Section 12

"This is the Spirit of Truth, which the world cannot comprehend without the interposition of the Holy Ghost, or without the instruction of those who knew it. The same is of a mysterious nature, wondrous strength and boundless power. The saints from the beginning of the world have desired to behold its face for it heals all dead and living bodies.

God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
Here Christ is my witness that I lie not, for all heavenly influences are united and combined therein. This essence also reveals all treasures in earth and sea, converts all metallic bodies into gold, and there is nothing like unto it under heaven. This Spirit is the secret, hidden from the beginning, yet granted by God to a few holy men for the revealing of these riches to His glory — dwelling in fiery form in the air, and leading earth with itself to heaven, while from its body there flows whole rivers of living water. This Spirit flies through the midst of the heavens like a morning mist, leads its burning fire into the water and has its shining realm in the heavens. And although these writings may be regarded as false by the reader, yet to the initiated they are true and possible, when the hidden sense is properly understood. For God is wonderful in His works and His wisdom is without end. This Spirit in its fiery form is called a Sandaraca, in the aerial a Kybrick, in the watery an Azoth, in the earthly Alcohouh and Aliocosoph. Hence they are de- ceived by these names, who, without instruction, think to find this Spirit of Life in things foreign to our art. For, although this Spirit which we seek, on account of its quali- ties, is called by these names, yet the same is not in these bodies and cannot be in them. For a refined Spirit can- not appear except in a body suitable to its nature. And, by however many names it may be called, let no one imagine that there be different spirits, for, say what one will, there is but one Spirit working everywhere and in all things. That is the spirit which, when rising, illumi- nates the heavens, when setting incorporates the purity of earth, and when brooding has embraced the waters. This spirit is named Raphael, the Angel of God, the subtlest and purest, whom the others all obey as their king.
Through the same, Moses made the golden vessels in the Ark, and King Solomon did many beautiful works to the honor of God. Therewith Moses built the Taber- nacle, Noah the Ark, Solomon the Temple. By this Ezra restored the Law and Miriam, Moses' sister, was hos- pitable. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and other righteous men have had life-long abundance and riches, and all the
[115]

saints possessing it have therewith praised God. For it is the best of all things, because, of all things mortal that man can desire in this world, nothing can compare with it, and in it alone is truth. Hence it is called the STONE and Spirit of Truth; its praises cannot be sufficiently ex- pressed.
O, unfathomable abyss of God's wisdom, which thus hath united and comprised in the virtue and power of One Spirit the qualities of all existing bodies. O, unspeakable honor and boundless joy granted to mortal man; for the destructible things of nature are restored by virtue of said Spirit. O, mystery of mysteries, most secret of all secret things, and healing and medicine of all things. Thou last discovery in earthly natures, last best gift to Patriarchs and Sages, greatly desired by the whole world. O, what a wondrous and laudable spirit is purity in which stand all joy, riches, fruitfulness of life, and art of all arts, a power, which to Initiates grants all material joys. O, de- sirable knowledge lovely above all things beneath the circle of the Moon, by which nature is strengthened, and heart and limbs are renewed, blooming youth is preserved, old age driven away, weakness destroyed, beauty and its perfection preserved and abundance insured in all things to men. O, thou Spiritual substance, lovely above all things. O, thou wondrous power, strengthening all the world. O, thou invincible virtue, highest of all that is, although despised by the ignorant, yet held by the wise in great praise, honor and glory, that proceeding from humors' wakest the dead, expellest diseases and restorest the voice of the dying. O, thou treasure of treasures, mystery of mysteries, .called by Avicenna uAn unspeak- able substance," the purest and most perfect soul of the world, than which is nothing more costly under heaven, unfathomable in nature and power, wonderful in virtue and works, having no equal among creatures, possessing the virtues of all bodies under heaven. For from it flows the water of life, the OIL AND HONEY of eternal healing, and thus hath it nourished them with honey and water from the rock. Therefore, saith Morienus: "He who hath it the same hath all things." Blessed art thou, Lord God of our fathers, in that thou hast given the
[116]

