As these twelve subordinate cycles (ten and two) unfolded under the reign of the power of this Primal Angel, all different degrees of knowledge had their immediate and perfect expression and adaptation.

It is no fable to suppose that in the Primal Morning of all revealed Knowledge, the knowledge is more perfect than it is at any other time, excepting there be a similar culmination in another Dispensation. For instance: the primal knowledge of Chemistry was more perfect in its first revelation than it could ever be in any succeeding dispensation, excepting the particular portion of a dispensation where that culmination is again reached, as each dispensation repeats that which is past and goes one degree beyond; so in the Primal Morning of Knowledge, the knowledge that was stamped upon the human race by the different Interpreters of the first dispensation, and by the culminating Messiah, was perfect knowledge; and in the Cycles of each dispensation when each reaches that particular stage of unfoldment, the age again becomes en rapport with the same degree of knowledge; for in each dispensation is repeated by intuitive revealment that which was primarily stamped upon the earth by those Messiahs of the Dispensation of knowledge.

As each Messiah who was the greatest in the Cycles, declared unto the lesser ones the full splendor of knowledge, the others breaking this to the understanding of the world; so these various twelve Messiahs in the Dispensation that was first, broke a part of the knowledge to the race that was ready; and in filtrating through the darker ages that have ever intervened between the Messianic Cycles, these primal lights flash out and show their original splendor, such time as the succeeding Dispensations are ready Perfect Knowledge, therefore, has never grown; the truth is, that all succeeding races and Dispensations must reach the primal stamp that was given to the world under the primal dispensation. Knowledge has been broadcast instead of crystallized and concentrated; but were you able to see with the eye of reminiscence (as you often do see with the eye of prophecy), this ancient race and this succession of races, each one receiving the primal impress, the divine stamp of knowledge, you would say, "There will never again be perfect knowledge; no perfect chemistry, no perfect knowledge of chemical law, nothing by which motion may be better understood, no added mathematical power; language in all exchange of human thought will never be more perfect; thought itself will never be so purely crystallized; in broken shards the shining white light that beams from the Messiah's throne, falls, seemingly in fragments, at the feet of the ages, while this primal age received the light perfectly." Make no mistake; you would be deceived by the clearness and splendor of those ages of material knowledge; but they went no farther; they were upon the threshold only; they belonged to the age of physical victory, which was man's first inheritance; and the stamp struck home with distinct shining blows of light to fasten the impress upon the earth of the knowledge of the material universe. But the realm of Spirit into which the human mind had never entered and which forms the vast other realm, as has been shown, was to that age and cycle, a sealed book; men and women walked the earth with beautiful physical forms and clear, crystallized thought; but possessed naught that bears semblance to such loveliness as your Lord revealed.

Let us then make no mistake of feeble repining and regret for this past "Golden Age," but see clearly, as God's Arch Angels and Angels give the testimony, that while there was in human knowledge speech and thought, every exactitude, every formula that related to the conquest and government of physical forces, there was no realm behind and beyond all that vast superstructure of knowledge; the realm of the Soul was unperceived and unrevealed. This glittering edifice, this shining temple of knowledge, even like a palace of ice, challenges our admiration; we see in it, as the sacred symbolic and wonderful "keystone" in the center of the arch, Mathematics, but we know that it was without soul; that the stupendous truths of the Soul which were then not revealed, were concealed because perfect material knowledge was first thus to be stamped upon the earth, and leave its impress for the ages that were to follow.

This, beloved, is but the primal or introductory lesson; being the approach to first Messianic cycle. In the next we shall hope to give in more definite name and order the states of that vast cycle; and give you intimation of the next, for it is our intention, if we bear forward the purpose now in view and you sustain us with your soul perceptions, to give the names of each of the larger Messiahs and, approximately, the mission of the lesser Messiahs in the five dispensations that have passed.

And now, as when we meet, so when we part, we must pass through the vestibule of the sacred Light and Life, returning ever unto the shrine Celestial, which is the shrine of Love and Wisdom; so do we part with you there in this, our greeting and our benediction.

The Light That Is To Come

What has been ever is to come;

Only the souls that are ready know, Perceiving the glory of that home, Whose highest height, whose bending bow Depict the glory of God's state For which all other souls must wait

The primal rays of Truth on earth

Are but broken lines of light at best; Still perfect in their hour of birth, They bear the message of God's behest; And when all rays shall be complete They lay the treasure at Heaven's feet.

The light cornea as the morning comes,

When o'er the East the glow appears; It comes as when the angels come, Revealing the light of all the spheres; The morning breaks, the glory is there, The soul finds its Light unaware.
