If you were to be imitated instead of instructed (but instruction is all that is necessary in these days), those of you who wear the feminine form would be arrayed in white and gold, symbol of the Divine Mother; the white being the emblem of pure Love, and gold being the symbol of perfect ensphering Light and strength; that is: the strength which is typified in the Wisdom of God, and revealed in perfect Knowledge; those who wear the masculine form would be clothed in white robes, symbol of the recognition of perfect Love, bordered with blue, which would symbolize Wisdom; and each would wear a scarf of blue, upon which would be the inscription of the ancient symbol or name of divine Love and Wisdom, the Mother-Father GOD, Om. Upon your heads those in the masculine form would wear a crown or turban, fashioned of gold; and the feminine brow would be adorned with white lilies, which are the symbol of Divine Life; the latter would wear roses of pure white upon their bosoms, or bear them in their hands as symbol of Love that is pure and perfect. Such were the robes and adornments of those who received the primal mysteries of the Divine Mother; such would be the symbols that would express the meaning of the Truths to be declared. We attach little import to those outer vestments, Symbols and adornments, because those who are now ready for the Truth, do not require that arraying of the form with symbols. Still it is well to bear them in mind, since much that will be spoken has reference to their symbolical meaning.

Then, if being initiated, you would first bend toward the East as the Divine Teacher would guide you; you would salute the New life or New dawn, of which the East is the symbol. You would say, "I salute the Rising Day, the glory of the New Light, the Morning of the New Truth, of which the Sun is the symbol and the shield." And as led by the Teacher, you would then turn towards the South and would salute the South, from whence in ancient days came the Primal Genetrix of the Earth, symbol of the life-giving waters, the life-giving atmosphere; and you would say, "I salute the South, the Symbol of the Mother, enfolding the mysteries of Creation." You would then turn toward the North, bending in obedience to the Leader, and salute the North, as symbol of those mysterious etherial powers, those Magnetic and Electric forces that produce the Earth's atmosphere, and, meeting the warm ardors of the South, give ever new vitality to life by reason of the Electric Flame. You would then turn toward the West and salute the space where the sun seems to go down, the wonderful prophecy of the future, naming the West, the symbol of prophecy, as beyond the shadow the Rising Spiritual Light is there; and turning thence to the Shrine, you would receive the instruction on the Truths-of the Divine Mother. None but Angels, either in states of angelic life or embodied on Earth today, are ready to receive the fullness of the message that is to be found in the Book of Life; The Divine Mother; portions only can be given. There are those in human life that may, in some measure, receive it through the help of the Angels of the Earth.