prophets this knowledge and understanding that they have hidden these things (lest they should be discovered by the blind and those drowned in worldly godlessness) by which the wise and the pious have praised thee.
uOh, you doubtful man, you Peter of little faith, who are moved by each wind and sink easily. You are your- self the cause of all your diseases, because your faith is so little and feeble, and your own evil thoughts are your enemies. Moreover, you have hidden within yourself a magnet which attracts those influences which correspond to your will, and this celestial magnet is of such power that for more than a hundred, or even thousands of miles, it attracts that which you desire out of the four elements."
Moral : Purify your desires. Save the seed.
"Matter and force are one and originate from the same
cause."
"True knowledge consists in a direct recognition of TRUTH, and is taught by nature herself."
"The highest aspect of alchemy is the regeneration of man in the Spirit of God from the material elements of his physical body. The physical body itself is the greatest of mysteries, because in it are contained, in a condensed, solidified and corporeal state, the very essences which go to make up the substance of the material man, and this is the secret of the "Philosopher's Stone." The sign in which the true alchemist works is the cross, because man, standing erect among his brothers of the animal kingdom, roots with his material elements in the earth, penetrates with his soul through the elementary forces of nature to suffer and die, but his head reaches above the animal creation into the pure atmosphere of heaven."
"All the powers of the universe are potentially con- tained in man, and man's physical body and all his organs are nothing else but products and representatives of the powers of nature. What is the human body but a con- stellation of the same powers that formed the stars in the sky? He who knows what Iron is, knows the attributes of Mars. He who knows Mars, knows the qualities of iron. What would become of your heart if there were no sun in the universe? To grasp the invisible elements, to attract them by their material correspondences, to con-
[117]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
trol, purify and transform them by the living power of the Spirit — this is true alchemy."
"Faith is a luminous star that leads the honest seeker into the mysteries of nature. You must seek your point of gravity with God ('Seek ye first the Kingdom of God') and put your trust into an honest, divine, sincere, pure and strong faith, and cling to it with your whole heart, soul, sense and thought, full of love and confidence. If you have such a faith, God will not withhold his Truth from you, but He will reveal His works to you, credibly, visibly and consolingly. This means that by the power of God acting within you and opening your own inner senses, God will reveal His works within yourself; so that His wisdom being born within, you may recognize through you, and you with it, the truth in all nature."
"Nature is the universal Mother of all and, if you are in harmony with her, if the mirror of your mind has not been made blind by the cobwebs of speculations and mis- conceptions and erroneous theories she will hold up before you a mirror in which you will see the truth. But he who is not true to himself will not see the truth as it is taught by nature, and it is far easier to study a number of books and to learn by heart a number of scientific theories than to ennoble ones own character to such an extent as to enter into perfect harmony with nature and be able to see the truth."
"Those living in vice are unworthy of it. Therefore is this Art to be shown to all God-fearing persons, because it cannot be bought with a price. I testify before God that I lie not, although it appears impossible to fools that no one hath hitherto explored Nature so deeply. The Almighty be praised for having created this Art — the seed) and for revealing it to God-fearing men. Amen! And thus is fulfilled this precious and excellent work, called the revealing of the Occult Spirit, in which be hidden the secrets and mysteries of the world. But this Spirit is one genius, one divine, wonderful and lordly power. For it embraces the whole world and overcomes the elements. TO OUR TRISMEGISTUS SPA- GYRUS, JESUS CHRIST, BE PRAISE AND GLORY IMMORTAL. AMEN!"

