None save those who understood their spiritual meaning or innermost significance, could even hear the words; those who were initiated welt understood that even if the words were spoken to ears not attuned by the divine voice of this Madonna they could not even understand the meaning, though the words were spoken in their own language.

Such was the significance of these symbols, such the nature of the Divine life that was revealed, that it is said when this Madonna came to Earth, when she revealed herself in human form, two portions of the Heavens that had been separated before were united; it was also said in this divine symbolism that the stars in the vaults of the Northern heaven changed places; especially those that constituted the symbols of this Madonna, and that never again, until the recurrence of the Cycle of which this Two-Fold Truth was the precursor, shall those stars be in similar place, or position; so that the numbers three and four (seven), were equally significant of her powers; and in that Dispensation though the feminine life was outwardly lost sight of, it was not buried beneath the masculine power of Hermes; for while intelligence and knowledge and power were the all-pervading influences of life, it was still unto this life, the Mother of Two Truths, that Hermes ever turned for counsel, for wisdom; and it is said that she walked by his side, although unseen, that she never departed from him; that during the entirety of his mortal pilgrimage, in all the lines of expression in time and sense it was ever known that She was there: the Manifester, the Inspirer, the Revealer of the Truths that were to be declared; and that though the Messiah was expressed in dual form, his spirit still turned to this Mother of Two Truths for the revelations that were to make all things perfect in their twofold expression. Thus the first discovery of nature's dual expression was revealed when this Madonna from the North appeared; when out of her kingdom she descended to the Earth, bearing her message unto Earth as the "Queen of the South".

These symbols have been given in the records, although they have been handed down through much blindness and misinterpretation; they serve, however, to explain such phrases as "Solomon's Marriage with the Egyptian Woman", "Pharoah's Daughter", and the rebuke which was received by "David's favorite child", who was to bear forward the "Kingdom of the One God". There is included in the Hebraic, Sacred and antique books much of this most ancient Symbolism, or mythological record; you will find "The Wisdom and the splendor of Solomon" and the visit of the "Queen of Sheba", i. e., "The Queen of Seven", or "The Queen of the Sun and the Throne", are but interpolations and transpositions of this wonderful drama enacted thousands of ages previous, when the Light of the Northern and Southern heavens were supposed to be united.

The Astronomers were unable previously to trace the "signs" before the Two Truths, or "two tokens" had been revealed; they had been obliged to rely upon limited observations, or tradition, for all that was passing in the Northern Heavens; and those in the North had relied on tradition for that which was passing in the Southern Heavens; the Mother of Two Truths combined the solution of all these mysteries in herself, explaining all that had preceded her, unveiling all the Mysteries of the preceding Dispensation, of the Oneness of the Life, by the twofold life that was hers.

Union of the "North" and "South." Just as .the first, the Primal Dispensation, had revealed the unity of Life, so came the twofold line of this New Revelation as found in nature: unveiling the mystery of dual life as manifest in all the forms of Earth, and the revelation of mathematics that made possible the solution of the mysteries of the Northern and Southern Heavens.

Such time as this recurrent cycle shall again appear unto the world, this same Madonna, out of the splendor and the amplitude of her state of Being in the Heavens, will recall unto the children of Earth these Truths that have been obscured; and at such time as the stars that form her Symbols of expression shall take the same position as before - that of the three points in the Trident of Neptune - "Ursa Major" will have changed his position, facing the Earth instead of standing as now. All those stars that were accounted the "Delineators of Time", from which the first Time-circles were declared, will have changed their places, returning to the position they had in that Dispensation. This will occur in the Seventh Dispensation; then for the second time will appear this Goddess of the Twofold Truth in her recurrent or concurrent sphere or Dispensation. So when this twofold life, this Madonna of the Two Truths, shall be fully interpreted, it will be in the Seventh Dispensation; for her symbols are both two and seven.

As the symbol of the First Dispensation was the One encircling sphere so the Sixth Cycle will repeat the number, in the six-pointed star, which announces the beginning of the Sixth Dispensation.

In the numbers and Symbols which were used by the ancients to express these Dispensations, the Hermetic mysteries did not admit or include the numbers ten and five; for it was supposed that these (ten and five) would reveal the Sacred Name. The reason that nine and six were used instead of the ten and five (although both combinations make fifteen) was because nine and six already revealed a Sacred Name; the other numbers revealing a name or names that were not known in the Hermetic Philosophy or Dispensation, Nine, "Three times Three", being one of the symbols for the other - the first - Madonna. The analysis is: twice three was the symbol for the Truths already known, a complete circle of Truth, three times three for the Truths that were to be declared; the other three in the Primal Twelve were veiled; but six and one, Seven, was the number of the recurrent Dispensation of the mother of the Two-Fold Truth.
