Step 1: Presiding Priest gives the Prayer of Dedication

Step 2: Priest reads Genesis Chapter 1. Followed by a 10 minute meditation on the Beginning. This is meditation on the Beginning, the Creation, is a parallel representation of the beginning point of the New Moon.

Step 3: The Mother of the Order, if present, gives a prayer for spiritual strength for all that they may pass through the Initiation of the New Moon.

A TABERNACLE IN THE WILDERNESS WAS PART OF THE ATLANTEAN MYSTERY SCHOOL, AND WAS CALLED THUS BECAUSE OF THE STATE OF DEVELOPMENT WHICH SURROUNDED THAT SCHOOL, THE SAME AS THIS ORDER IS, IN THIS DAY; FOR, WE ARE SURROUNDED BY CHURCHES AND PEOPLE OF THE WORLD. THERE ARE MILLIONS IN DARKNESS, AND IT IS AT THIS TIME, AS WE ENTER THE NEW MOON, AND HAVE JUST ENTERED THE AQUARIAN AGE, THAT WE SPEAK OF THESE THINGS BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT TIMES OF HISTORY. FOR, IN THOSE DAYS, THE ANCIENT TEACHINGS CONTAINED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT HAD STILL BEEN RETAINED AND COUPLED WITH THE NEW TEACHINGS GIVEN IN THE GOSPELS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, FOR THEY ARE BASIC IN A COSMIC WAY AND CONTAIN THE SYMBOLISM OF THE TEMPLE.

NOW THAT THE LIGHT OF THE CHRISTOS IS MORE EVIDENT IN OUR EARTH, WE ARE NOT QUITE IN AS GREAT A DARKNESS AS WE WERE AT THE ENTERING OF THIS NEW AGE, FOR, IT IS THE COMMISSION OF THE MEMBERS OF THIS ORDER, THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, TO SPREAD THE LIGHT AND TURN BACK THE DARKNESS.

THERE ARE THREE CLASSES OF PEOPLE WHO ATTAINED TEMPLE SERVICE:

1) THE MULTITUDES, WHO ARE ALLOWED ONLY TO APPROACH THE TEMPLE TO WORSHIP AND BRING OFFERINGS OF GLORY TO THE FATHER, THAT NEVER CAME BEYOND THE BRAZEN ALTAR OF SACRIFICE.

2) THE PRIESTS, WHO WERE ADMITTED TO THE SERVICE OF GOD IN THE TEMPLE AND TO COME AS FAR AS A SECOND VEIL; THESE ARE PRIESTS, THE NOVICES, SO TO SPEAK.

3) THE HIGH PRIESTS, WHO ALONE ARE ADMITTED BEHIND THE SECOND VEIL TO RECEIVE THE DIRECT COMMANDS OF GOD AND OF REVELATIONS. THEY ARE THE FULLY-ATTAINED PRIESTS, AND KNOW OF SOME OF THE MYSTERIES.

WE FIND THREE CLASSES IN THE MODERN MYSTERY SCHOOL, ALSO:

1) STUDENTS, WHO HAVE AWAKENED TO THEIR SPIRITUAL RESPONSIBILITIES AND ARE ENDEAVORING TO REACH THE HIGHER ATTAINMENT BY STUDY AND SPIRITUAL EXERCISES, LIKE THAT OF THE DEACON OR SUB-DEACON.

2) THE PROBATIONERS, WHO HAVE TAKEN A DEFINITE OBLIGATION TO THEMSELVES IN THE ORDER TO WHICH THEY BELONG; THEREBY, THEIR PERSONAL SELF AGREES TO LOVE, HONOR AND OBEY THE TRUE, OR HIGHER SELF, OR THE INTUITIVE DICTATES OF THE SELF, AND DEDICATES ITSELF TO A LIFE OF SERVICE, AS A MEANS OF APPROACHING THE VEIL, AND ATTAINING TO A CONSCIOUS REALIZATION OF GOD WITHIN, OR THE GOD-SELF.

3) DISCIPLES WHO HAVE PERSISTED AND SHOWN THEIR DEVOTION IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THEY WERE CONSIDERED LIKELY TO ACQUIT THEMSELVES CREDITABLY IN THE WIDER WORK, AND ARE, THEREFORE, BEING PREPARED TO PASS BEFORE THE VEIL AT THE EARLIEST TIME IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT, COGNIZANT WITH SAFETY AND TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF REVELATION; ATTAINING GOD-REALIZATION, AND TAKING THE LIFE VOWS OF SERVICE.

