Tablet IX: The Key of Freedom of Space
List ye, O man, hear ye my voice, teaching of Wisdom and Light in 
this cycle; teaching ye how to banish the
darkness, teaching ye how to bring Light in thy life.
Seek ye,
O man, to find the great pathway that leads to eternal LIFE as a SUN.
Draw ye away from the veil of the darkness. Seek to become a Light in
the world. Make of thyself a vessel for Light, a focus for the Sun of
this space.
Lift thou thine eyes to the Cosmos. Lift
thou thine eyes to the Light. Speak in the words of the Dweller, the
chant that calls down the Light. Sing thou the song of freedom. Sing
thou the song of the Soul.
Create the high vibration that will make thee
One with the Whole. Blend all thyself with the Cosmos. Grow into ONE with the Light. Be
thou a channel of order, a pathway of LAW to the world.
Thy LIGHT, O man, is the great LIGHT,
shining through the shadow of flesh. Free must thou rise from the
darkness before thou art One with the LIGHT.
Shadows of darkness surround thee. Life
fills thee with its flow. But know,
O man, thou must arise and forth thy body go far to the planes that
surround thee and yet are One with thee, too.
Look all
around thee, O man. See 
thine own light reflected.
Aye, even in the darkness around thee, thine own Light pours forth
through the veil.
Seek thou for wisdom always. Let not thine
body betray. Keep in the path of the Light wave. Shun thou the darkened
way. Know thee that wisdom is lasting. Existing since the ALL-SOUL
began, creating harmony from by the Law that exists in the WAY.
List ye, o man, to the teachings of
wisdom. List to the voice that speaks of the past-time. Aye, I shall
tell thee knowledge forgotten, tell ye of wisdom hidden in past-time,
lost in the midst of darkness around me.
K
now ye, man, ye are the ultimate of all things. Only the knowledge of this is forgotten,
lost when man was cast into bondage, bound and fettered by the chains
of the darkness.
Long, long ago, I cast off my body.
Wandered I free through the vastness of ether, circled the angles that
hold man in bondage. Know ye, O man, ye are only a spirit. The body is
nothing. The Soul is ALL.
Let not your body be a fetter. Cast off the darkness and travel in
Light. Cast off your body, O man, and be free, truly a Light that is
ONE with the Light.
When ye are free from the fetters of
darkness and travel in space as the SUN of the LIGHT, then ye shall
know that space in not boundless but truly bounded by angles and
curves. Know ye, O man, that all that exists is only an aspect of
greater things yet to come. Matter is fluid and flows like a stream,
constantly changing from one thing to another.
All through the ages has knowledge
existed; never been changed, though buried in darkness; never been
lost, though forgotten by man.
Know ye that throughout the space that ye
dwell in are others as great as your own, interlaced through the heart
of your matter yet separate in space of their own.
Once in a time long forgotten, I THOTH,
opened the doorway, penetrated into other spaces and learned of the
secrets concealed. Deep in the essence of matter are many mysteries
concealed.
Nine are the interlocked dimensions, and
Nine are the cycles of space. Nine are the diffusions of consciousness,
and Nine are the 
worlds within worlds. Aye, Nine are the Lords
of the cycles that come from above and below.
Space is filled with concealed ones, for
space is divided by time. Seek ye
the key to the time-space, and ye shall unlock the gate.
Know ye that throughout the time-space consciousness surely exist.
Though from our knowledge it is hidden, yet still forever exists.
The key to worlds within thee are found
only within. For man is the gateway of mystery and the key that is One
with the One.
Seek ye within the circle. Use the WORD I
shall give. Open the gateway within thee, and surely thou, too, shall
live. Man, ye think that ye liveth, but know it is life within death.
For as sure as ye are bound to your body, for you no life exists. Only
the Soul is space-free, has life that is really a life. All else is
only a bondage, a fetter from which to be free.
