INTRODUCTION

 M ^ ^ gS a man, I chose naught but reason, and yet the 
 
 I J— I 1 ways of life and the thoughts of men had given 
 1 ^ — •- i me but little. But one day 1 felt as if there 
 
 |illlllllll illll>| was a change, and then there came unto me 
 
 llll|lllilll|llllll one ^^<> called himself "Marcus," and he 
 
 Jig told me of the many things that I should 
 
 8 S J know. A man's reason W2w not mine to use; 
 
 W but the reasoning powers that cometh from 
 
 the great invisible forces. 
 
 If you who read this judge harshly the ways of the 
 Father, then thou wilt not understand ; but if thou seekest, 
 ais I did, with love and hope, then thou wilt read it and 
 be comforted. 
 
 So it came about that I, in my plain way, chose to 
 find some method that I could write these things and 
 place them into form. 
 
 If the sunlight is clear for thee when thou readest, 
 unto thee will be given many things as it hath been given 
 unto me. 
 
 Across the sea of light I send this that has been gath- 
 ered together by Marcus for me. May it prove to many 
 the link that connects them with that great, unbounded 
 place wherein dwelleth all things that the Father hath 
 
 415560 
 
/creiated.''*'A'iicl''l* Will wait and hope, fully knowing and 
 realizing how truly beautiful are the ways of He who 
 leadeth us day by day. 
 
 It has been a work for those of us whom Marcus hath 
 come unto, to make it full of happiness and love and trust. 
 So I send the words of Marcus into the great, restless, 
 heeding world that it may find a place among them. 
 That it may find a welcome into many, many homes. So 
 in my way, walking as I do among men and women, I 
 hope that they may feel kindly toward what I have striven 
 to prepare in both ways, from he who is of the invisible 
 and I who live among men.

PREFACE 
 
 MARCUS— June 5, 1919 
 
 I have decided to first give you the manner ot the 
 numbering of your lessons. Beginning with the 
 
 First one, place it as the third, 
 
 The second as the first. 
 
 The third as the second, 
 
 The seventh as the fourth, 
 
 The sixth as the fifth, 
 
 The ninth as the seventh, 
 
 Then place the last lesson as the eighth. 
 
 Then take the ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth, al- 
 lowing all the rest to follow as I have given them to you. 
 That is the method of placing them together, as that 
 represents the centuries that followed one after the other 
 in the great consciousness. 
 
 Tonight we will follow the thought entirely within 
 the Egypt That Was. In order that you may understand 
 your last lesson, the bringing of the thought of the Elec- 
 tic Circle will show you the manner by which the Egypt 
 That Was utilized the great thought of Light, not placing 
 it as a Light that is used in the manner that the follow- 
 ing ages afterwards prove, but Light according to the 
 great consciousness as it was used within that Egypt. 
 A great slumbering city in its quietness with no shadow, 
 neither did it claim confusion, yet in its highest condition 
 
 5 
 
of what would be known as spiritual progress, it could 
 not be compared with any other. Later civilization, as 
 man calls it, may question its existence and call it a 
 mirage or a dream, but to those who have followed out 
 its reflection within the earth, it remains one great, won- 
 derful Mystery, unknown and unsought many times with 
 countless unknown laws, unknown conditions and un- 
 known thoughts that can be unfolded and traced from 
 the first great placing of it up to the present time. Noth- 
 ing unreal about it, yet the lights and shadows of it 
 flashed forth like gems whose brilliancy cannot be 
 equalled anywhere else. Every master within it knows 
 and comprehends fully the meaning of it as it is. And 
 they go from place to place within it, finding always 
 ready for them, a higher knowledge, a more perfect 
 thought, nothing dim or unreal in it all. Here and there 
 as the purity and the strength of spirit passeth hither 
 and thither and yonder through it, the harmony of it all 
 is like the wondrous breath that floats over it, protect- 
 ing, guiding and directing it. Its great Temples, works 
 of art, finer than man can conceive of, shine forth as 
 if the perfection of it was greater as you look upon it 
 from time to time. Within them the wondrous flames 
 of purity burn ever, and the passing of they who under- 
 stand its service within, hath no thought save that they 
 can worship there that which created them. 
 
 Thou who seekest a knowledge of the Egypt That 
 Was, will find thyself some time looking closely and 
 seeking out the thought that I have given you that hath 
 made it, for thee, a reality even within physical being. 
 
 Within the Egypt That Was, the triumph of spiritual- 
 ity is like that which flows forth unceasing in its gran- 
 deur. Here and there and everywhere, lifting themselves 
 as if they were more perfect than others, are wonderful 
 completed pictures carved and placed, that they, the mas- 
 
 6 
 
ters, should become cognizant that their work was fin- 
 ished for this great city. 
 
 By the side of one of these stands a master builder. 
 He has never known aught save the perfect fittings of 
 all things, and yet he finds himself questioning as if 
 some current of thought had led him here to trace out 
 through this perfect form and give him what he sought. 
 He looks out over the vast concourse of people and from 
 among their number he calls the name of one he has 
 known and wandered with through many great condi- 
 tions. With a thought he calls him, and the beauty of 
 the language is like the soothing fall of the quiet night. 
 "Why standest thou," he said unto this master, "what is 
 it that thou questioneth about? Hast thou no word 
 from he who is the great master of Egypt? Or hath 
 he given thee something greater to do than thou hast 
 ever done?" "Yea", he said, "he hath given me a mar- 
 ble, a symbol of a marble, and he saith unto me, *when 
 thou hast reasoned with thyself and hath understood, 
 then I wouldst that thou shouldst come unto me.' " Soft 
 and blue was the haze that fell over this wonderful city 
 and the master stood closer yet to this perfect statue. 
 The hands seemed as if within them they held a secret, 
 and he touched them with his own. "Offtimes," he said, 
 "have I looked and wondered if there could be a more 
 perfect place than our Egypt. I have wondered if there 
 was a wisdom greater, a knowledge grander or a con- 
 sciousness higher. It comes to me and flits with me 
 whenever I strive, as thou knowest I often do, to place a 
 purer thought within this wondrous marble. They have 
 brought to me one of the purest stones that I have ever 
 handled. Come thou with me, Marcus, I wouldst have 
 thee see and know something of my thought." 
 
 Through the streets of the city we walked together 
 and at last we entered a low, rambling building; within 
 
 7 
 
it, crowded it seemed as if with the greatest works of art. 
 Here and there in the cool corridors a floating vision of 
 lightness and airiness was placed as if a moment and they 
 would take their winged way far into the great universes 
 that lie beyond the Egypt That Was. The Master led 
 me into a low room, fitted as thou wouldst say, to work 
 in. Here and there and everywhere were great plans 
 that he had drawn. He said unto me : "Hast thou had a 
 vision greater than thou hast ever had? It seemed as if 
 thy spirit would never be satisfied until it had reached 
 a greater height. Why art thou not with us at all times r 
 Why wanderest thou afar? Findest thou aught that is 
 greater than Egypt?" He laughed and said: "My friend, 
 there is naught that has ever been made as perfect as 
 that which striveth to make more perfect. See thou this 
 block of marble? It is my wish and desire that I carve 
 it that it may stand within the eternal heights." I looked 
 upon him, for had I not known the building of Egypt, 
 the beloved place where we had been taught so many 
 things. "Why seekest thou to place it within the eternal 
 heights?" "Listen, Marcus," he said, "not long and I go 
 hence and I would finish this that it may be placed by he 
 whose hands are greater than mine. Watch thou with 
 me a little while." 
 
 He took and began to mold this block of marble, so 
 pure it was it seemed as if only a touch and it began to 
 form itself into a wondrous condition. I said no word 
 unto him, I only waited. Outside the dripping of the 
 fountains and the murmur of many thoughts as if they 
 whom we had known and loved held converse one with 
 the other. And then thou camest unto us. I had missed 
 thee from Egypt; I had wondered whither thou hadst 
 gone. Softly thou didst rest a while and the master 
 worked on. Here and there he touched it and his hands 
 seemed as if the mystery of the eternal was weaving a 
 
 8 
 
figure, making it supremely wonderful. At last he stopped 
 his work and, turning unto you, he said : "Whither hast 
 thou been? Egypt hast missed thee. And we nave 
 spoken of thee many times. What is it that hath claimed 
 thee?" And then thou didst say: "Knowest thou not 
 that I have been about my Father's business? The Egypt 
 that must hold a place hath need of great foundations, 
 and from my Universe I must bring that which shall es- 
 tablish what the Father hath asked of me." "What, saith 
 thou," I said, unto thee, "what great consciousness must 
 thou place?" And then thou didst tell us of a new planet 
 within which they saith Egypt must find a place. Into 
 it must come from out of the Holy Places many things. 
 From the height must we draw, as it were, the greatness 
 that shall form a place within it." Three times, thou 
 didst tell us, shall Egypt find a place within this planet. 
 The master who had molded looked upon thee and said : 
 "Truly the Father giveth thee more to do than any of 
 us. Where is this place? How shall I find it? Who is 
 it that hath called forth such a creation that our Egypt 
 shall find a place within it?" Even now, I, Marcus, hear 
 within the movements of our old Egypt a consciousness 
 lifting itself and mingling with our thought. The mas- 
 ter said: "Shall it be great?" And thou didst answer: 
 "Yes, it shall be great, for the Father saith it must live 
 ages and ages; portions of it must be placed here and 
 there and everywhere." 
 
 Then thou didst tell us of its creation. Thou didst tell 
 us of all that would surround it. And then we talked 
 together, taking from out of the knowledge of Egypt 
 That Was that the Egypt of To Be should be likened unto 
 it. Once more the master uncovered his block of marble. 
 "I will hasten," he said, "lest I be not ready to go with 
 thee when thou shalt be called upon to go hither, and I 
 wouldst that this should be finished." Again the hands 
 
 9 
 
that wove the clear pattern worked with the marble. 
 Strangely sweet was the form and the draperies that he 
 clothed it with that fell like soft veils around it. Looking 
 forth thru the archways I saw many a radiant picture of 
 our Egypt That Was; its greatness and its grandeur — 
 and I wondered if we could translate it and place it upon 
 a planet. *" 
 
 The master finished all but the face of his figure, and 
 then he seemed to hesitate. "Listen," he said, "I feel 
 as if there was a call, as if from; out of the greatness of 
 Immensity there was a call, as if the thought was sweet, 
 sweet, in its utterance, yet majestic and grand, com- 
 manding and kinglike. It is a strange thought I hear, I 
 thinketh me I have not heard it before." In silence we 
 waited and thru the silence drifted the sweetness of the 
 thought, and thou looked upon us and in the quietness, 
 thou didst say unto us: "Hast thou never heard it?" 
 "Listen, and I will tell it unto thee." "Let me say that 
 thou must understand — it was on the yesternight and I 
 knew within my Universe that I must go into the heights. 
 I went my way. The breath of the Infinite overshadowed 
 me. I looked into the heights and I saw a shining figure 
 clothed with the raiments of purity, truth and love. 
 Closer it came to me, and with a vision of sweetness 
 spake: 'Thou art building and placing the foundations 
 for My Father's place. Within it thou art working out a 
 plan for His knowledge to live within it.' I looked upon 
 Him and I knew He was the Son of the Father." What 
 was it that seemed to float around us as a breath, as thou 
 spake unto us? 
 
 What was it that seemed to fill the air with a silvery 
 radiance? I say unto thee, full and truly, for as thou 
 writest this and thinketh of it, thou shalt know how won- 
 drously beautiful it was. 
 
 A moment and He who was with us. He who claimeth 
 
 10 
 
the first thought for the earth, and thou didst say unto 
 us : "This is He, He who hath asked of His Father and 
 for whom we shall work and plan and serve; He who 
 hath asked that the Egypt That Was shall be placed as 
 a reflection within the earth." Low His voice as He 
 spake unto us: "Place thou,'* He said, "first a great 
 Truth within the earth; let it be strong and true in all 
 ways. They who hath served My Father knowest and 
 understandeth it. Then thou shalt bring from out of thy 
 Universe that which shall hold the foundations together 
 and they shall be the greater consciousness growing and 
 welding and holding themselves together until the very 
 end when all things that have been of Egypt shall be re- 
 turned unto her again. Then thou shalt lift above it the 
 wonderful structure that shall stand through three great 
 habitations ; yea, verily, even unto the fourth, and it shall 
 be that which shall hold for all men a place. And thou 
 shalt place it in pure form, let the Light that guideth and 
 leadeth us shine ever above it. Let that which giveth it 
 Light be of the Father; but its buildings shall be as I 
 giveth it unto it. Maketh it worthy of what thy thought 
 is that when I cometh unto it I shall find it ready." 
 
 The slumbering sweetness of a new day bathed the 
 earth in fullness and beauty, and thou and I stood in the 
 first great habitation, with all ready to place as we had 
 been told to do. Long hath it been and again the second 
 habitation called for us to still place a clearer reflection 
 of the Egypt That Was. Across the windswept condi- 
 tion floated a thought held by us of many Universes as 
 we gathered and protected the reflection of Egypt. And 
 the third habitation claimed again our service and our 
 work. It remaineth yet for no hand, no force, no element, 
 naught can do away with it. Its symbols are as fresh 
 as when the masters of many Universes placed them upon 
 the stones. Its Temples are as clear and as plain, and 
 
 11 
 
the sands have not swept over any portion of it. How 
 keepeth we it? What hath we that the power is given 
 unto us that it shall not pass into ruin? Hath thou not 
 heard? Hath thou not understood? Truly thou must 
 know when Infinite and Divinity giveth it all, it cannot 
 pass away. 
 
 So when it was ready that thou shouldst know, within 
 the physical, I came unto thee. 
 
 Let this be thy first lesson, as it is the last of the con- 
 sciousness of Egypt for thee until thou standest truly as 
 spirit within the City of Egypt That Was and when thou 
 lookest into the eternal heights thou shalt find the statue 
 of he who made it ready to fill its place ; and when thou 
 asketh who it is, I say unto thee, it was Imhotep. 
 
 The gorgeous colorings of the Egypt That Was so 
 full of its royal splendor is the fitting word of she whom 
 thou knowest cometh unto thee bringing thee many times 
 a quietness, a thought and a love that is greater than all 
 thou hast ever known. 
 
 Across the vision the spirit flits. Always and for- 
 ever the knowledge of the presence of Divinity — great as 
 a master, loving as a brother, royal as a king, yet always 
 gentle and sweet, and the breath of Egypt That Was 
 floats upward and onward into the presence of the In- 
 finite filled full of our worship and our service. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSW^ERS 
 
 Q. Why were the lessons given that way? Could they not 
 have been given in order? 
 
 A. No, because I had to gather together from out of the 
 different ages and place them when I procured them for myself. 
 
 If you will read them as I have directed you, you will find 
 they are perfect in the placing. 
 
 12 
 
Q. All I have gotten now, can go in one Book? 
 A. Yes, Sir. 
 
 This that I have given you tonight may be called the 
 Preface. 
 
 Q. What shall I call this Book? 
 
 A. The Egypt That Was. 
 
 Three times Marcus changed his robe. The first time I 
 (Mrs. L.) saw him he stood like a workman, wore a short 
 jacket. Then he changed his clothing and was dressed as an 
 Egyptian. And then when he changed his robe the last time 
 it was white with purple and the silver symbols in it. Marcus, 
 says: "I wanted to take you thru three great conditions — one 
 as he who buildeth and worketh; one as he holdeth the sym- 
 bols of knowledge; and one who serves He who is the King 
 and the Master of the Silver Brotherhood."

LESSON I 
 
 MARCUS— January 3, 1918 
 
 In the first great century before the beginning of the 
 First Pharaoh, you and I were called to stand within the 
 great consciousness of the Father's holy thought. Let 
 me tell it unto you as it was. And no shadow fell twixt 
 thee and me, and the great, wondrous Pharaoh, he who 
 held within the Atlanteans a place and carried with him 
 the gracious Law, stopped within our Universe and he 
 took from out of that which had formed the building of 
 many a wondrous temple, that which thou and I must 
 gather together. Holy, indeed, was his presence. And 
 when thou hast taken and gathered together the Law 
 which is for you and me, within which are many meas- 
 urements and out of which the great Israelitish nation 
 produced what was afterwards known as the Book of 
 Deuteronomy. Very gracious was his presence and he 
 spake with us and he gave us the great mathematical 
 knowledge for earth. He said : "Thou shalt only measure 
 it by the four corners of the earth, for in thy measure- 
 ment thou shalt find that thou hast left room enough 
 for all the gracious presence that may be called from 
 the mighty hosts." Then he took three stones and laid 
 them side by side and he said unto you: "Thou sh.ilt 
 go with me, for thou shalt know that two spiritual 
 Pharoahs must be with the great and wondrous condition 
 of the earth before it is called and placed in condensed 
 form." 
 
 14 
 
The other Pharaoh was one of the great Udanic Race. 
 He, it was, who carried, as it were, the fulfillment of the 
 Law. 
 
 All this thou must know is within spirit. 
 
 And we went and we stood where we could see. 
 Mighty were the hosts that gathered within the four 
 corners of the earth. ^ And again he said unto us : "Thou 
 must hold the calculation correct, for thou must not only 
 measure, but thou must make the measurement so per- 
 fect that in the great spheres which the Father will create, 
 there shall be not even the fraction of a cubit that does 
 not join with all cubits." And he who was with him 
 took within his hand a glass and within the glass was 
 a six-pointed needle, and he said: "Four points of the 
 needle shall point to the corners of the earth, but two 
 points of the needle shall point to the spheres and to the 
 orbit world."* 
 
 Thou didst not question, neither did I. Then we saw 
 that the Father's creation held a blue light, and the sec- 
 ond Pharaoh took from out the wonderful atmosphere 
 and molded within his hand, the beautiful, blue stone — 
 the color thereof holds even unto this day within the 
 archives where the sand hath blown over it and the ages 
 have swept with a mighty hand across the face of it, but 
 it still holds the blue which the second Pharaoh molded 
 out of the pure atmosphere of God. Once more he 
 stooped and from out of the matter portion of earth he 
 took some clay and he gave it unto you and he said: 
 
 ♦What is Orbit World? 
 
 That which holds within it the laws that control all things 
 within the orbit of the earth, or as you would say, it is the aura 
 of all great bodies within the earth's orbit that holds and pro- 
 tects them by the law within it. It holds the etheric fluid that is 
 used by planetary spirit and is their sustenance. 
 
 15 
 
"And thou shalt mold it" — and as thou didst mold it, 
 there were two colors within it — one was red and the 
 other was yellow — and he said: "And thou shalt have 
 a consciousness with us and thou shalt have a conscious- 
 ness when the race shall be red and again thou shalt have 
 a consciousness when the race shall be yellow."* And he 
 took the two stones in his hand. Then the first Pharoah 
 took from out the earth and molded in his hands the clay 
 and it was black, and he said : **I give unto this the Law, 
 for it is the earth and the earth shall move many thou- 
 sands of years before within it will be a Pure Law." Unto 
 you (Mr. G.) that Law shall be unknown till thou know- 
 est and be within the pure land of the spirit. And he 
 handed you what he had molded and it was like unto a 
 stone and Pharaoh had the three stones, but within them 
 were the four colors. And he said unto me, Marcus: 
 "Thou shalt plant four of them in the four corners of the 
 earth and it shall be that thou hast builded well."t And 
 he took the black stone and he took the red stone and 
 he took the yellow stone and he divided them and placed 
 them within the four corners of the earth. But the blue 
 stone he left for thee. 
 
 Then they went their way, and I also ; but thou didst 
 go unto the place which is known as Zaphata and there 
 thou didst know those were mighty as spirit, greater 
 than earth hath ever known, and within thy hand thou 
 didst carry the blue stone, and when thou didst stand 
 
 ♦Who were the Red and Yellow Races? 
 
 The first one was the Atlanteans (red) and the yellow ones 
 were the Udans (Chinese). That is only a form of expressing 
 this separateness of the races for spirit. 
 
 fThe four colors Marcus planted in the four corners of the 
 Earth, does that symbolize the four habitations of earth? 
 Yes. 
 
 16 
 
in the midst of them, thou didst show them the stone, 
 and they said unto thee: "Stranger, thou cometh from 
 the Seventh Universe, knowest thou not that our Tem- 
 ple waiteth that thou shalt place v^ithin it the blue stone 
 which is to us the Almighty — Almighty AUathami, which 
 shall be for us undisturbed as long as the Father is?" 
 And thou didst take with thee the blue stone and thou 
 didst say unto them: ''Bring unto me a white stone" 
 and thou didst take it and lay it where they wished that 
 thou shouldst, and thou didst lay upon it the blue stone ; 
 and when it had lain there, thou lifted it and upon tue 
 face of the stone was the symbol of Almighty God. And 
 thou didst call upon us who were the masters of the 
 Seventh Universe, and we came unto thee and there 
 were six of us. And we stood around the stone and we 
 lifted that which seemeth the measurements by cubits, 
 and then when we had measured it, we placed upon it six 
 symbols of the Universe of the Seventh, and in the 
 placing we placed the Purity of the Thought that belongs 
 to our Brotherhood. 
 
 This belongeth in the spirit. 
 
