When the Primal Type is superseded as is the case in the human expression, we enter upon the first stage of the realization of this Divine Mother through revelation from within, from the Angel. As natural, external motherhood typifies Generation, so the revealed Divine Mother typifies Regeneration; and the real meaning of Regeneration is to be found in the innermost soul. When Regeneration begins, the Angel is declared; all forms of generation may pass on harmoniously and perfectly without even the slightest knowledge of things divine; but when there is need for regeneration, when the natural, material life does not satisfy, and when in human life (alone) there is a wandering away from Mother in Nature, there is then a period of the state of shadow, darkness and gloom, in which the wandering children of earth, seeking their Primal Mother, do not know the gift of the Divine Mother that awaiteth them.

In ancient times, the Mother of Earth was represented clothed in the garments of the visible forms around you; robes of greeting that symbolize nature's perpetual life; these were symbols of the unfolding mysteries of human existence. Those forms that veiled in ancient art, and in the mysteries of the Temples, declaring the twofold life of the Divine Parent, are forms that but symbolize the power of the expression of the Divine Mother on earth.

The stamp of material nature upon the human life is the penalty or necessary result of physical existence; for the soul parts from the state of divine perception of Love and Wisdom on entering the human life; and in human existence alone there is found the "wandering in the wilderness," where the love of the mother is sometimes lost and all expressions of affection are clouded.

What then shall we say of those trembling lines of light and life, those encompassing, all pervading Powers that first declare the approach of the Divine Mother of all Love? You who have followed through these teachings, the wanderings of the soul in its outward expression, will begin to understand that there can be no preparation for this Regenerating power until the knowledge of this Divine Love is revealed; and that when souls in their complete expression, find on Earth their recognition, that is the all-important step toward the preparation for the recognition of the Divine Mother. As each soul is dual, the life that is veiled becomes at last revealed; and as the innermost part of the spirit of the soul is veiled during the periods of external expression, so when the inner recognition cometh, that which was previously hidden is revealed; as in the blossoming of the flower, the mysteries of its life, until the quickening and unfolding, are hidden; so in the soul the life and love within, when the awakening comes, that which was hidden becomes declared.
