caves from when ye came. Betray
not my secrets to the men of the North or the men of the South lest my curse
fall upon ye. Remember and heed my words, for surely will I return again and
require of thee that which ye guard. Aye, even from beyond time and from
beyond death will I return, rewarding or punishing as ye have requited your
truest. Great were my people in the ancient days, great beyond the
conception of the little people now around me; knowing the wisdom of old, seeking far
within the heart of infinity knowledge that belonged to Earth's youth. Wise
were we with the wisdom of the Children of Light who dwelt among us. Strong
were we with the power drawn from the eternal fire. And of all these,
greatest among the children of men was my father, THOTME, keeper of the great temple,
link between the Children of Light who dwelt within the temple and the races
of men who inhabited the ten islands. Mouthpiece, after the Three, of the
Dweller of UNAL, speaking to the Kings with the voice that must be obeyed.
Grew I there from a child into manhood, being taught by my father the elder
mysteries, until in time there grew within the fire of wisdom, until it
burst into a consuming flame. Naught desired I but the attainment of wisdom. Until
on a great day the command came from the Dweller of the Temple that I be
brought before him. Few there were among the children of men who had looked
upon that mighty face and lived, for not as the sons of men are the Children
of Light when they are not incarnate in a physical body.
Chosen was I from the sons of men, taught by the Dweller so that his
Purposes might be fulfilled, purposes yet unborn in the womb of time. Long ages I
Dwelt in the Temple, learning ever and yet ever more wisdom, until I, too,
approached the light emitted from the great fire. Taught me he, the path to
Amenti, the underworld where the great king sits upon his throne of might.
Deep I bowed in homage before the Lords of Life and the Lords of Death,
receiving as my gift the Key of Life. Free was I of the Halls of Amenti,
bound not be death to the circle of life. Far to the stars I journeyed until space
and time became as naught. Then having drunk deep of the cup of wisdom, I
looked into the hearts of men and there found I greater mysteries and was
glad. For only in the Search for Truth could my Soul be stilled and the flame
within be quenched.
Down through the ages I lived, seeing those around me taste of the cup of
death and return again in the light of life. Gradually from the Kingdoms of
Atlantis passed waves of consciousness that had been one with me, only to be
replaced by spawn of a lower star.
In obedience to the law, the word of the Master grew into flower. Downward
into the darkness turned the thoughts of the Atlanteans, Until at last in
his wrath arose from his AGWANTI, the Dweller, (this word has no English
equivalent; it means a state of detachment) speaking The Word, calling the
power. Deep in Earth's heart, the sons of Amenti heard, and hearing,
directing the changing of the flower of fire that burns eternally, changing and
shifting, using the LOGOS, until that great fire changed its direction.
Over the world then broke the great waters, drowning and sinking, changing
Earth's balance until only the Temple of Light was left standing on the
Great mountain on UNDAL still rising out of the water; some there were who were
living, saved from the rush of the fountains.
Called to me then the Master, saying: "Gather ye together my people. Take
Them by the arts ye have learned of far across the waters, until ye reach the
Land of the hairy barbarians, dwelling in caves of the desert. Follow there the
plan that yet know of."
Gathered I then my people and entered the great ship of the Master. Upward
We rose into the morning. Dark beneath us lay the Temple. Suddenly over it rose
the waters. Vanished from Earth, until the time appointed, was the great
Temple.
Fast we fled toward the sun of the morning, until beneath us lay the land of
the children of KHEM. Raging, they came with cudgels and spears lifted in
anger seeking to slay and utterly destroy the Sons of Atlantis, Then raised
I my staff and directed a ray of vibration, striking them still in their
Tracks as fragments of stone of the mountain. Then spoke I to them in words calm
And peaceful, telling them of the might of Atlantis, saying we were children of
the Sun and its messengers. Cowed I them by my display of magic-science,
until at my feet they groveled, when I released them.
Long dwelt we in the land of KHEM, long and yet long again. Until obeying
The commands of the Master, who while sleeping yet lives eternally, I sent from
Me the Sons of Atlantis, sent them in many directions, that from the womb of
Time wisdom might rise again in her children.
Long time dwelt I in the land of KHEM, doing great works by the wisdom
Within me. Upward grew into the light of knowledge the children of KHEM, watered by
the rains of my wisdom. Blasted I then a path to Amenti so that I might
retain my powers, living from age to age a Sun of Atlantis, keeping the wisdom,
preserving the records.
Great few the sons of KHEM, conquering the people around them, growing
Slowly upwards in Soul force. Now for a time I go from among them into the dark
Halls of Amenti, deep in the halls of the Earth, before the Lords of the powers,
face to face once again with the Dweller.
Raised I high over the entrance, a doorway, a gateway leading down to
Amenti. Few there would be with courage to dare it, few pass the portal to dark
Amenti. Raised over the passage, I, a mighty pyramid, using the power that
overcomes Earth force (gravity). Deep and yet deeper place I a force-house
or chamber; from it carved I a circular passage reaching almost to the great
summit. There in the apex, set I the crystal, sending the ray into the
"Time-Space," drawing the force from out of the ether, concentrating upon the
gateway to Amenti.
Other chambers I built and left vacant to all seeming, yet hidden within
Them are the keys to Amenti. He who in courage would dare the dark realms, let
Him be purified first by long fasting. Lie in the sarcophagus of stone in my
chamber. Then reveal I to him the great mysteries. Soon shall he follow to
where I shall meet him, even in the darkness of Earth shall I meet him, I,
Thoth, Lord of Wisdom, meet him and hold him and dwell with him always.
Builded I the Great Pyramid, patterned after the pyramid of earth force,
burning eternally so that it, too, might remain through the ages. In it, I
builded my knowledge of "Magic-Science" so that I might be here when again I
return from Amenti, Aye, while I sleep in the Halls of Amenti, my Soul
roaming free will incarnate, dwell among men in this form or another. (Hermes,
thrice-born.)
Emissary on Earth am I of the Dweller, fulfilling his commands so many might
be lifted. Now return I to the halls of Amenti, leaving behind me some of my
wisdom. Preserve ye and keep ye the command of the Dweller: Lift ever
upwards your eyes toward the light. Surely in time, ye are one with the Master,
surely by right ye are one with the Master, surely by right yet are one with the
ALL.
No, I depart from ye. Know my commandments, keep them and be them, and I
Will be with you, helping and guiding you into the Light.
Now before me opens the portal. Go I down in the darkness of night.
Tablet II: The Hall of Amenti
Deep in Earth's heart lie the Halls of Amenti, far 'neath the islands of
sunken Atlantis, Halls of the Dead and halls of the living, bathed in the
fire of the infinite ALL.
Far in a past time, lost in the space time, the Children of Light looked
Down on the world. Seeing the children of men in their bondage, bound by the
Force that came from beyond. Knew they that only by freedom from bondage could man
ever rise from the Earth to the Sun. Down they descended and created bodies,
taking the semblance of men as their own. The Masters of everything said
after their forming: "We are they who were formed from the space-dust, partaking
of life from the infinite ALL; living in the world as children of men, like and
yet unlike the children of men."
Then for a dwelling place, far 'neath the earth crust, blasted great spaces
they by their power, spaces apart from the children of men. Surrounded them
by forces and power, shielded from harm they the Halls of the Dead.
Side by side then, placed they other spaces, filled them with Life and with
Light from above. Builded they then the Halls of Amenti, that they might
Dwell eternally there living with life to eternity's end.
Thirty and two were there of the children, sons of Lights who had come among
men, seeking to free from the bondage of darkness those who were bound by
the force from beyond.
Deep in the Halls of Life grew a flower, flaming, expanding, driving
Backward the night. Placed in the centre, a ray of great potence, Life giving, Light
giving, filling with power all who came near it. Placed they around it
thrones, two and thirty, places for each of the Children of Light, placed so
that they were bathed in the radiance, filled with the Life from the eternal
Light. There time after time placed they their first created bodies so that
they might by filled with the Spirit of Life. One hundred years out of each
thousand must the Life-giving Light flame forth on their bodies. Quickening,
awakening the Spirit of Life.
There in the circle from aeon to aeon, sit the Great Masters, living a life
not known among men. There in the Halls of Life they lie sleeping; free
flows their Soul through the bodies of men. Time after time, while their bodies
lie sleeping, incarnate they in the bodies of men. Teaching and guiding onward
and upward, out of the darkness into the light. There in the Hall of Life,
filled with their wisdom, known not to the races of man, living forever 'neath the
cold fire of life, sit the Children of Light. Times there are when they
awaken, come from the depths to be lights among men, infinite they among
finite men.
He who by progress has grown from the darkness, lifted himself from the
Night into light, free is he made of the Halls of Amenti, free of the Flower of
Light and of Life. Guided he then, by wisdom and knowledge, passes from men,
to the Master of Life. There he may dwell as one with the Masters, free from
the bonds of the darkness of night.
Seated within the flower of radiance sit seven Lords from the Space-Times
above us, helping and guiding through infinite Wisdom, the pathway through
time of the children of men. Mighty and strange, they, veiled with their
power, silent, all-knowing, drawing the Life force, different yet one with
the children of men. Aye, different, and yet one with the Children of Light.
Custodians and watchers of the force of man's bondage, ready to loose when
The light has been reached. First and most mighty, sits the Veiled Presence,
Lord of Lords, the infinite Nine, over the other from each Cosmic cycle, weighing
and watching the progress of men. Under HE, sit the Lords of the Cycles;
Three, Four, Five, and Six, Seven, Eight, each with his mission, each with
His powers, guiding, directing the destiny of man. There sit they, mighty and
potent, free of all time and space. Not of this world they, yet akin to it,
Elder Brothers they, of the children of men. Judging and weighing, they with
their wisdom, watching the progress of Light among men.