 I cannot say unto you that it was one thousand or two 
 thousand or more time, for with the passing of time with 
 spirit it is like the flitting of the sunlight across the 
 moment of day. But I know that thou saith unto me: 
 "I will go to earth, for knowest thou not that the third 
 Pharaoh rules in old Egypt alone?" And thou didst take 
 upon thee an etheric body and it was likened unto those 
 who dwelt within Egypt. And thou didst take for thy 
 royal trappings the stripes of blue and red and yellow 
 and black; and thou wert counted among the Nobles of 
 the Seventh Race of Egypt. No man asked of thee 
 whither thou didst come, neither didst they question thee 
 as to who were thy people, for they knew that thou must 
 be of a royal house or thou couldst not have had what 
 
 17 
 
thou didst. And they spake unto thee, they who served 
 the King, and they said: "Art thou a magi of the far 
 East?" And thou didst answer them and say: ''Ah, 
 farther than where the waters roll and if thou countest 
 thou wilt find it where the sun sets and it shall be West 
 instead of East." But they laughed at thee and they 
 said : "So speaketh all the magi for they have the Law 
 and the Knowledge, while thou hast more than any as 
 yet, for did not the King Pharaoh send unto thee and 
 did he not give thee the many chains of gold and copper 
 that thou wearest around thy neck?" And one day when 
 thou didst go unto the great palace of the Pharoah he 
 said unto thee : "Surely thou didst know that I needed 
 thee — but where is he who stood with thee when the 
 second Pharaoh placed the stones — and I would ask 
 thee, for I needeth them." Then thou didst say unto 
 him : "I will send for him who cometh from my Cycle." 
 He said : "Say unto him to bring unto me the stones that 
 are likened unto those which were given unto Pharaoh 
 the Second." And he showed thee the many buildings 
 with their wondrous carvings and their heights, greater 
 than the earth giveth a history of, and from top to bot- 
 tom were they carved. Sonie of them were of pure 
 white marble and some of them were of ivory. Some 
 were of porphery and some were of the green jade. Over 
 to the east of this great building had he placed five pil- 
 lars of lapis lazuli. But when he spake unto thee thou 
 didst say unto him: "Pharaoh, knowest thou that thy 
 lapis lazuli hath not within it the Purity of Thought, for 
 thou canst not trace the golden threads within it?" He 
 said : "When thou cometh again bring thou thy comrade 
 and I will send unto thee the royal robes of my scribe, 
 for I wouldst that my nation should know that it hath 
 need of one." "Lookest thou upon the pillars, seeth thou 
 that they have carved them but they have written no 
 
 18 
 
words and I wouldst that the world and the great earth 
 within which I have planted this, shall have the spirit 
 of the word within it, for I have come from that which 
 held the great Spirit of the Law." And thou didst go 
 thy way and thou didst enter into thine own place and 
 thou didst say unto those who waited for thee : "I give 
 audience this day unto no mjan save he who shall come 
 from the great Temple of the Pharaoh and his name thou 
 shalt know when he giveth it unto thee as 'Imhotep/ " 
 And thou didst go into thy inner room and thou didst 
 take within thy hand the circle that the mark upon it is 
 likened unto the old Zodiac of the Atlanteans. And thou 
 didst lay it upon a great, black tablet (table) ana wnen 
 the light of the sun fell upon its center, thou didst know 
 that thou hadst thy answer and that I, Marcus, would 
 be with thee ere the light fell upon it once more. 
 
 Then thou didst go into the outer Court and while 
 thou didst wait, there came unto thee the Chief High 
 Priest of the Temple of the Pharaoh and he said unto 
 thee: "I am Imhotep and I come unto thee that thou 
 mayst know that I am ready to fulfill thy mission." And 
 he laughed and he said unto thee: "Surely thou know- 
 est that I have come with an etheric body, as thou hast, 
 and Pharaoh knowest me not as Imhotep, but he hath 
 given me charge over the carvings of the pillars. But 
 thou knowest I cannot give thee the words of the Law. 
 But when thou waitest for the coming of he who shall 
 be the scribe, then wilt thou know and understand that 
 I served the Pharaoh because he belongeth unto those 
 who are of our Universe." 
 
 Around and about within the court yard white doves 
 circled and the whirr of their wings mingled with the 
 splash of many waters. The quiet serving man brought 
 the iced drinks and the cooled fruits and ye did eat of 
 them that thou shouldst take a closer form around thy 
 
 19 
 
body for thou now must enter into a contact with ma- 
 terial conditions.* 
 
 Very silently did the hours of earth pass for you and 
 Imhotep. You spake of the great conditions when first 
 as formless spirit thou didst wait the knowledge of thy 
 Father. To thee it came with that which gave thee the 
 power of being of service, even unto the greater days. 
 To Imhotep it came as the knowledge that he should first 
 seek a place within earth. Still he knew as he spake with 
 thee, that spirit is not restricted in its consciousness of 
 earth. He spake of those who waited within the con- 
 fines of the great condition to watch that which should 
 follow, and then thou didst say unto him : "Imhotep, in 
 all thy great conditions, hast thou found aught that hold- 
 eth within it an earth like unto this?" And he answered 
 thee: "Nay, not so, but thou knowest that there must 
 be those who follow me that shall gather together a 
 knowledge of many things. And when I seek to reign 
 in Egypt it shall be that I seek to hold my spirit within 
 physical consciousness that it may know the full mean- 
 ing of what earth really is." The hours of the day closed 
 around you, the low notes of a night bird calling to its 
 n^te drifted in thru the leafy trees that grew outside 
 your dwelling place, here and there the soft footfall of 
 those who served broke the quiet silence. Once you went 
 to where the water fell in a soft splash in a marble basin, 
 you dipped your hands within it and cooled them, as it 
 were, for you felt the pressure of the physical influence 
 that came to your etheric body. Imhotep came and stood 
 beside you and he said : "Dost thou miss thy place within 
 the Seventh Universe?" And across the low vibrant 
 tones with which he spake, there was more than a ques- 
 
 *See end of lesson for answer to some questions that were 
 asked at this point. 
 
 20 
 
tion. Turning, you said unto him : "Yea, verily, but we 
 must know so that when we place within the stones the 
 symbols they must have within them a deeper thought, 
 a greater knowledge and a purer love, that it may last 
 ages upon ages, last until all knowledge of either Egypt 
 or its people has passed away." 
 
 Ere the sunlight of another day fell, Imhotep had 
 gone his way to serve within the palace of the Pharaoh. 
 Was he called ''Imhotep ?" Nay, he was called "Quais," 
 and they only knew him as one who served the King. 
 And then I came unto thee and I said unto thee : *'And 
 what is it that we shall do?" And thou saith: **Go thou 
 and bring together the knowledge of the stones that lyeth 
 within the four corners of the earth." Then he said unto 
 thee : "Thou knowest that there are only the three colors. 
 What shall I do? — have only those?" And thou saith 
 unto him : "I have with me that which, is the blue stone 
 — gather thou the others together." And I went my way 
 and from the north and the south and the east and the 
 west, did I bring unto thee the colors that thou didst 
 ask and the stones thereof. Then thou didst go unto 
 Pharaoh the Third, according to the spirit, and Marcus 
 clothed himself in the royal robes of the scribe and he 
 taketh with him a tablet of pure m/arble, and when thou 
 didst come and had thine audience with the King, thou 
 didst say unto him: "I have done as thou saith." He 
 said: "It is well. What shall my scribe write first? Unto 
 thee do I give, this day, the right." And thou didst 
 turn and say unto me: "Write these words — 'THERE 
 IS NONE GREATER THAN THE FATHER.^ " And 
 Pharaoh said: "It is well written. Place thou the first 
 symbol of Egypt and it shall be a bird and it shall have 
 a crown upon its head and there shall be many feathers 
 upon it." And even unto this day thou knowest that it is 
 one of the symbols of Egypt. "And the bird shall be 
 
 21 
 
the message, the crown shall be obedience to the Father, 
 but the feathers shall be all of those who shall be called 
 * Egyptians' ". 
 
 Then I said unto the King : "O, great King of Egypt, 
 which is known as the Pharaoh, what shall the scribe 
 say with regard to the talons of the bird?" And the 
 King saith : "And it shall be this : 'That all nations shall 
 be gathered together, gathered by the greater need that 
 shall be for them when they have no knowledge of the 
 Father/ " And then when thou wert ready and I had 
 written it according as it should be, Pharaoh called unto 
 seven men of his household. Three of them were of 
 the High Priests and three of them were his Chief Men 
 and one of them was he whom thou knowest as Imhotep, 
 but the King called him by the name that he gave unto 
 thee. And they took with them a small instrument about 
 the size of your hand and it was made of gold, beaten 
 down until it was smooth, and they took with them the 
 sand and they mixed with it a red clay and some water, 
 and when thou had taken with thee the scribe, which 
 was myself, we laid the stones that I had brought, and 
 there was the red one and the yellow one and the black 
 one. And when the King said unto thee: "There are 
 but three stones" thou didst take the blue one and thou 
 didst fit it together, and the King knew that thou hadst 
 built within Old Egypt the Basic Law of the Father, 
 which gave unto four races the knowledge that the First 
 Pharaoh gave unto thee and unto me, when we stood and 
 looked upon what the Father had created. 
 
 What didst thou do when the stones were laid? Thou 
 didst measure them, and on one side were three cubits, 
 on the other side were three cubits, and the four sides 
 were equal, and thou didst think within thyself — Twelve 
 times shall the great Law be. Twelve times shall the 
 Universes move within the Thought of the Father. 
 
 22 
 
Twelve shall be the numbering of the Tribes, and 
 Twelve shall be the Disciples of the Son of God. What 
 thinketh thou? Knoweth thou aught of what the sym- 
 bols holdeth? Thinketh thou aught of the measurement? 
 Thinketh thou of the colors thou hast placed? And as 
 thou thinketh, knowest thou even now, that the nations 
 of the earth — the red, the yellow and the black — holdeth 
 a spiritual knowledge that the blue stone formed the 
 key of. 
 
 I say unto thee : Why seeketh thou within still water 
 for the knowledge that floweth from the great Fountain- 
 head? Rather wouldst thou turn thy face toward that 
 which is greater and the consciousness of thy spirit can 
 keep thee where thou wouldst go. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. Marcus, how is this done? 
 
 A. An etheric body, if it wishes to handle physical things 
 and material things, can utilize the atoms within the atmosphere 
 and for a certain length of time utilize that around the etheric 
 body, and move material things with the strength of it; can 
 utilize forces and mingle with human beings closer. 
 
 Q. What was there, in the taking of the iced drinks and 
 the cooled fruits that produced this? 
 
 A. In the taking, the spirit of both knew th?* they break 
 bread together in His Name. And it was the bond of thought 
 that existed, even unto this day, among those who are true to 
 their spirit. 
 
 Q. In those great conditions, was it usual for spirit to 
 use an etheric body? 
 
 A. Yes, it was not until about the 5th century before the 
 coming of the Master that spirit laid aside the use of etheric 
 bodies. 
 
 23 
 
Q. Will you tell us why they did it? 
 
 A. One reason was, that they found that matter was 
 forcing itself too close into physical bodies; or in other words, 
 it was working too rapidly up to the given point of the coming 
 of the Divine Master, so they quit using etheric bodies so much, 
 although there were those among the Disciples who used them. 
 There were many masters of the far East who used them; and 
 those who were the Wise men used them; and it was later in 
 the great period when the battle of Bonaparte was fought upon 
 the same ground that at present is being waged warfare, that 
 many used etheric bodies. But the century that is opening out 
 will find many master spirits using etheric bodies. 
 
 Q. Will they become plain enough for ordinary people to 
 see them? 
 
 A. No, not any more than the untrained eye of those who 
 will not see, those who submit only the grosser things to their 
 view; but they who are sensitized watch and see all things. 
 
 Q. Marcus, what was your name when you were a Scribe? 
 
 A. They called me Efalenthia, which means, just like you 
 would say today if you were speaking of the largest animal — 
 the elephant — it was the abbreviation, because they marked the 
 moving of great things. And the King called me the Mover 
 of great things. All knowledge I would place would move the 
 greater conditions. 
 
 Q. How did you place the knowledge? Upon parchment? 
 
 A. No, I placed it upon an ivory tablet. They were pre- 
 pared and transferred later upon a composition closely resem- 
 bling bronze, but the most of it was placed upon stones. Some 
 of the stones were prepared for several years before they were 
 ready for the impressions. Most of them were very smooth. 
 The rough ones were left for the lower bases or under portions 
 of great buildings, and many of them even as far as 20 and 30 
 feet under ground were all carved before they were placed 
 there. It is still intact so it can be read. 
 
 The most beautiful of ivory we had, of course, was destroyed 
 and if I should tell you of hundreds and thousands of tusks of 
 Elephants which abounded in great numbers, you would be sur- 
 prised. Their method of preparation was very nice and it was 
 nothing unusual to see a tower 50 or 100 feet high built of them, 
 
 24 
 
they were beautifully carved and you could not see where the 
 tusks were joined together, because of the beautiful carving. 
 We raised elephants just as you raise horses and cattle. We 
 used them very greatly. We had many white ones which be- 
 longed to the royal families, but there was one particular kind 
 that there were few of, and they were a creamy color with black 
 spots upon them — very rare — and used only by the King, They 
 were very large and very beautiful.

LESSON II 
 
 Form, Color, Light and Grandeur 
 
 MARCUS— February 7, 1918 
 
 Well, I will begin as I always do, that you may follow 
 me and understand the placing of all things. 
 
 Egypt was at the height of her greatness, everything 
 had been brought that there might be placed together for 
 all the glory of the Pharaoh had been intensified and 
 grandeur was everywhere. This condition was when 
 Pharaoh VIII held a place and once more the conscious- 
 ness of thy spirit must come in touch with Egypt. Every- 
 thing that thou hath a knowledge of must come again 
 to you that you may realize how great are all the things 
 that are created. 
 
 This time Imhotep followed closely with thee in all 
 things that thou didst do. Even yet, however, it was 
 needful for him to make a record of the great things that 
 they might be placed within, not only the reflected sphere, 
 but within the Temple of Egypt that shall some day be 
 finished wherein it is placed. 
 
 This time we had first to go into the great Color 
 Universe that we might know how great the possibil- 
 ities of making an impression upon the things of earth 
 that this record of Egypt should be held for ages. From 
 out of this Universe we brought with us a master. His 
 name was Maluchia. It meant to us, the Master of all 
 Color. And so we came to Egypt when seemingly Egypt 
 
 26 
 
far greater than it had ever 
 done was left for Imhotep to 
 .0 T ar of us took an etheric body, 
 vhom we went among, they 
 it we were not as other men. 
 •^ T le great Temples, visiting the 
 gs that were of Egypt. We 
 ►riests for they were the men 
 c lore of Egypt, 
 came to us from the King, 
 wise man and wonderful con- 
 far into the magic circle of the 
 [ a King but he held not the 
 own spirit. He had heard of 
 :hose to demand of us an audi- 
 s thou always art. And unto 
 of answering his invitation. I 
 lo came unto us and I spake 
 "O King, thou who art the 
 seekest thou of us? We are 
 strangers among thy people." 
 id then he answered : "Surely 
 otherhood of the Seventh Uni- 
 r hast not he who was the high 
 e Pharaoh marked thy coming 
 v^here the Seventh Universe is." 
 nd I answered him and said: 
 1. ^ P T ?reat indeed and we will come 
 and give thee an auaience, but it must not be within the 
 palace of the Pharaohs, for we cometh not into thy city 
 that we should either seek honor or place, but we come 
 that we may bring unto they who shall form a part in 
 the great future of Egypt, bring unto them a knowledge 
 that is great." In taking this unto thee there cometh to 
 me the thought fresh as it was at that time, though many

have been the things that have passed over the earth. It 
 was close onto the midnight hour and we four went alone 
 and passing into the great pyramid we were received by 
 those who attended upon the King, but when we entered 
 the great chamber there was no one present save the 
 King and two high priests. When we came Pharaoh 
 spake to us and gave unto us the signal that all they of 
 Egypt who belongeth unto the Brotherhood hath a 
 knowledge of. Think not strange as thou dost listen unto 
 me that in the past among they who dwell in Egypt that 
 they had no knowledge of all these things, for I say unto 
 you that they knew more than what has been known by 
 those of the West and they of the West have yet to learn 
 of many, many things. 
 
 Pharaoh was a man who was large of stature and 
 with keen dark eyes and swarthy skin and the long 
 braids of black hair with a high turban, as you would 
 speak of it, or head dress, added to his height. His gar- 
 ments were very rich and rare on this occasion, for every 
 strip of the yellow of the Egyptian trappings it was of 
 rich color, while the black and the red gleamed with many 
 silken threads. He had removed the outer garment and 
 stood clothed in pure white linen, as it is the custom 
 of all masters within the pyramid to wear no color unless 
 it be a head dress. His hands were long and tapering 
 and upon one of his fingers he wore the Seal of Egypt. 
 O, Seal of Egypt, it is that which hath closed the silent 
 lips of many and many an age. 
 
 I want you to know what it was like that you may re- 
 member and understand it as a symbol. 
 
 It was made in the form of a square cross, the stone 
 was an unfitted, unpolished, green stone, but in the cen- 
 ter, imbedded within it, was an emerald in the form of 
 a scarab. I saw it gleamj and glisten like a wonaerful 
 eye, and then I saw him who was with him, one of the 
 
 28 
 
high priests, come and speak unto him and say : "Pharaoh, 
 it is time for the silent prayer." The walls of the room 
 glowed like wondrous sunlight and Pharaoh knelt close 
 to where the Circle was to be, and we stood apart, even 
 we claimed not the right to kneel with the King of 
 Egypt. The sunlight on the walls began to grow dim as 
 if the quiet stillness was forcing a reply, and at least 
 the room was entirely dark. Pharaoh finished his prayer 
 and I wouldst that thou shouldst know in this day and 
 age what his prayer was : 
 
 "I, Pharaoh the King, call upon the God of Egypt, 
 and upon the gods of all forces and powers, that they 
 may bring unto me that which I demand. And may the 
 Gods of Egypt hold and place for us, as a people, more 
 grandeur, more power; and I, Pharaoh the King, say — 
 More TRUTH." 
 
 Quietly as if an unseen hand had swept for a moment 
 the stillness of the room, and then the magic circle began 
 to form. It was as if a soft glow was melting itself 
 within the darkness of the room. It was about three 
 feet wide, the light of it. The circumference was about 
 twenty feet. 
 
 We stood close to the southern side and after a little 
 while Pharaoh the King, with his two priests, came and 
 stood with us. Then it was that Imhotep spake unto 
 him. "Pharaoh," he said, "knowest thou that we come 
 from the great Universe of the Seventh?" And he took 
 from out his mantle a tablet of fine ivory, and he said: 
 "Pharaoh, I wouldst read unto thee a word from one 
 who was thine ancestor." Pharaoh said unto him: 
 "Bring thou me a message from the land of Souls?" 
 "Yea, verily," Imhotep said, "for they who have passed 
 into the land of Souls some of them waiteth even yet 
 
 29 
 
that they shall know the glory of our Father." "I wouldst 
 read unto thee, Pharaoh, a message : I, Pharaoh, sendeth 
 unto thee, who is King of Egypt, a word that shall be 
 unto thee worthy and that thou shalt use it with thy 
 counsellors." "Prepare," I say, "thyself." "The River 
 Nile will have no water for the coming harvest. I say 
 unto thee, for thy people, place thou for them great 
 storehouses of grain, for there will be need of it, and 
 place more than thou needest, for though it will not last 
 but the year, there shall be those who shall come unto 
 thee for grain, even in the far-off country." 
 
 The King of Egypt listened to the message, but as he 
 turned toward the magic Circle there was another ques- 
 tion, and he said : "But I wouldst that thou shouldst give 
 unto me from out of the Land of Souls some other 
 thought. The Gods have blessed me and Egypt is in the 
 height of her glory, but Pharaoh, the King of Egypt, hath 
 known no love, nor nothing given unto him." I saw thee 
 lift thy hand as if there should be a silence, and thou 
 didst speak unto him and say : "Pharaoh, King of Egypt, 
 knowest thou not the knowledge of spirit?" And as 
 thou didst speak unto him, the master from the Color 
 Universe lifted his hand above the magic ring and into 
 its heart glowing in every direction, fell the holy color; 
 and Pharaoh, King of Egypt, turning toward it, said: 
 "Surely this is greater than I have ever seen. Egypt hath 
 many colors and our mantles and all things that we make 
 are rich and vivid with the thought we place within them. 
 Who art thou that bringest this that I may see?" But 
 the master answered him not, and thou silently, waited a 
 moment, and then said thou unto Pharaoh: "Pharaoh, 
 knowest thou not that there shall be a time when all 
 Egypt shall not be save where the great walls have been, 
 but thou must leave upon them something that man shall 
 know that thou hast been." He looked, and across his 
 
 30 
 
face fell the thought that this master came to him that he 
 must have what had never been given unto him before. 
 "Imhotep," he said, "what shall I do? Thou surely hast 
 it written as thou hast the other." Imhotep said : "Pha- 
 raoh, we brought unto thee a master, he shall place upon 
 the stones and upon the great court yards and the pillars, 
 this holy light, this holy color, and it shall cover all thy 
 colors, and nothing shall remove them.* They shall last 
 for ages and ages and when the earth seeketh a greater 
 knowledge, they shall be there to tell of all the things that 
 Egypt did.*' 
 
 The light of the magic circle glowed and gleamed and 
 then as the melodies of all forces seemed to blend to- 
 gether, there stood within the Circle the Pharaoh that had 
 been the first. How wondrously grand he was, and how 
 strong was the tie that was between us ! He spake not, 
 the silent message came unto us without words. 
 
 Afterward we went many times unto the King and 
 the master whom we had brought with us, placed for him 
 the knowledge of the holy color. And thou who knowest 
 anything of Egypt knowest that it is there, those won- 
 drous colors, even though the winds of the desert and 
 the sands have blown over it for ages. 
 
 Once more as across the great windswept condition 
 of time, thou waitest to know the meaning of Egypt. I 
 say unto thee, this time thou didst go with Heldos. 
 Within a city of Egypt there was a quaint old building ; in 
 it had lived for ages and ages they who were known as 
 Greeks. They mingled with those of Egypt, but their 
 women and their men were always Greek. Unto them 
 came those of Egypt who required not perfect form pro- 
 duced as far as culture or carving were concerned. No 
 
 ♦Is this the protection? 
 Yes. 
 