"NO ONE COMETH UNTO ME, EXCEPTETH MY FATHER CALLETH HIM, "SAID CHRIST JESUS, AND THE MULTITUDES OF THE ANCIENT ATLANTEANS WHO WERE DRAWN TO THAT BRAZEN ALTAR TO OFFER UP THEIR SACRIFICES FOR THEIR SINS, MUST HAVE IN SOME WAY, BEEN DIVINELY CALLED.

CONSIDER NOW, FOR A MOMENT, THAT IT WAS NOT AS ORDINARY FIRE THAT BURNED UPON THAT ALTAR, BUT, THAT SHORTLY AFTER THE TABERNACLE HAD BEEN BUILT, ACCORDING TO THE DIVINE PATTERN IN A COMMAND GIVEN UPON THE MOUNT, A DIVINE FIRE, A CELESTIAL FIRE, CAME MIRACULOUSLY DOWN UPON THE ALTAR AND CONSUMED THE FLESH THERE, WHICH IS NOT ENKINDLED BY MAN BUT IS OF DIVINE ORIGIN: WHAT IS IT? IN OUR OWN LIVES, THERE IS A FIRE THAT BURNS UP THE FLESH; THAT IS SACRIFICING THE FLESH FOR THE SAKE OF THE SPIRIT.

IN THE ANCIENT TEMPLES OR TABERNACLES, THE PATH OF ATTAINMENT LED FROM EAST TO WEST, COMMENCING AT THE ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERINGS. TODAY, ALSO, THE ASPIRANT FINDS HIMSELF WITH ACE SET TOWARDS THE WEST, BUT HE MUST MAKE HIMSELF A DIVINE SACRIFICE IN THE TEMPLE; AND THE FIRE THAT BURNS WITHIN HIM IS CONSCIENCE, THAT DIVINE FIRE THAT TELLS US WHETHER WE HAVE DONE RIGHT OR WRING, WHICH HOLDS US ACCOUNTABLE FOR ALL MISTAKES, WHICH IS STRICTER BY FAR THAT THE LAWS OF MAN.

EVERY NIGHT DURING RETROSPECTION, WE STAND BEFORE THAT ALTAR AND JUDGE OURSELVES ACCORDING TO THE DEEDS DONE IN THE BODY. WE ARE MORTIFIED BY OUR CONSCIENCE ACCORDING TO THE WAY WE HAVE BEHAVED DURING THE DAY, IN ACCORDANCE TO THE STANDARDS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; AND, WE THEREFORE OFFER UP OUR BODY AS A LIVING SACRIFICE DURING THE NEXT TWENTY-FOUR HOURS; THAT IS, WE DO IF WE ARE TRUE TO OUR OBLIGATIONS.

THE VIRTUE OF THE BRAZEN ALTAR MAY BE SUMMED UP IN ONE WORD--JUSTIFICATION.

THIS IS THE FIRST STEP ON THE PATH OF ATTAINMENT.

IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO BE JUSTIFIED. THE RICH, YOUNG MAN HAD SAID THAT HE HAD KEPT THE LAW, BUT HE WAS NOT READY TO FOLLOW THE COMMAND OF THE CHRIST. TOO MANY, ALAS, ARE CONTENT IF THEY CAN ONLY ESCAPE CONDEMNATION. THEY ARE TOO LUKEWARM TO STRIVE AFTER COMMENDATION, SUCH AS THE DILIGENT MERIT OF SERVICE, WHEN THE LORD SHALL SAY, "WELL DONE, THOU GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT;" TOO LUKEWARM TO TAKE THIS SECOND STEP, THE STEP OF "CONSECRATION" TO A LIFE OF SERVICE.

AS CHRIST ENTERED UPON HIS THREE YEARS OF MINISTRY THROUGH THE BAPTISMAL WATERS, SO THE ASPIRANT, TO SERVE IN THE ANCIENT TEMPLE, HAD TO SANCTIFY HIMSELF. HE MUST BE WILLING TO GIVE UP ALL EARTHLY POSSESSIONS, THOUGH, FOR THIS FIRST TIME HE RETAINS THEM AS A SACRED TRUST TO BE USED FOR GOOD.