There before them was I led by the Dweller, watched him blend with ONE from
above. Then from HE came forth a voice saying: "Great art thou, Thoth, among
children of men. Free henceforth of the Halls of Amenti, Master of Life
among children of men. Taste not of death except as thou will it, drink thou of
Life to Eternity's end, Henceforth forever is Life, thine for the taking.
Henceforth is Death at the call of thy hand. Dwell here or leave here when
thou desireth, free is Amenti to the Sun of man. Take thou up Life in what
form thou desireth, Child of the Light that has grown among men. Choose thou
thy work, for all sould must labour, never be free from the pathway of
Light. One step thou has gained on the long pathway upward, infinite now is the
mountain of Light. Each step thou taketh but heightens the mountain; all of
thy progress but lengthens the goal. Approach ye ever the infinite Wisdom,
ever before thee recedes the goal. Free are ye made now of the Halls of
Amenti to walk hand in hand with the Lords of the world, one in one purpose,
Working together, bring of Light to the children of men."
Then from hid throne came one of the Masters, taking my hand and leading me
onward, through all the Halls of the deep hidden land. Led he me through the
Halls of Amenti, showing the mysteries that are known not to man. Through
The dark passage, downward he led me into the Hall where site the dark Death.
Vast as space lay the great Hall before me, walled by darkness but yet filled
With Light.
Before me arose a great throne of darkness, veiled on it seated a figure of
night. Darker than darkness sat the great figure, dark with a darkness not
of the night. Before it then paused the Master, speaking The Word that brings
about Life, saying; "Oh, master of darkness, guide of the way from Life unto
Life, before thee I bring a Sun of the morning. Tough him not ever with the
power of night. Call not his flame to the darkness of night. Know him, and
see him, one of our brothers, lifted from darkness into the Light. Release thou
his flame from its bondage, free let it flame through the darkness of
night."
Raised then the hand of the figure, forth came a flame that grew clear and
bright. Rolled back swiftly the curtain of darkness, unveiled the Hall from
the darkness of night. Then grew in the great space before me, flame after
flame, from the veil of the night. Uncounted millions leaped they before me,
some flaming forth as flowers of fire. Others there were that shed a dim
radiance, flowing but faintly from out of the night. Some there were that
faded swiftly; others that grew from a small spark of light. Each surrounded
by its dim veil of darkness, yet flaming with light that could never be
quenched. Coming and going like fireflies in springtime, filled they with
space with Light and with Life.
Then spoke a voice, mighty and solemn, saying: "These are lights that are
souls among men, growing and fading, existing forever, changing yet living,
through death into life. When they have bloomed into flower, reached the
zenith of growth in their life, swiftly then send I my veil of darkness,
shrouding and changing to new forms of life. Steadily upward throughout the
ages, growing, expanding into yet another flame, lighting the darkness with
yet greater power, quenched yet unquenched by the veil of the night. So
grows the soul of man ever upward, quenched yet unquenched by the darkness of
night.
I, Death, come, and yet I remain not, for life eternal exists in the ALL;
Only an obstacle, I in the pathway, quick to be conquered by the infinite light.
Awaken, O flame that burns ever inward, flame forth and conquer the veil of
the night." Then in the midst of the flames in the darkness grew there one
that drove forth the night, flaming, expanding, ever brighter, until at last
was nothing but Light. Then spoke my guide, the voice of the master: "See
your own soul as it grows in the light, free now forever from the Lord of the
night."
Forward he led me through many great spaces filled with the mysteries of the
Children of Light; mysteries that man may never yet know of until 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 yet 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
Tablet III: The Key of Wisdom
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 lose 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.
That which goeth into the store-house must come forth, and the things that
Are thine must be shared with a friend.
Knowledge is regarded by the fool as ignorance, and the things that are
profitable are to him hurtful. He liveth in death. It is therefore his food.
The wise man lets his heart overflow but keeps silent his mouth.
O men, list to the voice of wisdom; list to the voice of light. Mysteries
there are in the Cosmos that unveiled fill the world with their light. Let
he who would be free from the bonds of darkness first divine the material from
the immaterial, the fire from the earth; for know ye that as earth descends
to earth, so also fire ascends unto fire and becomes one with fire. He who
knows the fire that is within himself shall ascend unto the eternal fire and dwell
in it eternally.
Fire, the inner fire, is the most potent of all force, for it overcometh all
things and penetrates to all things of the Earth. Man supports himself only
on that which resists. So Earth must resist man else he existeth not.
All eyes do not see with the same vision, for to one an object appears of
One form and colour and to a different eye of another. So also the infinite
fire, changing from colour to colour, is never the same from day to day.
Thus, speak I, THOTH, of my wisdom, for a man is a fire burning bright
Through the night; never is quenched in the veil of the darkness, never is quenched
By the veil of the night.
Into men's hearts, I looked by my wisdom, found them not free from the
Bondage of strife. Free from the toils, thy fire, O my brother, lest it be buried in
the shadow of night!
Hark ye, O man, and list to this wisdom: where do name and form cease? Only
In consciousness, invisible, an infinite force of radiance bright. The forms
That ye create by brightening they vision are truly effects that follow thy
cause.
Man is a star bound to a body, until in the end, he is freed through his
strife. Only by struggle and toiling thy utmost shall the star within thee
bloom out in new life. He who knows the commencement of all things, free is
his star from the realm of night.
Remember, O man, that all which exists is only another form of that which
exists not. Everything that has being is passing into yet other being and
thou thyself are not an exception.
Consider the Law, for all is Law. Seek not that which is not of the Law, for
such exists only in the illusions of the senses.
Wisdom cometh to all her children even as they cometh unto wisdom.
All through the ages, the light has been hidden. Awake, O man, and be wise.
Deep in the mysteries of life have I traveled, seeking and searching for
That which is hidden. List ye, O man, and be wise.
Far 'neath the earth crust, in the Halls of Amenti, mysteries I saw that are
hidden from men.
Oft have I journeyed the deep hidden passage, looked on the Light that is
Life among men. There 'neath the flowers of Life ever living, searched I the
Hearts and the secrets of men. Found I that man is but living in darkness, light of
the great fire is hidden within.
Before the Lords of hidden Amenti learned I the wisdom I give unto men.
Masters are they of the great Secret Wisdom, brought from the future of
infinity's end. Seven are they, the Lords of Amenti, overlords they of the
Children of Morning, Suns of the cycles, Masters of Wisdom. Formed are not
they as the children of men? THREE, FOUR, FIVE AND SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE
are the titles of the Masters of men.
Far from the future, formless yet forming, came they as teachers for the
children of men. Live they forever, yet not of the living, bound not to life
and yet free from death. Rule they forever with infinite wisdom, bound yet
not bound to the dark Halls of Death. Life they have in them, yet life that is
not life, free from all are the Lords of the ALL.
Forth from them came forth the Logos, instruments they of the power o'er
all. Vast is their countenance, yet hidden in smallness, formed by a forming,
known yet unknown.
THREE holds the key of all hidden magic, creator he of the halls of the
Dead; sending forth power, shrouding with darkness, binding the souls of the
children of men; sending the darkness, binding the soul force; director of
negative to the children of men.
FOUR is he who looses the power. Lord, he, of Life to the children of men.
Light is his body, flame is his countenance; freer of souls to the children
Of men.
FIVE is the master, the Lord of all magic - Key to The Word that resounds
among men.
SIX is the Lord of Light, the hidden pathway, path of the souls of the
children of men.
SEVEN is he who is Lord of the vastness, master of Space and the key of the
Times.
EIGHT is he who orders the progress; weighs and balances the journey of men.
NINE is the father, vast he of countenance, forming and changing from out of
the formless.
Meditate on the symbols I give thee. Keys are they, though hidden from men.
Reach ever upward, O Soul of the morning. Turn thy thoughts upward to Light
and to Life. Find in the keys of the numbers I bring thee, light on the
pathway from life unto life.
Seek ye with wisdom. Turn thy thoughts inward. Close not thy mind to the
flower of Light.
Place in thy body a thought-formed picture. Think of the numbers that lead
thee to Life.
Clear is the pathway to he who has wisdom. Open the door to the Kingdom of
Light.
Pour forth thy flame as a Sun of the morning. Shut out the darkness and live
in the day.
Take thee, O man! As part of thy being, the Seven who are but are not as
They seem. Opened, O man! Have I my wisdom. Follow the path in the way I have
led.
Masters of Wisdom, SUN of the MORNING LIGHT and LIFE to the children of men.
Tablet IV: The Space Born
List ye, O man, to the voice of wisdom, list to the voice of THOTH, the
Atlantean. Freely I give to thee of my wisdom gathered from the time and
Space of this cycle; master of mysteries, SUN of the morning, living forever, a
child of the LIGHT, shining with brightness, star of the morning, THOTH the
teacher of men, is of ALL.
Long time ago, I in my childhood, lay 'neath the stars on long-buried
ATLANTIS, dreaming of mysteries far above men. Then in my heart grew there a
great longing to conquer the pathway that led to the stars. Year after year,
I sought after wisdom, seeking new knowledge, following the way, until at last
my SOUL, in great travail, broke from its bondage and bounded away. Free was
I from the bondage of earth-men. Free from the body, I flashed through the
night. Unlocked at last for me was the star-space. Free was I from the
bondage of night. Now to the end of space sought I wisdom, far beyond knowledge of
finite man.