 31 
 
one had asked from whence they came in the beginning, 
 and no one questioned, for they had been there a long 
 time. Into the first room as you entered, you would find 
 many works in the old pottery of Egypt ; here and there 
 would be a wonderful pillar wrought with leaves and 
 wondrous design hiding a small fountain with its trailing 
 vines and leaves carved upon the wonderful porphyry of 
 Egrypt. How quaint they were, and yet how wondrously 
 beautiful. As you entered only one person was there, 
 and she was a woman. Her long hair fell in two long 
 braids far down toward her feet ; it was a wondrous color, 
 dark with the gleam of red within it, showing plainly 
 above the fair face, for Egypt had few who were fair. 
 Heldos spoke to her and said: "We have come to see 
 what you can do for us." And she invited you into the 
 work-room. Back of it was a large room entirely made 
 of crystal, which, as you know, was used in Egypt instead 
 of glass. Many were the wonderful works of art within 
 it; even from far-off Italy had been sent to Egypt the 
 wondrous marble upon which this woman had carved and 
 formed. Heldos, taking her mantle from around her, laid 
 it aside and then the woman said to her: "Thou hast 
 come to me because I have need of thee." How grand 
 and sweet the light fell over all things. Outside the burn- 
 ing sun of Egypt shone, but within this quiet place it was 
 mellowed and the quartz shone forth with many color- 
 ings falling upon the forms everywhere. Heldos did not 
 seem to feel or think of this answer in a strange way, for 
 she said : "Certainly, my child, I am ready for what thou 
 hast for me to do." She took her into a small room and 
 there she strapped upon her form that which she wished 
 for her to have. It was a long, loose robe of thin mate- 
 rial which showed the form perfectly thru its folds. She 
 had removed the sandals from her feet and the feet were 
 bare. She had loosened the hair; it fell like a wondrous 
 
 32 
 
shower to the floor. She asked her would she stand a 
 moment until she had arranged what she would use. 
 Back of her fell the royal curtain of the great House of 
 Egypt, and crouching at her feet was a white leopard 
 with only here and there a tawny spot upon its fur. 
 Whence had it come? It belonged there and was a pet 
 of the woman. She rolled her piece of rough marble up 
 to the point where she required to work upon and then 
 she placed Heldos. Thou hast told me of it many times. 
 Over and above the hair was a circlet of fine gold and in 
 the front of it were three brilliant stars. The woman 
 worked rapidly as if she must needs hurry. How long 
 was it? Thou didst not count the hours, thou wert busy 
 watching. The woman worked on. The great rough 
 piece of marble formed itself gradually and when the 
 light was almost gone, she said to Heldos : "Wouldst 
 thou come again? Come thou to me when the twilight 
 light of the morrow is." And again Heldos and thou 
 didst go and when it was finished, it was placed within 
 the great Temple of Hathor, and Egypt had a perfect 
 form.* 
 
 Marcus wears a rough linen (brown) robe, which has 
 the skirt of the Roman and the wrappings of the Roman. 
 On his head is a wreath of brown leaves. Why do you 
 bring this? Because I have to tell and bring together the 
 thought that belongeth only to those who understand 
 both poetry and art. Write, he says, lest I should not

hold long enough that thou shouldst know how perfect 
 it is as I bring it unto thee. 
 
 How long did Egypt wait for light? Long enough 
 that there should be brought from out of the heights the 
 knowledge that penetrates and holds itself ready for a 
 race that can place knowledge in the highest degree pos- 
 sible for earth. 
 
 Unity and the knowledge of greater things had swept 
 over the creations of the Father. One by one had the 
 Brotherhoods formed themselves that the link might be 
 complete. The great master of the Holy Places stood 
 waiting as if for a message. The soft glow of the eternal 
 harmonies had mingled with all things and we of the 
 Brotherhood of the Seventh Universe knew that we were 
 to fulfill our part whatever it might be — the command 
 given. We watched and waited and as the cloud of holy 
 breath separated, there came forth a light, brilliant, yet 
 soft, vitalizing, yet pure. The holy master said : "They 
 of the Seventh Universe must carry this to earth for there 
 will be a race whose first king shall be of spirit and whose 
 last king shall hold the knowledge of silence. The seal 
 was given unto us wherein was placed the light, and we 
 — Imhotep and you and I — were given the right to bring 
 it to the earth. Earth was not in darkness, neither was it 
 surrounded by shadows, and yet we brought this which 
 glowed and burned within the casket and we knew that it 
 was holy. Unto he who was the spirit and the first King 
 of Egypt, represents as a symbol the Spirit of Knowledge, 
 unto him we gave this : he placed it within the earth and 
 it hath remained there. Once in a while there cometh 
 one in some age who saith : "I have found that which is 
 the pure light" and then it cannot be used. And again 
 the ages rolled on. Thou and I knew what it was — it 
 was the vitality of human life. But we knew that the 
 Father when He gave it unto us, required of the holy 
 
 34 
 
master that we say unto the King: "As thou tellest in 
 spirit, O King, thou must place this within the earth, for 
 human life must not be renewed, human life must be MY 
 gift in the future." So we brought light unto Egypt, but 
 it remaineth as yet within the earth, for no man knoweth 
 where it is.* 
 
 I will now say unto thee for yet a little while some- 
 thing that will belong to this. I have said unto thee I 
 would tell thee of the grandeur of Egypt. 
 
 The long, low slanting rays of the sun fell over the 
 desert sands, from every direction came long trains oi 
 camels bearing their burden toward the city of the great 
 King, for had it not gone forth into every land, that the 
 King was to place a Queen upon the throne. He was 
 one of the Pharaohs of the last condition. And she who 
 was to rule with him was his sister. Very great, indeed, 
 was the demand made upon every country, all the richest 
 stuffs, the finest jewels, the greatest quantities of gold 
 and silver for months had they been preparing and the 
 trains of camels came from every direction. 
 
 In a wondrous room whose hangings were most beau- 
 tiful a man and a woman stood. They were very much 
 alike, save that she was the taller of the two. She spake 
 to him in a low quiet voice in the language of Egypt. 
 vShe said : "Surely thou dost not want me to be a queen, 
 thou knowest I love another man and thou art my brother. 
 Thou knowest I have pledged my troth to him. Why 
 wouldst thou have me for a queen?" "Requig," he said, 
 and his voice was even sweeter than her own, "knowest 
 thou not that the Gods have said that I die ere the third 
 hour of the great rule commences?" She laughed a little 
 
 *Is this the light that the Holy Master will use in bringing 
 
 peace 
 
 Yes.

and answered him not. Once more he spake : "Requig, 
 who but thou could rule Egypt, and when I am gone 
 knowest thou not that thou canst choose whom thou dost 
 please to choose? But ere I go, I wouldst that he who 
 is my heir shall rule when thou hast finished thy reign." 
 She stepped to where one of the curtains concealed a seat, 
 and taking from off the seat a small copper tube that had 
 been used to roll a manuscript around, she broke it in 
 twain, and laughing, she said : "Surely thou art not 
 feeling that this is true? Thou canst reign and reign long 
 and wisely. Go choose thou the Seti ; of all his daughters 
 there is none greater than she he has named for himself. 
 Knowest thou that he has no son and he would be glad, 
 indeed, if thou shouldst take his daughter." "Requig, 
 knowest thou not that she is cold, she hath no gentleness 
 for Egypt; surely thou knowest my word and tomorrow 
 thou must be called the Queen of Egypt." 
 
 Over her face swept a look of pain and she said : "My 
 brother, surely thou shouldst not do this. As far back 
 as our people are concerned, knowest thou not they have 
 never done this thing that thou saith that thou wilt do ?" 
 The morning came and all the city was awake with 
 the glory of the day. From every direction came they 
 who wore huge garlands of flowers, all the camels were 
 burdened, it seemed as if the wealth of the great foliage 
 kingdom had burst forth ; even the streets were laid with 
 flowers. Outside the gates of the city great crowds were 
 coming in. The sound of the low piping reed was heard 
 everywhere, and the plaintive music of voices seemed like 
 a wondrous melody of thought. At last the great Temple 
 gates were opened and the sound of . Egypt's voices 
 blended with the voices outside. The Temple was filled 
 full, the steps were filled and the streets were filled, and 
 over it all fell still the plaintive notes of the reed music. 
 Within the Temple the great burning incense burned with 
 
 36 
 
a smothering smoke, and the perfume of the flowers min- 
 gled with it all; and over the High Altar was thrown a 
 thin, white, silken veil ; at the bottom of it was a heavy- 
 trimming of silver. All around and about it was spread 
 white heavy fur rugs, deadening the sound of those who 
 were standing there. Eighteen priests with the great 
 high tower or cope of silver upon their heads, passed and 
 formed a circle — back of the altar. Eighteen more with 
 the signets of the King of Egypt formed the other half 
 circle outside at the foot of the altar. Twenty-one maid- 
 ens in silver and white clustered at the foot of it; and 
 last of all came the King and his sister. The low, sweet 
 tones of the piping grew shriller and shriller, and the 
 voice of the High Priest chanted forth the low chant that 
 seemed to fill all the Temple. They knelt, those two, 
 before the Altar, and the veil of the altar fell in its shim- 
 mering folds, revealing what was beneath it. At the top 
 was the wondrous light and form and the wondrous eye 
 that belongeth unto the House of Egypt. It glowed and 
 burned and seemed to penetrate as its gaze fell every- 
 where. At the bottom of it, moving rapidly, as if here 
 and there it had been touched and illumined, flashed back 
 and forth the vivid letterings in Egypt : *T proclaim thee 
 Queen." They knelt there a long time, those two, until 
 all the rest had left the Temple, and then he led her forth, 
 and upon the steps of the great Temple he proclaimed her 
 Queen of Egypt. Everywhere the beauty and the grand- 
 eur and the feasting were beyond all that earth had ever 
 held before. And when the night shadows fell he came 
 and spoke to her before they were to go in to the feast. 
 "Requig,*' he said, "when thy son is born unto thee thou 
 shalt search for a name and I would say unto thee that 
 thou shalt call him Tmhotep' in memory of Imhotep the 
 Great.'' 
 
 And unto Egypt was given the grandeur of a new day.

LESSON III 
 
 A Knowledge of Egypt, beginning at the great 
 Pyramid, which represents the Father 
 
 MARCUS— December 6, 1917 
 
 Thou knoweth we came from the Seventh Universe 
 and thou knoweth we held a knowledge within the cre- 
 ative cycle from whence we came, and we stood within 
 the great conditions when immensity of form first held its 
 place within the earth. And thou didst come with Imho- 
 tep the Great, and thou didst stand: and each of us 
 washed our feet within the great movement of the waters 
 of earth. Thou and I were spirit, and Imhotep took an 
 etheric body, and we went among that which was seek- 
 ing immense form to eventually become sufficient to re- 
 ceive infinite spirit close enough within it to do what 
 was needful. And in the great conditions where the 
 first knowledge was placed, we will call them Philistines, 
 because no other name hath been given them. And 
 Imhotep said: "If thou wilt go unto the Seventh Uni- 
 verse I will hold my place and I will lay the stones of 
 the foundation for that which shall worship the Father." 
 And he gathered together from out of Immensity the 
 knowledge of forces, and thou dost call it at this time 
 "electricity," while he gave no name unto it. And long 
 afterwards when thou didst come again, thou didst see 
 
 38 
 
that he had laid eighteen (18) stones, and he waited that 
 thou mightest come, that we three should lay three (3) 
 more stones, which made three sides of the Pyramid — 
 twenty-one — making the symbol of the mystic numbers. 
 
 Thou canst not understand only as I tell it unto thee, 
 for they who quarried the stone, were large, they would 
 make four men today. And they were strong, for they 
 had no separation to make. And they took the stones 
 from out the mountain and three (3) stones were dark 
 and four (4) stones were light, and the light stones 
 needed no quarrying, for the Father had placed them in 
 the beginning. And the three (3) dark stones were cut, 
 but they were cut with the forces, not with human hands. 
 And when they were ready to be placed they were moved 
 by the power that you moveth other things with, but 
 you hold it subject to the small conditions: while they 
 held it subject to the large condition. They could handle 
 it, but you cannot. 
 
 Then he waited four thousand (4000) years, and upon 
 the twenty-one (21) stones he placed twenty-one (21) 
 more, and he made three (3) tiers. Then he waited one 
 hundred (100) years, and from out of every Universe 
 came a master, and they brought with them a stone, and 
 when thou knoweth the numberings of the Universes, 
 thou wilt know the number of the stones within the great 
 Pyramid. And they finished it to the last point at the 
 top. 
 
 Then came he who was the Holy Master, and he said : 
 "It shall mark the movement of the North Star and no 
 man in no age of the earth shall be able to calculate like 
 unto it." 
 
 Then thou knoweth that your time of earth moved on. 
 Long, long it was. And Imhotep went into other places 
 and he lived and moved like unto as thou hast done. And 
 he had many experiences as thou hast had of earth, but 
 
 39 
 
he builded no more, but when the third habitation began 
 and from out of the residue that remaineth between the 
 two, there came they whose knowledge was equal to his 
 own. Then thou knoweth that once more within the 
 last predynastic condition of Egypt, not as thou knoweth 
 it, but as it was, Imhotep came once more, and thou didst 
 bring with thee one black stone from out of the Universe 
 of the Seventh, and upon it thou didst place the markings 
 of thy mastership and thou didst give it unto Imhotep 
 and it had seven comers, and he did place it and it was 
 known throughout all Egypt that there should be seven 
 pyramids built, and they took for their builder one who 
 came from out of that which had been left between the 
 second and third habitations, and he builded there seven 
 great pyramids, and they were built for those who are to 
 be known as thou knowest. One was to the Son — one 
 to the Holy Spirit — one to the God of the Universe — 
 one to the Most High God — one to the Holy Master — 
 and one to the great condition that will be. And they 
 were around and about the first one that had been 
 builded. And when thou thinkest thou shalt know that 
 each one took its point from the North Star, and thou 
 shalt know the meaning of the Master Star, for the first 
 one standeth close to the first Pyramid. (Do you mean 
 in close proximity ? No, to you it would be a large area, 
 but to us it is not large.) 
 
 Thinkest thou not that this is physical all of it ; there 
 is physical and there is spiritual, one within the other; 
 and remember, no man can make the calculation. 
 
 (We do not, physically, know of these pyramids to- 
 day?) No sir, because they are not there. There are 
 remnants of some and the remnants of the oldest one is 
 young by the side of the others. 
 
 (Those three that are in a row, do they belong to- 
 gether?) Yes sir, did I not tell you that three were 
 
 40 
 
dark and four were light? Three so we can see them — 
 that belongs to earth ? Yes sir. 
 
 And thou shalt know that as twenty-one marketh the 
 knowledge of the Mystic Brotherhood, there were, when 
 finally complete, twenty-one markings upon the stones 
 within the Pyramid ; but upon the four stones of the 
 Pyramid there were no markings. 
 
 Then thou didst seek out thy way and did come to 
 the old predynastic Egypt for thou wished to place a 
 knowledge of the symbols and even into the later knowl- 
 edge of Egypt hath come the markings of the cartouches 
 like unto the seven cornered stone that thou didst bring 
 from out the Seventh Universe. 
 
 I will continue from time to time giving you a close 
 and vivid description of many experiences. The begin- 
 ning of the record, who first made it, why it was placed 
 upon stones, why it was colored. Many incidents in 
 the lives of the ruling Kings that history does not 
 give. I will call them by names for you, that you may 
 be able to understand it. I will not place any dates, for 
 many times one incident will be connected closely with 
 the other, while there may be intervals of thousands of 
 years between others. I also will have to connect for 
 you very closely the experience of spirit, not connected 
 with earthly experiences, and this will form much of the 
 knowledge that you must place within the spiritual Tem- 
 ple. Particularly I wish you to know the beginning of 
 the Pharaohs. How many Imhoteps there were; what 
 they did, why warfare was begun ; who were the females 
 who had much to do with the ruling of their nations — 
 why they understood the knowledge of the soul. Why 
 they claimed the right to the Land of Souls. Each and 
 all of these must follow one after the other. 
 
 41 
 
Bring this with you that we may make it a perfect 
 history for you. 
 
 I also will carry it down for you to the last great con- 
 dition and form the corresponding symbol and the mean- 
 ing of the conditions then and the conditions now. I will 
 try and make it as plain as I can that should you have 
 occasion to have it placed before others, there will be no 
 misunderstanding, but it must be simple enough that all 
 will know my meaning. 
 
 Have I not told you that they who belonged to the 
 Brotherhood would from time to time, place for you the 
 knowledge of many things. Theodeous (Mr. Hare) forms 
 the link between the second and the third habitations, and 
 he was the master who laid the remaining stones for the 
 other pyramids. 
 
 Do you not know that I told you that the stone at 
 Constantinople was a black stone with the white mark- 
 ings? Was that black stone brought from the Seventh 
 Universe? Yes sir. There is an image of the Master 
 carved from black stone underneath the old Roman forum 
 at this time. 
 
 Who builded the Roman Temple at the place where 
 the Master was baptized ? I had much to do with it. It 
 was builded twelve years before He came to Jerusalem. 
 It was builded under the directions of Linnius Aquinous 
 (not the Linnius, the Governor). He belonged to the 
 old Quintal family. He discovered the River and wished 
 to build a Temple to Jupiter on this spot. I (Marcus) 
 builded all of the pillars, then I was called away into 
 another part that I might lay the foundation for the old 
 Temple far to the South. I did not see it after it was 
 finished. 
 
 This history of Egypt which I shall give you will take 
 twelve lessons (once a month). There must be other 
 things to lead up to the understanding of what I give — 
 
 42 
 
which will come in the intervening lessons. There must 
 be four nations into which we must go in order to make 
 this complete, and I will endeavor to place a knowledge 
 of them between these lessons, that this will be better 
 understood. 
 
 Does the Vatican hold a knowledge of this Temple 
 where the Divine Master was baptized? Yes. The rea- 
 son it has never been given was because Rome, as a 
 people at the time of the coming of the Master, was 
 ready to turn toward the knowledge of the One God, just 
 as the world today stands ready. Knowest thou? 
 
 43 
 
LESSON IV 
 
 MARCUS— June 6, 1918 
 
 I want to begin and take up for you the line of con- 
 nection between the Babylon of the second habitation and 
 the Egypt of the third. And I may put it in this way. 
 
 Within the Seventh Universe the masters felt as if the 
 message would come to them, so they made their prepa- 
 ration that they might fulfill it, for they knew it came 
 from He who giveth them the highest thought. Of the 
 number who gathered together there were nine, and 
 five were given the right to take unto the second habita- 
 tion the producing and putting together of the great city 
 that was to be known as Babylon. 
 
 Egypt of the third habitation held a Babylon that was 
 similar but not equal. Let me tell it in my way. 
 
 It was needful that it should be known, and among 
 they to whom it was to be given, was one who will be 
 known, as far as this history is concerned, as Henaman. 
 He gathered together the great forces that belonged in 
 all of the Seventh Universe and unto the second habita- 
 tion brought he that which produced the substance 
 whereby Babylon was to be built. Then the question 
 was brought forward among they of the Seventh Uni- 
 verse as to how far they would go in this work, and they 
 took from out of the knowledge of the Philistines and 
 placed it in form within the universe that is bounded by 
 the Belt of Orion on one side, the great land of the 
 
 44 
 
Philistines on the other and the North Star on the other. 
 In thy questioning thou hast never asked me the mean- 
 ing of the North Star to the Seventh Universe, and I v^ill 
 tell you it in this way. 
 
 For us of the Seventh Universe everything hath three 
 sides, which represent the triangle, or the law of obe- 
 dience. In this we took the Belt of Orion for one side ; 
 we took the North Star for the other, and we finished it 
 according to the knowledge, according to the knowledge 
 for the other side. This gave us the formation by which 
 and thru which the great land of Babylon was to be 
 divided and we went unto the great country and Hena- 
 man came with us for he was of the Philistines and he 
 said unto us: "And there shall be great form, first, 
 before it shall be divided."* And you took that point 
 which was toward the North Star, I took the other point, 
 and the other master of the Seventh Universe took the 
 other, and we shall give him the name of Philimon be- 
 cause he was plain and he gathered together the four 
 winds of the earth. f And when it was ready, to the 
 north the boundary line was of they who came and 
 brought in the races of the Atlanteans; and to the south 
 side came they who were of the races of the Chaldeans; 
 and to the east side they brought in the races of the 
 Dandoes;t and in the north they left it plain for the 
 great city to be builded and within it, this great city, 
 they placed that which afterward was the city within 
 
 *Did the land of the earth represent the land of the Philis- 
 tines before it was divided? 
 Yes. 
 
 tWhat are the four winds? 
 
 The four great forces that the 7th Universe gave the earth. 
 That holds for you the four unknown laws. 
 
 $And is the west left for the new race to come in? 
 Yes. 
 
 45 
 
Egypt — the great old city which was known as the first 
 Heliopolis. And we brought from out of the Seventh 
 Universe they who were master builders and they who 
 cut stone and they who could mold and carve, and when 
 all was complete, the races on the three sides came within 
 and dwelt there according to the law. And from among 
 they who were for the center, which was Egypt, they 
 chose a king, and his name was Therigahd. And he held 
 what was known as three reigns (reins) one for each side. 
 And then it came about toward the end of the second 
 habitation and there was a new king who reigned in the 
 place of the fathers that had been before him and very 
 mighty and great was this city of Babylon. And they 
 worshipped great images which they made, and fine was 
 the workmanship thereof. But at the beginning of the 
 last year of the reign of this king, according to the annals 
 given, there came unto him one day a tribe of people, 
 small in number, and they called themselves Jheusus 
 and they were uncivilized yet still disciplined and among 
 them was a woman.* And one said : "Go unto the king 
 and say unto this king that we come to destroy Babylon." 
 And the word was brought to the king of this strange 
 people, and the king said : "I know them not. Whither 
 hast they come?" And the one who brought him word 
 said: "It is well for thee, O king, that thou shouldst 
 see them." And you and I waited, for unto us was 
 given the care of this great city. And the king went 
 and gave audience unto they who came and they had 
 the woman with them, for she was their prophetess, and 
 they said unto the king, "We come to destroy thy city 
 and to scatter thy people away from the land." And 
 the king said unto them: "I cannot give you either the 
 
 ♦Did these uncivilized represent the Jesus principle? 
 Yet. 
 
