     To aid in meditation on the bead at the center�察�herein is written a vision�察�

an experience of the soul in the Sleep of Sialam。 

     The   Hermetic   brethren   encircled   my   astral   body�察  �which   was   deeply 

entranced。     ;From     whence�察─    �the  great   question�察  �quivered     through    my 

inmost being。 To answer that awful problem of the soul the released spirit 

went    on   its  fearsome    journey�察  �back   through    star  systems�察   �back�察  �back 

beyond   all   stars�察  �back   to   the   blackness   of   nothing   that   awful   nothing�察�

whose     outside    ring  vibrated    with   fearful  flames�察   �the  fiery  cherubim�察�

winged�察�taking all possible shapes�察�and unformed living shapes。 A human 

flamed     and   changed    and   vanished。    The   tornado    of  whirling�察  �flashing�察�

chaotic   life  swirled   and   drove  through   the  darkness   of   chaos   of   nothing 

from    nothingand     that  great�察  �unknown     abyss    is  God�   �But   the  life  is 

EVOLUTIONARY。 

     Deity   is   progressive�察  �so   never   can   man   cease   to   be。   Never   can   he 

return    to  that   awful  center  of   nothingness�察   �or  be   absorbed    within   the 

bosom of the unmanifested being。 On�察�and on�察�and on�察�with Deific power�察�

God moves in ever´increasing whirls of evolution。 

     Thus   came   the   answer   of   the   ages�此   �From   primeval   force�察  �from   the 

mighty breath of unmanifested being�察�through every phase of action and 

reaction�察   �from   the   energies   of  storm    and   lightning�察  �from   star´dust   to 

sunlight�察�has come the spirit of man� ─�

     And the Astral Brethren understood。

                             CHAPTER XII 



                                      PENETRALIA 



     THE SECRET OF THE SOUL 

     We   have   now   arrived   at   our   final   study�察  �which   we   have   approached 

step by step amid the labyrinth of the mysteries concealed beneath the Veil 

of Isis。 We stand at last upon the very threshold of the sacred Adytum�察�the 

;Holy     of  Holies�察─   �from   whence     proceeds     our  final   revelation   of  that 

inmost conception of Man's identity with his Creatorthe Penetralia of his 

Beingthe last secret of the incarnated soul。 

     The written word almost fails usdoes fail in fact�察�when we come to 

the   difficult   task  of  externalizing     ideas�察 �the  sublimity    of   which    is  so 

infinitely beyond the crystallized images of matter that�察�they can only be 

realized in their true glory�察�when the purified soul can view them from the 

ineffable heights of eternal spirit。 We are lost�察�dazed�察�at the brilliancy of 

the spiritual imagery that opens out before us�察�in its fathomless stretch of 

the   eternities   that   are   past�察  �of   the   ever´   imperishable   present�察  �and   the 

unborn eternities yet to be�察�all of them linked together in one grand chain 

of   spiritual   relationship   and   deathless   identity�察  �as   Man�察  �the Angel�察  �God�察�

and    God�察   �the  Angel�察   �Man�察   �as  the   triune  Cycle    of  Being�察   �within   the 

incomprehensible   Cycle   of   Necessity�察  �which   constitutes   Nature's   cosmic 

university for the complete graduation�察�education�察�and purification�察�of that 

self´conscious�察�Deific atom of life�察�whose expression becomes the human 

soul。 Ah� �my brothers could you�察�but for one single instant�察�realize WHO 

you are�察�WHERE you are journeying�察�and WHAT your final destiny�察�every 

earthly   moment   at   your   disposal   would   be   rightly   used�察  �and   every   hour 

considered too short for your efforts to aid your fellow´man。 Selfishness�察�

wealth�察  �and   power�察  �would   be   so   utterly   contemptible   in   your   sight   that 

their possession would be considered a fearful affliction and a curse�察�the 

moment       they    exceeded      the   comfortable      requirements      of   mundane 

existence。 

     Leave   self   and   the   world   behind   you   for   the   present�察  �and�察  �for   the 

moment�察�leave your life�察�with its manifold vanities�察�in the outer court�察�and

together let us cross the threshold and enter the door of the Temple。 There� �

At last we have entered the Sacred Sanctuary�察 �my brother�察�and we stand 

face   to   face   with   the   imperishable   truth   of   our   beingthe   truth   which 

makes us free�察�the truth which must ultimately prevail�察�by virtue of its own 

inherent Divinity�察�and we realize Man as he really is�察�not as he outwardly 

seems to be。 We view him as a molecule�察�composed of a congregation of 

separate atoms�察�all of them held in their places by the centripetal force of 

the   central   human   atom   of   life。   And   yet�察  �small   as   he   is�察  �small   as   his 

kingdom is�察�compared with the mighty creation of which he is a part�察�he 

possesses   all   the   inherent   qualities   of   the   whole。   This�察  �then�察  �is   our   first 

conceptionMan�察�is a microcosmic molecule�察�an atom of divine life。 

     The   scene   changes   within   the   chamber�察  �and   upon   the   shimmering�察�

luminous veil�察�yet before us�察�we view the large and mighty planet called 

the  Earth。  Not   as   a  revolving satellite of   the  Sun�察�but   as   she  really  is�察  �a 

vital   organ   of   the   macrocosm�察  �the   stellar   womb   of   the   solar   system�察  �the 

matrix which produces the material organic form of humanity。 When the 

Earth   was   without   form   and   void�察─  �as   we   are   informed   in   the   mystical 

language   of   Genesis�察  �the   human   soul   had   not   yet   reached   the   state�察  �or 

grade�察�in the celestial university that desired the Earth and its temporary 

illusions。     Hence    this   state  was    void�察  �an   unborn     idea�察  �the  To   Be�察  �and 

darkness�察�symbolical of complete lack of life and intelligence�察 �was upon 

the face of the deep�察─�silent space。 

     Again   the   scene   changes�察  �and   one   by   one   the   numberless   planets�察�

planetoids�察     �moons�察    �meteors�察    �comets�察    �and   other    attendant    bodies�察   �pass 

before   the   eye   of   the   soul   as   we   gaze   upon   the   curtain   of   this   Sacred 

Penetralia�察  �each   orb   belonging   to   some   portion   of   the Astral   Man�察  �each 

great planet constituting some vital function of the macrocosmic organism�察�

and conferring those qualities upon each and every single atom pertaining 

to that degree of life�察�so that the solar system becomes individualized as a 

grand cosmic organism�察�its attendant satellites constituting its vital organs�察�

and the shining Zodiac its outward form。 So�察�also�察�each planet is a living�察�

cosmic individual�察�intensely alive�察�living�察�moving�察�breathing�察�and bringing 

forth its offspring of like substance�察�matter�察�in obedience to the potential 

demand   of   incarnating   spirit。   The   Sun
