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
the Lords of the Cycles;