Far into space, my SOUL traveled freely into infinity's circle of light.
Strange, beyond knowledge, were some of the planets, great and gigantic,
beyond dreams of men. Yet found I Law, in all of its beauty, working through
and among them as here among men. Flashed forth my soul through infinity's
beauty, far through space I flew with my thoughts.
Rested I there on a planet of beauty. Strains of harmony filled all the air.
Shapes there were, moving in Order, great and majestic as stars in the
night; mounting in harmony, ordered equilibrium, symbols of the Cosmic, like unto
Law.
Many the stars I passed in my journey, many the races of men on their
worlds; some reaching high as stars of the morning, some falling low in the
blackness of night.
Each and all of them struggling upward, gaining the heights and plumbing the
depths, moving at times in realms of brightness, living through darkness,
gaining the Light.
Know, O man, that Light is thine heritage. Know that darkness is only a
veil. Sealed in thine heart is brightness eternal, waiting the moment of freedom
to conquer, waiting to rend the veil of the night.
Some I found who had conquered the ether. Free of space were they while yet
they were men. Using the force that is the foundation of ALL things, far in
space constructed they a planet, drawn by the force that flows through the
ALL; condensing, coalescing the ether into forms that grew as they willed.
Outstripping in science, they, all of the races, mighty in wisdom, sons of
The stars.
Long time I paused, watching their wisdom. Saw them create from out of the
ether cities gigantic of rose and gold. Formed forth from the primal
element, base of all matter, the ether far flung.
Far in the past, they had conquered the ether, freed themselves from the
bondage of toil; formed in their mind only a picture and swiftly created, it
grew.
Forth then, my soul sped, throughout the Cosmos, seeing ever, new things and
old; learning that man is truly space-born, a Sun of the Sun, a child of the
stars.
Know ye, O man, whatever from ye inhabit, surely it is one with the stars.
Thy bodies are nothing but planets revolving around their central suns. When ye
have gained the light of all wisdom, free shall ye be to shine in the
ether - one of the Suns that light outer darkness - one of the space-born grown into
Light. Just as the stars in time lose their brilliance, light passing from
them in to the great source, so, O man, the soul passes onward, leaving
behind the darkness of night.
Formed forth ye, from the primal ether, filled with the brilliance that
Flows from the source, bound by the ether coalesced around, yet ever it flames
Until at last it is free. Lift up your flame from out of the darkness, fly from
The night and ye shall be free.
Traveled I through the space-time, knowing my soul at last was set free,
knowing that now might I pursue wisdom. Until at last, I passed to a plane,
hidden from knowledge, known not to wisdom, extension beyond all that we
know. Now, O man, when I had this knowing, happy my soul grew, for now I was free.
Listen, ye space-born, list to my wisdom: know ye not that ye, too, will be
free.
List ye again, O man, to my wisdom, that hearing, ye too, might live and be
free. Not of the earth are ye - earthy, but child of the Infinite Cosmic
Light.
Know ye not, O man, of your heritage? Know ye not ye are truly the Light?
Sun of the Great Sun, when ye gain wisdom, truly aware of your kinship with
Light.
Now, to ye, I give knowledge, freedom to walk in the path I have trod,
Showing ye truly how by my striving, I trod the path that leads to the stars.
Hark ye, O man, and know of thy bondage, know how to free thyself from the
toils. Out of the darkness shall ye rise upward, one with the Light and one
with the stars. Follow ye ever the path of wisdom. Only by this can ye rise
from below. Ever man's destiny leads him onward into the Curves of Infinity's
ALL.
Know ye, O man, that all space is ordered. Only by Order are ye One with the
ALL. Order and balance are the Law of the Cosmos. Follow and ye shall be One
with the ALL.
He who would follow the pathway of wisdom, open must be to the flower of
life, extending his consciousness out of the darkness, flowing through time and
space in the ALL.
Deep in the silence, first ye must linger until at last ye are free from
desire, free from the longing to speak in the silence. Conquer by silence,
the bondage of words. Abstaining from eating until we have conquered desire for
food, that is bondage of soul.
Then lie ye down in the darkness. Close ye your eyes from the rays of the
Light.
Centre thy soul-force in the place of thine consciousness, shaking it free
from the bonds of the night. Place in thy mind-place the image thou
desireth. Picture the place thou desireth to see. Vibrate back and forth with thy
power. Loosen the soul from out of its night. Fiercely must thou shake with all of
thy power until at last thy soul shall be free.
Mighty beyond words is the flame of the Cosmic, hanging in planes, unknown
To man; mighty and balanced, moving in Order, music of harmonies, far beyond
man. Speaking with music, singing with colour, flame from the beginning of
Eternity's ALL.
Spark of the flame art thou, O my children, burning with colour and living
with music. List to the voice and thou shalt be free.
Consciousness free is fused with the Cosmic, One with the Order and Low of
The ALL.
Knew ye not man, that out of the darkness, Light shall flame forth, a symbol
of ALL.
Pray ye this prayer for attaining or wisdom. Pray for the coming of Light to
the ALL. "Mighty SPIRIT of LIGHT that shines through the Cosmos, draw my
flame closer in harmony to thee. Lift up my fire from out of the darkness, magnet
of fire that is One with the ALL. Lift up my soul, thou might and potent. Child
of the Light, turn not away. Draw me in power to melt in thy furnace; One
with all things and all things in One, fire of the life-strain and One with the
Brain."
When ye have freed thy soul from its bondage, know that for ye the darkness
Is gone. Ever through space ye may seek wisdom, bound not be fetters forged in
the flesh.
Onward and upward into the morning, free flash, O Soul, to the realms of
Light. Move thou in Order, move thou in Harmony, freely shalt move with the
Children of Light.
Seek ye and know ye, my KEY of Wisdom. Thus, O man, ye shall surely be free.
Tablet V: The Dweller of Unal
Oft dream I of buried Atlantis, lost in the ages that have passed into
night. Aeon on aeon thou existed in beauty, a light shining through the darkness of
night.
Mighty in power, ruling the earth-born, Lord of the Earth in Atlantis' day.
King of the nations, master of wisdom, LIGHT through SUNTAL, Keeper of the
way, dwelt in his TEMPLE, the MASTER of UNAL, LIGHT of the Earth in Atlantis'
day.
Master, HE, from a cycle beyond us, living in bodies as one among men. Not
As the earth-born, HE from beyond us, SUN of a cycle, advanced beyond men.
Know ye, O man, that HORLET the Master, was never one with the children of
men. Far in the past time when Atlantis first grew as a power, appeared
there one with the KEY of WISDOM, showing the way of LIGHT to all.
Showed he to all men the path of attainment, way of the Light that flows
Among men. Mastering darkness, leading the MAN-SOUL, upward to heights that were
One with the Light.
Divided the Kingdoms, HE into sections. Ten were they, ruled by children of
men. Upon another, built HE a TEMPLE, built but not by the children of men.
Out of the ETHER called HE its substance, moulded and formed by the power of
YTOLAN (not translated) into the forms HE built with His mind. Mile upon
Mile it covered the island, space upon space it grew in its might. Black, yet not
black, but dark like the space-time, deep in its heart the ESSENCE of LIGHT.
Swiftly the TEMPLE grew into being, moulded and shaped by the WORD of the
DWELLER, called from the formless into a form
Tablet VI: The Key of Magic
Hark ye, O man, to the wisdom of magic. Hark to the knowledge of powers
forgotten. Long, long ago in the days of the first man, warfare began
between darkness and light. Men, then as now, were filled with both darkness and
light; and while in some darkness held sway, in others lights filled the
soul.
Aye, age old is this warfare, the eternal struggle between darkness and
light. Fiercely is it fought all through the ages, using strange powers hidden to
man.
Adepts have there been filled with the blackness, struggling always against
the light; but others there are who, filled with brightness, have ever
conquered the darkness of night. Where e'er ye may be in all ages and
planes, surely ye shall know of the battle with night. Long ages ago, the SUNS of
the Morning, descending, found the world filled with night. There in that past
time began the struggle, the age old battle of darkness and Light.
Many in that time were so filled with darkness that only feebly flames the
light from the night.
Some there were, masters of darkness, who sought to fill all with their
darkness; sought to draw others into their night. Fiercely withstood they,
the masters of brightness; fiercely fought they from the darkness of night.
Sought they ever to tighten the fetters, the chains that bind man to the darkness
Of night. Used they always the dark magic, brought into man by the power of
darkness; magic that enshrouded man's soul with darkness.
Banded together in as order, BROTHERS of DARKNESS, they through the ages,
antagonists they to the children of men. Walked they always secret and
hidden, found yet not found by the children of men. Forever they walked and worked
in darkness, hiding from the light in the darkness of night. Silently,
secretly, use they their power, enslaving and binding the souls of men.
Unseen they come and unseen they go. Man in his ignorance calls THEM from
below.
Dark is the way the DARK BROTHERS travel, dark with a darkness not of the
night, traveling o'er Earth they walk through man's dreams. Power have they
gained from the darkness around them to call other dwellers from out of
their plane, In ways that are dark and unseen by man. Into man's mind-space reach
the DARK BROTHERS. Around it, they close the veil of their night. There
through its lifetime that soul dwells in bondage, bound by the fetters of
the VEIL of the night. Mighty are they in the forbidden knowledge, forbidden
because it is one with the night.
Hark ye, O man, and list to may warning: be ye free from the bondage of
night.