THE ASPIRANT MUST BE READY IN EVERY WAY TO OBEY THE VOICE OF THE CHRIST, THE VOICE FROM THE SELF WITHIN, WHEN IT SAYS, "FOLLOW ME," EVEN THOUGH THE SHADOW OF THE CROSS LOOMS AT THE END OF THE WAY. THUS, THE ANCIENT ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERINGS, AND THE LAVER OF PURIFICATION WERE SYMBOLS OF PURGATORY, AND THE CLEANSING WHICH THE SOUL ACCOMPLISHES THERE.

LIKEWISE, IT IS SYMBOLICAL OF THE SCIENTIFIC MANNER IN WHICH THE STUDENT OF THE MYSTERY WESTERN MYSTERY SCHOOLS ACCOMPLISHES THE PURGING OF RETROSPECTION.

HAVING MOUNTED THE FIRST TWO STEPS UPON THE PATH, A THIRD BRINGS THE ASPIRANT DIRECTLY WITHIN THE ANCIENT TEMPLE AND THE EAST ROOM OF THE TABERNACLE, WHICH MAY BE CALLED THE HALL OF SERVICE, WHICH CONTAINS ALL THE PARAPHERNALIA OF SOUL GROWTH.

IT IS FURNISHED WITH THREE PRINCIPLE ARTICLES ONLY--THE SEVEN-BRANCHED CANDLESTICK, WHICH IS PLACED NEAR THE SOUTH WALL, AND THUS ON THE LEFT OF ANYONE ENTERING FROM THE EAST. THE TABLE OF SHEW BREAD, WHICH IS PLACED AT THE NORTH WALL, OR TO THE RIGHT OF ANYONE ENTERING FROM THE EAST.

THE ALTAR OF INCENSE, WHICH IS DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE ENTRANCE, AND JUST BEFORE THE VEIL WHICH DIVIDES THE EAST ROOM OF THE TABERNACLE FROM THE WEST ROOM, WHICH IS CALLED THE HOLY OF HOLIES.

THE EAST ROOM IS CALLED THE HOLY PLACE. IN THIS PLACE, THE ASPIRANT LEARNS THE LESSONS OF SERVICE.

THE TABLE OF SHEW BREAD IS LADEN WITH TWELVE LOAVES IN TWO PILES OF SIX LOAVES EACH, BUILT IN A PYRAMID--THREE LOAVES OF THE FOUNDATION, TWO LOAVES ABOVE, AND ONE ABOVE THAT. THE GRAIN OF WHICH THEY ARE MADE IS GIVEN BY GOD, BUT IT HAS BEEN NURTURED AND CULTIVATED BY MAN. HE HAS THRESHED IT, GROUND IT, AND BAKED IT, AND HAS CARRIED IT TO THE TEMPLE AS AN OFFERING TO THE LORD. THESE GOD-GIVEN GRAINS OF WHEAT REPRESENT THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOUL GROWTH GIVEN BY GOD THROUGH THE TWELVE DEPARTMENTS OF LIFE, REPRESENTED BY THE TWELVE HOUSES OF COSMIC DOMAIN, UNDER THE DOMINION OF THE TWELVE DIVINE HIERARCHY, WHOSE INFLUENCES WE KNOW AND EXPERIENCE THROUGH THE SYMBOLS WRITTEN IN THE HEAVENS.

IT IS THE TASK OF THE ASPIRANT TO TAKE EVERY OPPORTUNITY OFFERED TO CULTIVATE THEM, MAKE THEM INTO THAT "LIVING BREAD," WHICH NURTURES AND NOURISHES THE SOUL THROUGH THE INITIATIONS OF LIFE, AND ESPECIALLY THAT OF THE NEW MOON.

LET US NOW PARTAKE OF THE BREAD GROWN FROM THE EARTH, NURTURED AND GROUND BY MAN IN HIS LABORS WITH THE EARTH AND THE FORCES OF CREATION. (Bread prepared should be dark, and full-grained, blessed at the altar before services.)

