The Law of Cause and Effect
and The Key of Prophecy
List ye, O man, to the words of my wisdom,
list to the voice of Thoth,
the Atlantean.
Conquered have I the Law of time-space.
Knowledge have I gained of the future of time.
Know I that man in his
movement through
space-time shall ever be One with the All
Know ye, O man,
that all of the future is an open book
to him who can
read.
All effect shall bring forth its causes
as all effects grew from
the first cause.
Know ye the future is not fixed or
stable but varies as
cause brings forth an effect.
Look in the cause thou shalt bring into being,
and surely thou shalt see that all is effect.
So, O man, be sure the effects that ye bring
forth are ever causes of
more perfect effects.
Know ye the future is never in fixation but
follows
man's free will as it moves through
the movements of time-space toward
the goal where a new time begins.
Man can only read the future through
the causes that bring the effects.
Seek ye within the causation and
surely ye shall find the effects.
List ye, O man, while I speak of the future,
speak of the effect that
follows the cause.
Know ye that man in his journey light-ward
is ever
seeking escape from the night that surrounds him,
like the shadows that
surround the stars in the sky
and like the stars in the sky-space, he, too,
shall shine from the shadows of night.
Ever his destiny shall lead him onward
until he is One with the
Light.
Aye, though his way lies midst the shadows,
ever before
him glows the Great Light.
Dark though the way be yet shall he
conquer
the shadows that flow around him like night.
Far in the future, I see man as Light-born,
free from the darkness
that fetters the Soul,
living in Light without the bounds of the
darkness
to cover the Light that is Light of their Soul.
Know ye, O man, before ye attain this that
many the dark shadows shall
fall on your Light
striving to quench with the shadows of darkness
the Light of the Soul that strives to be free.
Great is the struggle between Light and darkness,
age old and yet
ever new. Yet, know in a time, far in the future,
Light shall be All
and darkness shall fall.
List ye, O man, to my words of wisdom.
Prepare and ye shall not bind your
Light.
Man has risen and man has fallen as ever new
waves of
consciousness flow from the great
abyss below us toward the Sun of
their goal.
Ye, my children, have risen from a state
that was little above the beast,
until now of all men ye are greatest.
Yet before thee were others greater
than thee.
Yet tell I thee as before thee others have fallen,
so also
shall ye come to an end.
And upon the land where ye dwell now,
barbarians shall dwell and in turn
rise to Light.
Forgotten shall be the ancient-wisdom,
yet ever
shall live though hidden from men.
Aye, in the land thou callest Khem,
races shall rise and races shall
fall.
Forgotten shalt thou be of the children of men.
Yet thou shalt
have moved to a star-space
beyond this leaving behind this place where thou
has dwelt.
The Soul of man moves ever onward,
bound not by any one star.
But ever moving to the great goal before him
where he is dissolved in the
Light of the All.
Know ye that ye shall ever go onward,
moved by
the Law of cause and effect
until in the end both become
One
Aye, man, after ye have gone,
others shall move in the places ye lived.
Knowledge and wisdom shall all be forgotten,
and only a memory of Gods
shall survive.
As I to thee am a God by my knowledge,
so ye, too shall
be Gods of the future
because of your knowledge far above theirs.
Yet
know ye that all through the ages,
man shall have access to Law when
he will.
Ages to come shall see revival of wisdom
to those who shall inherit thy
place on this star.
They shall, in turn, come into wisdom
and learn to
banish the darkness by Light.
Yet greatly must they strive through
the ages
to bring unto themselves the freedom of Light.
Then shall there come unto man the great warfare
that shall make the
Earth tremble and shake in its course.
Aye, then shall the Dark
Brothers
open the warfare between Light and the night.
When man again shall conquer the ocean and fly
in the air on wings like
the birds;
when he has learned to harness the lightning,
then shall the
time of warfare begin.
Great shall the battle be twixt the forces,
great
the warfare of darkness and Light.
Nation shall rise against nation
using the dark forces to shatter the
Earth.
Weapons of force shall wipe out the Earth-man
until half of the
races of men shall be gone.
Then shall come forth the Sons of the
Morning
and give their edict to the children of men, saying:
O
men, cease from thy striving against thy brother.
Only thus can ye come to
the Light.
Cease from thy unbelief, O my brother,
and follow the path and
know ye are right.
Then shall men cease from their striving,
brother against brother and
father against son.
Then shall the ancient home of my people rise
from
its place beneath the dark ocean waves.
Then shall the Age of Light
be unfolded
with all men seeking the Light of the goal.
Then
shall the Brothers of Light rule the people.
Banished shall be the
darkness of night.
Aye, the children of men shall progress
onward and upward to the great
goal.
Children of Light shall they become.
Flame of the
flame shall their Souls ever be.
Knowledge and wisdom shall be man's
in the great age for he shall approach the eternal flame,
the
Source of all wisdom,
the place of beginning,
that is yet
One with the end of all things.
Aye, in a time that is yet unborn,
all shall be One and One
shall be All.
Man, a perfect flame of this Cosmos,
shall
move forward to a place in the stars.
Aye, shall move even from out of this
space-time
into another beyond the stars.
Long have ye listened to me,
O my children,
long have ye listened to
the wisdom of Thoth.
Now I depart from ye into darkness.
Now go I to the
Halls of Amenti,
there to dwell in the future when Light
shall come again to man.
Yet, know ye, my Spirit shall ever be
with thee,
guiding thy feet in the pathway of Light.
Guard ye the secrets I leave with thee,
and surely my spirit will guard
thee through life.
Keep thine eyes ever on the pathway to wisdom.
Keep
the Light as thy goal evermore.
Fetter not thy Soul in bondage
of darkness;
free let it wing in its flight to the stars.
Now I depart thee to dwell in Amenti.
Be thou my children in this
life and the next.
The time will come when ye, too, shall be
deathless,
living from age to age a Light among men.
Guard ye the entrance to the Halls of Amenti.
Guard ye the secrets
I have hidden among ye.
Let not the wisdom be cast to barbarians.
Secret
shall thou keep it for those who seek Light.
Now depart I.
Receive thou my blessing.
Take thou my way and follow the Light.
Blend thou thy Soul in the Great Essence.
One, with the Great Light let
thy consciousness be.
Call thou on me when thou dost need me.
Use my name
three times in a row:
Chequetet, Arelich, Volmalites.