Surrender not your soul to the BROTHERS of DARKNESS. Keep thy face ever
Turned toward the LIGHT. Know ye not, O man, that your sorrow only has come through
the Veil of the night. Aye, man, heed ye my warning: strive ever upward,
turn your soul toward the LIGHT. The BROTHERS of DARKNESS seek for their brothers
those who have traveled the pathway of LIGHT. For well know they that those
who have traveled far towards the Sun on their pathway of LIGHT have great
and yet greater power to bind with darkness the children of LIGHT.
List ye, O man, to he who comes to you. But weight in the balance if his
Words be of LIGHT. For many there are who walk in DARK BRIGHTNESS and yet are not
the children of LIGHT.
Easy it is to follow their pathway, easy to follow the path that they lead.
But yet, O man, heed ye my warning: Lights comes only to him who strives.
Hard is the pathway that leads to the WISDOM, hard is the pathway that leads to
The LIGHT. Many shall ye find, the stones in your pathway; many the mountains to
climb toward the LIGHT.
Yet know ye, O man, to him that o'ercometh, free will he be of the pathway
Of Light. Follow ye not the DARK BROTHERS ever. Always be ye a child of the
LIGHT. For know ye, O man, in the end LIGHT must conquer and darkness and
night be banished from Light.
Listen, O man, and heed ye this wisdom; even as darkness, so is the LIGHT
Tablet VII: The Seven Lords
Hark ye, O man, and list to my Voice. Open thy mind-space and drink of my
wisdom. Dark is the pathway of LIFE that ye travel. Many the pitfalls that
lie in thy way. Seek ye ever to gain greater wisdom. Attain and it shall be
light on thy way.
Open thy SOUL, O man, to the Cosmic and let it flow in as one with thy SOUL.
LIGHT is eternal and darkness is fleeting. Seek ye ever, O man, for the
LIGHT. Know ye that ever as Light fills thy being, darkness for thee shall soon
disappear.
Open thy soul to the BROTHERS of BRIGHTNESS. Let them enter and fill thee
With LIGHT. Lift up thine eyes to the LIGHT of the Cosmos. Keep thou ever thy
Face to the goal. Only by gaining the light of all wisdom, art thou one with the
Infinite goal. Seek ye ever the Oneness eternal. Seek ye ever the Light of
The goal.
Light is infinite and Light is finite, separate only by darkness in man.
Seek ye to rend the Veil of the Darkness. Bring thou together the Light into One.
Hear ye, O man, list 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 ye forever in the Veil of the Darkness, somewhere ye 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 ye, O man, that far in the space-time, INFINITY itself shall pass into
change. Hear ye and list to the Voice of Wisdom: Know that ALL is of ALL
evermore. Know that through time thou may pursue wisdom and find ever more
light on the way. Aye, thou shalt find that ever receding, thy goal shall
elude thee from day unto day.
Long time ago, in the HALLS of AMENTI, I, Thoth, stood before the LORDS of
The cycles. Might, THY 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. Oft 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 thee 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 thou gain wisdom? Seek for it in the
heart of the flame. Wouldst thou gain knowledge of power? Seek ye 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 ye and all of thy 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 ye 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 thou, 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 ye their law, and ye, too,
shall be free. Aye, free shall ye 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 ye, 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
thee.
Man is a flame bound to a mountain, but WE in our cycle shall ever be free.
Know ye, O man, that when ye 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 ye know is but part
of little. Not as yet have ye touched on the Great. Far out in space where
LIGHT reigns supreme, came I into the LIGHT. Formed was I also but not as ye
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 ye to find the path through
the barriers. Travel the road that leads to the LIGHT."
Spoke again to me the NINE saying: "Seek ye 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 ye the barrier has lifted, and yet are
made free of the road. Grow thou from form to the formless. Free may thou be
of the road."
Thus, through ages I listened, learning the way to the ALL. Now lift I my
though to the ALL-THING. List ye and hear when it calls.
"O LIGHT, all pervading, One with ALL and ALL with ONE, flow thou to me
through the channel. Enter thou 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 ye be, O man, living in light and in
brightness. Turn not thy face from the Light. Thy soul dwells in realms of
brightness. Ye are a child of the Light.
Turn thy thoughts inward not outward. Find thou the Light-Soul within. Know
that thou art the MASTER. All else is brought from within. Grow thou to
realms of brightness. Hold thou thy thought on the Light. Know thou art one with
the Cosmos, a flame and a Child of the Light.
Now to thee gave I warning: Let not thy thought turn away. Know that the
brightness flows through thy body for aye. Turn not to the DARK-BRIGHTNESS
that comes from the BROTHERS of BLACK. But keep thine eyes ever lifted, thy
soul in tune with the Light.
Take ye this wisdom and heed it. List to my Voice and obey. Follow the
Pathway to brightness, and thou shalt be ONE with the way.
Tablet VIII: The Key of Mysteries
Unto thee, O man, have I given my knowledge. Unto thee have I given of
Light. Hear ye now and receive my wisdom brought from space planes above and
beyond.
Not as man am I for free have I become of dimensions and planes. In each,
take I on a new body. In each, I change in my form. Know I now that the formless
is all there is of form.
Great is the wisdom of the Seven. Mighty are THEY from beyond. Manifest THEY
through their power, filled by force from beyond.
Hear ye these words of wisdom. Hear ye and make them thine own. Find in them
the formless. Find ye the key to beyond. Mystery is but hidden knowledge.
Know and ye shall unveil. Find the deep buried wisdom and be master of darkness
And Light.
Deep are the mysteries around thee, hidden the secrets of Old. Search
Through the KEYS of my WISDOM. Surely shall ye find the way. The gateway to power is
secret, but he who attains shall receive. Look to the LIGHT! O my brother.
Open and ye shall receive. Press on through the valley of darkness. Overcome
the dweller of night. Keep ever thine eyes to the LIGHT-PLANE, and thou
shalt be One with the LIGHT.
Man is in process of changing to forms that are not of this world. Grows he
In time to the formless, a plane on the cycle above. Know ye, ye must become
formless before ye are one with the LIGHT.
List ye, O man, to my voice, telling of pathways to Light, showing the way
Of attainment when ye shall be One with the Light. Search ye the mysteries of
Earth's heart. Learn of the LAW that exists, holding the stars in their
balance by the force of the primordial mist. Seek ye the flame of the EARTH'S
LIFE. Bathe in the glare of its flame. Follow the three-cornered pathway
Until thou, too, art a flame.
Speak thou in words without voice to those who dwell down below. Enter the
blue-litten temple and bathe in the fire of all life.
Know, O man, thou art complex, a being of earth and of fire. Let thy flame
shine out brightly. Be thou only the fire.
Wisdom is hidden in darkness. When lit by the flame of the Soul, find thou
The wisdom and be LIGHT-BORN, a Sun of the Light without form. Seek thee ever
More wisdom. Find it in the heart of the flame. Know that only by striving can
Light pour into thy brain. Now have I spoken with wisdom. List to my Voice
And obey. Tear open the Veils of the darkness. Shine a LIGHT on the WAY.
Speak I of Ancient Atlantis, speak of the day of the Kingdom of Shadows,
Speak of the coming of the children of shadows. Out of the great deep were they
called by the wisdom of earth-men, called for the purpose of gaining great
power.
Far in the past before Atlantis existed, men there were who delved into
darkness, using dark magic, calling up beings from the great deep below us.
Forth came they into this cycle. Formless were they of another vibration,
existing unseen by the children of earth-men. Only through blood could they
have formed being. Only through man could they live in the world.
In ages past were they conquered by the Masters, driven below to the place
whence they came. But some there were who remained, hidden in spaces and
planes unknown to man. Lived they in Atlantis as shadows, but at times they
appeared among men. Aye, when the blood was offered, forth came they to
dwell among men.
In the form of man moved they amongst us, but only to sight were they as are
men. Serpent-headed when the glamour was lifted but appearing to man as men
among men. Crept they into the Councils, taking forms that were like unto
men. Slaying by their arts the chiefs of the kingdoms, taking their form and
ruling o'er man. Only by magic could they be discovered. Only by sound could their
faces be seen. Sought they from the kingdom of shadows to destroy man and
rule in his place.
But, know ye, the Masters were mighty in magic, able to lift the Veil from
The face of the serpent, able to send him back to his place. Came they to man
And taught him the secret, the Word that only a man can pronounce. Swift then
They lifted the Veil from the serpent and cast him forth from place among men.
Yet, beware, the serpent still liveth in a place that is open at times to
The world. Unseen they walk among thee in places were the rites have been said.
Again as time passes onward shall they take the semblance of men.
Called may they be by the master who knows the white or the black, but only
the white master may control and bind them while in the flesh.
Seek not the kingdom of shadows, for evil will surely appear. For only the
master of brightness shall conquer the shadow of fear. Know ye, O my
brother, that fear is an obstacle great. Be master of all in the brightness, the
shadow will soon disappear. Hear ye and heed my wisdom, the voice of LIGHT is
clear. Seek not the valley of shadow, and Light only will appear.
List ye, O man, to the depth of my wisdom. Speak I of knowledge hidden from
man. Far have I been on my journey through SPACE-TIME, even to the end of
the space of this cycle. Found I there the great barrier, holding man from
leaving this cycle. Aye, glimpsed the HOUNDS of the Barrier, lying in wait for he
who would pass them. In that space where time exists not, faintly I sensed the
guardians of cycles. Move they only through angles. Free are they not of the
curved dimensions.
Strange and terrible are the HOUNDS of the Barrier. Follow they
Consciousness to the limits of space. Think not to escape by entering your body, for
Follow they fast the Soul through angles. Only the circle will give ye protection,
save from the claws of the DWELLER in ANGLES.
