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 son 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 should
must labor,
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 his 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.
