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