INVOCATION 21 Of the vast ocean of the unmanifest Limitless Negativity of Light Flowing, in Jesus manifest, through space, In equilibrium, upon the world Illumined by the White Supernal Gleam Through the red Cross of Calvary : Come forth, My actual Self! Come forth, O dazzling one, Wrapped in the glory of the Holy Place Whence I have called thee : Come thou forth to me, And permeate my being, till my face Shine with thy light reflected, till my brows Gleam with thy starry symbol, till my voice Reach the Ineffable: Come forth, I say, And make me one with thee: that. all my ) ways May glitter with the holy influence, That I may be found worthy at the end To sacrifice before the Holy Ones : That in thy Glory, Strength, and Majesty, And by the Beauty and Harmony of Heaven That fills its fountains at the Well of Life, I may be mighty in the Universe. Yea, come thou forth, I mightily conjure Thy radiant Perfection, to compel All Spirits to be subject unto Me, That every spirit of the Firmament And of the Ether, and upon the Earth And under Earth, and of the stable land, Of water, of the whirling of the air, Of the all-rushing fire ; and every Spell And scourge of God the Vast One may be made Obedient unto me, to the All-Good And ultimate Redemption : Hear me, thou ! Eca, zodacare, Iad, goho, Torzodu odo kikale qaa ! Zodacare od zodameranu ! Zodorje, lape zodiredo Ol Noco Mada, das Iadapiel !

Wider than Heaven! O profounder blue Of the abyss of water! O thou flame Flashing through all the caverns of the night, Tongues leaping from the immeasurable Up through the glittering Steeps unmanifest To the ineffable! O Golden Sun! Vibrating glory of my higher self! I heard thy voice resounding in the Abyss : ‘‘T am the only being in the deep Of Darkness: let me rise and gird myself To tread the path of Darkness : even so I may attain the light. For from the Abyss I came before my birth: from those dim halls And silence of a primal sleep! And He, The Voice of Ages, answered me and said : Behold! for Iam He that formulates In darkness! Child of Earth! the Light doth shine In darkness, but the darkness understands - No ray of that initiating light !” Now, by Initiation’s dangerous path And groping aspiration, came I forth Where the White Splendour shone upon the Throne, Even to the Temple of the Holy Ones: Now, by that Light, come forth, I say, to me, My Lady of the Starlight and the Moon! Come and be absolute within my mind, That I may take no dim remembrance back To drown this glory with earth’s quivering gloom. But, O abide within Me! Every hour I need the lofty and the limpid stream Of that White Brilliance : Leave me not alone, O Holy Spirit! Come to comfort me, To draw me, and to make me manifest, Osiris to the weeping world ; that I Be lifted up upon the Cross of Pain And Sacrifice, to draw all human kind And every germ of matter that hath life, Even after me, to the ineffable Kingdom of Light! O holy, holy Queen! Let thy wide pinions overshadow me ! I am, the Resurrection and the Life! The Reconciler of the Light and Dark. I am the Rescuer of mortal things. Iam the Force in Matter manifest.