Think not that man is earth-born, though
come from the earth he may be. Man is light-born spirit. But, without
knowing, he can never be free. Darkness surrounds the light-born.
Darkness fetters the Soul. Only the one who is seeking may ever hope to
be free.
Shadows around thee are falling darkness
fills all the space. Shine forth, O LIGHT of the man-soul. Fill thou
the darkness of space.
Ye are son of the GREAT LIGHT. Remember
and ye shall be free. Stay not thou in the shadows. Spring forth from
the darkness of 
night. Light, let thy Soul be, O SUN-BORN,
fill with glory of Light, Freed from the bonds of the darkness, a Soul
that is One with the Light.
Thou art
the key to all wisdom. Within thee is all time and space.
Live not in bondage to darkness. Free thou, thy Light-form from night.
Great Light that fills all the
Cosmos, flow thou fully to man. Make of his body a light-torch that
shall never be quenched among men.
Long in the past, sought I wisdom,
knowledge not known to man. Far to the past, I traveled into the space
where time began. Sought I ever knew knowledge to add to the wisdom I
knew. Yet only, I found, did the future hold the key to the wisdom I
thought.
Down, to the HOLES of AMENTI I journeyed,
the greater knowledge to seek. Ask of thee, LORDS of the CYCLES, they
way to the wisdom I sought. Asked the LORDS this question:
Where is the source of ALL?
Answered, in tones that were mighty, the voice of the LORD of the NINE:
Free thou thy soul from thy body and come forth with me
to the LIGHT.
Forth I came from my body, a glittering
flame in the night. Stood I before the LORD, bathed in the fire of
LIFE. Seized was I then by a force, great beyond knowledge of man. Cast
was I to thee Abyss through spaces unknown to man.
Saw I the moldings of Order from the chaos and angles
of night. Saw I the LIGHT, spring from Order and heard the voice of the
Light. Saw I the flame of the Abyss, casting forth Order and Light. Saw
Order spring out of chaos. Saw Light giving forth Life.
Then heard I the voice. Hear
thou and understand. The flame is the source of all things, containing
all things in potentiality. The Order that sent forth light is the WORD
and from the WORD, COME LIFE and the existence of all.
And again spoke the voice saying:THE
LIFE in thee is the WORD. Find thou the LIFE within thee and have
powers to use of the WORD.
Long I watched the Light-flame, pouring
forth from the Essence of Fire, realizing that LIFE but Order and that
man is one with the fire.
Back I came to my body stood again with
the Nine, listened to the voice of the Cycles, vibrate with powers they
spoke: Know ye, O Thoth, that LIFE is but thee WORD of the
FIRE. The LIFE forth ye seek before thee is but the WORD in the World
as a fire. Seek ye the path to the WORD and Powers shall surely be
thine.
Then asked I of the Nine:O Lord,
show me the path. Give the path to the wisdom. Show me the way to the
WORD. Answered, me then, the LORD OF THE NINE:
Through ORDER, ye shall find the way. Saw ye
that the WORD came from Chaos? Saw ye not that LIGHT came from FIRE?
Look in thy life for this order. Balance
and order thy life. Quell all the Chaos of the emotions
and thou shalt have order in LIFE. ORDER brought forth from Chaos will
bring thee the WORD of the SOURCE, will thee the power of CYCLES, and
make of thy Soul a force that freewill extend through the ages, a
perfect SUN from the Source.
Listened I to the voice and deep thanked
the words in my heart. Forever have I sought for order that I might
draw on the WORD. Know ye that he who attains it must ever in ORDER be
for use of the WORD though this order has never and can never be.
Take ye these words, O man. As part of thy
life, let them be. Seek thee to conquer this order and One with the
WORD thou shalt be.
Put forth thy effort in gaining LIGHT on
the pathway of Life. Seek to be One with the SUN/state. Seek to be
solely the LIGHT. Hold thou thy thought on the Oneness of Light with
the body of man. Know that all is Order from Chaos born into light.
