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 by LAW.
For know ye 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 last ALL ONES become ONE
Forth were WE formed after our
order:
THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX, SEVEN, EIGHT-NINE.
Know ye that these are the numbers of
cycles
that WE descend from unto man.
Each having here a duty to fulfill;
each 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
them 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 cycle 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.
