     SYMBOL 

    A  comet�察  �beyond   it   infinite   things�察  �only   dreamed   of   as   yet�察  �a   world 

floating in an ocean and in night�察�beneath are two hands clasped palm to

       XII 

     TABLET THE TWELFTH 

    A REVELATION OF THE TO BE。 The comet is the twelfth Avatar�察�

the herald�察�coming forth from the starry abyss of the infinite�察�staying with 

us a little while�察�and then flashing on his shining way to other worlds than 

ours�察  �bearing    THE    DIVINE      WORD      from   sun   to  planet�察 �as  the  fiery 

messenger      of  God。   And    here  the  soul   may   well   ask�此  �Who�拭    �Where�拭�

Whence and Whither�拭─�For behold�察�he has come�察�and gone�察�and 

       ;Earth could not answer�察�nor the seas that mourn In flowing purple�察�

of their Lord forlorn�察�Nor rolling Heaven�察�with all his signs revealed And 

hidden by the sleeve of night and morn。; 

       The world floating in the sea of the infinite and resting in night shows 

the present state of humanity。 But�察 �the blush of dawn; is ready to gladden 

the soul�察�and the expectant seer�察�from his lonely vigil on the hilltop�察�awaits 

the sunlight which will soon flood the world anew。 

     The    two    clasped   hands    point   to   many    problems�察    �chiefly   soul´ 

matehood�察  �the   message   of   the   starry   messenger�察  �universal   brotherhood�察�

and the Father´Motherhood of God。 

     O   child   of   Adam�   �Watch   and   pray�察  �that   a   voice   of   the   silence   may 

speak unto you。

    Here   beginneth   Chapter   I   of   the   Second   Part   of   the   Book   which   is 

called ;The Tablets of Aeth�察─�wherein is transcribed the First Trinity of the 

Planetary Rulers。 

     ;The human heart is the true temple of God�察�enter ye into your temples

hands and your eyes。 Do I say that which is agreeable to Goddoing good

     SYMBOL 

    A flaming splendor�察�a center of light�察�radiating in all directions。

    REFLECTION 

    TABLET THE FIRST 

    The symbol of all created life�察�spiritual and material�察�of all goodness�察�

human or Divine�察�the center of all thought�察�from brutal instinct to Deific 

wisdom�察�of all creations�察�from starry systems to man�察�and from man back 

again to invisible gas�察�of all action�察�from the imperceptible vibrations of 

nerve energy to the awful destruction of worlds。 All creative potency lies 

within a Sun sphere。 Light is life。 The planets are but the offspring of light 

and life。 So in this symbol�察�we read the source of the human Ego�察�of our 

own life。 We are�察�as it were�察�the planets of the spiritual Sun。 Our souls are 

the attributes of the Sun�察�of the spiritual Ego。 Only from the Ego can we

life´force�察�the human monad is but an attribute�察�a reflection�察�of the Divine 

Ego�察�and if it fails to awake to a consciousness of this union�察�it withers and 

dies like a flower plucked from the parent tree of life。 

     O   child   of Adam�察  �in   reverence   and   awe   do   thou   meditate   upon   this 

Tablet�察   �for   it  is  a  thing  of   beauty�察  �a  being    of   light�察 �life  and   love�察�

manifesting its creative mission。 It is the Vicegerent of God�察�flaming forth 

His splendors in the sky。

     An elephant�察�kneeling between two square columns�察�on one an eagle�察�

on the other a vulture。 

     At   the  side   a boy�察  �with bow  and   arrows�察 �standing   in doubt   which   to 

shoot。 

     Below these a human face�察�composed of various flowers�察�whose roots 

are snakes�察�a poppy�察�forming an eye�察�which winks。 

       II 

     REFLECTION 

     TABLET THE SECOND 

     A vision revealing the earthly drama of the microcosm。 The elephant 

represents the highest expression of intelligence�察�minus the spirit�察�kneeling 

between the square columns of matter�察�i。e。�察�guarded by them。 The external 

mind is sleeping�察�or�察�at most�察�dreaming of the things of the spirit。 Above 

sleeping   mind   sit   the   two   birds�察  �who   represent   spirit   and   matter�察  �each 

waiting for the slowly preparing feast。 The boy�察�the soul with its weapons�察�

has a choice。 Shall it be the sensuality of the flesh that he shall destroy�察�or 

the possibilities of the spiritual life on earth。 The problem awaits solution。 

The   eagle   sits   ready   to   bear   aloft   the   spirit   of   the   sleeper。   The   vulture 

hopes for sleep to end in death�察�that he may live upon the carrion thereof。 

The flowers of the external mind have for their roots the snakes�察�and�察�in a 

larger   sense�察  �the   flowers   of   immortality   have   the   serpent   of   wisdom   for 

their roots。 And the poppy winks。 It knows its own power of illusion�察�and 

the double significance of the snake�察�the necessity of evil in the evolution

     There is but one altar�察�but one blood of the sacrament in two cups�察�but 

one flesh of the Christthe Egoin two hearts�察�two experiences in love�察�

ecstacy�察  �and   pain�察  �two   results   of   experience�察  �the   serpent   and the   dagger�察�

symbolizing   wisdom   and   affliction。   Above   the   altar   the   divine   woman 

holds   the   wreath   encircling   the   angel。   The   angel   of   immortal   life   rises 

from the altar of sacrifice。 Some of the wine is spilled as offering。 The cup 

that   is   filled   is   raised   to   ;Ra。;   To   serve   at   the   altar   of   love   is   the   soul´ 

mission of all�察�even as Christ served his disciples。 Each soul must find its 

own service�察�and then the pilgrims of the Sun return to the mansions of the 

blessed。 The   great   mother´god�察�Venus�察 �Urania�察  �quivers   and   thrills   as   she
