…en light through darkness. In this it is dark- ness through light. The word of the Adept was L V X, Light. The word of the Master of the Temple is N O X, Night. This isthe Night of Pan. The direction of the Path is definitely changed. The Master of the Temple cannot go to the Magus unless bringing the Neophyte himself in his hand, and in this task there is no consolation, as there has always been before. The visions are no more. Silence and stillness and darkness rule the grade. The Adept has through- out his progress been unifying himself. As …

…to the promise of the Gospel, there will be no more than one flock and one shepherd. XVI THE NUMBER SIXTEEN SIXTEEN is the number of the temple. Let us say what the temple of the future will be! When the spirit of intelligence and love shall have revealed itself, the whole trinity will manifest itself in its truth and in its glory. Humanity, become a queen, and, as it were, risen from the dead, will have the grace of childhood in its poesy, the vigour of youth in its reason, and the wisdom of ripe age in its works. All those forms, which the di…

…g the Brothers of the Silver Star comes the Vision of the Arrow. In the 4th A&thyr, the nature of the Great Work which the Master of the Temple must accomplish is shown more fully. The Holy Guardian Angel presents his Bride to the Mother, who presents her to the Father. One may remark that it is necessary to be a Master of the Temple before anything like a full understanding of these mysteries can be attained. In the 3rd A2thyr the Guards to the further Grades are exhibited. Now it may be asked, “ What has become of the blood of the Adept which…

In the 14th A:thyr we get the initiation itself. Fra. P. and his Chela, who was acting as his scribe, were upon Da'leh Addin, a mountain in the desert a few miles from Bou-Saada. It was found impossible to reach that A2thyr, and the Angel said, “ Depart, for thou must invoke me only in the darkness, for the mystery cannot be spoken in sight of the sun.” Frater Perdurabo therefore with…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING and the invocation made, after which an inscription recording the result was built. This invocation was of a very remarkable character. There had been a bar to the progress of Frater Perdurabo, a dualism in his conception of the Cosmos. He had not fully understood that the Universe was One, that one might in very truth eat and drink to the glory of God. He knew that by eating and drinking one did not necessarily detract from the glory of God, but had not fully understood the sacra- mentalism of the simplest action…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING However, this account in The Temple of Solomon the King is too clumsy, too overloaded with matter irrelevant to the main purpose, to serve as the book referred to in Lider Legis III. 39. It will form a book of reference for students, but not a popular treatise. Frater Perdurabo was conscious of this difficulty. A further revelation through another messenger was necessary before the matter could be brought to asatisfactory conclusion. It is unnecessary in this place to detail how this came about, as it is quite rec…

This Temple, into which they then retire, may be any convenient place.

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING brain reels before such a conception. And the human brain of the Master of the Temple is but little more fitted to under- stand this in his life as a man than if he had never entered on the Path at all. For the Ego has been totally destroyed, and he has nothing wherewith to bind together these things. He is not any of these things, for there is no He. Those things are. And of the results of this, and of how it may bear upon the question of his advancement to the Grade of Magus, who can say? It is not the Master of…

…efaction substituted for inspiration. Fanaticism is superstition become passionate, its name comes from the word fanum, which signifies “temple,” it is the temple put in the place of God, it is the human and temporal interest of the priest substituted for the honour of priesthood, the wretched passion of the man exploiting the faith of the believer. In the fable of the ass loaded with relics, La Fontaine tells us that the animal thought that he was being adored; he did not tell us that certain people indeed thought that they were adoring the an…

THE TEMPLE OF SOLOMON THE KING in Daath, the attainment of the Mind, or in Kether, the attainment of that which includes and transcends all, the message itself is simple. It involves no reference to facts. Frater Perdurabo may be a myth. The methods are experi- mental. Faith, in the conventional sense, is a condition of failure, not of success. The Word has been proclaimed. It is of no avail without the Work. 125

…hole earth, reclothed with the rich adornments which all the arts have embroidered for her, will no longer be anything but a magnificent temple, of which man shall be the eternal priest. All that was true, all that was beautiful, all that was sweet in the past centuries, will live once more glorified in this transfiguration of the world. And the beautiful form will remain inseparable from the true idea, as the body will one day be inseparable from the soul, when the soul, come to its own power, will have made itself a body in its own image.

Thinkest thou that there is life within the Masters of the Temple, that sit hooded, encamped upon the sea? Verily, there is no life in them. Their sandals were the pure light, and they have taken them from their feet and cast them down through the abyss, for this AEthyr is holy ground. Herein no forms appear, and the vision of God face to face, that is transmuted…

And I was about to answer him: “The light is within me.” But before I could frame the words, he answered me with the great word that is the Key of the Abyss. And he said: Thou hast entered the night; dost thou yet lust for day? Sorrow is my name, and affliction. I am girt about with tribulation. Here still hangs the Crucified One, and here the Mother weeps over the children that she hath not borne. Steri…