 46 
 
city or the land." And they pushed the woman forward 
 and she spake unto the king in another tongue and you 
 and I came close to listen and she said unto the king: 
 "O king of Babylon, these people they carry long rods 
 and upon the rods is that which bringeth fire ; and they 
 also send rods that hath poison that causeth death, and 
 they have small bags into which they have pressed a 
 poison that is like smoke. But fear not, O king, I bring- 
 eth thee word that thou shalt not have battle with them." 
 And one of their number stepped forth, not knowing 
 what she had said, and thou didst say to the king: 
 "Remember that they of the Seventh Universe builded 
 thy temple and from out of the gateway of the North 
 Star will come that which shall hold thee against the 
 men." 
 
 And these people went away, but they left the woman, 
 and the king said : "Take her among the servants and 
 give her food and drink." But when she had washed 
 her face and her hands and her hair, one of the old serv- 
 ants of the king saw she was fair and he went unto the 
 king and he said: "O king, thou canst not leave the- 
 woman among the servants, for she is fair to look upon 
 and I know that she is different from others." And 
 the king said unto him : "Send her to me." And the 
 servant said: "How knowest I, master, that she will 
 come unto thee?" And he took from off of his arm 
 according as I spake unto him, and it was a brown bronze 
 circle, and it had within it two green stones and two red 
 stones. And he said unto the servant: "Give this unto 
 the woman and say unto her that the king giveth her 
 protection as it is given unto me from they who cometh 
 and abideth with me from the Seventh Universe." And 
 when she had clothed herself and washed her hair, it was 
 not dark, it was yellow and her skin was white. And 
 she placed around herself a mantle that she had with her 
 
 47 
 
and she came unto the king and she said unto him: 
 "What wouldst thou have of me?" And he said : "Seeth 
 thou they who are of the Seventh Universe?" And she 
 answered and said: "Yea verily, king, I knowest for I 
 dwelt with them within the land of Egypt, the Egypt 
 that thou knowest of." Then she lifted her hand and 
 said : "O king, I cometh to thee with a message and it is 
 of Egypt," and when she opened her mantle the inner 
 portion was covered with symbols woven in the silk like 
 unto the writings of Egypt. And thou didst come unto 
 her and thou didst say : "Opha, why cometh thou from 
 the Sixth Universe? Is it time?" And she said unto 
 thee : "Yea verily, and Egypt hath sent me to bring unto 
 Babylon the message from the King unto the king." 
 And we did listen unto her and she gave her message and 
 she said : "O king, He who is the Son of the Father 
 will come in the third hour and He shall be King of the 
 earth. Knowest thou not that the earth hath more land 
 than water and it must have more water than land; for 
 water is knowledge, and thou art close to the center of 
 the earth and He will cleft the earth and divide it into 
 four portions and then there shall be more water than 
 there is land." And then she said unto the king : "Thou 
 shalt make ready." And we went into the Temple and 
 the king called his servants and they took down the 
 image of stone and of brass and of wood and the places 
 wherein it stood there came a light. Then we waited 
 and the king waited with us and he took his crown from 
 off his head and he laid it down and thou and I removed 
 our mantles. And the temple was filled with something 
 like a cloud which grew smaller and smaller ; after a while 
 into it came the form of He who is the Master. And 
 the king said unto Him : "I would give thee my crown." 
 And He answered and said: "I needeth not a crown. 
 My Father giveth Me a glory and a holiness." And he 
 
 48 
 
lifted his hands and we saw where He cleft the earth 
 and out of it came another cloud and there was a breath 
 of the incense not like the temple had had before. And He 
 said unto us: "Seeth thou this is the consciousness of 
 the Motherhood of earth ?" And the woman said : "Mas- 
 ter, have I done my work as thou wisheth me?" And 
 He said unto her : "Thou hast done and thou shalt hold 
 the perfect thought of motherhood for earth." And He 
 went with the king and he stood in front of the temple 
 and the king proclaimed Him a King indeed, and he 
 called his people together and he told them what had 
 come to them. And the Master stayed and taught them 
 many days and then He went His way with thee and me 
 and that which was Egypt was not Egypt any more 
 within the City of Babylon, but it became a knowledge 
 for the rest of the time of the second habitation. 
 
 Now we must go into Egypt and I saith unto thee 
 that we tarried not, neither did we stay our steps until 
 we came to the great Egypt of the third habitation and 
 many and great were the things within it. But it had no 
 knowledge of the Kingship that was to come unto it. 
 And we took unto ourselves a body each apiece and we 
 dwelt near the heart of the city and there one ruled who 
 did not belong to the House of the Pharaohs, he belonged 
 to the Shepherd Kings. And we went unto him and 
 spake with him and he kneweth not that we were spirit. 
 And I said unto him : "I am a scribe and I search amidst 
 the archives that I may find a manuscript and it is sealed 
 with a green stone and a red stone, and it is bound 
 around with brown bronze." And he said unto us: "I 
 brought this with me from the great land of the North 
 where the North Star holdeth its watch over us." And 
 thou saith unto him: "Was there a master there that 
 it had?" And he answered, "Yea verily." And he stay- 
 eth and abideth with us and taught us and he sent me 
 
 49 
 
thither. And the name of this Shepherd King was Hea- 
 bath, and his father's fathers were Chaldeans and thru 
 them had come this manuscript. And he said unto you : 
 "Art thou a master?" And thou saith "Yea" but I said 
 unto him: "I am a scribe," and he told us if we would 
 come unto him he would have this manuscript brought 
 forth. "I knowest not what is within it, it hath never 
 been opened," and I, Marcus, said unto thee : "Knowest 
 thou and remembereth thou not when he who was the 
 scribe for Pharaoh searched for this manuscript and 
 foundeth it not, and he knew not whither it was? And 
 when we went, according as the king said, the king gave 
 us the manuscript and it was bound round with the 
 brown bronze and within that which clasped it together 
 were the two stones, red and green, and upon the stone 
 was the symbol of the old city of Babylon. And he saith 
 unto me : "Thou canst have this," but I knew that I could 
 not read it. So I saith unto thee, "We will wait until 
 Imhotep comes to us that he may read it." And when 
 he came we broke the seal and we took off that which 
 bound it and we opened it and one portion of it was in the 
 old Chaldean markings; and another portion was of the 
 old Atlantean marking; and another portion of it was of 
 the Egypt which was of the center of the city of Babylon. 
 And Imhotep read it according as it was written and 
 from the Chaldeans he read that there shall be five great 
 circles and they shall be filled full of worlds and planets 
 and stars and luminaries and points of light.* And they 
 shall be as the numbering of they who shall be within 
 the earth from its beginning. And some of them shall 
 be great and some of them shall be small, and some of 
 them shall be light and some of them shall be less light. 
 
 ♦Are these five circles the circles of the earth? 
 Yes. 
 
 50 
 
 i 
 
And unto the Chaldeans this knowledge is given to be 
 held through all the different habitations. 
 
 Then he read according as it was written by the 
 Atlanteans and they said: "And they shall hold the 
 knowledge of the races and the Law of the Infinite for 
 each one and when there cometh a race that shall be last, 
 they shall hold for them the great law that is made by 
 the Father and the Son and the Son and the Son. And 
 not until then shall this great law be known."* 
 
 Then he read according to the Egypt of the City of 
 Babylon and it read : "And they shall create and they 
 shall build another city and it shall be ruled over by the 
 unknown things that no man will interpret the meaning 
 thereof until there is another habitation. And they that 
 builded this great condition shall be of the Seventh Uni- 
 verse, and they shall hold a knowledge of this record and 
 when it is needed for the earth it shall be brought forth 
 and it shall be written and the written words shall hold 
 the thoughts of they who bringeth it unto the earth. 
 
 And when Imhotep had finished reading it, thou saith 
 unto him : "Imhotep, how cometh it that the small band 
 that the king gave to the woman had the red and green 
 stones within it is here within the manuscript? But 
 there are only two stones instead of four." Then Imho- 
 tep said unto thee: "The king and the woman took it, 
 under obedience to the Master, unto the Sixth Universe 
 that it may be kept perfect unto this day, but the Master 
 giveth unto the king and unto the woman one stone eactf 
 apiece. Unto the woman He gave the green stone which 
 shall be the everlasting growth and purity and upliftment 
 for her and for all of they who cometh unto her. And 
 unto the king He gave the red stone that there shall be 
 
 ♦This race that shall be last, is that the 4th habitation? 
 Yes. 
 
 51 
 
firmness and faithfulness and justice and chanty. And 
 he keepeth it within this Sixth Universe. And when 
 Egypt of the third habitation hath builded again they 
 brought it unto Egypt and unto a Shepherd King giveth 
 it he, for he cometh of the old race that was of the first 
 Babylon and the first Egypt.* 
 
 What thinkest thou I tell this unto thee for? Thou 
 hast all of the greatness of Egypt. Thou hast a knowl- 
 edge of Egypt and thou hast a knowledge of the many 
 things of our Universe. And thou puttest all together, 
 but they dost not know the finality of it. 
 
 This which keepeth itself pure that it may hold itself 
 for the coming of the great race that is not known, but 
 what is to be, they will take this and they will use it, but 
 they will only use it as a memory of what the earth has 
 been. And they will create a new universe and they will 
 place within it all that hath been within Egypt, but the 
 great Egypt that was the beginning will hold unto her- 
 self all that she ever held. 
 
 Thou saith unto Imhotep: *'Let us gather together 
 the knowledge of this Egypt, that it may be pure in 
 spirit and not be done away with." And Imhotep saith 
 unto thee: "It will be like gathering the stones of the 
 temple for it is many and great." But thou saith unto 
 him : "It is not as many as the stone in the temple I am 
 building." And I, Marcus, saith unto thee, "Truly thou 
 didst speak, for the stones in the temple which thou art 
 building is life and not the thoughts of men, but the 
 thoughts of spirit. And thou knowest the arches hold 
 that which is pure." And thou didst say : "I will take the 
 brown bronze that holdeth the manuscript that hath with- 
 
 *And is that what will be brought forth in the new condi- 
 tion? 
 Yes. 
 
in it the two stones and I will place it upon the door-fold 
 of the temple and I will do this because it is a portion of 
 Babylon and Egypt. And this Babylon hath not to do 
 with the Babylon of the third habitation."

LESSON V 
 
 MARCUS— May 2, 1918 
 
 And so it has come to you and I have been able to 
 bring back a holy consciousness as I have put together 
 the many things that thou know hast been. And as we 
 wandered thru Constantinople, so we have wandered thru 
 Egypt. And now it is necessary that I give you here and 
 there glimpses of what has been. 
 
 First, it was that one of the great masters said unto us : 
 "It will be needful that there shall be one who shall gather 
 together many symbols to be placed upon the pillars of 
 the great Temple.* Who shall it be? Who shall know 
 how to carve them?" And then he looked upon you and 
 he said: "Thinkest thou that thou canst carve Truth 
 upon it?" And thou didst answer and say: "Nay, mas- 
 ter, I carve not; but I will gather together the symbols 
 and if thou wouldst, I will find one that can carve them 
 for you." And he answered and he said unto thee: 
 "Very well, then, it is for thee to decide." Then he said 
 unto me: "Marcus, canst thou bring that which shall 
 hold upon the base of one of the pillars the sustenance 
 that spirit needs?" And I said unto him: "If thou wilt 
 give me a time and a place I will go into a far land ; not 
 what is earth, but what is greater than earth, and I will 
 
 ♦Who was this master? 
 Melchoir, the Egyptian. 
 
 54 
 
seek to bring that which thou knowest they hath and I 
 will place it upon the base of one of the pillars." Then 
 he said unto the third one: "But unto thee I wouldst 
 say that thou must go into the heights wherein the Father 
 dwelleth and thou must seek that which shall be the 
 greatness which the Temple shall hold. Many and long 
 will be the days wherein thou shalt search for greater 
 things.'* 
 
 Then the three of us stood together and the master 
 saith no more unto us, but we spake together and this one 
 that was to go into the heights, said : "I had wished that 
 they might send me, for knowest thou not that I wouldst 
 that once more the breath of holiness should be breathed 
 upon me, that my garments shall hold what no one hath 
 ever placed therein." And he went his way and thou and 
 I hath looked for him many times. Once in the great 
 eastern desert we knelt in prayer and thou saidst unto 
 me : "Marcus, seeth thou the brother of the Seventh Uni- 
 verse? Methinks I saw him for a moment and his face 
 shone with a great glory." And I said unto thee: "I 
 saw nothing, perhaps it is because I must go into a far 
 land to bring that which the master saith unto me that I 
 shall find therein." Then we went into the great Egypt 
 that was in the third habitation and thou didst find one 
 who was very cunning in carving the symbols and thou 
 and I didst abide with him a long time, even unto the 
 days when his body grew old, according as the time of 
 earth was.* And he carved and he learned every symbol 
 that ever was made or ever will be made. Some of the 
 symbols held within them volumes of thought; others 
 held only a word ; but every language and every history, 
 even the thoughts of great men, were within them. And 
 
 *Was he Joseph? 
 Yes. 
 
 55 
 
he dwelt in a place in the city close by a great Temple 
 that they had built. But one day he said unto thee and 
 me : "We will go into the Temple, there is something I 
 wouldst that thou shouldst see." He led us into the heart 
 of the Temple and there was a great blaze like fire, and 
 thou saidst unto him : "They needeth no purification for 
 thou knowest they have been purified, for these are the 
 g^eat days." And as we stood and watched it, there 
 came unto us one who had an etheric body and he said : 
 "I have been everywhere searching for thee, for thou, too, 
 art masters. Come thou with me, all of you, for I 
 wouldst that thou shouldst see the great change that is 
 taking place within the earth." And thou didst go with 
 him even into the heart of the pyramid and he took you 
 within the great Room and within the Circle. And then 
 thou didst see, and as thou didst look, every atom of the 
 earth became, as it were, transparent, and the great orbit 
 of the earth changed in its movement, and thou didst see 
 the bodies of men become like unto vapor. "This," he 
 said, "is the manner in which the second habitation shall 
 pass away." And we felt as if we were lifted up within 
 the Circle, and once more we looked and we saw a great 
 space and everything within the earth was held silent; 
 there was no growth, no movement, no force, no action. 
 And the five Circles of the earth were still and the sun and 
 the moon and the great planets and the luminaries kept in 
 their places, and then thou didst see they who were the 
 masters of Egypt take with them that which is a reflection 
 and place it within the Etheric Universes that lay in the 
 land wherein I afterwards went. And thou hast known 
 that it is said that between the Second habitation and the 
 Third was the windswept condition, and they of Egypt 
 placed within the windswept condition a reflection of all 
 that had been, and it was there and it remained there 
 12,460 days. Then the ether began to assume a more 
 
 56 
 
solid form and it fractionized itself and it became a unit, 
 each according to its own self. And thou didst say unto 
 he who had brought us there : "Givest thou to us a mean- 
 ing?" And he said: "Knowest thou not that as it was 
 in the beginning, so it will be once more?" And he 
 showed you the manner by which the great knowledge 
 that Egypt had, came to them from the beginning when 
 the Father separated all into races and unto them was 
 given the atoms that held great knowledge, and unto 
 them was given also the manner by which this could 
 be held. And there were those who knew not save to 
 keep the silence for the earth and he said : "They are the 
 Udans. And they who were the Chaldeans and the Hit- 
 ites, they shall bring both the Promise and the Blessing; 
 and thou shalt know in the days to come why it is that 
 it is so according to the things contained in the land of 
 Egypt." 
 
 And he went his way and thou and I went also, and 
 the one whom thou hadst chosen to carve the symbols 
 upon the pillar said unto thee : "I will meet thee in the 
 great land of the souls and thou shalt tell me where I 
 shall find the Temple that thou shalt ask of me to carve 
 upon its pillars." Then I saith unto thee: "I go and 
 thou must go again unto the Seventh Universe and wait 
 for me." And I went unto the great Unknown lands and 
 I found three Laws and I brought them with me, and I 
 said: "We will go to earth, it is the third habitation, 
 and we will go unto Egypt." And we went in the days of 
 the King and there was but one Pyramid left standing 
 and he said unto they who were standing with him : "It 
 is needful that we shall build more pyramids, for thou 
 knowest the old manuscripts and the old symbols saith 
 there are three." And we went unto the King and I said 
 unto him : "O thou, who art the king of Egypt, I wouldst 
 that thou shouldst allow us to be with thee until the build- 
 
 57 
 
ing of the great pyramids is complete." And he knew 
 not that we were spirit, and he said unto thee : "Who art 
 thou that thou shouldst demand of me to do this thing?" 
 And thou didst say unto him: "I wouldst measure and 
 I wouldst place the great Pyramid according as it is 
 needful." And thou didst take from out of thy mantle 
 and thou didst show him the old measurements and the 
 old ways and thou didst show him how the North Star 
 should fall directly upon the apex of the pyramid. And 
 while he spake unto you there came one who was from 
 Chaldee and he said unto thee: "What wouldst thou to 
 do?" And he answered and said: "I have come, for 
 within three days doth the North Star fall directly within 
 the triangle of the heavens." And he said unto you: 
 "Wilt thou be ready ?" And thou didst answer and say : 
 "Yea verily." And we went forth, for the city was new, 
 for the greatness and the power of the king had not been 
 sent forth over the land as yet. And when thou hadst 
 called together they who were not of men, but of the 
 universes, then we began to build the pyramid. Thou 
 knowest that there came unto thee he who was the third 
 son of the Pharaoh, he who came unto the king, and ruled 
 many years afterward. And thou didst bring from out 
 the Seventh Universe he who had always builded the 
 great things for the Father. And when thou hadst made 
 the place that would measure the cubits from the one 
 pyramid to the south and to the east and to the west, thou 
 didst know wherein thy Law of Obedience came. Then 
 thou didst go to the north and thou didst measure from 
 the one to the east and from the east to the west and 
 thou didst know that thy Law of Obedience was fulfilled. 
 And the King sent for thee and he said : "What hast thou 
 done?" And thou didst show that the markings upon 
 the ground were for the great pyramid. Then thou didst 
 say unto me : "Marcus, whither shall we go that we may 
 
 58 
 
find great stones?" And I answered and I said : "I have 
 looked everywhere." And we goeth 100 miles to the 
 south and we go 20 miles to the east and we findeth the 
 quarry wherein are the stones for the building. And 
 thou didst then take they of Egypt, and some of them 
 were great, and some of them were small, not according 
 to size, but according to place in the royal household ; and 
 some of them said : "What thinkest thou that thou shalt 
 find — that where the stones are for the great pyramid?" 
 And I answered and said : "Surely thou knowest that 
 we are master builders." And he said no more and he 
 went his way. And when thou hadst come to the turn 
 of the place wherein we were to go to the east, thou didst 
 plant an obsoleek (obelisk?) and it had three sides and 
 it stood nine feet and two feet of it were in the ground 
 and thou didst build it of one stone, and it measured on 
 each side four feet — that maketh the 12 feet. And thou 
 didst place it there that they would know whither they 
 were going. And when they were all quiet and asleep 
 on their journey we cometh unto it and thou saith unto 
 me: "When thou seeth the light at the top of it thou 
 wilt know that we are ready to move the stones." And 
 we waited until the third hour of the morning, then the 
 light came and thou didst pray and say that he who 
 sendeth me sendeth also that which shall give me the 
 power to do according as the third habitation demanded 
 of me. And we went unto the quarry and they took 
 long pieces of wrought and polished bronze and thou 
 hadst filled them with steel, for thou didst make them 
 thyself, and the point of each one of them thou hadst 
 touched at the top of the obsoleek, and when they traced 
 the side of the stone, it cutteth and no man knew why it 
 cutteth. And when they came to move the stones, thou 
 didst place them on each side of the stones and there were 
 three on each side and there was one at the top covering 
 
 59 
 
them. And some saith unto thee: "How far knowest 
 thou it is that they shall be moved?" And thou didst 
 say: "I have measured and according to the calculation 
 of man it is many miles ; but according to the calculation 
 of they who belongeth within the Seventh Universe, it is 
 not far." And they knowest not what thy meaning was 
 and when thou hadst placed the foundation stones of the 
 two pyramids, then it was that thou didst go thy way 
 and thou didst leave Imhotep and me, and I guided the 
 workmen on one, and Imhotep upon the other. And 
 when it was finished and completed the age of the earth 
 had numbered many days. 
 