EXTRACTS FROM THE SECRET DOCTRINE
By Madam H. P. Blavatsky, the Greatest Occultist of the 20th Century
4 4£JEED OF LIFE, FISH: While Vaivasvata was
^^ engaged in devotion on the river bank, a FISH
craves his protection from a bigger fish. He saves
it and places it in a jar (solar plexus) which, growing
larger and larger, it communicates to him the news of
the forthcoming deluge."
"Vaivasvata Manu, the Son of Surya, the Sun and Savior of our race, is connected with the SEED OF LIFE, both physically and spiritually."
"For them the passage entrance and the Sarcophagus in the King's Chamber meant regeneration, not gener- tion. It was the most solemn symbol, a HOLY OF HOLIES, indeed, wherein were created Immortal Hiero- phants and Sons of God."
Page 63, Vol. Ill: " The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second (inner — our higher) man is the Lord from heaven * * * Behold, I show you a mystery.' — Bible. Thus says Paul, mentioning the dual and trini- tarian man for the better comprehension of the non- initiated. But this is not all, for the Delphic injunction has to be fulfilled; man must know himself in order to become a perfect adept. How few can acquire the knowl- edge, however, not merely in its inner, mystical, but even in its literal sense, for there are two meanings in this command of the Oracle. This is the doctrine of Buddha and the Bodhisattvas pure and simple."
SATAN: "Many names hath God given him (Satan), names of mystery, secret and terrible."
"The adversary, because matter opposeth Spirit, and time accuseth even the saints of the Lord."
"For Satan is the magistrate of the Justice of God (Karma). He beareth the balance and the sword."
[119]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
"For to him are committed WEIGHT AND MEAS- URE AND NUMBER."
Hades, or the Limbo of Illusion, of which theology makes a region bordering on hell, IS SIMPLY OUR GLOBE, the earth, and thus Satan is called "the angel of the manifested worlds."
It is Satan who is the God of our planet and the ONLY GOD, and this without any metaphorical illusion to its wickedness and depravity. For he is one with the Logos.
"The Gnostics were right, then, in calling the Jewish God an 'Angel of Matter/ or he who breathed (con- scious) life into Adam, and whose planet was Saturn. 'I create good and I create evil, I the Lord God create all these things.' " — Bible, Isaiah.
"When the church, then, curses Satan, it curses the Kos- mic reflection of God. It anathematizes God made mani- fest in Matter, or in the objective; it maledicts God, or the ever-incomprehensible Wisdom, revealing itself as Light and Shadow, Good and Evil in Nature, in the only manner comprehensible to the limited intellect of man."
"It was by Kriyashakti, that mysterious and divine power, latent in the WILL of every man, which if not called to life, QUICKENED AND DEVELOPED BY YOGA TRAINING, remains dormant in 999,999 men out of a million, and so gets atrophied"
"It is this mysterious* POWER OF THOUGHT, which enables it to produce external, perceptible, pheno- menal results by its own inherent energy. The ancients held that any idea will manifest itself externally, if one's attention and will is deeply concentrated upon it."
"Mystically Jesus was held to be man-woman."
"The ship or ARK — Navis — in short, being the sym- bol of the female generative principle, is typified in the heavens by the moon and on earth by the womb; both being the vessels and bearers of the SEEDS of life and being, which the SUN, or Vishnu, the male principle (SON), vivifies and fructifies."
"Water is the symbol of the FEMALE ELEMENT everywhere: Mater, from which comes the letter 'M' is derived pictorially from MMM, a water hieroglyph."
[120]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
"The human Ego is neither Atman nor Buddhi, but the Higher Manas."
"MAN NOT CREATED FROM NOTHING: Very soon the day will dawn, when the world will have to choose whether it will accept the miraculous creation of man (and Kosmos) out of NOTHING, according to the dead letter of Genesis, or a first man born from a fantastic link, absolutely 'missing,' so far — the common ancestor of man, and of the 'true ape.' Between these TWO FALLACIES, Occult philosophy steps in. It teaches that the first human stock was projected by higher and semi-divine beings out of their own essences." (See Prov- erbs quoted elsewhere.)
"Man's (mankind) symbol is the cube unfolded and 6 becoming 7, or the 3 crossways (the female) and 4 vertically; and this is man, the culmination of the deity on earth, whose body is the cross of flesh. ON, THROUGH AND IN WHICH HE IS EVER CRU- CIFYING AND PUTTING TO DEATH THE DI- VINE LOGOS, HIS HIGHER SELF."
"A few years longer and this system (numerical and geometrical keys) will kill out the dead-letter reading of the Bible, as it will that of all the other exoteric faiths, by showing the dogmas in their real naked meaning. And then this undeniable meaning, however incomplete, will unveil the mystery of Being, and will, moreover, entirely change the modern scientific systems of Anthropology, Ethnology and especially that of Chronology."
"The glyph of Pharaoh's daughter (woman) and the Nile (the great deep and water) and the baby boy found floating therein in the ark of rushes, was not primarily composed for, or even by Moses. It was anticipated in the fragments found on the Babylonian titles, in the story of King Sargon, who lived far earlier than Moses."
[121]
WHY REINCARNATE?
IT is taken for granted that we, spiritual Egos, rein- carnate for the sole purpose of obtaining knowledge that will enable us to triumph over matter.
If this statement is a true presentation of the great mystery of flesh and blood, it is indubitable evidence that we failed to obtain the wisdom that we are seeking in all the past incarnations and experience in flesh and blood.
Nowhere in sacred, or secret script, do we find a line indicating that any definite number of incarnations are required for spiritual man, or the "I AM" before the realization comes as expressed in the language of the alle- gorical Master, "I can lay my body down and I can take it up again," and again, "All the things that I do ye can do and greater things shall ye do." The time to do this great work is now. "Now is the accepted TIME. Now is the day of Salvation."
It is most encouraging to those who seek the Kingdom of the Real to find in the physiological and chemical writ- ings of the Bible, that the process of attainment of this tremendous truth is so plainly set forth in both Old and New Testaments, that the "wayfaring man, though he be a fool," may understand.
There is but "One way whereby ye may be saved."
Jesus, the monthly seed, christened in the waters of Jordan, the marrow or oil of the spinal cord, and crucified (refined or transmuted) by crossing the nerves of regener- ation at the junction of the medulla and cerebellum at the base of the skull, Golgotha, where the christened or christed seed is crucified, or crossified, in the regenerative process.
Matthew 19th Chapter: "Ye which have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones judging the Twelve Tribes of Israel." Son of man refers
[122]
God-Man: The Word Made Flesh
to the seed, of which there are twelve and one-third born yearly, here represented by the Twelve Disciples of Jesus.
Israel also means the seeds "Warriors of God" and the twelve thrones are typical of the twelve bodily functions mastered by the regenerated seeds.
"The Kingdom of Heaven," "The Temple of God," "Work out your own salvation," and the multiple epi- grams of sacred symbolism are no longer meaningless phrases to be mouthed, parrot-like, but they are coming to be realized as the thunder-lipped speech from the Infinite One.