WITH THIS, LET US ALSO PARTAKE OF THE WATERS OF LIFE, FOR THEY CONTAIN THE COALESCENT INFLUENCE OF NATURE AS GIVEN BY GOD, WHICH WILL WASH AWAY THE SINS OF THE BODY. (This has also been blessed at the altar prior to services.)

The Presiding male and female Priests serve Communion to all Priests and members. The male priest serving the water and the female priest (or minister) serving the bread. The water is served first. Any priests present are served before the members. After receiving Communion, all return to their places on the floor of the temple.

WE HAVE RECEIVED THE WATERS OF LIFE. WE HAVE GIVEN UP OUR SINS THIS NIGHT. THE MOTHER OF CREATION HAS FED OUR NEEDS, WE WISH TO GO FORTH TO PROVE OUR RIGHTS WITH DEEDS. GRANT US, O MASTER, THAT OUR LIGHT MAY GROW LIKE THE EVER-SHINING LIGHT OF THE MOON WE KNOW. GIVE UNTO US THE RIGHT OF THE LAW, LET US SIT AT THY FEET, O MASTER, LORD GOD OF ALL.

Presiding Priest gives a blessing and absolution to all.

MANKIND WAS EXPELLED FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN BECAUSE THEY HAD EATEN OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE. THE CHERUBIM THAT GUARDED THE ENTRANCE WITH A FLAMING SWORD WAS EVIDENCED.

IGNORANT INDULGENCE IN CREATIVE ACTS WAS THE SIN COMMITTED AGAINST THE LAWS OF NATURE, WHICH BROUGHT PAIN AND DEATH INTO THE WORLD AND ESTRANGED US FROM THE PRIMAL GUARDIANS AND FORCED US TO ROAM THE WILDERNESS ON THE WORLD FOR AGES.

AT HIS GATE AT THE MYSTIC TEMPLE OF SOLOMON, WE AGAIN WOULD FIND THE CHERUBIM, BUT THE FIERY SWORD IS NO LONGER IN THEIR HANDS. INSTEAD, THEY HOLD A FLOWER, A SYMBOL FULL OF MYSTIC MEANING.

NOW, LET US COMPARE MAN WITH FLOWERS, THAT WE MAY NOTE THE GREAT IMPORTANCE AND SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS EMBLEM. MAN TAKES HIS FOOD BY WAY OF HIS HEAD; HENCE IT GOES DOWNWARD. THE PLANT TAKES ITS NOURISHMENT THROUGH THE ROOTS IN THE EARTH AND FORCES IT UPWARD.

PLANTS KNOW NO PASSION OF ANY KIND. FERTILIZATION IS ACCOMPLISHED IN A MOST PURE AND CHASTE MANNER; THEREFORE, IT PROJECTS FLOWERS AS IT OPENS TOWARD THE SUN, A THING OF BEAUTY WHICH DELIGHTS ALL WHO BEHOLD IT. THIS IS THE MYSTERY OF THE GRAIL CUP. THIS IS THE EMBLIMATICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CUP OF COMMUNION, WITH ITS MYSTICAL BLOOD, NOW A REALITY, CLEANSED FROM THE PASSIONS INCIDENT TO THE GENERATION, BRINGS TO HIM WHO TRULY DRINKS THEREOF, ETERNAL LIFE; THUS, IT BECOMES THE VEHICLE OF REGENERATION.

THE SEEKER PARTAKES AND KNOWS NOT OF THE DIVINITY WITH WHICH THIS IS SHARED. BUT, THROUGH ITS INFLUENCE, IS LED TO THE CHRIST, WHERE THE PRIEST AND THE TEACHER CAN BRING THEM TO OFFER UP THEMSELVES AT THE HIGH ALTAR OF INCENSE BEFORE THE VEIL.

WE ARE PARTAKING OF A MYSTIC BIRTH INTO A HIGHER ORDER OR LEVEL; A "FOREIGN COUNTRY," WHERE HE WHO HAS SERVED HIS APPRENTICESHIP IN THE TEMPLE BUILDING AND HAS MASTERED THE "ARTS AND CRAFTS" OF THIS WORLD, MAY LEARN HIGHER THINGS.

