Three are the chambers of the
mysteries,
found yet not found in the body of
man.
Hear ye now of he who is liberated,
freed from the bondage of life into
Light.
Knowing the source of all worlds shall
be open.
Aye, even the Gates of Arulu shall not
be barred.
Yet heed, O man, who would'st enter
heaven.
If ye be not worthy,
better it be to fall into the fire.
Know ye the celestials pass through
the pure flame.
At every revolution of the heavens,
they bathe in the fountains of Light.
List ye, O man, to this mystery:
Long in the past before ye were manborn,
I dwelled in Ancient Atlantis.
There in the Temple,
I drank of the Wisdom,
poured as a fountain of Light
from the Dweller.
Give the key to ascend to the
Presence of Light in the Great world.
Stood I before the Holy One
enthroned in the Flower of Fire.
Veiled was he by the lightnings of
darkness,
else my Soul by the Glory have been
shattered.
Forth from the feet of his Throne like
the diamond,
rolled forth four rivers of flame from
his footstool,
rolled through the channels of clouds

to the Man-world.
Filled was the hall with Spirits of
Heaven.
Wonder of wonders was the Starry
palace.
Above the sky, like a rainbow of Fire
and Sunlight,
were Formed the Spirits.
Sang they the glories of the Holy One.
Then from the midst of the Fire came a
voice:
Behold the Glory of the first Cause.
I beheld that Light, high above all
darkness,
reflected in my own being.
I attained, as it were, to the God of all
Gods,
the Spirit-Sun, the Sovereign of the
Sun spheres.
