From the heavenly Messianic stage to the cradle, from the light divine to the shadow of the Earth, are such stages as only Angels and Arch Angels know who have part in the Messianic birth. As step by step this light is unfolded, its stages are revealed to the Angels of the Divine Sacrament, the Arch Angels of the Celestial Marriage; thus the Angels of the New Kingdom of Life and Light divine are all aware. "As soon as the receding waves of one dispensation begin to pass," sayeth the Ancient Mother, "the Arch Angel is aware and after the shadow maketh preparation for that which is to come," so the angels of the New Dispensation appear at their places in the Heavens and clothe themselves with the adornments of Life to carefully conceal, and yet to reveal, the divine mystery that is to come. Of all this angelic preparation only "seers" and "prophets" are made aware; while the great Earth goes sweeping on in its blindness and the people of the world bend down to the very depths, seeking in vain for light; but knowing the way, the Exalted Ones declare it; upon many Celestial heights it is known; in the silence of that Sacred Place it is revealed.

The sixth constellation or "sign in the Zodiac" of the Virgin (Virgo) was introduced after this Cycle of time. As this Divine Mother, walking with her daughters of the Earth, set the seal of her divinity here and pointed the way for the renewed life; so the Ancient Life departed with the old time reckoning, and the old darkness faded away.

Unto her kingdom of brightness, all Divine possibilities, for the time being, were concentrated; and there was born the image of the first Celestial Love, the image of the first Divinity that shapes itself into the form of earth wearing the Godlike mien, whether man or woman or both no one knows on Earth today; for so veiled is the record, save that the life was born and passed away in that kingdom, when the Earth outside of that kingdom was waiting for the divine Prophecy to be revealed.

Certain it is, that the trembling waves of light and life, as presented by the veiled bridegroom and the Divine Mother, sweeping over the Earth revealed to the children of the Earth who were ready some portion of this mystery; its glory pervaded the atmosphere; kings, potentates and powers forgot, measurably, the shadow which was upon them, and there was something like the dawn of that Perfect Life that shall come when the whole Earth is fully redeemed; but like pale twilight compared to the full glory, like a prophecy compared to the fulfillment, like a faint foregleam compared to the full revelation of the divine. But this much was known; that never after that kingdom of "three times three," were the daughters of Earth utterly hopeless; never was there a time when some "prophetess" did not appear, and even in the shadowed kingdoms of Earth that followed each Dispensation, the Light Celestial would shine and glimmer with something of this wonderful name. A prophecy of that which had been previously referred to in the Book of the Madonna, the "Book of the Divine Mother," unfolds itself more and more, and we see that this prototype is a prophecy of that which afterwards is to appear, and which but for the interlude, but for this strain of celestial music thrown into the jargon and discord of Earth, could never have been explained.

We perceive going out from this small kingdom there were ministrations of light, there were "Sons of God" summoned thither from every part of the then habitable Earth; there were the "Chosen Ones" to receive words from the Mighty Mother to whom her commandments and commissions were given; and there was imparted to all some glimmering of this celestial light of the perfect state of Love that shall be borne forward triumphantly, even into the shadows that were to intervene. The shadow of the Earth as seen in the Celestial, lasts only for the period between each dispensation that the Earth has seen, or shall see, and it only seems the smallest portion of time compared to the great Cycles that sweep in full of splendor and might.

This kingdom of the Madonna at last came to seem as evening, as the remaining tremblings of a light that was not yet fully revealed, but would be revealed. Yet distinctly do we trace by ancient landmarks (symbolism) that through this one period of the Mother, all the messengers that went forth, were borne forward upon the crested waves that embraced the triumph of Goodness, of Love, and the ultimate Purity enshrined in the sacred image of the Divine Mother. Whatever pertained to that kingdom, revealed unto the nations of the Earth the possibility and prophecy of that which was to come. As in Judea, it is said, each mother, expectant, hoped for a prophet, or possibly the Messiah; so the mothers among the races that afterwards came upon the Earth unto which there was promised, and at last came fulfillment, there are indications that reveal traces of this expectancy of Divine Motherhood.

It shines now as it then shone, like a Central Light within the Heavens, as though the Earth had been half-orphaned before this Celestial Glory had taken its place side by side with the Divinity of God as the Father, and for the first time the equal conception of the divine Mother was born.

After the period of the Divine Mother, the word Angel in the most secret Cabalistic symbolism signified the Messenger of the Divine Mother. As the Message of the Divine Mother was looked to with reference to the Cycles of time in which the Messiahs were to be born, so the word Angel came to mean those who had charge of the cycles in which the Messiahs were to appear; those who were summoned to bear the message to the Daughters of Earth; for in all this Mystery of the Divine Madonna the bridegroom is hidden. When the Christ appears, there must be a revelation; but the Name of the Divine Bridegroom is hidden, is veiled; no one knows the message or the messenger save alone the bride of Heaven appointed to bear the message. This is only found in the Cabalistic interpretation of the "Virgin"; the message comes from the Angel to the Virgin; this is why the Angels revealed all the mystery, gliding behind the senses and taking away the outward mask of the dust, the Celestial Bride and Bridegroom meet in inner consciousness; the Messiah is approaching and he shall declare to the children of Earth, or he shall reveal that which only can be known previously in the Kingdom Celestial. The lowly "manger," the cabalistic "Joseph," or he whom God the Father appointed to shield the secret mystery of the history enshrined in the birth of the Messiah. Wherever they are found, whether in the Orient, whether in Egypt, or whether it be in the symbol of the "King's Daughters" that go forth to eternal mystic ways to find the "ark" or promise of God there; or whether in some more ancient Cabalistic meaning, the Divine Mother passing into the Heaven of Heavens finds there the "image" of the Christ, and through the bending Angels and Arch Angels bears it triumphantly to the Earth; or in that still more ancient tradition, which is all true, of the Image which was veiled in the headwaters of the Nile, - the Secret Divinity, the Maternity and the Bridegroom alike in all sacred lore, are hidden, yet all revealed in the perfect Love and (veiled) Wisdom, made manifest as this kingdom was.