THE SYMBOLOGY OF THE CHERUBIM WITH THE OPEN FLOWER, WHICH IS PLACED UPON THE TEMPLE DOOR, GIVES UNTO THE ASPIRANT THE MESSAGE THAT PURITY IS THE KEY BY WHICH ALONE WE CAN HOPE TO UNLOCK THE GATE TO GOD, OR, AS CHRIST OUR LORD EXPRESSED IT, "BLESSED ARE THE PURE IN HEART, FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD." THE FLESH MUST BE CONSUMED UPON THE ALTAR OF SELF-SACRIFICE, AND THE SOUL MUST BE WASHED IN THE LAVER OF CONSECRATION TO THE HIGHER LIFE, ERE IT MAY APPROACH THE TEMPLE DOOR.

LET US REMEMBER NOW THAT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST WENT THROUGH THE CRUCIFIXION, THE RESURRECTION AND THE ASCENSION TO BRING US THE ATONEMENT OF OUR SINS.

WHEN THUS, NAKED, POOR AND BLINDED BY TEARS OF CONTRITION, THE SEEKER GROPES IN DARKNESS, SEEKING THE TEMPLE DOOR, IT SHALL BE FOUND. WE MAY THEN KNOCK, AND THE DOOR SHALL CERTAINLY BE OPENED; AND, WHEN WE ASK FOR LIGHT AND RAIMENT, THE CARETAKER WILL NOT TURN A DEAF EAR, BUT CONVEYS US AS AN ASPIRING SOUL INTO THE EAST ROOM OF THE TEMPLE, WHICH IN NOW ABLAZE WITH LIGHT FROM THE SEVEN-BRANCHED CANDLESTICK, EMBLEMATIC OF THE FULL LUMINOSITY OF THE MOON, WHICH CHANGES ITS CYCLE EVERY SEVEN DAYS.

AS THE MOON IS NEW AND BECOMING LUMINOUS, LIKEWISE, IN THIS DAY, WE ASPIRANTS AND SERVANTS OF GOD, THROUGH OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, ARE BECOMING MORE FILLED WITH THE LIGHT OF THE CHRISTOS.

IN THIS HALL OF SERVICE, WE ARE TAUGHT TO WEAVE THE LUMINOUS VESTURE OF FLAME WHICH ST. PAUL CALLS THE "SOMA PSUCHICON," THE SOUL BODY (Corinthians 15:45) FROM THE AROMA OF THE SHEW BREAD.

BOW YOUR HEADS, PROSTRATE YOURSELVES BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY, BEFORE YOU ARE TAKEN BEFORE THE VEIL. FOR, BEHIND IT LIES THE HOLY OF HOLIES.

WHEN WE COME TO A POINT WHERE WE ARE TO ENTER THE SECOND, OR WESTERN PART OF THE TABERNACLE, WHICH LIES BEHIND THE VEIL WHICH DIVIDES IT FROM THE EAST ROOM, THE HALL OF SERVICE, WE FIND AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CONDITION, FOR THIS WESTERN COMPARTMENT IS AS DARK AS THE HEAVENS WHEN THE MOON IS IN THE WESTERN SKY WITH A SETTING SUN.

IN THIS VERY FACT, THERE IS A MOST IMPORTANT POINT FOR MEDITATION. WHEN THE CANDIDATE ENTERS THE GATE OF THE EASTERN TEMPLE, LOOKING FOR LIGHT, HE IS AT ONCE CONFRONTED WITH THE BURNING FIRE OF BURNT OFFERINGS. BUT, AS HE STEPS UPON THE PATH, AND COMES TO THE END OF THE TABERNACLE, HE MEETS DARKNESS.

IF HE HAS NOT GROWN SINCE THE TIME WHEN HE ENTERED IN THE EAST, IT IS ABSOLUTELY IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM TO ENTER THE WEST ROOM; FOR, WHEN HE WAS IN THE EAST, HE WAS IN THE SPIRITUALLY DARKENED CONDITION OF THE ORDINARY MAN--HE LACKED THE LIGHT WITHIN. IT IS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO GIVE HIM THE LIGHT WITHOUT.

WHEN HE ARRIVES AT THAT HIGH STAGE, WHICH IS SYMBOLIZED BY THE DARKENED WEST ROOM, HE IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE EVOLVED THE LUMINOUS SOUL IN THE SERVICE TO HUMANITY; AND THUS, HE IS THOUGHT TO HAVE THE LIGHT WITHIN HIMSELF, THE LIGHT THAT LIGHTETH EVERY MAN.

