ead slowly

and savor

the beautiful language.

Read it

again and again and absorb it. At the bottom of the

I have made

some comments

on how

I think

their ideas

can be applied.

"In

the innermost circle have you come, into the

mystery of

mysteries,

that which was

old when our

father Enoch was

young and

walked the

earth.

Around

and around have you

come on your journey

of many

years,

always

following the path

of righteou

sness, living

according to the Holy

Law and the

sacred vows of our

Brotherhood,

and you have made

of your

body a holy

temple wherein dwell the angels

of God. Many years

have you

shared

the

daylight hours with the angels

the

Earthly Mother; many

years have you

slept in the

arms of the

Heavenly Father, taught by his

unknown

angels.

~~~

You have

learned that the

laws of the Son of

Man are seven, of

the

angels

three, and of God, one.

Now you shall

know of the three

laws of

the

angels,

the

mystery of the three Holy Streams and

the

ancient way

traverse them;

so shall you bathe in the light

heaven

and at last

behold

the revel

ation of the

mystery

mysteries: the law

of God,

which is One.

~~~

Now in the

hour before the rising of the sun

, just before the angels of the

Earthly

Mother

breathe life into the still sleeping earth, then do you enter into the

Holy

Stream

of Life. It is

your

Brother Tree who holds the mystery of this Holy

Stream,

and it is

your

Brother Tree

that

you will

embrace in your thought

, even as

by day

you embrace

him in

greeting when you walk

along the lake

shore. And you

shall

one with the tree

for

in the

beginning of the times so

did we all share

the Holy

Stream of Life that

gave birth to all

creation. And as you embrace

your

Brother

Tree,

the power of the

Holy Stream of Life

will fill your whole body

, and

you will

tremble before its

might.

Then

breathe deeply of the

angel of air,

and

say

the

word

"Life"

with the outgiving of

breath.

Then you will become in

truth the

Tree

of Life

which sinks its

roots deep into

the Holy

Stream of Life from an

eternal

source.

And as the angel of sun

warms the

earth, and all the

creatures of

land

and

water

and air rejoice in the new day, so

will

your body and spirit rejoice in

the Holy

Stream

of life that flows to you through your

Brother Tree.

~~~

And when the sun is high in the heavens, then shall you seek the Holy Stream

Sound.

the

heat of noontide, all creatures are still and seek the shade; the

angels of

the Earthly

Mother are

silent for a space. Then it is that you shall let

into

your ears the

Holy Stream

Sound; for it can

only be heard in the silence.

Think

on the streams

that are born in

the

desert after a sudden

storm, and the

roaring

sound of the waters

as they rush past.

Truly,

this is the voice of God, if

you did

but know it. For as it is

written, in the beginning

was the

Sound, and the

Sound

was with

God, and the Sound

was God. I tell you truly,

when we are

born,

we enter

the world with the

sound of God

in our ears, even the singing

of the vast

chorus

of the sky, and the holy chant of

the

stars in their fixed rounds; it is

the

Holy

Stream

of Sound that traverses the vault of

stars

and crosses the endless

kingdom

of the Heavenly

Father. It is ever in our ears, so

do we hear it

not. Listen

for it,

then, in the silence of

noontide; bathe in it, and let the

rhythm of the music

God beat

in your ears unt

l you are

one with the Holy Stream

Sound. It was

this

Sound which

formed the earth and the world,

and brought forth

the

mountains,

and set the stars in

their

thrones of glory in the highest

heavens.

~~~

And you shall bathe in the Stream of Sound, and the music of its waters shall

flow

over

you; for

in the

beginning of the times so did we all share in the Holy

Stream of

Sound

that

gave birth to all

creation. And the mighty roaring of the

Stream of

Sound will fill

your

whole

body, and you

will

tremble before its might.

Then breathe

deeply of the

angel of air,

and

become the sound itself,

that the

Holy

Stream of

Sound may carry you

to the endless

kingdom of the Heavenly

Father,

there where

the rhythm of the world

rises and falls.

~~~

And when darkness gently closes the eyes of the angels of the Earthly Mother,

then

shall

you also

sleep, that your spirit may join the unknown angels of the

Heavenly

Father. And in

the moments

before you sleep, then shall you think of

the

bright and

glorious stars, the

white,

shining, far-seen

and far-piercing stars.

For

your thoughts

before sleep are as the

bow of the

skillful archer, that

sends

the

arrow where he wills.

Let your thoughts before

sleep be with

the stars; for the

stars are

Light, and the

Heavenly Father is Light, even

that Light which is a

thousand times brighter than

the

brightness of a thousand suns.

Enter the Holy

Stream of

Light, that the shackles of

death may

loose their hold for ever,

and

breaking free from the

bonds of earth, ascend

the Holy Stream of

Light through

the

blazing radiance of the stars,

into the endless

kingdom of the Heavenly Father.

~~~

Unfold your wings of light, and in the eye of your thought, soar with the stars

into

the

farthest

reaches of heaven, where untold suns blaze with light. For at the

beginning of

the

times, the Holy

Law said, let there be Light, and there was Light.

And you shall be

one

with

it, and the power of

the Holy Light Stream will fill your

whole body, and you

will

tremble

before its might. Say the word

"Light," as you

breathe deeply of the angel

of air,

and you will

become the Light itself; and the

Holy Stream will carry you to the

endless

kingdom of the

Heavenly Father, there

losing itself in the

eternal Sea of Light

which gives

birth to all creation.

And you

shall be one with the Holy Stream

of Light,

always before

you sleep in the arms of

the Heavenly Father.

~~~

I tell you truly, your body was made not only to breathe, and eat, and think, but

was

also

made

to enter the Holy Stream of Life. And your ears were made not

only

to hear

the

words of men,

the song of birds, and the music of falling rain, but

they

were also

made to

hear the Holy Stream

of Sound. And your eyes were made

not

only to see the

rising and

setting of the sun, the ripple of

sheaves of grain,

and

the

words of the Holy

Scrolls, but

they

were also made to see the Holy

Stream

Light.

One day your body

will return to the

Earthly

Mother; even also your ears

and

your

eyes. But the Holy

Stream of Life, the Holy

Stream of

Sound, and the

Holy

Stream

of Light,

these were

never born, and can never

die. Enter the

Holy

Streams,

even

that Life, that Sound,

and

that Light which gave you

birth; that

you may

reach

the kingdom of the Heavenly

Father and

become one with him

even

as the

river

empties into the far-distant sea.

~~~

More than this cannot be told, for the Holy Streams will take you to that place

where

words are

no more, and even the Holy Scrolls cannot record the mysteries

therein.

Enter the Holy Stream of Life.

In the Eastern teachings, there is a wave of

rana

or Life Force, that flows in thru

ature in the hour before

dawn. The idea seems to be to unite with that

universal prana

, thru the breath and word "life".

the

sound of

rana,

same as "Life"!

This

a meditation

in nature, with breathing and

Seek the Holy Stream of Sound.

How can I dare comment on

such an

exalted passage!

Essentially, it

says to seek

the Silence "and the

mighty roaring of the

Stream of Sound will fill your whole body" and to

Note, these days we cannot "seek the shade" at noon; we only get a half hour lunch break and then have

keep on working! So this meditation could perhaps best be done in the afternoon or evening.

"Enter the Holy Stream of Light

he universe is not considered

here to be

a co

d and distant place but

to be

full of the Light Supreme. This

meditation is

to be done "

always

before you sleep

" because it launches

the following 6-8 hours

into a

divine

dimension.

Those are too many hours to waste on the lower astral planes. Try it, and if you like it

keep with

it.