 Then it was that it became known that there had 
 been three Kings reigned in Egypt since the beginning. 
 And these who were there called together their people 
 and they said : "We must now arrange for it is and the 
 great work is finished." And there was great rejoicing 
 and many gathered from the east and from the north 
 and from the south and they came together, and there 
 was great feasting, and in the early hours they gathered 
 and worshipped the God of the Sun. And among them 
 was one who was of the Royal House and her name was 
 Phlelu (pronounced like Flu-flo) and she was the daugh- 
 ter of the King and everywhere throughout the land she 
 was known for her beauty and for the gorgeousness of 
 the many jewels that she wore. And one morning, very 
 early in the morning, she came to the camp wherein the 
 workmen abode while they worked to finish, and she 
 said unto Imhotep : "Art thou the master who buildeth ?" 
 And he said : "Not so." And she saith unto me : "Art 
 thou the master?" And I answered and saith unto her, 
 "No." And she saith: "When cometh the master who 
 hath builded long and great?" And she saith unto us: 
 "I know, for it is written among the many symbols of the 
 House of the Kings that it was my father's father's father 
 
 60 
 
that began the building of the Pyramid. And I know 
 that no man liveth those number of days, so I knoweth 
 thou art not men, thou art more than men, thou art 
 spirit." And I, Marcus, saith unto her: "If thou wilt 
 look thou wilt know who we are." And then she said: 
 "Yea verily, thou art of the Seventh Universe, and thou 
 knowest there are sons of the Universe of the Seventh and 
 there are daughters of the Universe of the Seventh, and 
 thou knowest I am one of the three daughters of the Unity 
 of Thought within the Seventh Universe." And I, Mar- 
 cus, said unto her: "Surely thou art a great and wise 
 counselor and I looketh for he who was the master of 
 the building." And Imhotep said unto her : "Thou wilt 
 come at the night hour for I knowest the master cometh 
 unto us then." And when thou didst come we told thee 
 of her visit and thou hadst not been long until she came 
 once more and she said : "Thou must go unto my father, 
 the King, and thou must find thy place among they who 
 are of the royal household." And we went, not as work- 
 men, but as they who were prepared to be with the King, 
 for thou bringest with thee the house robes of the Seventh 
 Universe and they were purple with white bands and they 
 had the gold and the silver twisted cords that held them 
 together. And when we came to the King in the aud- 
 ience chamber, the daughter of the King said unto him : 
 "Father, knowest thou who this is that hath come to 
 thee? They are not men, but spirit, and when the earth 
 hath grown old there shall be a time when they will tell 
 how this all hath been done, for no man will know how 
 the two pyramids were builded." And they called unto 
 the people and the people bowed their heads and wor- 
 shipped the greatness of the power of he who could create 
 according as it was given unto him to create, and when 
 the days of the feasting and the rejoicing were over, we 
 went unto a quiet place and thou didst say unto me: 
 
 61 
 
"Marcus, thou hast not told me what thou didst bring 
 unto the earth, only that they were laws." And I saith 
 unto thee the master of the land spake and said : "Thou 
 shalt take these Laws and they shall be placed within the 
 earth and they are the Unknown Laws and when thou 
 seeth he whom thou knowest will ask of thee what thou 
 bringest, thou shalt say that when the days of the num- 
 bering of all things have passed, He shall take a physical 
 body and the spirit of him shall seek within the earth for 
 the three Unknown Laws." I, Marcus, saith unto thee, 
 one of them is the Law that giveth to the earth the power 
 whereby the great transcendant light shall divide it and 
 make it so that it can pass within the first great Etheric 
 Circle that shall be placed around it. And the time shall 
 be 149 years between the finding and the movement of 
 one great Unknown Law. And the second then shall 
 come and it shall be that there shall be the transition from 
 weight unto light without weight,* and every atom shall 
 have partaken of the light and shall be lifted up and there 
 shall be a zone that shall measure the height and the 
 depth of each atom and they shall move toward it, and 
 the shadow of the earth shall pass away and there shall 
 be three suns, not one; and the Hght of them shall be 
 greater than the earth hath ever known; and the space 
 between the second Unknown Law and the third Un- 
 known Law shall be 1000 years and when the third Un- 
 known Law is given the earth will then have come to 
 the last condition and it shall be turned from the northeast 
 to the southwest, and it shall not be round, but it shall be 
 oblong; and 300 days will it be likened unto this, and 
 then the forces that have surrounded it will be withdrawn 
 and all the movements that have been within it shall be 
 
 "^Does that mean the transition of the new earth? 
 Yes, sir. 
 
 62 
 
silenced, and then at the end of the days it shall again 
 turn and move toward the west, and it shall move in great 
 circles and the circles shall be measured according to the 
 height and the breadth of the Seventh Universe and the 
 Ninth Universe and the Third Universe; then shall the 
 great circles of the earth open and the earth shall pass 
 thru and it shall not be known as earth any more, but 
 round about it will be the glory and the knowledge of the 
 seven great races that the Father hath created and there 
 shall be brought of all the universes wherein the masters 
 have been who came to earth and the universes of the 
 earth, which are five, shall stand to the north and the 
 universes which have within them seven shall stand to the 
 south and there shall be created four universes for the east 
 and four universes for the west, and they shall all move 
 in perfect unity and the knowledge of the Law and thou 
 shalt look and see the glory of Egypt and thy conscious- 
 ness within it shall be as one day according to the num- 
 bering of the law of the Father. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. How many Dynasties does this History cover? 
 
 A. Marcus says, who is it that saith thus? Because do 
 you not know that some of the dynasties were given unto the 
 hands of the sister of the King and she giveth it unto another 
 family. Then how canst thou say that any dynasty worketh 
 according to the son following? 
 
 Q. I would like to know, what it was, that formed the 
 light in the top of the column or obsoleek? 
 
 A. It was the power of spirit that can measure everywhere, 
 both great and small, and spirit understands that there is no 
 weight to matter and those pyramids were not built to merely 
 record immensity and weight, but to hold, even unto the next 
 habitation, the measurement and the power of spirit. 
 
 63 
 
Q. Weight — does not mentality have something to do with 
 weight? — the burden — a habit? 
 
 A. Yes, mentality makes a great fraction within matter 
 and what makes it heavy is fear which comes thru mentality as 
 it calls up no form. 
 
 Q. There was a thought given that Rome or the Romans, 
 represented, thru the atoms, the strength that is placed within 
 what is known as the heavy mechanism of the world today. 
 Is that correct? 
 
 A. Rome impregnated, or the Romans, the atoms and 
 placed upon them their expression of destruction, and in their 
 depth they reached that out of which mechanism is made, or 
 the mechanical formations of today. While mentality added its 
 weight to those and hath produced what will destroy itself.

LESSON VI 
 
 Subject: The Why of the Knowledge of Egypt; 
 The Memory of Egypt; Where it was be- 
 gun; Where it is now; What portion 
 you and I formed, etc. 
 
 MARCUS— March 7, 1918 
 
 We are going to have the Why of the Knowledge 
 of Egypt ; the Memory of Egypt ; Where it was Begun ; 
 and Where it is Now. What portion you and I formed 
 within it, and Why we formed it. 
 
 In order to do this, we must begin with the holy con- 
 sciousness of what was the first Thought in the placing 
 of us as spirit. Why Heldos gave her aura that she 
 created to Imhotep ; and why, of all things, Egypt was the 
 one to hold the origin for earth, of the Oath of Flame. 
 
 Thou knowest why we were of the same cycle ; thou 
 knowest and it hath been given unto thee why Heldos in 
 the first conscious movement of spirit, created as she did. 
 In all this you have three great Principles; three great 
 Conditions. Thou and I had to work in one ; Imhotep in 
 two and Heldos in the third. 
 
 Why did you and I work in one? In order that one 
 should hold the positive and the other the negative con- 
 dition within the Principle. Unto us was given the 
 thought, as far as spirit was concerned, to pass thru and 
 gather together the greater knowledge in order that it 
 
 65 
 
might be placed, and by so doing, thru the conscious 
 knowledge of Infinite, we established that which can 
 never be done away with. 
 
 In the first great predynastic condition of Egypt, there 
 was a purer element of knowledge, for unto the earth 
 was given a purer condition of form, and its disobedience 
 did not fold itself so closely within the elements of cre- 
 ated life. 
 
 Passing on down and holding ourselves subject to the 
 thought, you will find that when in the Holy Places had 
 gathered they who must serve the Father, He gave unto 
 us the thought or condition for the establishment of 
 Egypt. What did it mean to us then? A fountain of 
 great knowledge, and a fountain of great knowledge it 
 hath remained even unto this day. What is the meaning 
 of this fountain of knowledge? That there shall be an in- 
 flow of spirit that is fine, pure, delicate and everlasting. 
 In the old predynastic condition it was not mingled with 
 the thought of personality, and the first great conscious- 
 ness of spirit when Imhotep held for himself the pure 
 aura, but did not use it in physical form, then it was that 
 we knew that that perfect knowledge for earth would 
 always remain a perfect knowledge . 
 
 You say, did they build cities and places within Egypt 
 where this knowledge could be stored? Not at first, for 
 spirit needed not the earth to build within it that which 
 already was builded. In this I strive to lead you away 
 from the thought of placing what you now know and 
 what you have known in the past. 
 
 Then following on down a few ages brought about a 
 condition wherein form could be established. It was here 
 that the first great Pharaoh that held form, began to build 
 under the direction of the Brotherhood of the Seventh 
 Universe, and with this building came the true Principle 
 of perfect unity. In that and thru that flowed the knowl- 
 
 66 
 
edge that hath always been. I know in coming in contact 
 with humanity today that they think that the source of 
 knowledge was established within earth, but I say unto 
 you, no knowledge, it matters not how great, ever had its 
 origin within your material earth. The purpose of estab- 
 Ushing a great city with its temples and its places of 
 worship, its palaces for the kings and its wonderful homes 
 for its people, was, that there might be a form for all 
 things thru which this could act. Unity of the perfect 
 was carried as far as material could be obtained to carry 
 it. 
 
 The second Egypt was only an imitation of the first 
 great Egypt, and in and thru this, I give you this knowl- 
 edge. And if you wish to trace it, if you will read in 
 Kings of the splendor of Solomon and the building of 
 his Temple, and where it all came from, molded and 
 planned and ready to be put together, and that it was put 
 together without the sound of a hammer, you may know 
 that in the land of Ophir, where the first condition of old 
 predynastic Egypt was, came the material out of which 
 Solomon builded his Temple. It came by sea and it came 
 by land and from out of this wonderful Egypt came all 
 things needful. 
 
 Why did Solomon demand of Egypt these things? 
 Because Solomon was of the House of Israel and the King 
 of Egypt was one of the Shepherd Kings. Was this be- 
 fore the physical life ? I answer you yea, and afterwards 
 it was from the physical life. 
 
 This land lay far to the southwest and was not con- 
 nected with the later Egypt. And Solomon, in the con- 
 sciousness of spirit, dwelt in what is now Egypt. He 
 held, as it were, for the people there, a thought, as the 
 Jehovah of the Jews held later for them. 
 
 Coming into the second condition of Egypt after the 
 transference of the windswept, we find still they who in 
 
the consciousness of spirit, always have acted in unison, 
 once more establishing the condition of the second place 
 of Egypt. In and thru all this we find the greatest and 
 most condensed form of mathematical calculations. We 
 find here the majesty and the force of immensity. We 
 also find a greater grandeur than the earth has had since 
 then, and in a portion of the knowledge of Egypt, of which 
 you had a consciousness, we will now follow down closer 
 than we did the last time. 
 
 This time I take you with me in the consciousness of 
 spirit to the western portion of Africa; there, abiding in 
 great number, is a race of men and women highly cul- 
 tured, wonderfully developed and holding their places as 
 a remnant of the great Israelitish nation. You will find 
 no history of this anywhere as it was never written. They 
 became very powerful, and in the great reign of the last 
 Pharaoh they overpowered and subdued Egypt, but not 
 by force of arms, but by the force of numbers. Egypt had 
 assumed a tremendous degree of power, but she had 
 lacked the manner of holding it. She sent word to these 
 people that she would meet them upon their own plane, 
 and she met them, and their number was treble that of 
 Egypt. And the exchange was this, that if they had a 
 greater knowledge than they, then they would worship 
 and be subdued ; but if Egypt's knowledge was not equal 
 to their own and Egypt held not the numbering they held, 
 then should they be proclaimed king. This was agreed 
 upon and we were present at the time. They were called 
 "Shepherd Kings" because they had led their people a 
 long ways across to Egypt. They were called "Shepherd 
 Kings'* because they always numbered their people. 
 They also builded many cities that were walled, which 
 had never been done before. For 18,000 years they ruled 
 Egypt in succession. During the time and before the 
 return of the Pharaoh, there came into their midst one 
 
 •68 
 
who dwelt in the Twelfth Universe. He v;as a mighty 
 master and the Shepherd Kings demanded that he give 
 them a Promise, which he did, but in exchange they were 
 to place again the Pharaoh upon the throne. This was 
 done in order that the succession of the great condition 
 should become complete once more for the earth. In all 
 this I have given you the establishment of Egypt, its pur- 
 pose and its place. 
 
 It was during the reign of the last Shepherd King that 
 the subjugation of all the northern portion of what is now 
 Europe was accomplished. And then began the division 
 into tribes, and when that was accomplished, the work of 
 the Shepherd Kings was complete. Some of them lived 
 to be a hundred years old, some only thirty. And during 
 that time they remained successively, not as far as father 
 and son altogether, but according to the family that held 
 three sons. This was one of their Laws. 
 
 Now I want to bring to you one of the greatest condi- 
 tions of spirit in the consciousness of Egypt that we have 
 ever had together. 
 
 You know there had to be some form by which the 
 placing of knowledge would be complete, and here it is 
 where Heldos, Imhotep, you and I formed the great con- 
 dition. What and who was it that formed with us this 
 condition? It was she who afterwards was known as the 
 most beautiful woman of Egypt. History gives no truth 
 to what really was. Her name was Hilahatha, and she 
 came from out of the Sixth Universe, and was known 
 with Heldos as the Triplicate of Movement. She chose 
 to take a physical form in Egypt at this time, but before 
 doing so, every arrangement had been made for us to be 
 with her. She had the power of using both etheric and 
 spiritual body, as well as the physical one. She had great 
 creative powers and had the power of bringing them into 
 physical form. We all assisted her in every way and this 
 
 69 
 
is where we form the great Principle of Thought for 
 Egypt. It was due to her marvelous powers that the 
 grandeur of Egypt became what it did. No invention of 
 the present equalled what they had then. No forces have 
 ever been used since that she used, and yet with it all, 
 there was a wonderful delicacy thru everything that was 
 created. It was thru her the first form of language was 
 established. Before that, language was a method of gut- 
 tural sounds and gestures. Thru her came the first use 
 of what afterwards was the Latin and the Hebrew lan- 
 guages. Thru her efforts a form of numerals and letters 
 was placed. And many were the hours that we all spent 
 together. 
 
 One day she said : "I want you to be ready to be with 
 me tonight." Then it was that within the lofty chamber 
 of her own home wherein she had established every light 
 reflection, every electric force, every sensitive condition 
 possible, that we all heard and knew of even greater 
 things than had come to us within the Universe. It was 
 the only time that this was ever accomplished, for earth 
 has grown too material. Heldos assisted her in teaching 
 her people how to manufacture and put together colors 
 and textures. Thru her was established the method by 
 which silken threads were woven. She also had them 
 cultivate and raise innumerable bright colored spiders of 
 large size who spun the most delicate webs out of which 
 was woven exquisite laces and shadowy silk tissues. All 
 of this we assisted in because each one had the power of 
 utilizing some great Principle for this to be developed. 
 
 The power of passing thru the air was more perfectly 
 developed than at the present. Traveling beneath the 
 water was also one of her great accomplishments. And 
 at the present you have a very crude method. 
 
 The attraction of great lights from planets and suns 
 and universes and zones was nothing unusual. All this 
 
 70 
 
will give you a slight conception of the thought of what 
 our consciousness must have been with her. 
 
 There are some few things in all this that I have 
 wanted to tell you, for one reason, is because at one time 
 in human life you laid aside the thought of any creation 
 being marvelous. Are you aware that the Infinite can 
 take breath and from out of the ether of your atmosphere 
 which holds fire, air and water, and that you call oxygen, 
 that one of those breaths can formulate one million 
 forms? Perfect, animated, intelligent, all the senses de- 
 veloped and absolutely perfectly formed. And before 
 the earth grasped the thought of materiality, before the 
 material atoms become the supremacy, this could be done. 
 There is the origin of the Israelites, the Hittites, the 
 Aryans and the Atlanteans. We call it the crystalliza- 
 tion of atoms that are held within the atmosphere, perfect, 
 pure, undefiled and susceptible to creation thru the breath 
 of the Father. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. That would explain what Living Thought told us one 
 time when we asked how many were created in the first creation, 
 and he said, three thousand million? Yes. 
 
 Q. Marcus, did this occur before planetary atoms with 
 earth had the power of assuming form? Yes, that is what we 
 call the quickening of the life of the spirit, but in later quota- 
 tion, man has attempted to explain it by saying "He breathed 
 into them the breath of life." 
 
 Q. Will you explain regarding the Triplicate Movement? 
 
 A. Within the 6th Universe the Triplicate Movement is 
 known as the movement of the universe and has the power of 
 producing a perfect condition of movement. "Triplicate" with 
 them means the "within of the within", or, as you would say, 
 a circle within a circle, moving in opposite directions. That 
 gives you the space between the circles that moves in unison 
 with both, that gives you the triplicate. 
 
 71 
 
Q. What portion of the Tfiplicate Movement forms itself 
 in our knowledge of zonic light? 
 
 A. It forms the action that comes between the time when 
 the soul takes the elements of atoms and the final creation of 
 the aura for the brain. It takes a triplicate movement to do 
 that. You have the movement of the atoms, the movement of 
 the soul and the movement of the aura. 
 
 Q. Then the Triplicate Universes must create a triplicate 
 light within the zone. 
 
 A. Yes, they certainly do. 
 
 Marcus wears a dark blue robe with gold trimmings. It is 
 different to what he usually wears. Meaning of the robes you 
 wear? 
 
 Well, I had to bring you the Law of Creation and the 
 placing of the thought thereof. (Spiritual Law). 
 
 Marcus says, if you only knew the meaning of so many 
 things that your earth holds at the present! The formations of 
 great events. It's like when Rome conquered the world; now 
 spiritualization has begun her work of conquering the earth. 
 Watch carefully, see with the eye of a Master's love, judge 
 neither nation, nor man, then will come to you the realization 
 of what the work is. 
 
 Who was here with Dr. L. yesterday — who was the lady? 
 It was Catherine tKe Great, the old Czar of Russia (the father 
 of the present Czar), King Alfred of England (consort of Queen 
 Victoria). 
 
 What was the meaning? Do you not know that the fires 
 of the Altar holdeth that which giveth a vital principle? Dr. 
 L. is working in Russia and he came to gather together some 
 of this vitality, for every one who has attempted a leadership 
 in Russia has lacked vitality.

LESSON VII 
 
 The Mystic Laws of Egypt. — The First Great 
 
 Consciousness of Egypt, not as one Spirit, 
 
 but as the Spirit of Egypt 
 
 MARCUS— November 7, 1918 
 
 Marcus says — Aveos, Avenatus, Avenushree. Today 
 I am with you; yesterday I was with you; tomorrow it 
 will be the same. 
 
 Tonight I give you what I have waited a long time 
 that thou shouldst know, for thou hast questioned how 
 it is known to the Father the measurement, the height, 
 the depth and the greatness, for there is no other that 
 He hath, but unto they who are known as the Gods He 
 giveth the power of a more equal separating into frac- 
 tions. What thou knoweth in the physical belongeth to 
 what thou knowest as earth, and I wouldst that thou 
 shouldst know how thou comest in touch with he who 
 was given the placing, and he was called the God of the 
 Universe. Yet unto none has it been told from whence 
 he came. All that thou knowest is that he cometh from 
 the Father. I say unto thee, thou in the spirit wert with 
 they who were known as the Brotherhood that holdeth 
 for the finite that which hath breath.* 
 
 ♦What brotherhood is this? 
 The Holy Brotherhood. 
 
 73 
 
Where dwelleth they? In the heights into which the 
 thought of man hath not entered. But I say unto thee, 
 thou knowest not when it shall be opened and that it shall 
 be known, for surely He who giveth infinite holdeth not 
 back from finite what it can bear.* 
 
 He who is known as the God of the Universe claimeth 
 from the Father the universe wherein finite was created. 
 
 And there were three masters of the Universe of the 
 Sun and they brought with them that which holdeth the 
 essence of finite breath. They had brought it with them 
 from out of the cycles of creation ; and they kneweth not 
 until that day what should be done with it or where it 
 should be placed. But when the God of the Universe 
 turneth his face toward the sun, that holdeth these mas- 
 ters, they heard and came unto him. And thou and I 
 and he who was of the High Heavens, which is known 
 in Egypt as Lippotay, he who had marked that which 
 should be the dynasties of the first Egypt of earth, and 
 when he had finished his portion, thou and I took from 
 out of it what we knew would hold the finite breath. And 
 it had no measurement within it. And we went our way 
 unto the God of the Universe, and they of the Universe of 
 the Sun stood and formeth themselves according to the 
 Triune — one at one comer; one at another; and another 
 at another. And the God of the Universe saith unto 
 them: "At this time I knowest that my Father hath 
 need of the finite." And they of the Universe of the Sun 
 said unto him : "Shall it be according to the multiplicity 
 of light, or shall it be according to that which shall be 
 placed within a circle?" And thou and I listened and 
 he said unto them : "This is all that hath been given 
 unto me, that when I have completed my work I must 
 
 ♦Will we be able to develop in the physical so we can bear 
 this knowledge? 
 
 You can complete it in the physical. 
 
 74 
 
call upon thee and thou must do according as thou know- 
 est." And they closed around us and there were six of 
 us. And I asketh of he who was the God of the Uni- 
 verse: "Why is it that there are six of us?" And he 
 said: "Seeth thou not another?" And as I looked I 
 saw he who was the creator of the souls into which the 
 breath of finite entereth. And I knew that he would be 
 called the Hqly Spirit. Three times the light that he 
 brought with him folded us around about like a mist that 
 had within it many shades, and every time it covered us 
 the shades lightened until at last it hath no shade, for all 
 was cleared away. 
 
 Thou wilt know my meaning when thou cometh close 
 enough to the knowledge of the finite in earth which shall 
 be thy portion when thou hast learned all these things. 
 
 Then it was that the great masters of the Sun held 
 forth their hands and from out of them, lifting itself like 
 a vapor, floated the breath of the finite, and the Holy 
 Spirit, he who was the great creator, gathered together 
 that which had gone forth from them and gave it what 
 man saith is an intelligence. 
 
 Follow thou closely my meaning, and knowest this, 
 that ever since, it mattereth not where it be, this intelli- 
 gence permeates all things that can claim ether as a 
 portion of itself. For this was the creation of finite 
 breath that hath never lost its force or its power. Even 
 now man knoweth not whither it goes, though he may 
 claim the right to hold it and send it forth, but it is not 
 subject unto him, he is subject unto it. 
 
 Thou hast asked of me what is the height, and I say 
 unto thee it is that which calleth, not only the God of the 
 Universe, but the Holy Spirit, all masters and all brother- 
 hoods, and calleth them that they may have the breath of 
 the finite, not as man saith it is, but as God saith it is. 
 (What God ? The God of the Great Heavens.) 
 
 75 
 
Then thou hast questioned and thou saith unto me: 
 "What is it that is the great measurement?" And I say 
 unto thee: "Thru the knowledge of holy breath thou 
 entereth into the Great Heavens. And thru the knowl- 
 edge of the holy breath which was breathed into the 
 infinite of thy spirit, the Great Heavens became unto 
 thee the knowledge wherein Egypt was blessed, and gave 
 unto Egypt the name, which is Knowledge." 
 
