Long did the "Wise Ones" of Earth wait for the full revelation of the perfect numbers and name. In this Dispensation of which we are now speaking, the Daughter of the Madonna bearing the human form still was expressed in the twofold symbolism, although there was a declaration of the solution of the Primal unit by threes: - 3 - 6=9 - and 3 - making twelve. In Her Dispensation there was the declaration of the twofold principle in science, and the expression in its Primal essence of the twofold principle of life, and the twofold nature of Deity.

Throughout the whole of the Hermetic Dispensation, this dual life, was made manifest in more external ways than before; therefore more perfectly revealed unto the "Wise Ones" was that principle of the Two Truths, not yet revealed unto the masses of the Earth, but they became symbolized in numbers, in words, and in the characters and terms employed for the expression of all life that existed under this Dispensation. Also the Dove first became the symbol of the "Divine Messenger" and the reason of this was that the Dove, the "Menat," in its twofold expression, was taught to bear messages from the Mother to the "wise men" of the North and of the South; and became the "Messenger" which was afterward discredited in Israel among the Hebrew people, because it was the symbol of this dual Goddess-Mother and of all that typified her reign; even Egypt came to reject that which was the symbol of her primal salvation, because there was war between the "Dynasties" that afterwards came in the recession of this Dispensation, and there was rejection of the general symbols which were twofold, as representing what the Queen or the Mother of Twofold Truths had declared.

These Two Truths spread all over the Orient under various names; and nations, wherever there was life and light sufficient, perceived and accepted the Truths. The masculine and feminine interpretation of Deity and Nature became the accepted one, and the latter was not veiled, until a "thousand years" afterward when the recession began, and these mysteries were hidden and these symbols were veiled by vague and material interpretations.

From those splendid stars that gleam out each clear night in the heavens, the first "Recorders" of the cycles of time, came the Seven Angels accompanying the Mother of Two-fold Truth, they were also the Seven Symbols of the Truths that were declared after the Two Truths; these Seven Truths constituted the all essential knowledge of that time, but were subsequently changed by the Kaballa to Ten, when the cycles changed; but the Seven was the primal number, symbolizing in the numbers six and one Truths most active in the Constellations whence the Seven Angels came; the "Vacant Throne" signified that this Mother, the fair Madonna "wedding the North to the South," had departed for a time spiritually from her sphere to give New Truths to the Earth: the mysterious Two Truths.

As we have said before, as soon as those truths are to be again manifest, and the children of Earth are ready, not alone to secret Orders, nor to any especial nations will they be given, but to all people who are ready when the Cycle is here, then will this Mother appear who declared the Two Truths. Then will be understood the symbols of the dual form in ancient mythology and inscriptions, variously interpreted: Half Woman and half Angel, half Earth, and half Heaven, the true interpretation of which has never been known, either from the ancient ideographs or symbolical language, except to the "wise ones," the Angels. Some portions were culled, however, by the compilers in the phrases, "the first and last," "the beginning and the ending," etc. No one knows what these originally meant. The meaning is simply this: that which faced the South at the time of this revelation, was the feminine life; that which was concealed, or in the North, was the masculine; when the Hebraic priests and interpreters, anxious to suppress the feminine meaning, reversed the record, and announced the "King"; the "Lord"; the "Creator"; "He"; "J-h-v-h," it was simply in antagonism to the ancient symbols, the ancient language, and the ancient mysteries expressed in Ash-toreth, which revealed the active principle in the word "sreth", as in the word "Jehovah," the four letters from which alone that word can be fashioned, were primarily embodied in the synonym to include the feminine life (and the word Ye-ho-vah is not wholly masculine even in its full rendering). "Elohim" was added to make more certain the interpretation. In Hebraic "Scripture" is a partial revival of the origines which belong, in their roots, to the Hermetic Mysteries. In the naming of the Divinities which afterward succeeded this primal name among other nations, when Hermes left the Earth and other deities gradually supplanted his name, the names were changed from feminine to masculine, the "Mother of Two Truths" to some deity unknown. The primal significance of the "Two Truths" was lost.

Birth and Re-birth. The Two Truths survive, and have an eternal expression here and hereafter, for the mystery of life in its birth and re-birth belongs unto the kingdom of the Soul, in its expression of, and its recognized oneness, "like unto God." No one except those who could comprehend the meaning of this thought could have any knowledge of the meaning of the "Two Truths" which the Divine Mother dedared, and none excepting those who could understand this mystery could at that time have access to the temples of worship and of learning, to the mystery of "breaking the circle" of the One life in nature ("the circle, or sphere, cannot be measured until divided"), or to that which primarily forms the basis of every chemical combination: the separation of the ultimate (primal) atom or globule from all combinations.

