The most Divine Mystery of time is that which is held in every ancient word expressing the Mother of Divinity, and symbolizing the Messianic birth; the feminine name is primal, the first Mystery of nature is revealed in the Feminine Principle. The keepers of all Sacred Symbols, when the true meaning has not been eliminated or lost by misinterpretation, have declared these things are found in the roots of all languages; that the meaning of "Mother" - the "Primal Mother" - was the one who had charge of the Earth and the heavens belonging to the Earth. Thus, when the "Children of the Sun", who otherwise were called "The Sons of God", came into the knowledge of that which was to be their inheritance, the first knowledge was of the primal Genetrix, the Mother-Life pervading the universe; the expression of the Dual Life making the Mother the most prominent.

* These two names are comparatively "modern" or of a later period than this lesson treats of, but they are synonyms of names and orders then- formed. The "Manama*" are also ancient in derivation.

The next Mystery was the expression of the Divine Mother in the veiled Sacred life of human birth, and that souls are in the keeping of this Divine Mother before they enter outward life. Such as are to take part in her Kingdom are pervaded by her Love and by the knowledge which is known in all the kingdoms of the heavenly states. So the Angels of earthly lives are held therefore in keeping, obedient to the mandates of this Divine Mother; as in the symbolical household of Earth: the mother has charge of her children, while the father represents the conquering power that shall yield strength, support and encircle them with his love. All this is crudely expressed in the lower forms of human love. Divinely expressed when that Love becomes Divine. So ensphered and veiled, in the love and appointed homes of each period, the Sacred Mother guards her children; and before their birth selects her daughters and her sons who are to bear forward the Message of Truth unto the world.

While the selection of the "twelve" disciples of Jesus was only symbolical, in Sacred records there are always twelve Angels who encircle and surround the Madonna life during the preparation for the Advent or the New Birth. There are also previously several successive generations (as in the instances of the prophetesses of Judea) who bear forward under the priestesses the symbols of the Sacred Mother, and you could easily trace their part in the great event from the awakened interest in the knowledge of things divine.

You turn unto the Divine Mother for Love, instead of unto the records for Wisdom and Knowledge. That which has robbed the records of their intrinsic value is that the account of these sacred lives has been determined from the records of the "Gatekeepers" for external knowledge; while only the divinely endowed ones within the Shrine could perceive the Sacred Life and Light The Hebraic priests bore from the Egyptian temples the symbol of the Divine Life in the double triangle; but they did not know the significance; therefore whenever "The Holy of Holies" was invaded by ordinary priests, instead of by Initiates into Cabalistic and sacred lore, it was sacrilege; they did not understand the meaning of the union of the Heavens and the Earth, which was symbolized in the double triangle*; the union which is the perfect Manifestation of the Father-Mother God, through interpretation or expression.

In all that is valuable on Earth, in every thought or expressed Truth that is of any value to human existence: Inventions, science, art; in all that pertains to the perfection of Divine Law; whatever is revealed in mathematics, in chemistry, in geology; in any or all of the primal sciences, in language or in any other way; emphasis is given to the fact that the Feminine Life is manifest in the life of discoverer, inventor, artist, and that without that life the Truth cannot be declared whatever research there may be.