 Then thou asketh of me, what bringeth it within a 
 circle that hath a cycle within it? And I say unto thee, 
 it is that thou shalt go and go and thou shalt find neither 
 beginning nor end, for thou seeketh it not, but wherever 
 thou findest a light, thou knowest that the cycle within 
 the circle is not measured, but thou canst go forever and 
 forever within it, finding what thy infinite can under- 
 stand. 
 
 What have I given thee? That which is known as 
 the Mystic Laws of Egypt. None can read them as thou 
 readest. Within them is the Seal of the Temple. Within 
 them is the cornerstone which lay ready for the founda- 
 tions of all worlds. Within them is the symbol that be- 
 longeth within the archway. Also thou shalt find there 
 the first creation of the Temple of Infinite Thought.* 
 
 I said unto thee, there should be the White Brother- 
 hood and the Blue Brotherhood and the Orange Brother- 
 hood. I say unto thee, thou hast known that which is 
 of the White Brotherhood and of the Blue Brotherhood, 
 but tonight I giveth thee a higher knowledge of the 
 Orange Brotherhood. Within this thou shalt trace out 
 the outflow of the fountain whose waters hold nothing 
 save pure thought. 
 
 *Is not this Temple and the Temple of "Living Thought,' 
 one and the same? 
 Yes. 
 
Thou must have a knowledge of when these masters 
 of the Universe of the Sun Hved with us within Egypt 
 even into the third habitation. One of them, his name 
 was Nathpo. The other was Nathor, and the third was 
 Naleita. And they reigned in three dynasties and they 
 builded temples that were in a circle. And when I say 
 unto thee that this was the first time that man received 
 a knowledge that a temple should have a dome above it, 
 thou shalt read the symbol wherein thou didst find in 
 Constantinople the place beneath the dome that holdeth 
 the stone wherein were many symbols placed. 
 
 This for thee will be a hard lesson and much thought 
 wilt thou give it, and thou wilt then know the meaning 
 of the measurement of infinite and why it is only three 
 times that a measurement is made. 
 
 I, Marcus, would speak with thee, for many things 
 have come unto the age of the present that were foretold 
 in Egypt of the past. 
 
 And these three masters of the Universe of the Sun, 
 when they reigned as kings, told many things. But they 
 who made a record of them, took them away, for they 
 knew that no man would be able to understand. 
 
 The first one, he gave them what he saw. It was the 
 movement that should come to the earth in the third 
 habitation and he showed them the breaking of the circle 
 and he showed them the entrance of all things that would 
 form the holy light. 
 
 And the second one of the kings wrote his, and he 
 wrote upon a scroll of thin copper and he laid it away 
 and no man hath found it. But upon it is written that 
 when the age cometh there shall be divine things and 
 they shall find a place where the masters can give them to 
 they who waiteth for them. And there shall be confusion 
 and turmoil and strife, but this which cometh shall come 
 with love and peace. 
 
And the third king he giveth his unto they who Ust- 
 eneth with the ears of the spirit and they came from 
 every portion wherein the Father had created them, to 
 fill, even from the heights. And he said unto them: 
 "Wait thou, for thy Father will call thee that thou shalt 
 know they who have been created for this earth; and 
 thou shalt loosen every bond and thou shalt make free 
 all places, for thou wert given a knowledge of the breath 
 of infinite and thou wast given a knowledge of the breath 
 of finite which they who inhabit the earth hath no knowl- 
 edge of. And he said unto them : "And there shall be a 
 multiplicity of light and it shall be as if the firmament 
 of the heavens were filled full and there shalt be a coming 
 close and a breaking asunder and a new light and a new 
 consciousness.* And this consciousness shall be born 
 unto they who seek it first; afterwards they shall give it 
 unto they who seeketh not, but are listening that it shall 
 come unto them. And I said unto him : "Tellest thou 
 unto us why thou speakest of a new consciousness?" 
 And he said: "Surely thou must know, for thou wert 
 with me when we created the breath of the finite and 
 thou shalt listen when the silence of movement of all 
 multiplicity of light is, then thou shalt know that the 
 transition is finished and finite hath become imbued with 
 the breath of the infinite and my work is complete. "f 
 
 In thy thought thou art feeling that there is a revela- 
 tion at the present and thou art waiting that it shall be 
 made plain. I say unto thee : "John wrote many things 
 and many things were destroyed wherein he wrote and 
 
 ♦Is this new light the Divine Master's star? 
 
 Yes. 
 
 tDoes this transition mean the spiritual mentality? 
 
 Yes. 
 
 78 
 
I bring unto thee this night one of the greatest, for when 
 He who was a disciple of the Father, readest from the 
 Book he readeth not all that was therein, for this revela- 
 tion was one of them and thou hast often said : 'He giv- 
 eth us not all, only a portion.' " 
 
 Write thou these words : And there shall be no divi- 
 sion of the land of the Father, neither shall He giveth it 
 unto any one, but unto all. They who hath greatest love 
 shall give most; and they who needeth most will receive 
 it. And when the great day cometh, it shall be full of 
 blessing and not curses. It shall be holy and blessed, 
 and there shall be no need of strife. There shall come 
 one who driveth three steeds that hath no color, neither 
 white nor black ; and he holdeth the reigns of his steeds 
 with both hands, but he hath no chariot, but his feet are 
 winged and the soul of him was created long before the 
 light of the earth was. This I, Marcus, say unto thee, 
 holds the knowledge of the finality. 
 
 The three steeds with no color is Divinity, Infinite, 
 Equality. He who driveth shall be given the knowledge 
 of all that is. He hath no chariot, for his feet are winged 
 and beareth eternal time beneath them. 
 
 This is the great revelation that hath not been ful- 
 filled. And it cometh in a day and an hour when no man 
 looketh for it. The harvest will be golden. There shall 
 be no shadows of night. There shall be no curtains cov- 
 ering or shutting away that which shall be known. 
 
 This night I come unto thee with the words that tell- 
 eth thee that I have been given the Law of the Mystics. 
 I have served three years that it might be mine to give 
 unto thee within earth and thou must study it and learn 
 it that it may be yours. 
 
 I wouldst thee of the things of today only a little. 
 There are three divisions; one moveth toward the west 
 
 79 
 
and holdeth justice; one moveth toward the east and 
 holdeth ignorance; and one lifteth itself above and no 
 man can direct it save He who is the Divine Master. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. Marcus, what do you mean by the "Great Day?" 
 
 A. It is that which hath no night in it, no closing hours. 
 And when thou cometh to it thou shalt once more claim what 
 is thine and it is a vision of the eternal. 
 
 He says (Marcus): Thou hath often thought of me as he, 
 who with the trowel, buildeth the wall, and yet have I 
 not given thee a knowledge of all my building? And thou 
 putteth it together and knoweth it is strong and powerful, and 
 I have builded for thee from the beginning of the 7th Universe. 
 Sometimes a portion of it was outside the orbit of the earth, 
 sometimes it was in one habitation and sometimes in another. 
 But thou knowest every stone fitted together, and it was the 
 wall that protecteth thee as thou standest amidst all things 
 and, looking, thou knewest that thou wert safe. 
 
 When thou asketh of me I will say unto thee, that this 
 I have given thee is the first great consciousness of Egypt, not 
 as one spirit, but as the Spirit of Egypt. 
 
 Q. Will you explain this a little please? 
 
 A. The Spirit of Egypt, like the Spirit of a Nation, is com- 
 posed of that which emanates from Infinite Spirit, and which- 
 ever portion is strongest at one moment, it acteth it out. If it Is 
 strongest with finite, thru that which was the born intelligence 
 from the beginning, then it moveth according as that is. If it 
 cometh closer with the Infinite — the essence of the Great Cen- 
 tral Force — then it carryeth only a pure spiritualization. 
 
 Marcus says, you (Mr. G.) look thru finite, for you are 
 trying to hold your place within that which is form. When 
 thou finisheth it, then thou wilt look with the Infinite. 
 
 80 
 
Q. Will I get thru with that? (Mr. G.) Yes. Thru that 
 thou hast found intelligence and mentality and it hath given 
 thee a place within physical. Yet within it all was thine own 
 Infinite breath. 
 
 Q. Marcus* robes are gray this evening — what is meaning? 
 
 A. Because tonight at twelve the Grey Brotherhood take 
 their stand in a circle around all of the foreign powers. 
 
 It was written by the old prophet: "Who shall withstand 
 the armies of the Almighty." 
 
 81 
 
LESSON VIII 
 
 MARCUS— May 1, 1919 
 
 I, Marcus, must begin that we can put together for 
 you that you may know that those of us of the Seventh 
 Universe hold, as it were, ourselves together by the great 
 bond that is known as they who represent in every por- 
 tion of Infinite creation the knowledge of the Mystery or 
 Mysticism of the Seven. I have long known that the 
 time would come when I would give unto thee a strong, 
 true expression and that you would pass with me from 
 light to light and have no thought of anything ever being 
 created but what was in perfect accord with Infinite 
 thought, Infinite obedience and Infinite love. In the 
 creation of all great conditions there are many ages be- 
 fore the construction is begun, and you and I have always 
 known when it was and how long it would be before the 
 gfreat construction would be actually carried out. I took 
 upon myself a place within the earth long before you did, 
 and there are many of our Universe who have passed 
 from place to place carrying with them a knowledge of 
 what first produced the thought of the construction of 
 many things. I gave you a perfect consciousness of when 
 the foundation of the earth was laid, and yet the ages 
 that elapsed before it was commenced were many. To- 
 night I want to give you something with regard to the 
 first thought of the Electic Circle. Little is known with 
 regard to it, as the passing of the great seven's is what 
 surrounds it and shuts it away, and not until spirit is pre- 
 
pared to use, thru human mentality, a knowledge, can it 
 be given unto them. 
 
 There are fourteen sevens that comprise the Circle 
 that first held the thought of the construction of the Elec- 
 tic Circle. Ours was one of the seven; and there one of 
 the Bound Universe, one of the Free, one of the Thought 
 Universe, one of the Unit, three of the Therum and 
 three of the Uram. We all held ourselves very closely 
 in our relationship, for we knew that very great, indeed, 
 was to be the thought that could be placed and held 
 within such a circle. We knew it was to be a circle from 
 the formation of the wonderful condition that was to hold 
 the power of its creation. Human thought can encom- 
 pass Uttle of what it really was like, but I will place it 
 as best I can that you may have some thought of its con- 
 dition. 
 
 We were called together from out of the heights and 
 we stood facing the great circle out of which had come 
 the Unit Universes and they of the Circle beyond, mov- 
 nig like a tremendous mass of form, they swerved toward 
 the east, and then came and formed a half circle. It 
 was before the Spheres were created, and the Most High 
 God stood upon a tremendous pinnacle looking over the 
 great clustering of the 7's. The mystery of the thought 
 of the 7's is this: Unity of Infinite brings forth unity 
 of spirit. Within these words is the great key that will 
 unlock many times for you, this knowledge. And in the 
 silence it will come to you and you will know the mean- 
 ing of the symbol. 
 
 Seven times in holy obedience did we wait for that 
 which would come unto us, and the Most High God 
 closed the circle when he said unto all of us : "And thou 
 shalt form thyselves into what shall ever afterward be 
 known as the Circle of the Seven; and when thou hast 
 done this, thou shalt see lifting from out of it the power 
 
 83 
 
that shall supply anything that will be needed from now 
 on and shall be known as the Seven and the unexplained 
 thought of the mystic number. Difficult though it may 
 be for me, I will still strive to trace this thought for you, 
 and in it all you will recognize that Unity was the found- 
 ation upon which we placed the first consciousness of this 
 structure. 
 
 What was the Electic Circle for? That there might 
 be within it that which transcends and holds a perfect 
 thought for spirit until spirit shall claim it. What is the 
 Perfect Thought? — must remain for spirit to seek and 
 accept for itself. The Electic Circle is not what would 
 be known as simply a thread of light with projections of 
 light, but its movement is wondrous in many ways. 
 This movement always answers to the great Infinite con- 
 sciousness, and as spirit watches it there comes unto 
 them that which cannot be given in any other way. 
 From out of the Circle of the Seven as the formation 
 came forth, it had within it 27 great bodies of light; 6 
 were for the center and 21 for the Circle. Each one rep- 
 resented the intelligence and the consciousness of every 
 created thought that belonged to the Circle of the Seven. 
 The Uram gave that which came from beyond what the 
 thought of man has so far been able to grasp. The Unit 
 Universes gave that which held always a new unfold- 
 ment ; and within the Electic Circle this was placed ; for 
 every degree of light there came forth still greater de- 
 grees of light. If, after it was established, any great 
 substance required more intensity of consciousness, the 
 Electic Circle supplied it. The earth has never been 
 given the right to demand anything from it. In form, if 
 I give you its construction, it would be a wheel with 
 millions of spokes, each spoke revolving upon its own 
 axis, and the numbers of the outer edges of the wheel, 
 of which there are 21, acting upon their own axis. It 
 
 84 
 
gives you a very intricate description, perhaps, but with 
 thought you can understand me. 
 
 Upon what foundation is all spiritual form placed-^ 
 is, perhaps, a grave question with yourself, but in the 
 measurement and the composition of the ether lies the 
 power of sustaining, holding and controlling everything 
 that needs a foundation. And they of the Seven Circle 
 (Circle of the Seven) knew this and used it. 
 
 You may take in planet form, and there are millions 
 of planets outside of the earth's orbit and they ofttimes 
 rest upon a square of ether, clear as crystal, yet subject 
 to instantaneous dissolution if needful. This gives you 
 the thought that even amidst the great creations, there 
 was placed that which can be called a foundation. 
 
 The Electic Circle in the beginning, was formed for 
 the purpose of the purification of that which surrounded 
 it, for within it was drawn everything that did not move 
 as a perfect unit with that which surrounded it. I do 
 not mean by this the imperfections as placed by man 
 within physical, but as you take from out of the great 
 creations, portions, you will find that spirit must mold 
 it and place it and it always gathers an added strength by 
 passing thru such a process. 
 
 The Electic Circle was rested upon 21 great portions 
 of this ether and that you may become conscious of the 
 immensity of such a condition, I wish to say to you that 
 each stone measured three times the size of the earth 
 and its orbit, four times the height of it, and there were 
 21 of them. Giving you this thought leads you out into 
 the greater mathematical calculations, proving to you 
 the immensity that spirit can encompass in its thought; 
 but thru the mechanical formation of man's brain, there 
 are a few who can calculate in such a way, and not unless 
 you are prepared could it come to you in any way or 
 explain to you the full meaning of such an immensity. 
 
 85 
 
This brings us then to where the establishment of the 
 placing of numbers around the Electic Circle. Why are 
 they numbers? They are neither universes, worlds or 
 planets ; they are what are known to us as the Numbers 
 of Exthoidious, which means, a world within a world. 
 And they are numbered, and as there are the two condi- 
 tions in one, they are not placed as a universe or a planet. 
 The placing of these was for the purpose of holding all 
 spirit for any length of time that might want to utilize 
 greater powers than could be used within earth ; created 
 for earth they could claim this right and use it, but if they 
 did, they did not go to earth for that purpose, but went 
 into higher conditions. For example : They could go into 
 the Unknown Lands or into the Great Heavens or into 
 the High Heavens; they could even go into different 
 universes. This wonderful condition of spirit placed 
 them into such a pure atmosphere that they could not 
 bring it in connection with finite matter at any time, age 
 or condition. 
 
 The placing of these 13 great conditions was sur- 
 rounded each one by 14 circles of light. These circles of 
 light could hold any condition of form at any time. At 
 intervals great masters have placed the formation of the 
 seals for various planets, or even for the earth. In it 
 could be created cells for different things; and there 
 you will often find what was left after great impressions 
 were made of these; they never lost it, it remained the 
 same. 
 
 Outside of all that was the first placing of the Unit 
 Universes and they held that place for over three millions 
 of years; then they moved aside and the Electic Circle 
 remained then within the numberings for one million of 
 years; then it was left to move for itself. At that time 
 the great foundations were dissolved and out of it were 
 created over 50 millions of nebulae for them, the founda- 
 
 86 
 
tion had to draw from the Electic Circle a great con- 
 sciousness that had to be used for creative purposes. 
 
 In all this you find that no residue but what is per- 
 fectly complete and can be used any moment it is re- 
 quired. 
 
 I know as I come in touch with you that the grandeur 
 and the greatness to you seem almost beyond comprehen- 
 sion, but I wouldst that thou shouldst have a knowledge 
 as thou dost pass forth knowing that thou hast made 
 thy soul body as perfect as thou couldst; all this thou 
 wilt have learned and thou canst go and become con- 
 scious of it for thyself. All this holds within it what is 
 known to us as the great multiplicity of spiritual thought. 
 It is never laid aside and once in a while as the great 
 condition moves and there are those who hold within 
 the brain the height of the sensitive portion, it can find 
 an outlet. 
 
 While I held a place within physical life, it was long 
 before I could make myself realize that these things were 
 possible. But once or twice it was my pleasure to come 
 in contact with masters who could give me a conscious- 
 ness of these things. After I passed on I used them and 
 I felt that I had gained (if I may use the word) a manner 
 by which I had advanced and comprehended and used 
 with the strength of my spirit, this high degree of knowl- 
 edge. 
 
 Passing on still further I would like to give you a 
 thought with regard to the placing of what is known as 
 the Arch of the Almighty. This Arch is what holds, be- 
 fore the High Heavens, its place, and for every one who 
 gains a knowledge, it stands forth as one of the most 
 wonderful constructions possible to be placed by spirit. 
 
 Fourteen ages within the Seventh Universe we worked 
 upon one of its arches. There are 28 of them. It stands 
 out clearly defined with a background of gold and blue 
 
 S7 
 
— the symbol of which is, the holiness of the spirituality 
 of the Great Heavens. Within every Arch are 50 million 
 small particles of light placed together. That light is 
 held so precious that it is only when this was required, 
 was it brought into existence ; and in no other place in all 
 the great creations of the Father is there any portion of 
 it save here. ' This Arch measures over many millions of 
 miles, yet I say unto thee, many times every arch is 
 crowded filled full of the passing of infinite spirit. Over, 
 as if suspended in the atmosphere, is what is known as 
 the Wings of the Messengers. They are visible at all 
 times and they vary in 14 shades of white. Their move- 
 ment is like unto the movement of some great sweep. 
 The measurement of it, above the arch, would be accord- 
 ing to human measurement, about 1000 miles wide. And 
 it is often spoken of as the Wings of the Almighty. 
 
 This Arch rests upon what is known as the founda- 
 tions of the Great Heavens. This, to me, has never been 
 given with regard to its age or placement. I only know 
 that we of the Seventh Universe made one of the arches. 
 There are in all over 10,000 of us from the Seventh Uni- 
 verse who put it together and we put it together with a 
 breath of radiant light. I know you will think all this 
 tremendous in its expression, but I have done the best I 
 could so that you could comprehend me. 
 
 There are many other foundations, one of which was 
 the foundation for the physical sun that you use. It is 
 rotary in its form and is made completely of fragments 
 from nebulae that have been dissolved and entered into 
 other nebulae. It is susceptible only to the use of the 
 great discs of the sun. 
 
 The foundations for all great intellectual centers 
 w'herein any creation enters, that they may receive and 
 use always such an intellect, are only minor buildings as 
 yoii might say, although some are very, very perfect. 
 
But they of the Seventh Universe seldom ever complete 
 a formation, they usually place foundations or portions; 
 always it is known in the great creation as a portion of 
 the Seventh Universe, or the Mystic Seven. Seals hold 
 usually a conscious thought of our Universe and many 
 masters from our Universe carry these seals into great 
 conditions beyond which I, as spirit, have never pene- 
 trated. It has not been my portion to do. 
 
 Coming down into the earth thought of foundations, 
 you will find everywhere as the progress and develop- 
 ment of mentality goes on, that we of the Seventh Uni- 
 verse have had the power of placing not only the founda- 
 tions of many things, but also that within them we placed 
 that which permeated and held always an intelligent 
 thought, a thought that was conscious, moving in unison 
 with its age and holding the power of developing what- 
 ever it came in contact with. 
 
 The archway of what is known as the Heavens of 
 Earth forms a portion of our great construction. Con- 
 sequently, we placed them and they have always moved 
 perfectly, there has not been one single deviation at any 
 time to disturb the harmony of the movement of elements 
 or any force that came in contact with it. The weight 
 of such an arch is beyond measurement as far as anything 
 you have to measure with within earth. 
 
 One of the peculiar conditions with regard to this 
 construction is that it is in the shape of the triangle, yet 
 all who are studying in a human way, would say it is a 
 perfect circle. But it is not. The point of the triangle 
 rests upon the center of the earth and the arch of the 
 triangle supports the great dome of the heavens of the 
 earth. 
 
 There is in the center the High Heavens and at either 
 extremity of the half arch before it begins to form a per- 
 fect circle for the lower portion, is again another triangle 
 
 89 
 
and meets the point in the center of the earth, here are 
 situated many heavens of different conditions and for 
 different races. These, of course, hold seven that are 
 known of man. There are, however, seven more that 
 have not been explained. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. If 1000 years is a day, if I say a million years, then 
 put it in spiritual things, would bring it in the 365 billion years? 
 
 A. Yes. If you try to measure with thought, you will find 
 that you bring it down to a minimum which you can calculate 
 very readily if you choose, making a thousand years a day and 
 feel that you can encircle a day with one thought, that gives 
 you an opportunity to not become bewildered as you try to 
 calculate and bring into substance the higher thoughts. 
 
 The form of foundation as it separates itself would remind 
 you very much of a cloud dispersed with the sun, separating 
 itself and then as the light left it, collecting itself together. 
 That will give you some idea of the passing of foundations 
 into nebulae out of which can come creations. 
 
 Q. Why do they use nebulae for creations? 
 
 A. It expresses to you the idea of form for creation for 
 your earth there is the great nebulae and then there are much 
 smaller nebulae, one of which holds itself within the arch of 
 the heavens and into which is placed the great stars that you 
 call the Milky Wae. 
 
