For, after the race of angels wherein the expression was dual and the life equal in all ways, and was recognized in the early part of the Dispensation in the Hermetic race, later the feminine principle was not manifest in any possession of power, and in the later Hermetic races the feminine angels and their manifestations gradually withdrew, and the possession of knowledge was almost wholly absorbed and monopolized by the masculine element; but of course this was not so in the complete manifestation of the Messianic expression of that which Hermes and Hermia brought in the human form; then there was equal expression and equal knowledge. When in this dispensation of power, might took possession of the Earth, and victory was sought through all physical and intellectual methods which existed in human life, there was no recognized feminine expression of Power. The feminine Angel and Messianic counterpart, was veiled in the mystic symbolism of the past revealed expression; but to that conquering race of heroes the mighty potency of the dual force that gave them their power was not known; Ariella was not manifest to those people.

In physical appearance unlike the first race, which was perfect in type, but not exceeding large in size, these sons of power were primarily a race of giants intellectually and physically, corresponding to that which they represented upon the Earth; but by the decadence of the Primary meaning of Power, there was also decadence in physical perfection and in intellectual methods; but whatever was the result of the manifestation of the twelve lesser cycles as depicted representing the Dispensation of Power possessed by the people, there were four distinct degrees of that power: one was power over the physical elements around them, a portion of the inheritance from the preceding Dispensation of Knowledge; the second was the power over their own faculties, physically and mentally, to the degree of controlling the physical body to perform any act, summoning the mind to perform any thought that was required, great facility of controlling the organism; the third was control over the up-building of the centers of activities on the Earth; that is, wherever there were cities, where there was commerce, where there were products of the Earth to be distributed, whatever had been the result of human enterprise and industry or intelligence, these people possessed and perfected; and fourth and almost absolute was the power over human beings. Wherever they found any weaker or unprotected people they subjugated them; theirs was the power to subdue, and, in a literal sense, they fulfilled the original injunction in the Adamic creation, of "conquering or possessing the Earth," in this human, as well as in a physical sense. Not only the primal race of those who were the progenitors in the Dispensation of Power, but all who succeeded them, bore similar qualities with, however, the receding lines that ever come afterward.

We could give you the names (or Synonyms) of the lesser Messiahs of this dispensation, but it is not necessary in your present age of history to give the names of each of the lesser Messiahs in this kingdom of Ariel; but the words which we have chosen with which to express the Dispensation had no beginning in that race.

The name that most clearly expresses the Greatest Conquerer, and who was the King under the angelic cycle of Ariel, is

AHASUERUS, The wonderful word whose root meanings extend far backwards, some of them thousands of years antecedent to this race to which we have referred; for language, in letters, words, signs or numbers, was among the gifts left as a portion of their possessions from the Primal Angels and from the ancient races of Knowledge.

Those gifts culminated in this Lion-hearted, dominant King. Many times when you read in the ancient mystic records, especially in Cabalistic lore, of the "Conquering King," even the "King of Kings," whose power had "dominion over the world," you are reading not of a higher and Divine Kingdom but of this dominant King of the Dispensation of Power. His was the sowing of the Primal seeds of Power which were to Dear harvests in other Dispensations or generations of time; seeds that were planted upon the Earth then as those of Knowledge were planted in the preceding Dispensation; you will perceive that by whatever way, or through whatever receding or incoming tides, man is at last to have "dominion over the Earth," the physical and intellectual methods of that power in those ages were all known and tried; there was lacking only the one method that gives value to the whole. But whatever may be the human ambitions that the world has since seen, whatever the love of power which kings and rulers have manifested in later Dispensations, that which was manifested upon Earth at that time, as far transcended these as the Primal Light transcends the smallest meteor. So superior were these absolute culminations, that in their very magnitude and sublimity they challenge admiration and reverence; for in the expression of Power the Primal Source of it is as perfect as any other expression (of attributes), but it is the perversion of it that constitutes always the "fall" or recession from the height; that constitutes the subversion.