Once, in a time past, I approached the great Barrier, and saw on the shores
where time exists not, the formless forms of the HOUNDS of the Barrier. Aye,
hiding in the mist beyond time I found them; and THEY, scenting me afar off,
raised themselves and gave the great bell cry that can be heard from cycle
to cycle and moved through space toward my Soul.
Fled I then fast before them, back from time's unthinkable end. But ever
After me pursued they, moving in strange angles not known to man. Aye, on the gray
shore of TIME-SPACE's end found I the HOUNDS of the Barrier, ravening for
the Soul who attempts the beyond.
Fled I through circles back to my body. Fled, and fast after me they
followed. Aye, after me the devourers followed, seeking through angles to devour my
Soul.
Aye, know ye man, that the Soul who dares the Barrier may be held in bondage
by the HOUNDS from beyond time, held till this cycle is all completed and
left behind when the consciousness leaves.
Entered I my body. Created the circles that know not angles, created the
Form that from my form was firmed. Made my body into a circle and lost the
Pursuers in the circles of time. But, even yet, when free from my body, cautious ever
must I be not to move through angles, else my Soul might never by free.
Know ye, the HOUNDS of the Barrier move only through angles and never
Through curves of space. Only by moving through curves can ye escape them, for in
angles they will pursue thee. O man, heed ye my warning; Seek not to break
open the gate to beyond. Few there are who have succeeded in passing the
Barrier to the greater LIGHT that shines beyond. For know ye, ever the
dwellers, seek such Souls to hold in their thrall.
Listen, O man, and heed ye my warning; seek ye to move not in angles but
curves. And if while free from thy body, thou hearest the sound like the bay
of a hound ringing clear and bell-like through thy being, flee back to thy
body through circles, penetrate not the mist before.
When thou hast entered the form thou hast dwelt in, use thou the cross and
The circles combined. Open thy mouth and use thou thy Voice. Utter the WORD and
thou shalt be free. Only the one who of LIGHT has the fullest can hope to
pass by the guards of the way. And then must he move through strange curves and
angles that are formed in direction not known to man.
List ye, O man, and heed ye my warning: attempt not to pass the guards in
The way. Rather should ye seek to gain of thine own Light and make thyself ready
to pass on the way.
LIGHT is thin ultimate end, O my brother. Seek and find ever the Light on
The way.
Tablet IX: The Key to Freedom of Space
List ye, O man, hear ye my voice, teaching of Wisdom and Light in this
cycle; teaching ye how to banish the darkness, teaching ye how to bring Light in
thy life.
Seek ye, O man, to find the great pathway that leads to eternal LIFE as a
SUN. Draw ye away from the veil of the darkness. Seek to become a Light in the
world. Make of thyself a vessel for Light, a focus for the Sun of this
space.
Lift thou thine eyes to the Cosmos. Lift thou thine eyes to the Light.
Speak in the words of the Dweller, the chant that calls down the Light. Sing thou
the song of freedom. Sing thou the song of the Soul. Create the high
vibration that will make thee One with the Whole. Blend all thyself with the Cosmos.
Grow into ONE with the Light. Be thou a channel of order, a pathway of LAW
To the world.
Thy LIGHT, O man, is the great LIGHT, shining through the shadow of flesh.
Free must thou rise from the darkness before thou art One with the LIGHT.
Shadows of darkness surround thee. Life fills thee with its flow. But know,
O man, thou must arise and forth from thy body go far to the planes that
surround thee and yet are One with thee, too.
Look all around thee, O man. See thine own light reflected. Aye, even in
The darkness around thee, thine own Light pours forth through the veil.
Seek thou for wisdom always. Let not thine body betray. Keep in the path of
the light wave. Shun thou the darkened way. Know thee that wisdom is
lasting, existing since the ALL-SOUL began, creating harmony from chaos by the Law
that exists in the WAY.
List ye, O man, to the teaching of wisdom. List to the voice that speaks of
the past-time. Aye, I shall tell them knowledge forgotten, tell ye of
wisdom hidden in past-time, lost in the mist of darkness around me.
Know ye, man, ye are the ultimate of all things. Only the knowledge of this
Is forgotten, lost when man was cast into bondage, bound and fettered by the
chains of darkness.
Long, long ago, I cast off my body. Wandered I free through the vastness of
ether, circled the angles that hold man in bondage. Know ye, O man, ye are
only a spirit. The body is nothing. The Soul is the All. Let not your body
be a fetter. Cast off the darkness and travel in Light. Cast off your body, O
man, and be free, truly a Light that is ONE with the Light.
When ye are free from the fetters of darkness and travel in space as a SUN
Of the LIGHT, then ye shall know that space is not boundless but truly bounded
By angles and curves. Know ye, O man, that all that exists is only an aspect
Of greater things yet to come. Matter is fluid and flows like a stream,
constantly changing from one thing to another.
All through the ages has knowledge existed; never been changed, though
Buried in darkness; never been lost, though forgotten by man.
Know ye that throughout the space that ye dwell in are others as great as
Your own, interlaced through the heart of your matter yet separate in space of
their own.
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 of the cycles that comes 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 exist. Though from our knowledge it is
hidden, yet still it forever exists.
The key to worlds within thee are found only within. For many 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 surely 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
surrounds the light-born. 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 space. 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 the
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 light-torch that 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 knew. 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 the 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 I heard 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 saying: "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 thing."
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.
Tablet X: The Key of Time
List ye, O Man. Take of my wisdom. Learn of the deep hidden mysteries of
space. Learn of the THOUGHT that grew in the abyss, bringing Order and
harmony in space.
Know ye, O man, that all that exists has being only because of the LAW. Know
ye the LAW and ye shall be free, never be bound by the fetters of night.
Far, through strange spaces, have I journeyed into the depth of the abyss of
time, learning strange and yet stranger mysteries, until in the end all was
revealed. Know ye that mystery is only mystery when it is knowledge unknown
to man.
When ye have plumbed the heart of all mystery, knowledge and wisdom will
surely be thine.
Seek ye and learn that TIME is the secret whereby ye may be free of this
space.
Long have I, THOTH, sought wisdom; aye, and shall seek to eternity's end for
know I that ever before me receding shall move the goal I seek to attain.
Even the LORDS of the CYCLES know that not yet have THEY reached the goal, For
With all of their wisdom, they know that TRUTH ever grows.
Once, in a past time, I spoke to the Dweller. Asked of the mystery of time
And space. Asked him the question that surged in my being, saying: "O Master,
What is time?"
Then to me spoke HE, the Master: "Know ye, O Thoth, in the beginning there
Was VOID and nothingness, a timeless, spaceless, nothingness. And into the
nothingness came a thought, purposeful, all-pervading, and IT filled the
VOID. There existed no matter, only force, a movement, a vortex or vibration of
The purposeful thought that filled the VOID."
And I questioned the Master, saying: "Was this thought eternal?" And
Answered me the DWELLER, saying: "In the beginning, there was eternal thought, and
For thought to be eternal, time must exist. So into the all-pervading thought
Grew the LAW of TIME. Aye, time which exists through all space, floating in a
smooth, rhythmic movement that is eternally in a state of fixation. Time
changes not, but all things change in time. For time is the force that holds
events separate, each in its proper place. Time is not in motion, but ye
move through time as your consciousness moves from one event to another. Aye, by
time ye exist, all in all, an eternal ONE existence. Know ye that even
though in time ye are separate, yet still are ONE in all times existent." Ceased
then the voice of the Dweller, and departed I to ponder on time. For knew I that
in these words lay wisdom and a way to explore the mysteries of time.
Oft did I ponder the words of the Dweller. Then sought I to solve the
Mystery of time. Found I that times moves through strange angles. Yet only by curves
could I hope to attain the key that would give me access to the time-space.
Found I that only by moving upward and yet again by moving to right-ward
Could I be free from the time of this movement.
Forth I came from out of my body, moved in the movements that changed me in
time. Strange were the sights I saw in my journeys, many the mysteries that
opened to view. Aye, saw I man's beginning, learned from the past that
nothing is new.
Seek ye, O man, to learn the pathway that leads through the spaces that are
formed forth in time.
Forget not, O man, with all of thy seeking that Light is the goal ye shall
seek to attain. Search ye ever for Light on thy pathway and ever for thee
the goal shall endure.
Let not thine heart turn ever to darkness. Light let thine Soul be, a Sun on
the way. Know ye that in the eternal brightness, ye shall ever find thy Soul
hid in Light, never fettered by bondage to darkness, ever it shines forth a
Sun of the Light.
Aye, know, though hidden in darkness, your Soul, a spark of the true flame,
exists. Be ye ONE with the greatest of all Lights. Find at the SOURCE, the
END of thy goal.
Light is life, for without the great Light nothing can ever exist. Know ye,
that in all formed matter, the heart of Light always exists. Aye, even
though bound in the darkness, inherent Light always exists.
Once I stood in the HALLS of AMENTI and heard the voice of the LORDS of
AMENTI, saying in tones that rang through the silence, words of power,
Mighty and potent. Chanted they the song of the cycles, the words that open the
Path to beyond. Aye, I saw the great path opened and looked for an instant into
The beyond. Saw I the movements of the cycles, vast as the thought of the SOURCE
could convey.
Knew I then that even Infinity is moving on to some unthinkable end. Saw I
that the Cosmos is Order and part of a movement that extends to all space, a
part of an Order of Orders, constantly moving in a harmony of space. Saw I
the wheeling of cycles like vast circles across the sky. Knew I then that all
that has being is growing to meet yet other being in a far-off grouping of space
and of time. Knew I then that in Words are power to open the planes that are
hidden from man. Aye, that even in Words lies hidden the key that will open
above and below.