WITHOUT THIS LIGHT, HE CANNOT ENTER THE WEST ROOM OF THE TEMPLE. THE LIGHT WITHIN IS THE SOUL BODY, THE GOLDEN WEDDING GARMENT WORN BY THE BRIDE IN THE MYSTIC MARRIAGE, OR UNION WITH GOD. WHEN THE BROTHER HAS ENTERED THE WEST ROOM OF THE TEMPLE, HE SEES, BECAUSE HE HAS THE LIGHT WITHIN. THIS IS SYMBOLIZED BY THE ARK OF THE COVENANT, WHICH STANDS IN THE WESTERNMOST PART OF THE ROOM, AND ABOVE IT IS AN INVISIBLE FIRE, "A TRUE LIGHT," WHICH IS DEITY, THE GOAL OF HIS LONGING, THE GLORY OF THE SHEKINAH THAT THE JEWS SPOKE OF.

THAT INVISIBLE LIGHT AND FIRE THAT GLOWED OVER THE MERCY SEAT AND THE VOICE THAT SPOKE TO THOSE WHO CAME WITHIN ITS SACRED PRECINCTS, THAT WAS THE ACTUAL PRESENCE OF GOD, MANIFESTED AMONG MEN.

FOR, IT SHINES TODAY AS EVER, IN THE MYSTIC SKIES. AS THE MOON GATHERS UP LIGHT FROM THE SUN, DURING HER PASSING FROM THE NEW TO THE FULL MOON, SO MAN, UPON THE PATH OF GODLINESS GATHERS, FROM THE USE OF HIS GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES OF SELFLESS SERVICE, THE MATERIAL WHEREWITH TO MAKE HIS WEDDING GARMENT, AND THAT MATERIAL IS BEST DRAWN TOGETHER AND UNITED ON THE NIGHTS OF THE FULL MOON. BUT, CONVERSELY, AS THE MOON GRADUALLY DISSIPATES THE LIGHT, AND DRAWS CLOSER TO THE SUN IN ORDER TO ENTER UPON A NEW CYCLE AT THE TIME OF THE NEW MOON.

SO, ALSO, THOSE WHO HAVE GATHERED THEIR TREASURES AND LAID THEM UP IN HEAVEN, ARE, AT A CERTAIN TIME OF THE MOON, CLOSER TO THEIR SOURCE AND THEIR MAKER, THE FATHER IN HEAVEN IN THE HIGHEST SPHERES, THAN AT ANY OTHER TIME.

IT IS ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF ANALOGY AND PARALLELS, AS WORLD SAVIORS ARE BORN AT THE WINTER SOLSTICE ON THE LONGEST AND DARKEST NIGHT OF THE YEAR, SO INVISIBLE HELPERS ARE MOST EASILY BORN ON THE LONGEST AND DARKEST NIGHT OF THE MONTH; NAMELY, THE NIGHT OF THE NEW MOON.

THE CHURCH STEEPLE IS VERY BROAD AT THE BASE, BUT, GRADUALLY, IT NARROWS MORE AND MORE, UNTIL AT THE TOP, IT IS JUST A POINT WITH A CROSS ABOVE IT. SO IT IS WITH THE PATH OF HOLINESS. AT LAST THERE COMES A POINT WHERE THE PATH IS AS SHARP AS THE RAZOR'S EDGE, AND THEN WE CAN ONLY GRASP AT THE CROSS, BUT WHEN WE HAVE ATTAINED THAT POINT, WE CLIMB THIS NARROWEST OF ALL PATHS, THEN WE ARE FIT TO FOLLOW THE CHRIST INTO THE BEYOND AND SERVE THERE AS WE HAVE SERVED HERE.

LET US NOW GO INTO OUR ROOMS, SPEAKING ONLY THAT WHICH MAY BE NECESSARY, AND THERE MEDITATE UPON THESE THINGS, CONSECRATING OUR LIVES ANEW, AND ASKING THE HELP OF THE ELDER BROTHERS IN BECOMING CONSCIOUS INVISIBLE HELPERS TO THE GLORY OF HIS NAME.
