The Mystery of the Grail
09:14
|
|||
|
This mystery is revealed only to a few in the initiation of the Grail,
that stone which fell from the Ray of Green Light, that cup of eternal life.
Woe betide the one who, having received the gift of eternity in the cup of death ...
The Way of Return is a hard one. Here is the song of the wayfarer:
O Lucifer.
There never was a passage,
And no one. since
Earliest times,
Has ever discovered it,
Neither by sea nor by land,
This slender thread of crystalline water,
Wind and green light,
This sighing of his breast.
The way is agonising,
Deep are the waters
Of death!
Where, O Lucifer,
Shall we cross this immense sea?
With Luci-Bel we have lit this fire which never goes out and which leads us to a superhuman, irreversible destiny.
Only with the memory of his beloved in his heart can the initiate achieve the Grail.
In the warriors of the order, immortality passes from the species to the individual, accompanied by an incurable sterility. Because he who continues to procreate children of perishable flesh cannot resurrect.
Drive your sword into the mirror beside the fire, so that as it is reflected in it 'everything looks as if it is in an upside-down sky', like an arm holding it, rising out of the waters.
And passing your sword over the fire, sing:
O Sun of Gold that reflects the Black Sun!
O Black Sun that hides the Ray of Green Light!
Withdraw your luminous shadow,
Rend your veils, so that
I may see the hidden face,
Veiled by your disc,
By the revolving of your svastika,
Because the one who is hidden there
Is I myself.
Let forgetfulness never again fall upon us,
let what we lived through in the Eternal Return
not find us again without memory, without recollection,
let us engrave it forever
Continue your search for the city,
enter it.
She, too, is searching for it
Draw your sword, unsheathe it, the moment has arrived.

Death Comes
05:09

|
Most musical of mourners, weep again!
Lament anew, Urania!—He died
Who was the sire of an immortal strain,
Blind, old, and lonely, when his country's pride
The priest, the slave, and the liberticide,
Trampled and mocked with many a loathèd rite
Of lust and blood. He went unterrified
Into the gulf of death ....
[----]
Afar the melancholy thunder moaned,
Pale Ocean in unquiet slumber lay,
And the wild winds flew round, sobbing in their dismay.
[words by PB Shelley, from his Adonais]

Cattle Die, Kinsmen Die

1. Within the gates, ere a man shall go,
(Full warily let him watch,)
Full long let him look about him;
For little he knows, where a foe may lurk.
6. A man shall not boast of his keenness of mind,
But keep it close in his breast;
To the silent and wise does ill come seldom
9. Happy the man who has while he lives
Wisdom and praise as well,
For evil counsel a man full oft
Has from another's heart.
10. A better burden may no man bear
For wanderings wide than wisdom;
It is better than wealth on unknown ways,
And in grief a refuge it gives.
16. The sluggard believes he shall live forever,
If the fight he faces not;
But age shall not grant him the gift of peace,
Though spears may spare his life.
19. Shun not the mead, but drink in measure;
Speak to the point or be still;
For rudeness none shall rightly blame thee
If soon thy bed thou seekest.
23. The witless man is awake all night,
Thinking of many things;
Care-worn he is when the morning comes,
And his woe is just as it was.
The babbling tongue, if a bridle it find not,
Oft for itself sings ill.
36. Better a house, though a hut it be,
A man is master at home;
A pair of goats and a patched-up roof
Are better far than begging.
38. Away from his arms in the open field
A man should fare not a foot;
For never he knows when the need for a spear
Shall arise on the distant road.
43. To his friend a man a friend shall prove,
To him and the friend of his friend;
But never a man shall friendship make
With one of his foeman's friends.
62. When the eagle comes to the ancient sea,
He snaps and hangs his head;
So is a man in the midst of a throng,
Who few to speak for him finds.
63. To question and answer must all be ready
Who wish to be known as wise;
Tell one thy thoughts, but beware of two,--
All know what is known to three.
A man must be watchful and wary as well,
And fearful of trusting a friend.
Oft for the words that to others one speaks
Ye will get but an evil gift.
68. Fire for men is the fairest gift,
And power to see the sun
70. It is better to live than to lie a corpse,
The live man catches the cow;
I saw flames rise for the rich man's pyre,
And before his door he lay dead.
71. The lame rides a horse, the handless is herdsman,
The deaf in battle is bold;
The blind man is better than one that is burned,
No good can come of a corpse.
72. A son is better, though late he be born,
And his father to death have fared;
Memory-stones seldom stand by the road
Save when kinsman honors his kin.
Wealth is as swift as a winking eye,
Of friends the falsest it is.
77. Cattle die, and kinsmen die,
And so one dies one's self;
But a noble name will never die,
If good renown one gets.
78. Cattle die, and kinsmen die,
And so one dies one's self;
One thing now that never dies,
The fame of a dead man's deeds.
79. Certain is that which is sought from runes,
That the gods so great have made,
And the Master-Poet painted;
... of the race of gods:
Silence is safest and best.

The Robots of Atlantis
09:17

In the beginning, 'a man issued forth out of the earth' ....
The angels, it says, fell in love with the 'daughters of men' and consorted with them ...
From the union of Poiseidon & Cleito were born ten kings of Atlantis ...
Apollo, according to the Greeks, travelled to Hyperborea every nineteen years in order to rejuvenate himself ...
Poseidon & Cleito produced the five pairs of twins who were the ten kings of Atlantis ...
It is important to be able to cast light on the mystery of the Twin Kings of Atlantis ...
It can be deduced from all this that various levels of humanity exist. The divine humanity of the Hyperboreans, the semi-divine humanity of the heroes descended from the intercourse of the gods with the daughters of men, and that of the animal-men, the 'sudra', the 'pasu', 'the slaves of Atlantis', perhaps the 'robots' of Atlantis, who somehow managed to survive its sinking".
