Verses 1 and 2
Once on a time, my mind was meditating, on the things that are.
By chance, my thought was raised to a great height! The senses of my body, being held back—just as people who are weighed down with sleep after a fill of food, or from fatigue of body.
Methought, a Being more than vast, in size beyond all bounds, called out my name inside me and saith…
What wouldst thou hear and see, and what hast thou in mind to learn and know?
And I do say: Who art thou?
He saith: I am The Authentia. The Wisdom of The Way; I know what thou desire and I’m with thee everywhere.
I replied, Sire, I long to learn the things that are, and comprehend their nature, and know God. This is, I said, is what I desire to hear.
He answered back to me: Hold in thy mind all thou wouldst know, and I will teach thee.
The Supreme Absolute, no mortal soul, no immortal, no creature can know; but I will show you in a Vision, in your Awareness.
Even with these words His aspect changed, and straightway, in the twinkling of an eye, all things were opened to me, and I Aware of a Vision limitless, all things turned into Light, sweet, joyous Light, and Dark Light, sweet, poignant Dark Light. And I became transported as I observed.
But in a little while Darkness came settling down on part of it. Formidable and ominous, coiling in sinuous folds, so that methought it like unto a whirlpool, of darkness ink…
And then the Darkness changed into some sort of a Moist Nature, tossed about beyond all power of words, belching out smoke as from a fire, and groaning forth a wailing sound of matter forged, that defies all description.
Thereon, out of the Divine Light, an Energy like a Divine Word, descended on that Moist Nature. And they commingled as if in loving passion, as if the universe in two energies, Dark and Bright, flowed the one into the other and rhythmic eruptions came forth. Upwards to the height from the Moist Nature leaped forth pure Fire; Light was it, swift and active too.
Thereon, out of the never-ceasing Divine Play of Divine Lovers, male and female He made them, came forth an Energy likened unto a Divine Word, the Divine Sound, with its own Beautiful Rhythm and all possible tones of Vibrations; and the Word said, I Am the Way, the Reason, the Light, and the Laws.
Then saith to me the Authentia: Did’st understand this Vision what it means?
Nay, Sire, that I desire to know, I said.
That Beautiful Light is the creative Idea from Divine Mind which makes the Source of all, and within rests Divine Darkness and Divine Light. That Beautiful Light, He said, is the Idea of the Supreme Absolute to have Source, from where all Creative Potential flows.
In Source were the Two: manifesting as the Daughter of The Source, Moist and Dark Nature who appeared from the Light of Darkness; and the Son of The Source, Aethereal and Light Nature, who appeared from the Light of Brightness.
The Two flow from the Source. All that exist, exist in the Space which The Source creates with Divine Play of Creation. All Space fills with Aethereal Soup of all Potential, and the Two make their Word and in it, The Way.
What then? — begged I of the Lord, as my mind could not contain all of that.
Know that whichever exist in Creation, exists only because of Divine Source; from the Mind of the Supreme Absolute. Not separate are they, the Divine Source, and the Divine Mind of the Supreme Absolute, the one from other; and because of their common origin all is alive with Their Presence.
Know that whichever has soul, and whichever wisdom thou may have, and which thou seest and hears is the Supreme Daughter, from the Divine Source. Not separate are they, the Divine Daughter and the Source, the one from other; and because of their loving union all is alive with Their Presence. They are present in all Life.
Know that whichever have spirit, and whichever thou sense and think, is the Divine Son, from the Divine Mind of the Source. Not separate are they, the Son and Source, the one from the other; and because of their loving union all is endowed with Their Presence.
Know that whatever exists have the Daughter and the Son in essence; forever in Divine Play, and by that Play, all Energy Exist.
Know that which lifetimes thou had, which incarnations, which lives lived and all thou minds, and all thy kind, and all species, exist in The Way; manifested from the loving and passionate play of the Divine Son and the Divine Daughter. Not separate are they, The Way and the Son, and the Daughter and the Divine Source, the one from the other; and because of their loving union all are endowed with Their Presence.