Hark ye, now man, this word I leave with thee. Use it and ye shall find
power
in its sound. Say ye, the word: "ZIN-URU" and power ye shall find. Yet must
ye
understand that man is of Light and Light is of man."
List ye, O man, and hear a mystery stranger than all that lies 'neath the
Sun.
Know ye, O man, that all space is filled by worlds within worlds; aye, one
within the other yet separate by Law.
Once in my search for deep buried wisdom, I opened the door that bars THEM
from man. Called I from other planes of being, one who was fairer than the
daughters of men. Aye, I called her from out of the spaces to shine as a
Light
in the world of men.
Used I the drum of the Serpent. Wore I the robe of the purple and gold.
Placed
on my head, I, the crown of Silver. Around me the circle of cinnabar shone.
Raised I my arms and cried the invocation that opens the path to the planes
beyond, cried to the LORDS of the SIGNS in their houses: "Lords of the two
horizons, watchers of the treble gates, stand ye One at the right and One at
the left as the STAR rises to his throne and rules over his sign. Aye, thou
dark prince of ARULU, open the gates of the dim, hidden land and release her
whom ye keep imprisoned.
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye, dark Lords and Shining Ones, and by their secret
names, names which I know and can pronounce, hear ye and obey my will."
Lit I then with flame my circle and called HER in the space-planes beyond.
Daughter of Light return from ARULU. Seven times and seven times have I
Passed through the fire. Food have I not eaten. Water have I not drunk. I call thee
from ARULU, from the realm of EKERSHEGAL. I summon thee, Lady of Light.
Then before me rose the dark figures; aye, the figures of the Lords of
ARULU. Parted they before me and forth came the Lady of Light.
Free was she now from the LORDS of the night, free to live in the Light of
The earth Sun, free to live as a child of Light.
Hear ye and listen, O my children. Magic is knowledge and only is Law. Be
Not afraid of the power within thee for it follows Law as the stars in the sky.
Know ye that to be without knowledge, wisdom is magic and not of the Law.
But know ye that ever ye by your knowledge can approach closer to a place in the
Sun.
List ye, my children, follow my teaching. Be ye ever seeker of Light. Shine
In the world of men all around thee, a Light on the path that shall shine among
men.
Follow ye and learn of my magic. Know that all force is thine if thou wilt.
Fear not the path that leads thee to knowledge, but rather shun ye the dark
road.
Light is thine, O man, for the taking. Cast off the fetters and thou shalt
Be free. Know ye that thy Soul is living in bondage fettered by fear that holds
ye in thrall. Open thy eyes and see the great SUN-LIGHT. Be not afraid for
all is thine own. Fear is the LORD of dark ARULU to he who has never faced the
dark fear. Aye, know that fear has existence created by those who are bound
by their fears.
Shake off thy bondage, O children, and walk in the Light of the glorious
day. Never turn thy thoughts to the darkness and surely ye shall be One with the
Light.
Man is only what he believeth, a brother of darkness or a child of the
Light. Come thou into the Light my Children. Walk in the pathway that leads to the
Sun.
Hark ye now and list to the wisdom. Use thou the word I have given unto
thee. Use it and surely thou shalt find power and wisdom and Light to walk in the
way. Seek thee and find the key I have given and ever shalt thou be a Child
of the Light.
Tablet XI: The Key to Above and Below
Hear ye and list ye, O children of KHEM, to the words that I give that shall
bring ye to Light. Ye know, O men, that I knew your fathers, aye, your
fathers in a time long ago. Deathless have I been through all the ages, living among
ye since your knowledge began. Leading ye upward to the Light of the Great
Soul have I ever striven, drawing ye from out of the darkness of night.
Know ye, O people amongst whom I walk, that I, Thoth, have all of the
knowledge and all of the wisdom known to man since the ancient days. Keeper
have I been of the secrets of the great race, holder of the key that leads
into life. Bring up have I been to ye, O my children, even from the darkness
of the Ancient of Days. List ye now to the words of my wisdom. List ye now
to the message I bring. Hear ye now the words I give thee, and ye shall be
raised from the darkness to Light.
Far in the past, when first I came to thee, found I thee in caves of rocks.
Lifted I thee by my power and wisdom until thou didst shine as men among
men. Aye, found I thee without any knowing. Only a little were ye raised beyond
beasts. Fanned I ever the spark of thy consciousness until at last ye flamed
as men.
Now shall I speak to thee knowledge ancient beyond the thought of thy race.
Know ye that we of the Great Race had and have knowledge that is more than
man's. Wisdom we gained from the star-born races, wisdom and knowledge far
beyond man's. Down to us had descended masters of wisdom as far beyond us as
I am from thee. List ye now while I give ye wisdom. Use it and free thou shalt
be.
Know ye that in the pyramid I builded are the KEYS that shall show ye the
WAYinto life. Aye, draw ye a line from the great image I builded, to the apex
Of the pyramid, built as a gateway. Draw ye another opposite in the same angle
and direction. Dig ye and find that which I have hidden. There shall ye find
the underground entrance to the secrets hidden before ye were men.
Tell ye I now of the mystery of cycles that move in movements that are
Strange to the finite, for infinite are they beyond knowledge of man. Know ye that
there are nine of the cycles; aye, nine above and fourteen below, moving in
harmony to the place of joining that shall exist in the future of time. Know
ye that the LORDS of the CYCLES are units of consciousness sent from the
others to unify THIS with the ALL. Highest are THEY of the consciousness of
all the CYCLES, working in harmony with the LAW. Know THEY that in time all
will be perfected, having none above and none below, but all ONE in a
perfected Infinity, a harmony of all in the ONENESS of ALL.
Deep 'neath Earth's surface in the HALLS of AMENTI sit the Seven, the LORDS
Of the CYCLES, aye, and another, the Lord from below. Yet know thee that in
Infinity there is neither above nor below. But ever there is and ever shall
Be ONENESS of ALL when all is complete. Oft have I journeyed to the HALLS of
AMENTI. Oft have I stood before the LORDS of the ALL. Oft at the fount of
their wisdom have drunken and filled both my body and Soul with their Light.
Spake they to me and told me of cycles and the LAW that gives them the means
to exist. Aye, spake to me the LORD of the NINE saying: "O, Thoth, great are
ye among Earth's children, but mysteries exist of which ye know not. Ye know
that ye came from a space-time below this and know ye shall travel to a
space-time beyond. But little ye know of the mysteries within them, little ye know
of the wisdom beyond. Know ye that ye as a whole in this consciousness are
only a cell in the process of growth.
The consciousness below thee is ever-expanding in different way from those
known to thee. Aye, it, though in space-time below thee, is ever growing in
ways that are different from those that were part of the ways of thine own.
For know that it grows as a result of thy growth but not in the same way
That thou didst grow. The growth that thou had and have in the present have
Brought into being a cause and effect. No consciousness follows the path of those
before it, else all would be repetition and vain. Each consciousness in the
cycle it exists in follows its own path to the ultimate goal. Each plays its
part in the Plan of the Cosmos. Each plays its part in the ultimate end. The
father the cycle, the greater its knowledge and ability to blend the Law of
the whole.
Know ye, that ye in the cycles below us are working the minor parts of the
Law, while we of the cycle that extends to Infinity take of the striving and
build greater Law.
Each has his own part to play in the cycles. Each has his work to complete
In his way. The cycle below thee is yet not below thee but formed for a need
That exists. For know ye that the fountain of wisdom that sends forth the cycles
Is eternally seeking new powers to gain. Ye know that knowledge is gained only
By practice, and wisdom comes forth only from knowledge, and thus are the
Cycles created by Law. Means are they for the gaining of knowledge for the Plane of
Law that is the Source of the ALL. The cycle below is not truly below but
Only different in space and in time. The consciousness there is working and
Testing lesser things than those ye are. And know, just as ye are working on
greater, so above ye are those who are also working as ye are on yet other laws. The
difference that exist between the cycles is only in ability to work with the
Law. 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: "O 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. Thou 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 'neath 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 sour 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 Great 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.
Tablet XII: The Law of Cause and Effect & The Key of Prophecy
List ye, O man, to the words of my wisdom, list to the voice of Thoth, the
Atlantean. Conquered have I the Law of the 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 to him who can read.
All effect shall bring forth its causes as all effects grew from the first
cause. Know ye the future is not fixed or stable but varies as cause brings
forth an effect. Look in the cause thou shalt bring into being, and surely
thou shalt see that all is effect.
In the great beginning, there grew the First Cause that brought into being
All that exists. Thou, thyself, art the effect of causation and in turn are the
cause of yet other effects.
So, O man, be sure the effects that ye bring forth are ever causes of more
perfect effects. Know ye the future is never in fixation but follows man's
free will as it moves through the movements of time-space toward the goal
where a new time begins. Man can only read the future through the causes
that bring the effects. Seek ye within the causation and surely ye shall find the
effects.
List ye, O man, while I speak of the future, speak of the effect that
Follows the cause. Know ye that man in his journey light-ward is ever seeking escape
from the night. Aye, from the blackness of night that surrounds him, like
the shadows that surround the stars in the sky and like the stars in the sky-
space, he, too, shall shine from the shadows of night.
Ever his destiny shall lead him onward until he is ONE with the Light. Aye,
though his way lies midst the shadows, ever before him glows the Great
Light.
Dark thou the way be yet shall he conquer the shadows that flow around him
like night.
