Hear ye now of the mystery of nature,
the relations of life to the Earth where
it dwells.
Know ye, ye are threefold in nature,
physical, astral and mental in one.

directed from above by the power of
four.

Three are the qualities of each of the
natures;
nine in all, as above, so below.
In the physical are these channels,
the blood which moves in vortical
motion,
reacting on the heart to continue its
beating.
Magnetism which moves through the
nerve paths,
carrier of energies to all cells and
tissues.
Akasa which flows through channels,
subtle yet physical, completing the
channels.
Each of the three attuned with each
other,
each affecting the life of the body.
Form they the skeletal framework
through
which the subtle ether flows.
In their mastery lies the Secret of Life
in the body.
Relinquished only by will of the adept,
when his purpose in living is done.
Three are the natures of the Astral,
mediator is between above and below;
not of the physical, not of the Spiritual,
but able to move above and below.
Three are the natures of Mind,
carrier it of the Will of the Great One.
Arbitrator of Cause and Effect in thy
life.
Thus is formed the threefold being,

Above and beyond man's threefold
nature
lies the realm of the Spiritual Self.
Four is it in qualities,
shining in each of the planes of
existence,
but thirteen in one,
the mystical number.
Based on the qualities of man are the
Brothers:
each shall direct the unfoldment of
being,
each shall channels be of the Great
One.
On Earth, man is in bondage,
bound by space and time to the earth
plane.