For to the Hermetic mystics alone through the Primal Mother was revealed the fact - not of the scientific "primates" - but that the only Primate is the Dual Globule, the primal atom, which derives every function of its existence from simply being divided, and thereby imparts its essence to every form in nature.

In these mysteries every Alchemistic formula, every formation of socalled "primordial cells," and every mathematical arrangement, was perfect; and only in these mysteries was it discovered in what manner "primal substance," as it was called, could be known. The primal Mother of Two Truths declared the dual nature of the primal substance and when she again appears will make in all scientific bases, this complete change, which is fundamental, then the imperfect combinations and imperfect interpretations of science will be replaced by perfection, by restoring the One primal substance, the origin of all life, by division.

There are those upon the Earth today who partake of the nature of, or have almost arrived at being. Angels, who are ready for the Life that will come; who perceive the Primal Truths, and who will be ready to meet this Presence; who if in pursuit of science, whether of chemistry, mathematics, or geology, would be able to perceive the Two Truths which this Mother declared; as those who are ready will, in the Sixth Dispensation, perceive the primal Truth of the first Madonna; the perfect sphere of Life, the Oneness of nature, and that Oneness which is found here divided. One God, the Soul like unto God; but the mystery of this division was that which the second Mother revealed; those divided, found themselves united under the first mystery; so the mystery of division, and of the reunion of primal substance, was the mystery of the Mother of the Two Truths. As this division and reunion take place in the inner nature, only the formal outward expression in nature was known; the essence of life was unknown, save that it was known to bear the stamp of creation.

The primal Mother of the Two Truths could perceive the secret workings of chemical forces; at that time there were those by whom it was thought that metals could be transfused into one another; or called into existence seemingly out of the empty air. Thus it was thought that the ultimate particles (Substance) of matter, once having been formed and found, could be fused, separated, reunited; that in their primal sources, all forms of substances could be traced, dissolved and recreated; also the essential truth, that there is but one kind of "Primal" "ultimate atom" - globule - that every diversity of expression in nature is the result of the division of this atom, as the diversity of any kind of life is the result of division; so are the varieties of the expressions of the soul the result of division, but the one ultimate essence is of eternity. In time as in eternity, in matter as in soul, in all expressions of God as in all expressions of soul, the primal principles are ever the same.

This sacred Mother, brooding over all the nations of the Hermetic Dispensation, yielded that Twofold Truth, and stamped it upon every image, every hieroglyph, every symbol; those who bore it forward gave it in symbols that were afterwards, as said before, nearly lost in the mazy labyrinths of mythology, or by the false teachers that hopelessly entangled it, or drove it to the shelter of the Cloister and Cell of the "Wise Men" of the Sacred Orders.

The glorious spectacle, as now seen in the brilliance of the orbs whence Her presence came, is caused by the light of that Presence which, even now, flows earthward from that sphere, the light of the Two Primal Truths, that are beginning to be perceived by mankind because of Angels of Science and Religion. As in the approaching Dispensation the Primal Truths are to be gathered in the Kingdom of the New Life, so whatever glimpses or perceptions those who are ready can have, they will bear them forward unto the next Dispensation; for upon the Earth must be the number of souls corresponding to the First and Second Truths, the number chosen from out the children of Earth who will bear the sacred Life and Light of that Divine Mother.

When it was not unusual that there were dual births (twins) - they were not exceptional so frequent were they - the dual births were always praised and adored as the token of a certain expression of this Twofold Life, and the mother bearing the dual forms to birth was hailed and heralded as "one especially favored by the Mother of Two Truths." And when two natures were expressed in one life ("Hermaphrodite")* it was considered especially significant as bearing the nature of "a god" - and such lives were held sacred, for what reason we cannot here declare unto you, but for the reason of the Supposed symbol of the Twofold Truth.

* In the original meaning of this form of two-fold life there is every reason to suppose that the Divine Marriage was thought to be typified, inappropriately, however.

As we bear these mysteries forward, you discover that even to analyse the earth and its forms and mysteries, it must be under the interpretation of that which is Divine; so the perception of all truths can be declared only in that way.