 A nebulae is always endowed with certain amount of crea- 
 tive power which has a method of attracting to it that which 
 can be formed into substance and become as you say, solidified, 
 condensed. 
 
 A nebula really can be so rarified that human vision could 
 not see it at all. There are many things that human vision 
 could not see and you really do not see with the human vision 
 at any time, it is only the focusing of spiritual vision thru finite 
 matter is what eye-sight really is. You could not see with mat- 
 ter because matter has not the power of sight; the senses of the 
 soul prepares the same condition in the aura of the brain as a 
 nebula would, only very small, and thru that the penetration of 
 
 90 
 
spirit comes and you say, I can see. If this intensifies and the 
 aura of the brain becomes overly sensitive then the spirit can 
 produce, thru human vision, what you call a higher sight and 
 then you can see what is called the invisible. 
 
 Q. Does this lesson belong to Egyptian history? Yes. 
 You were told to broaden and I am trying to assist you. 
 
 Q. Is there any such thing as spreading out too far in the 
 physical thought, Marcus? No, Sir. Do you ever think you 
 can do that? 
 
 Q. Could you become so conscious that you would not stay 
 with the physical any more? No. The only thing that would 
 separate spirit from the physical is when you have completed 
 the full spiritual experience of earth; then you separate from 
 the physical. That is the most natural separation that you 
 can get? Yes, Sir. Really, there is no separation, it is only a 
 certain transition, that is, you exchange one condition for an- 
 other — it blends into each other, just like you dissolve a nebula, 
 so you dissolve the body.

LESSON IX 
 
 MARCUS— April 17, 1918 
 
 ... I want to give you the Placing and the Explanation 
 that you have requested so often as to Why, under what 
 conditions and what was the origin and connection be- 
 tween the Seventh Universe and Egypt. 
 
 To be sure I must give you as closely as I can that 
 this may be a perfect history for you, and the best way 
 to give it is by describing scenes, places and personali- 
 ties. 
 
 The origin of the separating of higher masters into 
 rulers came about when thru the condition of the Great 
 Heavens many were called from out of them to take a 
 portion in the placing of all great thoughts that they held 
 direct with the Father. 
 
 The creation of universes to hold these masters was 
 one among the first great movements. 
 
 The numbering of them was absolutely a symbol of 
 the age thru which they would act and absolutely the 
 knowledge contained within them for certain ages. 
 
 The Seventh Universe marked the great Mystic Age 
 and held the tie between the Spirit of Egypt and the ma- 
 terial and physical body of Egypt. 
 
 Every habitation had to hold this great condition of 
 Egypt. 
 
 I began with you in the second habitation and tonight 
 I want to formulate for you something of a thought, ii 
 words can express it, with regard to the first habitation. 
 
 92 
 
In the creation of universes and their numbering, and 
 the placing of masters within them, only forms, as it were, 
 a fraction of the great thought. The placing of earth and 
 the calling together of earth-created-spirits, or they cre- 
 ated for earth, holds only a small portion of one age, and 
 that will give to the first Universe in its numbering, this 
 condition. 
 
 But when the Great Heavens were opened it was then 
 that the Hosts of the Most High came forth and unto 
 them always is given the placing of the foundations of 
 every creation. Out of the number came they who were 
 to formulate a portion of the Seventh Universe. When 
 I explain to you with regard to formless, it must be in 
 this way — that even spirit chooses no etheric condition 
 to form a semblance, for spirit viewed spirit as it was. 
 But in order that you may understand, I will place it 
 closer to human thought. The majesty of the Infinite 
 was supreme, the consciousness of spirit gleamed and 
 glittered like a great sparkling light, universe after uni- 
 verse clustered itself, rays above rays; it was not be- 
 cause earth was formed, it was not because this was one 
 of its habitations, it was because the great age in which 
 these creations were placed, was forming itself for the 
 history that should follow. Even then what would be 
 called the Egypt of the Formless was there, and in a. 
 way in which you can understand it, I will say it was a 
 city of the gods, for it held invisible light, a light that 
 the earth hath never had the power to attract. And in 
 the midst of it was the cloud that held the voice of the 
 Father. And thru this came, as it were, the first con- 
 scious placing of Egypt, and in this thought it meant the 
 Knowledge that should abide thru universe, thru time, 
 thru space and thru immensity. In this you must trace 
 out the highest thought that you possibly can. And in 
 this Knowledge they of the Great Heavens formed a 
 
 93 
 
part. Then it was that it was decided that each age in 
 which Egypt should be, should be counted, not only for 
 its knowledge, but for its form, for its mathematical dis- 
 tinction, for its wonderful history, for its royalty and for 
 its method of government. In this you will follow on 
 thru many ages and in this condition gleams forth the 
 highest condition of its magnificance and purity, for not 
 one portion of it in any way held aught else. If I should 
 describe it there are few words that would do justice to 
 it. Man has attempted in many ways to grasp the idea 
 and make something that would resemble it. 
 
 The first great condition of its Knowledge was that 
 •there should be within the space of form two great con- 
 ditions of Egypt ; one should be in the second habitation 
 of the material earth, and the third should be in the third 
 habitation of material earth. 
 
 The holding of this knowledge for every age should 
 have its origin in this time and place of the first habita- 
 tion. The manner in which this should be kept would 
 be between the Great Heavens and the High Heavens, 
 and if you search for the first Egypt that was established 
 you will find it there. 
 
 The movement of the universes was decided with re- 
 gard to it and up to the 14th Universe they were to pass 
 this wonderful condition of Egypt once in every five 
 thousand years. This placed the masters of the 7th very 
 close to the beginning of the great ages and I will say 
 for you, that the 7th Universe was the one that passed 
 in the 35,(XX)th age in the history of Egypt. This gives 
 you a plain thought with regard to its age. This leaves 
 you in the 7th Universe in the 7th Age of Egypt. 
 
 The Call from out the Great Heavens was made before 
 the establishment of the thought of earth, and the prepa- 
 ration was made to answer. And if human thought asks 
 
 94 
 
the question, your answer can be, that this is the Origin 
 of the Thought of Human Knowledge. 
 
 The formation of what was to produce the ideal of 
 man's knowledge was only placed when the 7th Universe 
 made its transit within the orbit of the first condition 
 of Egypt. Many times humanity has reared a structure 
 and considered they have established a limited time for 
 the division of many things, particularly the form that all 
 things must take; but the decision of the formation of 
 universes, planets, worlds and spheres was not made 
 until the 5th Universe entered the orbit of the first con- 
 dition of Egypt, looking upon Egypt as the point of 
 knowledge. 
 
 Unity formed the first great thought in the move- 
 ment of this Egypt, and in it was the perfect harmony 
 that has never been understood save by spirit alone. 
 When the Call was made that the earth should be, then 
 began the wonderful transition wherein the form of all 
 these conditions that had been created and understood by 
 masters of all universes began to be placed within the 
 outlines of the orbit wherein the earth was placed. 
 
 In the division among the masters as to what portion 
 should be their part to perform when Egypt should be- 
 come a portion of the second habitation, is where you, 
 within the 7th Universe, grasped, as it were, the great 
 Law that always has been within the 7th Universe. 
 There was strength, unity, method and the highest math- 
 ematical calculation possible for you to hold. Here it 
 was that the origin of the building of the Temple was 
 first begun, for had you not entered from out the Great 
 Heavens to the 7th Universe and had you not compre- 
 hended the knowledge of Egypt? And if age and time 
 according to human thought was what was needed, it 
 certainly had been given. Here it was that the estab- 
 lishment of a ruler for old predynastic Egypt originated. 
 
 95 
 
It did not come from precedent or from superior placing ; 
 it came thru the knowledge of the Flame Oath that was 
 given unto the first to hold control of Egypt within the 
 second habitation. There is no conscious word or 
 thought that can express the meaning of what comes 
 within that as it passes from the Father to the spirit. 
 
 Following within the creation of the cycle then did 
 they seek expression and form of spirit that they might 
 hold a place within Egypt within the second habitation. 
 
 Now I will follow down for you and say unto you 
 that old predynastic Egypt formed the first portion of 
 the habitation and was the foundation for all that fol- 
 lowed thru the ages of the known earth. Here the com- 
 prehension of form become, as it were, available for the 
 use of spirit in a marked degree. It grew more rapidly 
 than the third habitation has ever grown, on account of 
 the purity of its placing. 
 
 If I should say to you that Egypt was one city, I 
 would not express to you what it was. But old predy- 
 nastic Egypt covered a large area of the earth and within 
 it were seven large cities, larger than any habitation that 
 has followed it later. In this everything reached a won- 
 drous height of perfection. And there is no creation in 
 the third habitation that was any finer, more perfect and 
 more highly developed in the first habitation than it has 
 ever been in this. 
 
 The first great ruling power, as it were, was arranged 
 in different collections of personalities, not as a leader, 
 not as a power to rule, but as an equal conscious thought 
 giving forth knowledge. Naturally the masters from the 
 Great Heavens that had taken their place within the 
 universes, form the ones that could most easily do this. 
 There were many things to be overcome, such as in the 
 beginning of it, the reduction of immensity of form into 
 sufficient delicacy for the use of spirit. Many times spirit 
 
 96 
 
took upon itself the action and the development of all 
 this, but gradually as it grew into a more perfect rela- 
 tionship, it was easily accomplished. The interchange 
 of both visible and invisible bodies was not unusual. The 
 placing of material even into forms could be as readily 
 accomplished by masters who had no material bodies as 
 well as they who had chosen to use them. Their first 
 great form of worship was very simple, but very plain. 
 They worshipped in a unity of thought the Source from 
 whence they came. They utilized all the. forces and 
 powers of light, making them conform to whatever was 
 needful to be done with them. The language was most 
 pure in every way and could be used both silently and 
 otherwise. One of the highest conditions of their per- 
 fection was where everything moved noiselessly, it pro- 
 duced a more harmonious vibration and did not exclude 
 the finer sounds that were not discordant to the human 
 personality or physical condition. 
 
 I have something in regard to this that I would like 
 to tell you. 
 
 One of the great cities was named Othodoc ; it lay 
 within the great plains that you have never known of, 
 for the sea between you and the eastern continent lay to 
 the north and south, instead of to the east and west, and 
 this city was there. The magnificence of it was beyond 
 anything that earth hath held since. Every available 
 condition for comfort, ease and beauty was used. He 
 whose work it was to know that each one within that 
 large city was not only comfortable, but happy, was a 
 small-like form of a man, delicate and fragile. He had 
 descended from one of the great masters who called from 
 out the different universes they who were to succeed 
 each other. This one was from the Sixth Universe, and 
 here it is that you sought a consciousness that you might 
 have a realization of how high humanity could place the 
 
 97 
 
knowledge given unto them. With you were they whom 
 thou hast always loved and if I say unto you that the 
 bond of brotherhood within those of the 7th Universe is 
 very strong, I know you will understand me. The name 
 of this one was Pharaoh, but it was not pronounced as 
 it is at the present, but that you may understand, we will 
 leave it as it is. You came unto him and there were 
 seven of us together, and he asked us to remain some 
 time as he wished us to see this beautiful city.* We 
 went everywhere. The movement and the product of 
 what they created was one of the most marvelous pro- 
 ductions of the earth. Everything was produced by they 
 who worked with it in order that it might be as perfect 
 as they could make it. There was no question, no hurry, 
 no forcing, each one chose what they loved to do the 
 best and did it that it should be perfect. Among they 
 of his household were three who had come to him, not 
 in a physical way, but in the way of spirit. One was she 
 who had dwelt within the 6th Universe and thou hast a 
 slight knowledge of her. She held no physical form, 
 but an etheric body, and she went everywhere giving 
 forth her knowledge of what might form for them a 
 higher ideal of perfection.f 
 
 The other one was one who seemed to hold a con- 
 scious knowledge of the coming of the Divine Master 
 as she had come from the 9th Universe. And it was thru 
 her that the formation in the second habitation of the 
 Silver Brotherhood was placed. 
 
 Many there were among those who inhabited this 
 city that were found worthy to receive the Silver Corslet. 
 
 ♦Were these seven the Brotherhood of the 7th Universe? 
 Yes. 
 
 tWas she who afterwards was my sister in the physical? 
 Yes. 
 
And if you were taken into the great conditions that lie 
 beyond even the spheres, you would find them still wear- 
 ing the Silver Corslet. 
 
 The third one took a more human thought and held 
 a physical condition close enough that she might place 
 the knowledge of perfect form for they whose children 
 were to form the generation succeeding them. 
 
 In all this you must remember, if memory brings you 
 any thought, that there necessarily had to be places 
 where these instructions were to be received. They were 
 usually within open courtyards of the temple ; some- 
 times, however, they were in the big courts of the palace 
 of he who guided and controlled them. It was during 
 one of these great times that the first conscious expres- 
 sion of the Divine Master was made for them. To be 
 sure it had been many, many ages since the world, or 
 the earth as you called it, had been established, and if 
 any knowledge of mine can be given you, I would say 
 unto you that I cannot tell you how many times the 
 Divine Master had been to earth. This particular time 
 was noted for the supremacy for old predynastic Egypt. 
 It marked, as it were, its finality of earth. Just as at the 
 present the coming of the Divine Master marked the 
 finality of the age of the earth. 
 
 Many of course, were the things that followed even 
 that, as it has with you. But in this great event in which 
 you as spirit took part, there was this given that has re- 
 mained with me consciously, for I did not lose it even 
 when I chose a physical body, for as you know, it was 
 very close to the age in which the Divine Master made 
 his visit to the third habitation. He Appeared, is the 
 word that I can use. There was no heralding of His 
 coming. To be sure the purity of both time and condi- 
 tion was as harmonious as would be needed. And He 
 appeared. Throngs gathered everywhere to welcome 
 
 99 
 
Him and He went among those people. The number 
 of days that He remained in this one city was only five, 
 but during that time there was not one single personality 
 that did not greet Him in some particular way. Before 
 He was ready to go, you met with Him within the great 
 Hall of the one who was with you. Everywhere shone 
 forth the grandeur and the perfection and the harmonies 
 of both color and formation and architecture ; everything 
 available that knowledge could produce was there. But 
 the Master stood a simple, beautiful figure amidst it all. 
 He spake with you as He had done many times and His 
 words were these: "Thou hast reached, O Egypt, thy 
 place amid the higher conditions of My Father, time it 
 will take by which and thru which your people prepare 
 themselves that they may be not of earth." Many were 
 the questions asked Him and many were the answers 
 given. One that you asked I will give unto you. You 
 said unto Him : "Master, Thou knowest I build a Tem- 
 ple, Thou knowest its foundation and its place. Giveth 
 Thou unto me this thought — when in the finishing of it 
 all where will I find the most beautiful place for it?" 
 With a loving expression and a tenderness that belonged 
 unto Him, He said unto thee: "Master, thou shalt 
 know, for I shall call together they who shall have need 
 to worship within it. And when Mine earth hath felt 
 the glory of the Father, thou shalt see thy temple finished 
 and used." "For," He said, "knowest thou not that no 
 temple is worthy of they who entereth save that it hath 
 the glory of the Father within it." In this I am leading 
 you that you may become conscious of the wonderful 
 history and the meaning of Egypt. 
 
 Once again I came with thee into the third habitation 
 and among they who gathered with us in the palace was 
 one who was always known as Melchior, the Egyptian. 
 He was a master of the 14th Universe. He held the 
 
 100 
 
knowledge of the Double Mystic Cirdfe^^.H-jef it .A/r^S'' ^^Ko'. 
 knew when the coming of the Master would be and when 
 He would have to go to Jerusalem. And long he talked 
 with us with regard to those conditions that were to be. 
 He showed us the movement of the highest condition 
 possible where spirit, inculcated all movements with the 
 highest force that it is known to have. He was who 
 had great power he could hold a physical body inanimate 
 for hundreds of years. He could produce vital forces 
 and life within physical. And he was older than you 
 even. In appearance he was not wholly Egyptian, but 
 he had many of the wonderful characteristics of them 
 as far as form and looks were concerned. He chose many 
 times to go as a high potentate for as far as the wealth 
 of the world was concerned, he could command all that 
 he desired at any time. 
 
 All this, of course, formed a great condition and a 
 great thought within the material portions of the earth. 
 For if you will think a moment you will realize that all 
 this impression and symbol had to be placed in the 
 atmosphere that it might penetrate and place an influence 
 upon the atoms of the earth. It was during this condi- 
 tion that he gave to you, as a master, this thought, and 
 you will realize as you look back upon your portion of 
 physical life, the true meaning of what he told you. He 
 said: "You will seek physical life, but you will seek 
 no particular knowledge within it, but when knowledge 
 comes to you, you will drink it as you would drink the 
 waters of a fountain that is cool and clear and sweet. 
 Many will be the things that you will do. One of them 
 is, that we will give you a portion to hold wherein a 
 Disciple of the Father shall place a conscious thought."

- ^'; yV-J IQUESTIDHS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. The thought of human knowledge was the call of the 
 masters from the Great Heavens? 
 A. Yes. 
 
 Q. Do you mean this as a human condition or spiritual 
 condition? 
 
 A. I am making it plain enough for a human history. 
 
 Q. Do you mean that the knowledge of the Father as wc 
 can comprehend it thru the conditions of Egypt began as spirit 
 understood the Flame Oath from the Father? 
 
 A. Yes, Egypt represents Knowledge. 
 
 Q. Marcus, in all this, it seems to me as if you were only 
 repeating what has already occurred — is it so? 
 
 A. Yes, but I am weaving together the past history of 
 Egypt and placing it that it may be understood by they who 
 knew Egypt and holding the comparison for the present time. 
 
 Q. Was Melchoir created for earth? 
 
 A. No, he was created to hold a portion like a symbolical 
 placing within the earth, but he was not created to hold a physi- 
 cal body. He was created a Holy Master. 
 
 Q. Is that the name of the Holy Master that comes in 
 touch with us once in a while? 
 
 Yes, Melchoir and the Holy Master who comes here are 
 one and the same. 
 
 The Holy Master, like the Divine Master, had many con- 
 sciousnesses of earth? If you will stop and think, you will real- 
 ize that in spirit, that is a master, has a consciousness of earth 
 as many times as you are conscious of the coming of a new 
 day, if you chose to open your eyes and see it. You know 
 spirit often is called to go into heights and depths of conscious- 
 ness and knowledge that the earth could form no portion of in 
 any way, but as you are within the earth, as you are created 
 to come to earth, as you hold a great work within the earth, we 
 strive in this knowledge to place everything so that you can be 
 conscious of the meaning of the earth, its creations and its 
 placing. 
 
 102 
 
There had to be those great masters that were not created 
 for earth that were much older, to place these great thoughts 
 and laws? Yes, like a family where the older ones become 
 conscious first and then it is transferred to the younger ones. 
 One father, one family. 
 
 Marcus, says, you may call this: The Origin of the Knowl- 
 edge of Egypt. 
 
 Q. Predynastic Egypt is the knowledge that was brought 
 forth that was used then and placed for earth before there was 
 an Egyptian ruler? 
 
 A. Yes. The origin of all things, whether it be thought 
 or otherwise, is first within spirit form, then in ether form, then 
 in what you would call the embodiment of form, coming closer 
 and closer; and last but not least, comes the physical expression 
 of it. 
 
 Q. What represents the tie between the predynastic and 
 present Egypt? 
 
 A. The tie between the predynastic and the present Egypt 
 is the Conscious Thought. That, of course, never can be ex- 
 tinguished, because it has never been unconscious, it has always 
 been alive, vitalized and concious. 
 
 Marcus carries with him a small axe, it is not like anything 
 I have ever seen in the form of an axe; it has a wing like a half 
 moon and it comes down to a point and the wooden hammer fits 
 in the round part. It is highly polished. He says, they use 
 that in portraying force and power. It portrayed the thought 
 of force and power which they did not use in the second habita- 
 tion. It was the symbol of it. 
 
 His robes. He wears a very dark shade of green, with 
 glints of silver and red thru it. It represents Knowledge, the 
 birth and the holding of the every-present Knowledge. If I 
 should tell you that the origin of this robe was when our Uni- 
 verse first made its movement from out the great ether Circle, 
 where it felt that it was available for our use. Now do not 
 begin to calculate how long ago that was because I would 
 prefer to not tell you, for it would make you feel as if I was 
 one of the ancients. 
 
 Who created the 7th Universe? The masters, the seven 
 masters that came from out the Great Universe created the 
 7th universe. 
 
 103 
 
Q. Is that Great Universe where these masters come from 
 where the Great Brotherhood belongs? 
 
 A. Yes. If you utilize the knowledge that has been created 
 for spirit you will have reached a great height and will be able 
 to understand the meaning of the place wherein the Great 
 Brotherhood dwelleth. I know there are those who think they 
 understand how to reach even beyond their creation, but there 
 are depths and heights unexplored, and we, as masters, dearly 
 love to give you from time to time a leaf, a blossom, a thought 
 or even a promise that reveals to you what still is there for you. 
 I used to, when I had a physical body and a physical mother, 
 ask her to please allow me to make my way into the cellars 
 that they had because I knew I would find there what I did not 
 know was there. If you had seen me when I escaped from the 
 prison, you would have thought that I was more like some boys 
 than some others. 
 
 I hope you will be able to understand it for there was no 
 other way to tell this to you except the way I have.

LESSON X 
 
 MARCUS— July 9. 1918 
 
 Well, Marcus, what knowledge have you to give me 
 tonight? 
 
 There are many things, many things, and glad I am 
 that I can give it unto you, for thou knowest that it is 
 not only the words, but the meaning of them that liveth 
 so far above the thought of man ; and I wouldst give it to 
 thee that thou shouldst place thy memory that holdeth 
 itself within thy spirit and connecteth itself with thy 
 physical thought, that thou couldst follow out and read 
 the meaning of the many symbols that are within Egypt. 
 Tonight I want to tell you, for it is needful that thou 
 shouldst know, that three times hath they of the 7th 
 Universe stood and placed what was to be within the 
 foundations of the earth, and thou placed within the 
 Third Universe the knowledge that thou didst learn be- 
 fore thou Cometh into Egypt that was. And I wouldst 
 tell thee of the first establishment of the Mystic Circle 
 and how even, as spirit, thou must be prepared to enter 
 it. Thou knowest it hath been told about, and thou 
 knowest it was within the third habitation wherein they 
 called forth the Spirit of Egypt that it might give unto 
 them that which was to be within the future ages. So 
 I say unto thee that when the preparation was to be 
 made for the creation of the Mystic Circle, many and 
 great were the things that were brought together. 
 