Thanks be to Thee, I said.
So, understand the Bright Light and the Dark Light, and make friends with It, saith the Authentia to me.
I asked, Lord, through making friends with the Light, Lord, mayest I know the Supreme Absolute, the Creator God?
Thou mayest, but thou canst. No creature can know the Supreme Absolute, or the Source of all creative energies. Even if the pot may have affinity for the Potter, it canst know Him. What human language and the minds of immortals mayest say The Supreme Absolute or the Source from Divine Mind is, all is false, all lies. Hush! therefore, lest they blaspheme and lie about The Supreme Absolute.
You and I, all who exist manifest and exist unmanifest, observe The Source in all; the substance of all is Divine Energy, all that exist are species of energy of kinds; All from the Source that originate from Divine Mind.
Impossible it is to not think, desire, drink, smell, touch, see, experience, be aware, and observe the Energy of The Source, because it is within and without, it is in thee and I, it is the sand, the blood, the air, the plant, the insect, the animal, and fish on thy platter!
And I say: Lord, I am perplexed, what sayest Thee; the Divine Source be the fish and the plant?
When you have in mind the idea of a stool, the thought is not you; the stool is not you, the idea and work to create come from you, but is not you. Observer sees in the stool characteristics of how your mind thinks, but the stool is not you. The Absolute has in Mind the idea of the Source of all energies of creation; the energy of the idea comes from the Supreme Absolute; but is not the Absolute.
The Source of creative energies is not the Absolute but comes from the Absolute. An observer sees in the fish and the plant characteristics of how Divine Mind wills, but those creatures are not the Supreme Absolute.
After speaking thus, the Authentia gazed for long into my eye. I trembled at the presence of It in me.
When It released the gaze, another vision came: in Divine Source, the Light and the Darkness; images of Powers no human could number, came forth as in a mighty storm; our Cosmos growing without bounds, and the Divine Fire of Creation was encircled by a most mighty number of stars with planets; when subdued it had come unto a gentleness, and in the centre of the encirclements the Living Darkness breathed, the Cosmic Mind breathed, and governed.
So, understand the Cosmos expands and contracts beyond The Way. Understand the Absolute is the source and cause of Infinity.
And I say. Lord, whence then The Way?
In His place where He was created exists The Way, and He occupies a section of Space.
The Way sent forth Its Word and established the Three Domains; installed all the Laws of order, authority, and regulation for the Domains: the Domain of Soul energies, Domain of Matter energies, and the Domain of Spirit energies.
All three domains exist in the same space; the energies and Powers of them are not joined but separated by the Great Choristó. Each with energies and powers of its kind, each having beings of its kind. And, one species changes not to another species.
Each Domain is a universe, each according to its type. The three universes are below the universes in the Divine Chaos for those we canst know. Protected we are from them.
For such, The Way is endowed with Divine Reason. Manifest and unmanifest Energies of all three Domains happen in the same space. All things flow as regulated by Laws, all, by The Way it is; The Way it shall be; all things according to Plan and Process, according to Order and Structure, and each to its own Path.
The Divine Play of Chaos in Creation flowing from the Supreme Absolute, is separate from The Way, but Divine Chaos is in all that are unmanifest and manifest, for that is The Way.
And when I saw these things, I understood by reason of The Way, the higher Reason and Sense which flows from Divine Mind, is Present in All.
But as I was in great astonishment. The Authentia saith to me again: Didst thou behold in The Way the Archetypal Forms whose being is before beginning without end?
And when I saw these things, I understood: the Forms proceed from The Supreme Absolute and all creation seen and unseen, from the smallest to the largest; all universes seen and unseen, follow and copy the Forms existing in the Mind of the Supreme Absolute.
And I enquired: Lord, how pray, how worship we The Way as it is a manifestation of the Word of The Source?
Only one manner of worship but pray not. Pray not, for the Way giveth Itself completely, and offers no more than its entirety. Worship the Way by flowing in its Divine Flow. Meditate the gentle centre flows…
