mental and spiritual ideals; aspiration to become that which we feel to be 

noble and true; the symbol of the monad; the soul which; receiving its life 

from the Sunthe Egois constantly revealing new forces and potencies 

of that God…life。 Each soul's Ego is its maker and God。 The Ego is like the 

Deific potency of the universe; unlimited in potential power; but limited 

by  its   monad   as   to   what   will   be   evolved   from  its   awful   depth   of   being。 

Deity   progresses   through   its   expressions   of   the   cosmos。   The   Ego;   your 

God;   finds   progressive   expression   through   you;   through   your   soul。   That 

soul   is   not   immortal   that   becomes   separated   from   its   Egoits   God。   So; 

soul; spread your spiritual wings and soar upward。 

    O child of Adam! Know these three things: Eternity is the creator of 

the   universal   life;   universal   life   creates   the   world;   and   the   world   is   the 

creator of time。 And of these; the Universe is Life; and the World is Mind; 

and   Time   is   the   Soul。   The   sum   total   of   all   is   Experience。   And   this   is 

individual; conscious life〃Jacta est alea〃 (the die is cast)the wings are 

spread。

    TABLET THE TENTH 

    The     unknown     in  very   truth。  It  is  everythingit   is  also  nothing。 

Inconceivable      visions   arise   within   the  mental    universe;   but   nothing 

assumes definite form。 It is all that is past。 It is likewise everything that the 

future has in store。 Amen。

                                 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT 



    VISION 

     Each   angel   standing   in   front   of   the   symbol   is   dimly   outlined   and 

transparent。 Through the angel's form is seen its symbol。 

    FIRST A luminous something; which gives the impression of sleep。 

     SECOND Something moving; like an ocean。 

     THIRD A storm; and lightning。 

    FOURTH A mist。 

    FIFTH An animal moving; resembling a turtle。 

     SIXTH A blue light; in the center a star with three points。 

     SEVENTH An expanse of water; a blue sky; a shining disk rising on 

the horizon。 

     EIGHTH A lurid sky; like a red dawn; in the water floats an egg。 

    NINTH Five stars on a convex arc; like a rainbow; the shell of the egg 

is broken and forms continents。 

     TENTH A man lying fast asleep under a magnificent palm tree; with 

his face turned toward the horizon of the sea。 

       EXPLANATION 

     Only the pure in heart can see God; and to those pure souls I commend 

the following brief explanation of the Vision of the Angels of Life; which I 

have here recorded for the benefit of all whom it may now and hereafter 

concern。 

     In the original Vision of the Tablets of Aeth a great circle was seen; in 

the   center   a   head;   a   faint   shimmer   above   the   head;   as   if   the   light   were 

about to dawn; a dull; lurid glow beneath; as if of chaos or hell; the hair 

around the head like floating clouds; the beard like strange cloud…streaks。 

Each sign of the Zodiac surrounding the center head had within it a faintly 

seen face。 Beginning with the first; it became more and more distinct and 

perfect with each sign until it evolved into godlike beauty in Pisces。 

     The    symbolic    planets   were   around    the  Zodiac;   and   beyond    these; 

making a third grand circle; were the ten Evolutionary Angels。 The vision 

is that   of the   evolution   of all   life;   spiritual and   material。 We gaze   at   the 

cosmic sex mystery; and the discerning   mind; the loving spirit; can   read 

the correspondence of the great sacred conjugal act of both man and God; 

of its heights; of its depths; and of all that lies between。

                                 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT 



     To aid in meditation on the bead at the center; herein is written a vision; 

an experience of the soul in the Sleep of Sialam。 

     The   Hermetic   brethren   encircled   my   astral   body;   which   was   deeply 

entranced。     〃From     whence;〃     the  great   question;   quivered     through    my 

inmost being。 To answer that awful problem of the soul the released spirit 

went    on   its  fearsome    journey;   back   through    star  systems;    back;   back 

beyond   all   stars;   back   to   the   blackness   of   nothing   that   awful   nothing; 

whose     outside    ring  vibrated    with   fearful  flames;    the  fiery  cherubim; 

winged; taking all possible shapes; and unformed living shapes。 A human 

flamed     and   changed    and   vanished。    The   tornado    of  whirling;   flashing; 

chaotic   life  swirled   and   drove  through   the  darkness   of   chaos   of   nothing 

from    nothingand     that  great;   unknown     abyss    is  God!   But   the  life  is 

EVOLUTIONARY。 

     Deity   is   progressive;   so   never   can   man   cease   to   be。   Never   can   he 

return    to  that   awful  center  of   nothingness;    or  be   absorbed    within   the 

bosom of the unmanifested being。 On; and on; and on; with Deific power; 

God moves in ever…increasing whirls of evolution。 

     Thus   came   the   answer   of   the   ages:   〃From   primeval   force;   from   the 

mighty breath of unmanifested being; through every phase of action and 

reaction;    from   the   energies   of  storm    and   lightning;   from   star…dust   to 

sunlight; has come the spirit of man!〃 

     And the Astral Brethren understood。

     A human being; with a flaming; burning heart。 

     II SYMBOL

                             CHAPTER XII 



                                      PENETRALIA 



     THE SECRET OF THE SOUL 

     We   have   now   arrived   at   our   final   study;   which   we   have   approached 

step by step amid the labyrinth of the mysteries concealed beneath the Veil 

of Isis。 We stand at last upon the very threshold of the sacred Adytum; the 

〃Holy     of  Holies;〃    from   whence     proceeds     our  final   revelation   of  that 

inmost conception of Man's identity with his Creatorthe Penetralia of his 

Beingthe last secret of the incarnated soul。 

     The written word almost fails usdoes fail in fact; when we come to 

the   difficult   task  of  externalizing     ideas;  the  sublimity    of   which    is  so 

infinitely beyond the crystallized images of matter that; they can only be 

realized in their true glory; when the purified soul can view them from the 

ineffable heights of eternal spirit。 We are lost; dazed; at the brilliancy of 

the spiritual imagery that opens out before us; in its fathomless stretch of 

the   eternities   that   are   past;   of   the   ever…   imperishable   present;   and   the 

unborn eternities yet to be; all of them linked together in one grand chain 

of   spiritual   relationship   and   deathless   identity;   as   Man;   the Angel;   God; 

and    God;    the  Angel;    Man;    as  the   triune  Cycle    of  Being;    within   the 

incomprehensible   Cycle   of   Necessity;   which   constitutes   Nature's   cosmic 

university for the complete graduation; education; and purification; of that 

self…conscious; Deific atom of life; whose expression becomes the human 

soul。 Ah! my brothers could you; but for one single instant; realize WHO 

you are; WHERE you are journeying; and WHAT your final destiny; every 

earthly   moment   at   your   disposal   would   be   rightly   used;   and   every   hour 

considered too short for your efforts to aid your fellow…man。 Selfishness; 

wealth;   and   power;   would   be   so   utterly   contemptible   in   your   sight   that 

their possession would be considered a fearful affliction and a curse; the 

moment       they    exceeded      the   comfortable      requirements      of   mundane 

existence。 

     Leave   self   and   the   world   behind   you   for   t
