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 exists 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:
Oh 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.
