Divine Mother-Father, perfect life and love, Infinite Being; Thou who art all Love and Wisdom, unto Thee forever Thy children turn within that perfect altar of Divine Love; and as the baptism of Thy grace descendeth, may they put aside all thoughts of earthliness, the sandals and dust of time from their feet, and from their minds the cares of earthly existence; and turn unto Thee whose Life is their Light, whose Baptism is their Renovation. May they realize the All-Hallowed light of Thy perfect Love, and receive the blessing of Thy perfect Wisdom. And as is included in Thy divine sphere all Blessedness, so may the Blessedness of this hour, make more and more complete in their lives the glory of Thy Kingdom. Amen.

Address

We give you greeting, Beloved ones; from the sphere of the Divine Mother, Greeting:

Were you in the Temple unto which you are summoned this night, you would bend first toward the South; all your thoughts in obedience would turn to the Divine Mother, who holds within her keeping all the life that appears on the Earth forever; and who from the Southern Heavens links the South with the North; you would turn toward the West, as toward the light that, receding, gives place for the new day; you would turn then toward the North, unto which the Great Mother - ever joined, twain in one - retires, her Northern Kingdom; and toward the East you would turn as toward the Rising Day, in which the symbols are found of the New Birth. Then in the Divine permission, and in the divine Recognition, you 367 would turn to where the group of stars is found, in which abides the Star-Eyed Madonna of the South, who, when she comes from the great Southern heavens, is named the Goddess-Mother of all life, Light and Grace, as she joined the Heavens of the South with those of the North. You would become imbued with the knowledge of the New Kingdom; for as Ahasuerus in his long reign symbolized and illustrated Strength, the Divine Mother was veiled and almost completely hidden, except in Her Kingdom. From out the South the great Orb of Light symbolizes her presence and reproduces over all the lands South and East, even to the far Orient, the great tides of re-birth which were known under other names and symbolized in many forms. Thus during the "Interval" (see fourth Messianic lesson) you perceive her glory was not blotted out nor dimmed, only withdrawn.