Far in the future, I see men as Light-born, free from the darkness that
fetters the Soul, living in Light without the bonds of the darkness to cover
the Light that is Light of their Soul. Know ye, O man, before ye attain this
that many the dark shadows shall fall on your Light striving to quench with
the shadows of darkness the Light of the Soul that strives to be free.
Great is the struggle between Light and darkness, age old and yet ever new.
Yet, know in a time, far in the future, Light shall be All and darkness
Shall fall.
List ye, O man, to my words of wisdom. Prepare and ye shall not bind your
Light. Man has risen and man has fallen as ever new waves of consciousness
flow from the great abyss below us toward the Sun of their goal.
Ye, my children, have risen from a state that was little above the beast,
until now of all men ye are greatest. Yet before thee were others greater
than thee. Yet tell I thee as before thee others have fallen, so also shall ye
come to an end. And upon the land where ye dwell now, barbarians shall dwell and
in turn rise to Light. Forgotten shall be the ancient-wisdom, yet ever shall
live though hidden from men.
Aye, in the land thou callest Khem, races shall rise and races shall fall.
Forgotten shalt thou be of the children of men. Yet thou shalt have moved to
A star-space beyond this leaving behind this place where thou hast dwelt.
The Soul of man moves ever onward, bound not be any one star. But ever
Moving to the great goal before him where he is dissolved in the Light of the All.
Know ye that ye shall ever go onward, moved by the Law of cause and effect
until in the end both become One.
Aye, man, after ye have gone, others shall move in the places ye lived.
Knowledge and wisdom shall all be forgotten, and only a memory of Gods shall
survive. As I to thee am a God by my knowledge, so ye, too, shall be Gods of
the future because of your knowledge far above theirs. Yet know ye that all
through the ages, man shall have access to Law when he will.
Ages to comes shall see revival of wisdom to those who shall inherit thy
Place on this star. They shall, in turn, comes into wisdom and learn to banish the
darkness by Light. Yet greatly must they strive through the ages to bring
unto themselves the freedom of Light. Many who are bound in darkness shall strive
to hold others from Light. Then shall there come unto man the great warfare
that shall make the Earth tremble and shake in its course. Aye, then shall
the Dark Brothers open the warfare between Light and the night.
When man again shall conquer the ocean and fly in the air on wings like the
birds; when he has learned to harness the lightning, then shall the time of
warfare begin. Great shall the battle be twixt the forces, great the warfare
of darkness and Light. Nation shall rise against nation using the dark
forces to shatter the Earth. Weapons of force shall wipe out the Earth-men until
half of the races of men shall be gone. Then shall come forth the Sons of the
Morning and give their edict to the children of men, saying: "O men, cease
from thy striving against they brother. Only thus can ye come to the Light.
Cease from thy unbelief, O my brother, and follow the path and know ye are
right."
Then shall men cease from their striving, brother against brother and father
against son. Then shall the ancient home of my people rise from its place
'neath the dark ocean waves. Then shall the Age of Lights be unfolded with
all men seeking the Light of the goal. Then shall the Brothers of Light rule the
people. Banished shall be the darkness of night.
Aye, the children of men shall progress onward and upward to the great goal.
Children of Light shall they become. Flame of the flame shall their Souls
Ever be. Knowledge and wisdom shall be man's in the great age for he shall
Approach the eternal flame, the SOURCE of all wisdom, the place of beginning, that is
yet ONE with the end of all things. Aye, in a time that is yet unborn, all
shall be ONE and ONE shall be All. Man, a perfect flame of this Cosmos,
shall move forward to a place in the stars. Aye, shall move even from out of this
space-time into another beyond the stars.
Long have ye listened to me, O my children, long have ye listened to the
wisdom of Thoth. Now I depart from ye into the darkness. Now go I to the
HALLS of AMENTI, there to dwell in the future [when] Light shall come again to
man. Yet, know ye, my Spirit shall ever be with thee, guiding thy feet in the
pathway of Light.
Guard ye the secrets I leave with thee, are surely my spirit will guard thee
through life. Keep thine eyes ever on the pathway to wisdom. Keep the Light
as thy goal evermore. Fetter not thy Soul in bondage of darkness; free let it
wing in its flight to the stars.
Now I depart thee to dwell in Amenti. Be thou my children in this life and
The next. The time will come when ye, too, shall be deathless, living from age
To age a Light among men.
Guard ye the entrance to the HALLS of AMENTI. Guard ye the secrets I have
hidden among ye. Let not the wisdom be cast to barbarians. Secret shall thou
keep it for those who seek Light. Now depart I. Receive thou my blessing.
Take thou my way and follow the Light.
Blend thou thy Soul in the Great Essence. ONE with the Great Light let thy
consciousness be. Call thou on my when thou dost need me. Use my name three
times in a row: CHEQUETET, ARELICH, VOMALITES.
Tablet XIII: The Keys of Life and Death
List ye, O man, hear ye the wisdom. Hear ye the Word that shall fill thee
With Life. Hear ye the Word that shall banish the darkness. Hear ye the voice
That shall banish the night.
Mystery and wisdom have I brought to my children; knowledge and power
descended from old. Know ye not that all shall be opened when ye shall find
the oneness of all? One shall ye be with the Masters of Mystery, conquerors
of Death and Masters of Life. Aye, ye shall learn of the flower of Amenti the
blossom of life that shines in the Halls. In Spirit shall ye reach that
halls of Amenti and bring back the wisdom that liveth in Light. Know ye the
gateway to power is secret. Know ye the gateway to life is through death. Aye,
through death but not as ye know death, but a death that is life and is fire and is
Light.
Desireth thou to know the deep, hidden secret? Look in thy heart where the
knowledge is bound. Know that in thee the secret is hidden, the source of
all life and the source of all death.
List ye, O man, while I tell the secret, reveal unto thee the secret of old.
Deep in Earth's heart lies the flower, the source of the Spirit that binds
All in its form. For know ye that the Earth is living in body as thou art alive
In thine own formed form. The flower of life is as thine own place of Spirit
And streams through the Earth as thine flows through thy form; giving of life
The to the Earth and its children, renewing the Spirit from form unto form. This
is the Spirit that is form of thy body, shaping and moulding into its form.
Know ye, O man, that thy form is dual, balanced in polarity while formed in
its form. Know that when fast on thee DEATH approaches, it is only because
thy balance is shaken. It is only because one pole has been lost. Know that thy
body when in perfect balance may never be touched by the finger of DEATH.
Aye, even accident may only approach when the balance is gone. When ye are in a
balanced equilibrium, ye shall live on in time and not taste of Death. Know
that thou art the balanced completion, existing because of thy balance of
poles. As, in thee, one pole is drawn downward, fast from thee goes the
balance of life. Then unto thee cold Death approaches, and change much come
to thine unbalanced life.
Know that the secret of life in AMENTI is the secret of restoring the
Balance of poles. All that exists has form and is living because of the Spirit of
Life in its poles.
See ye not that in Earth's heart is the balance of all things that exist and
have being on its face? The source of thy Spirit is drawn from Earth's
heart, for in thy form thou art one with the Earth.
When thou hast learned to hold thine own balance, then shalt thou draw on
The balance of Earth. Exist then shalt thou while Earth is existing, changing in
form, only when Earth, too, shalt change: Tasting not of death, but one with
this planet, holding thy form till all pass away.
List ye, O man, whilst I give the secret so that ye, too, shalt taste not of
change. One hour each day shalt thou lie with thine head pointed to the
place of the positive pole (north). One hour each day shalt thy head be pointed to
the place of the negative pole (south). Whilst thy head is place to the
northward, hold thou thy consciousness from the chest to the head. And when
thy head is placed southward, hold thou thy thought from the chest to the
feet. Hold thou in balance once in each seven, and thy balance will retain
the whole of its strength. Aye, if thou be old, thy body will freshen and thy
strength will become as a youth's. This is the secret known to the Masters
by which they hold off the fingers of Death. Neglect not to follow the path I
have shown, for when thou hast passed beyond years to a hundred to neglect
it will mean the coming of Death.
Hear ye, my words, and follow the pathway. Keep thou thy balance and live on
in life.
Hear ye, O man, and list to my voice. List to the wisdom that gives thee of
Death. When at the end of thy work appointed, thou may desire to pass from
this life, pass to the plane where the Suns of the Morning live and have
being as Children of Light. Pass without pain and pass without sorrow into the
plane where is eternal light.
First lie at rest with thine head to the eastward. Fold thou thy hands at
The Source of thy life (solar plexus). Place thou thy consciousness in the left
seat. Whirl it and divide to north and to south. Send thou the one out
toward the northward. Send thou the other out to the south. Relax thou thy hold
upon thy being. Forth from thy form will thy silver spark fly, upward and onward
to the Sun of the morning, blending with Light, at one with its source. There
is shall flame till desire shall be created. Then shall return to a place in a
form. Know ye, O men, that thus pass the great Souls, changing at will from
life unto life. Thus ever passes the Avatar, willing his Death as he wills
his own life.
[The key to the placing of consciousness at the time of death so that memory
may be carried from one incarnation to another.] List ye, O man, drink of my
wisdom. Learn ye the secret that is Master of TIME. Learn ye how those ye
call Masters are able to remember the lives of the past. Great is the secret yet
easy to master, giving to thee the mastery of time. When upon thee death
fast approaches, fear not but know ye are master of Death. Relax thy body, resist
not with tension. Place in thy heart the flame of the Soul. Swiftly then
sweep it to the seat of the triangle. Hold for a moment, then move to the goal.
This, thy goal, is the place between thine eyebrows, the place where the
memory of life must hold sway. Hold thou thy flame here in thy brain-seat
until the fingers of Death grasp thy Soul. Then as thou pass through the
state of transition, surely the memories of life shall pass, too. Then shall the
past be as one with the present. Then shall the memory of all be retained.
Free shalt thou be from all retrogression. The things of the past shall live
in today.
Man, ye have heard the voice of my wisdom. Follow and ye shall live through
the ages as I.
Tablet XIV
List ye, 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 ye this earth is but a portal, guarded by powers unknown to man. Yet,
The Dark Lords hide the entrance that leads to the Heaven-born land. Know ye,
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.
Commanded I, by the powers beyond me, to leave the keys to the world of man.
Before I depart, I give ye the Secrets of how ye may rise from the bondage
Of darkness, cast off the fetters of flesh that have bound ye, rise from the
darkness into the Light. Know ye, the soul must be cleansed of its darkness,
ere ye may enter the portals of Light. Thus, I establish among ye the
mysteries so that the Secrets may always be found. Aye, though men may fall
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 always the way the seeker will find.
Now I command ye to maintain my secrets, giving only to those ye have
tested, so that the pure may not be corrupted, so that the power of Truth may
prevail.
List ye now to the unveiling of Mystery. List to the symbols of Mystery I
give. Make of it a religion for only thus will its essence remain.
Regions there are two between this life and the Great One, traveled by the
Souls who depart from this Earth; DUAT, the home of the powers of illusion;
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 form the darkness; FIFTEEN the ways that lead to 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

BA is the Essence, living forever. KA is the Shadow that man knows as life. Ba
cometh not until Ka is incarnate. These are mysteries to preserve through
the ages. Keys are they of life and of Death. Hear ye 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 ye
travel the way that I go. Mystery in Mystery, yet clear to the Light-born,
the Secret of all I will 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 thee will
dawn.
In the primeval, dwell three unities. Other than these, none can exist.
These are the equilibrium, source of creation: one God, one Truth, one point of
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
And 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 joint will of Divine Love and Wisdom.
Three are the circles (or states) 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 where
all things spring from life.
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, plenituted in Heaven.
Three are the paths of the Soul: Man, Liberty, Light.
Three are the hindrances: lack of endeavour 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 ye now of he who is liberated, freed from the bondage of life into
Light. Knowing the source of all worlds shall be open. Aye, even the Gates of Arulu
shall not be barred. Yet heed, O man, who wouldst enter heaven. If ye be not
worthy, better it be to fall into the fire. Know ye the Celestials pass
through the pure flame. At every revolution of the heavens, they bathe in
the fountains of Light.
List ye, O man, to this mystery: Long in the past before ye 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. Give the key to ascend to
the Presence of Light in the Great world. Stood I before the Holy (One)
enthroned in the flower of fire. Veiled was he by the lightnings of darkness, else my
Soul by the Glory have been shattered.
Forth from the feet of his Throne like the diamond, rolled forth four rivers
of flame from his footstool, rolled through the channels of clouds to the
Man-world. Filled was the hall with Spirits of Heaven. 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 govern 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, shown
was I the mystery of mysteries, shown the Secret heart of the cosmos, Carried
was I to the land of Arulu, stood before the Lords in their Houses. Opened they
the Doorway so I might glimpse the primeval chaos. Shuddered my soul to the
vision of horror, shrank back my soul from the ocean of darkness. Then saw I
the need for the barriers, saw the need for the Lords of Arulu. Only they
with their Infinite balance could stand in the way of the inpouring chaos. Only
they could guard God's creation.
Then did I pass 'round the circle of eight. Saw all the souls who had
conquered the darkness. Saw the splendor of Light where they dwelled.
Longed I to take my place in their circle, but longed I also for the way I
Had chosen, when I stood in the Halls of Amenti and make my choice to the work I
would do.
Passed I from the Halls of Arulu down to the earth space where my body lay.
Arose I from the Earth where I rested. Stood I before the Dweller. Gave my
pledge to renounce my Great Right until my work on Earth was completed,
until the Age of darkness be past.
List ye, O man, to the words I shall give ye. In them shall ye find the
Essence of Life. Before I return to the Halls of Amenti, taught shall ye be
the Secrets of Secrets, how ye, 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 ye 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, summon ye
me by the Key that ye hold. Then will I, the Initiator, answer, come from
the Halls of the Gods in Amenti. Then will I receive the initiate, give him the
words of power.
Hark ye, remember, these words of warning: bring not to me one lacking in
wisdom, impure I heart of weak in his purpose. Else I will withdraw from ye
your power to summon me from the place of my sleeping.
Go forth and conquer the element of darkness. Exalt in thy nature thine
essence of Light.
Now go ye forth and summon thy brothers so that I may impart the wisdom to
light thy path when my presence is gone. Come to the chamber beneath my
temple. Eat not food until three days are past. There will I give thee the
essence of wisdom so that with power ye may shine amongst men. There will I
give unto thee the secrets so that ye, too, may rise to the Heavens -
God-men in Truth as in essence ye be. Depart now and leave me while I summon those
Ye know of but as yet know not.
Tablet XV: Secret of Secrets
Now ye assemble my children, waiting to hear the Secret of Secrets which
Shall give ye power to unfold the God-man, give ye the way to Eternal life.
Plainly shall I speak the Unveiled Mysteries. No dark saying shall I give unto thee.
Open thine ears now my children. Hear and obey the words that I give.
First I shall speak of the fetter of darkness which bind ye in chains to the
sphere of the Earth.
Darkness and Light are both of one nature, different only in seeming, for
Each arose from the source of all. Darkness is disorder. Light is Order. Darkness
transmuted is light of the Light. This, my children, your purpose in being;
transmutation of darkness to Light.
Hear ye now of the mystery of nature, the relations of life to the Earth
Where it dwells. Know ye, ye are threefold in nature, physical, astral and mental
In one. Three are the qualities of each of the natures; nine in all, as above,
So below.
In the physical are these channels, the blood which moves in vortical
motion, reacting on the heart to continue its beating. Magnetism which moves through
the nerve paths, carrier of energies to all cells and tissues. Akasa which
flows through channels, subtle yet physical, completing the channels. Each
of the three attuned with each other, each affecting the life of the body. From
they the Skeletal framework through which the subtle ether flows. In their
mastery lies the Secret of life in the body. Relinquished only by will of
the adept, when his purpose in living is done.
Three are the natures of the Astral, mediator is between above and below;
Not of the physical, not of the Spiritual, but able to move above and below.
Three are the natures of Mind, carrier it of the Will of the Great One.
Arbitrator of Cause and Effect in thy life. Thus if formed the threefold
being, directed from above by the power of four. Above and beyond man's
threefold nature lies the real of the Spiritual Self. Four is it in
qualities, shining in each of the planes of existence, but thirteen in one, the
mystical number. Based on the qualities of man are the Brothers: each shall direct
the unfoldment of being, each shall channels be of the Great One.
On Earth, man is in bondage, bound by space and time to the earth plane.
Encircling each planet, a wave of vibration, binds him to his plane of
unfoldment. Yet within man is the Key to releasement, within man may freedom
be found.
When ye have released the self from the body, rise to the outermost bounds
Of your earth-plane. Speak ye the word DOR-E-UL-LA. Then for a time your Light
will be lifted, free may ye pass the barriers of space. For a time of half
of the sun (six hours), free may ye pass the barriers of earth-plane, see and
know those who are beyond thee. Yea, to the highest worlds may be pass. See
your own possible heights of unfoldment, know all earthly futures of Soul.
Bound are ye in your body, but by the power ye may be free. This is the
Secret whereby bondage shall be replaced by freedom for thee.
Calm let thy mind be. At rest be thy body: Conscious only of freedom from
flesh. Centre thy being on the goal of they longing. Think over and over
that thou wouldst be free. Think of this word - LA-UM-I-L-GAN over and over in
thy mind let it sound Drift with the sound to the place of thy longing. Free
from the bondage of flesh by thy will.
Hear ye while I give the greatest of secrets: how ye may enter the Halls of
Amenti, enter the place of the immortals as I did, stand before the Lords in
their places.
Lie ye down in rest of thy body. Calm thy mind so no thought disturbs thee.
Pure must ye be in mind and in purpose, else only failure will come unto
thee. Vision Amenti as I have told in my Tablets. Long with fullness of heart to
be there Stand before the Lords in thy mind's eye. Pronounce the words of power
I give (mentally); MEKUT-EL-SHAB-EL HALE-ZUR-BEN-EL-ZABRUT ZIN-EFRIM-QUAR-EL.
Relax thy mind and thy body. Then be sure your soul will be called.
Now give I the Key to Shamballa, the place where my Brothers live in the
darkness: Darkness but filled with Light of the Sun - Darkness of Earth, but
Light of the Spirit, guides for ye when my day is done.
Leave thou thy body as I have taught thee. Pass to the barriers of the deep,
hidden place. Stand before the gates and their guardians. Command thy
entrance by these words: "I am the Light. In me is no darkness. Free am I of the
bondage of night. Open thou the way of the Twelve and the One, so I may pass
to the realm of wisdom." When they refuse thee, as surely they will, command
them to open by these words of power: "I am the Light. For me are no
barriers. Open, I command, by the Secret of Secrets - EDOM-EL-AHIM-SABBERT-ZUR ADOM."
Then if thy words have been "Truth" of the highest, open for thee the
Barriers will fall.
Now, I leave thee, my children. Down, yet up, to the Halls shall I go. Win
Ye the way to me, my children. Truly my brothers shall ye become.
Thus finish I my writings. Keys let them be to those who come after. But