 105 
 
First, there must be a Light, such as transcends all 
 other lights and it must come from the highest source 
 wherein the spirit could procure it, and it must be ever- 
 lasting and it must be worthy of that which is placed 
 within it. And there were fourteen masters; seven of 
 them came together from the North and seven of them 
 came from the South, within immensity. And the seven 
 that came from the North were divided, and three of 
 them came from the 7th Universe and three came from 
 the Vibrant Universe, and one came from the Universe 
 of Thought. 
 
 And there were seven from the South, three came 
 from the Universe of Color and three came from the 
 Universe of Immensity, and one came from the Universe 
 of the Circle. 
 
 And they came together wherein the great light pene- 
 trated and they stood within what is known as the Holy 
 Place and then they understood that they must be pre- 
 pared, and they cast aside the mantles they had worn 
 and they placed upon themselves white mantles lined in- 
 side with the color of gold, and around their neck they 
 placed the chain wherein were the golden stones. And 
 there they waited and they had no shoes upon their feet. 
 And when all was ready, they asked that there might be 
 given them the right to bring together this light that it 
 might form within the Temple of Egypt the Mystic 
 Circle.* And while yet they waited, there came unto them 
 one who was the Holy Master and he claimeth no portion 
 within the earth or without the earth, for he dwelleth 
 alone in the Holy Place. And he said unto them : "Thou 
 shalt be known as they who hold a place within the 
 brotherhoods of creation and thou shalt gather this light 
 
 ♦Is this the Temple of Egypt in the 5th Sphere? 
 Yes. 
 
 106 
 
together and thou shalt number it according to the num- 
 bers of thy mastership. And there were fourteen mas- 
 ters, and one master who came from the Circle Universe 
 said unto him: "I holdeth a mastership of 28." Then 
 he said : "Thy portion shall be divided into 28 portions 
 and thou shalt know that it shall form four times the 
 seven- (th) circle and four times it shall move ere thou 
 placeth thy one portion within the Circle." And another 
 said : "Master, I holdeth only a mastership of two great 
 conditions." And then he said unto him: "Thou shalt 
 make thy portion in two and one shall go to the center 
 and one shall follow the tracing of the Circle, but when 
 thou hast finished, thou shalt take thy portion and it shall 
 be one-half of the Circle." And one said: "Master, I 
 hold a mastership only of one great condition." Then 
 He said : "Thou shalt trace the circle with thy line of 
 thought and thou shalt make it even and thou shalt make 
 it perfect." 
 
 So according to each one they were given their por- 
 tion of the great light that they were to take unto 
 Egypt to form the Circle that should be known as the 
 Circle of the Great Mystic Light. And when they were 
 ready they each one covered their raiment with the rai- 
 ment they had worn when they came together ; and they 
 each went according to their place. They who were to 
 go to the center, went thither; and they who were to 
 go to the south, went thither. And the Holy Master 
 taketh within his hands a shuttle and within the shuttle 
 were two threads ; one was gold and one was silver ; and 
 he wove back and forth, and then the masters came to- 
 gether unto Egypt and they met within the great Tem- 
 ple, and they saw within the center of the Temple within 
 the room that had been prepared, a tiny weaving of 
 threads and then they began to place their Circle around 
 it and each portion was fitted and each portion belonged 
 
 107 
 
together and they folded and closed it and cemented it 
 and it became perfect thru truth and thru knowledge and 
 thru that which belongeth unto them from he who is the 
 Holy Master. Then it was that they must choose wno 
 should be the one who would first be able to see and 
 understand what cometh unto them within the Mystic 
 Circle. So there were seven chosen and seven times 
 the great movement of all their Universes did they wait 
 until they were made perfect enough to stand without 
 the Circle and then they chose the garments they should 
 wear and they were made of that which gave them a 
 mastership within their Universe. And unto them it 
 was given according to the Law of their Universe. And 
 the first that came unto them within the Mystic Circle 
 was a flame of light and it burned and it deepened and it 
 formed a smoke that rose high within the Temple and 
 disappeared and they knew that their Circle was blessed 
 by the influence of the breath of the Flame Oath. And 
 from that on each one, according to his place and his 
 mastership, went unto the Temple at Egypt and within 
 the Mystic Circle came they from great heights, greater 
 heights than even you of the 7th Universe hath any 
 knowledge of. And some brought them the knowledge 
 of life such as was to be and such as had been.* And 
 many understood not the symbol thereof. And many 
 there were who questioned one with the other. 
 
 Thou and I were among they who were to come last 
 and thou saith unto me: "How long thinkest thou we 
 shall wait?" And I said unto thee : "I know not." But 
 we waited until the 7th day at the 7th hour and then we 
 went unto the Temple, and they showed us a great pillar 
 and upon the pillar was a flame and beneath the pillar 
 
 ♦What kind of life? 
 Eternal life. 
 
 108 
 
was an arch, and it was lifted high above the Mystic 
 Circle and it was lowered beneath the Mystic Circle, and 
 the symbols there upon it were plain and clear. And 
 thou saith: "What thinkest thou?" And a loud voice 
 spake unto us: "These are the symbols that shall be 
 used by they who shall dwell in Egypt when it shall be 
 within the earth, and from out of it shall be taken that 
 which shall form the language and the words for every 
 known race that shall be upon the face of the earth." 
 And the pillar was covered over, while yet we looked 
 upon it, with a veil of light, and thou saith : "Why cov- 
 ereth they the words that shall be for men?" And the 
 same voice spake and said unto thee : "Thou art a mas- 
 ter of the 7th Universe. Thou hast builded well. Why 
 asketh thou this?" And yet again the voice spake unto 
 us and it said : "The words of man shall be covered and 
 they shall not be understood, but when the veil of men- 
 tality is lifted, then shall they be full of spirit." 
 
 Then they showed us a high mountain iind upon the 
 top of the mountain was a pillar white like unto snow 
 and it melted away and from it flowed forth a rapid 
 stream of clear water. And I saith : "What is the mean- 
 ing?" And there came one who saith: "It is that 
 which shall heal and shall bless wherever thou goest, 
 thou who art one of the 7th Universe." 
 
 And again they showed us a wonderful circle and 
 within it was a cycle, and it grew and there came forth 
 many from out of it. And the last that came out of it 
 were three ; one was clothed in white, and one in blue 
 and one in orange. And thou saith: "Who art they?" 
 And the voice answered and said : "One shall establish 
 the White Brotherhood, one shall establish the Blue 
 Brotherhood, and one shall establish the Orange Broth- 
 erhood ; and the first shall be last and the last shall be 
 first. For he who is the Orange Brotherhood that com- 
 
 109 
 
eth forth last shall be the first to unloose the unconscious- 
 ness of all things. And he who cometh first shall hold 
 the place of purity and that shall be for He who marketh 
 the ways of man. And he who was to be known as the 
 Blue Brotherhood shall hold for the last days the spirit- 
 ual mentality of man." 
 
 Then they showed us a circle and within the circle 
 was a dark spot and the dark spot grew and moved and 
 pushed itself thru clouds of smoke, and it remained that 
 way until around and about it shone many points of 
 light, and then thou saith: "It is that which is to be, 
 that which must be created upon whom must be placed 
 a weight and a shadow until the light breaketh thru."* 
 
 Many were the things that were to be done and we 
 went our way from out of the palace and we sought out 
 he who was to have come with us. And thou saith when 
 we cometh into the quiet of our own dwelling: "I 
 wouldst that Imhotep shouldst know these things that 
 he might make a record of it." And I said unto thee: 
 "Lookest thou upon thy robe." And all things that had 
 been shown us, and the meaning of it, were upon thy 
 robe in gold and silver figures. And thou didst call unto 
 thee a messenger and thou didst say : "I wouldst that 
 thou shouldst go and when thou findest Imhotep say 
 unto him I needeth him." And he went his way and 
 Imhotep came unto thee and thou saith unto him : "Make 
 thou a record." And thou tookest off thy robe and spread 
 it upon the floor and Imhotep began to make a record 
 according to the way that he knew. And when he had 
 finished there was only an imprint here and there of what 
 had been upon thy robe. And then Imhotep said unto 
 thee: "What wouldst thou have me do with this?" And 
 
 ♦Was this the earth? 
 Yes. 
 
 110 
 
then thou saith unto him : "I wouldst that thou shouldst 
 go with me, and Marcus, remaineth thou here, keep thou 
 a guard, for I wouldst leave my robe with thee." And 
 thou puttest on a grey robe and thou girt thyself around 
 and about with many stones of white, blue and orange 
 and green and purple and thou foldest within thy bosom 
 all the colors in a large roll and we went our way unto 
 the 7th Universe, and thou went into the Universe and 
 thou saith unto the master therein : "I wouldst leave 
 this here until the time cometh when I shall ask of thee 
 that thou giveth unto me of this knowledge that it shall 
 be known among they that I shall dwell among." And 
 he laid it away even unto the roll that was within thy 
 bosom, and thou didst wait until once more within the 
 physical thou didst say unto me : "What givest thou me 
 of the knowledge of Egypt that hath been not according 
 as earth, but according as it is within the Great Heav- 
 ens?" And when thou comest unto me again thou saith 
 unto me : "Marcus, who cometh unto thee in the third 
 hour?" And I said unto thee: "There cometh unto me 
 a woman and she was veiled and she giveth unto me no 
 name but she said to tell thee that when thou sought in 
 the age the knowledge of the Divine Master, that she 
 would come unto thee as spirit and thou wouldst know 
 her, for she would bear for thee a message that would 
 have within it many of the colors that thou didst 
 place within the 7th Universe, and she left for thee this 
 circle." And within the circle were three rings. The 
 first ring was made of gold and the second was of silver 
 and the third was of iron; and that which held it to- 
 gether, the outer ring, was of ether. And thou saith unto 
 me: "How can I carry this with me?" And I said unto 
 thee : "If thou wilt place it within the etheric ring thou 
 wilt always have it when thou needest it." And when 
 thou came unto the physical of earth thou didst choose 
 
 111 
 
thine etheric body and around and about it thou placed 
 the knowledge that was within the etheric ring with its 
 three circles, gold, silver and iron — Light, Purity and 
 Truth. And thou hast often said- unto thyself : "Where 
 lieth the great city of Egypt that thou tellest me of?" 
 I say unto thee it lieth 20 leagues to the west of the 
 Great Heavens, and it lieth 20 leagues from where the 
 orbit of the great Star is which thou callest the North 
 Star; and it is 20 leagues beyond the light of the High 
 Heavens; and it is 20 leagues above the great Nebula. 
 And thou must count a league equal to one millions of 
 miles according to human knowledge. Then thou wilt 
 know where the great City of Egypt that I have told 
 thee about lieth, and it holdeth within it a knowledge 
 that is not reflected, neither will it be reflected until the 
 great day. And when thou thinkest that this spirit came 
 together and this master cometh together and they giveth 
 thee many things, and thou hast much food for thought, 
 but they bringeth not unto thee what I bringeth, neither 
 telleth thee whither thou should go and from whence 
 thou hast come. And if thou thinkest thou wilt know 
 that many of the symbols that thou hast laid away within 
 the 7th Universe hath been given unto many masters 
 and they bringeth the symbols that beareth within them 
 a great truth. 
 
 Then I wouldst tell thee of the great day and all of 
 the city were gathered together for there was to come to 
 them He who was the Son that was to be. And He came 
 unto them and He told them of the Father's decree and I 
 said unto Him: "Yea verily, it is wise," and He went 
 His way. And there came unto them thv» Son of the 
 Father and He saith unto them: "I wouldst give thee 
 My Father's Law." And they said: "It is wise." And 
 He said unto them: "I wouldst give thee My Father's 
 Law, that is, that thou shouldst hold thy great knowledge 
 
 n2 
 
until it is demanded of thee.'* And the third came unto 
 them and he was the Son of the Father ; and he said unto 
 them : "I giveth unto thee a pure knowledge of divinity 
 and thou shalt hold it and protect it and when thou seeth 
 the great towers of the Temple that shall rise above, 
 gather it together and give it unto they who are the High 
 Priests of thy Temple and say unto them that they shall 
 take it unto the great land that lieth beyond even the 
 Great Heavens, and there they shall place it within the 
 Temple that shall be builded that shall have many arches 
 and many ways for all to enter and they who are the 
 spirits of they who shall be created for that which shall 
 be called the earth, shall stand within it and they shall 
 understand the Law of Divinity. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. How large is this city? 
 
 A. The city measureth one cubit to the north and two 
 cubits from that point to the south, and to the east it is four 
 cubits and to the west it is four cubits. That encompasses the 
 portion which surrounded the Temple. And beyond it where 
 the hills and valleys lie, there is a circle of five cubits. Meas- 
 ureth thou it? 
 
 Q. What is a cubit? 
 A. Five hundred miles. 
 
 Q. Then the city is not square is it? 
 A. No. 
 
 Q. Why was the Mystic Circle created at that time? 
 
 A. They had to bring in much of the higher knowledge. 
 Did I not tell thee that it was brought from the heights where 
 the penetration must be given to those who must follow out 
 and receive it, and he who receiveth it within the 7th Universe 
 until it shall be called.

LESSON XI 
 
 MARCUS— January 3, 1919 
 
 We laid aside for a little while the thought that we 
 would give you and tonight we must take it up, for we 
 must fill full for you the great consciousness that belongs 
 to the past. And beginning with it, as I shall, it may 
 give you many thoughts, but thru the memory of spirit 
 do we produce for man that stronger tie that eventually 
 reveals to him, not only what has been, but is placed in 
 the future. Traversing as we will from the Egypt that 
 was to the Egypt that earth must hold, entering into the 
 third dynasty after the establishment of the spiritual 
 reign of the first Pharaoh of which thou knowest. We 
 must make it all as human as possible that you may carry 
 the line of thought correctly. 
 
 As you know, form held a predominate and great pro- 
 portion, but considering the habitation of Egypt, it had 
 been reduced sufficiently that spirit controlled in a higher 
 and greater proportion than elsewhere within a radius 
 of many thousands of miles. There had been an estab- 
 lished connection between the Chaldean nation, the Assy- 
 rians, the Nubians and a portion of an extinct race that 
 was very small that connected lower and upper Egypt. 
 This race was known as a fraction of the Aryans, but 
 only once in a while were they visible to the Egyptians 
 in either portion of their country. They hcl^ this place 
 in order that etheric bodies should be utilized from time 
 
 114 
 
to time. The establishment of the first great proportion- 
 ing for their temples had to be accomplished.* So far no 
 knowledge had come to the form of man to subject 
 animals and place them under control. Here it is where 
 the great Udan race produced the first great thought for 
 this power to be used. Several of their magicians, as 
 Egypt called them, were brought that they might pro- 
 duce especially among what you term horses a subjuga- 
 tion for use. It is needful that I should ti\ke you with 
 me very closely in this thought for here it is that the 
 first great condition of what afterwards became the will 
 of man is brought about. Magicians, in the days of the 
 third dynasty, were masters that understood the intellect 
 of the animal kingdom, this intellect being held in subjec- 
 tion by the forces of unseen light which was the power 
 they used to place them under control. Egypt also had 
 no particular knowledge at this time of light forces or 
 even sun rays. They had this all to learn in order that 
 they might be able to begin placing their temples under 
 construction. It is here where the masters of the 7th 
 Universe brought about these conditions. I have told 
 you with regard to the great pyramid and its placing, but 
 tonight I want to tell you something with regard to the 
 majestic buildings that were builded of wood and stone 
 combined. Here it is where the plans of the 7th Universe 
 began to show what they can do in using the reflection 
 of what is in the Universe. The production and the re- 
 flection within this habitation, which was the third, is the 
 one great condition that never has been explained either 
 scientifically or otherwise. But in the transition of all 
 atoms within the earth there is always known to be a 
 certain polarization of force which holds within it that 
 
 ♦Their bodies? 
 Yes. 
 
 US 
 
which can replenish and produce a recovering or a re- 
 planting whenever it is needful. This will explain to you 
 the great thought of how the earth can be replenished. 
 Unto us was given the right to build four great temples. 
 One was to lie to the south of the great pyramid, and it 
 was then we called upon the Hettite and the Chaldean 
 races to bring unto us the different woods to be placed 
 with the stones. Here is your first great symbol. The 
 woods and the stones were to be laid alternately and 
 bound together with the metal of the earth, beginning 
 with the first condition of iron in its natural conaition, 
 following with copper, combining them with malachite, 
 which is a metal that after being congealed by the mo- 
 tion of the earth, produced what is known as quartz. 
 Then it becomes pulverized and the sands of your desert 
 become, as it were, another formation of it. Iron you 
 know represents truth and upon it we laid the first 
 formation of wood, which was teakwood, perfectly black. 
 This represented the combining of the foundations of the 
 earth with truth, and the shadow of the earth, which 
 was to hold always the knowledge of Egypt until the last 
 transition.* The next placing was the clear stone which 
 belonged to Egypt alone, that was connected with what 
 is known as the amberwood which the Hettites brought 
 from the far-off isle of the sea. Science has never seen 
 it as it only grew for this purpose of which I tell you. 
 It was bound together with the clear stones with the 
 copper, which is the symbol of the holding of earth, 
 water, air and light together. Upon this we erected five 
 great stones that stood at a height of 300 feet, from the 
 top unto the base was covered with the hieroglyphics 
 representing the Laws of the 7th Universe, the Laws of 
 
 ♦What is the Shadow of the Earth? 
 Mentality; physical mentality. 
 
 116 
 
the 8th Universe, the Laws of the 3rd Universe, the 
 Laws of the Unknown Lands and the Laws of the Great 
 Heavens. These were covered with what was known 
 at that time as the filings of silver which were produced 
 by grinding within stone receptacles and they adhered 
 to the stone by the power which man afterward hath 
 given the name of gravitation. These five great pillars 
 of stone represented, without the symbols, the knowledge 
 and the consciousness of the five great Gods that Egypt 
 afterwards worshipped as people. The first is known to 
 you as the Most High God ; the second is known to you 
 as the God of the Universe ; the third is known to you as 
 the Lord God Almighty; the fourth is known to you as 
 the God of the Hosts ; and the fifth is the Sun God or the 
 God of Light and Power and Movement. These were 
 placed by, not only the Hettites and Chaldeans, but 
 Abyssinians, Nubians and Egyptians. The Aryan race 
 exhausting the use of their etheric bodies, placed upon 
 these great stones the silver coating over the symbols. 
 That finished their work for earth at that time. While 
 we were there drawing by reflection the impression upon 
 the things within that portion of the earth, it was needful 
 that we should hold around us all they who were masters 
 of the 7th Universe. Among them is one of which you 
 have never known. He was a master who came from 
 out of the Universe of Light. He had fulfilled his mis- 
 sion in the Holy Places and when Egypt needed a knowl- 
 edge of light, he came with us and within this dynasty 
 he taught, and I produced, by movement, and you, by 
 thought, the knowledge they required. 
 
 Let us at least understand that all this will some time 
 hold a place wherein you can look upon it and understand 
 clearly my explanation. 
 
 Thousands of years afterwards one of the Pharaohs 
 who had a slight knowledge handed down to him, strove 
 
 117 
 
to once more reproduce, but it was only a failure in many 
 ways, for there were not the same elements of either 
 thought, movement or light to hold long enough to place 
 upon the material the impression required. 
 
 After this was all complete, this formed a perfect 
 square with the four great stones and the one in the 
 center. Here it was that the peoples of Egypt gathered 
 together for instruction, worship and knowledge. The 
 first Pharaoh, with a spiritualized thought, had left suf- 
 ficient for them to arrange a form of worship, and it was 
 like unto this. They came in what was known as num- 
 bers up to 1200, entering thru the south entrance of this 
 temple and forming 12 rings around the center pillar. 
 Here they repeated in unison this form of prayer, as you 
 call it today : "Give unto us who call upon you, a knowl- 
 edge of thy light that we may reproduce upon the earth 
 a reflection of what we have known." Upon the top of 
 this wonderful towering stone would flash a light and 
 they knew then that they had come close enough to 
 understand and that they were understood. They would 
 then pass out of the north entrance of the temple. On the 
 east side of the temple was a place reserved for the reign- 
 ing Pharaoh. Here is where we must give you a knowl- 
 edge of what produced this Pharaoh as a Ruler. When 
 the great division into spirit was arranged that the earth 
 should have nations, Egypt was the first nation to divide 
 according to its knowledge that there should be one that 
 would lead them and when the spiritualization of the 
 form for their nation took place, they used this knowl- 
 edge and gave to the physical being of one a right to 
 lead and control them. In this you see the great symbol 
 of leadership of spirit that hath been given the right of 
 absorption of higher and holier thoughts. The west side 
 of the temple was reserved for all who were known to be 
 able to come in touch with the God of Light or the great 
 
 118 
 
master who was with us, and it was here that we were 
 wont to gather together. There were seven of us and 
 among the number was the Spirit of the Earth who was 
 afterwards claimed by the Jews as the god they wor- 
 shipped. Many times have I seen you hold before your 
 own thought these great things and question whether 
 they belonged to a reality or whether man was founded 
 upon a nothingness and passed into nothingness.* But 
 out of the great thought of the Infinite, the Spirit came 
 unto you and proclaimed the knowledge of the past, 
 blending together the scientific thought of light, move- 
 ment, vibration and unison, and spiritualizing it with the 
 higher forces, making it a fact by which human mind 
 can accomplish a realization of its existence. The divi- 
 sion of male and female was equal and divided according 
 to the knowledge of the spirit of light, who were — the 
 Spirits of the Earth — brought about what would be after- 
 ward known to man as the equality of form and the 
 purity and the strength of spirit. This first condition in 
 Egypt was the highest realization that human form has 
 had within this last habitation. You will find among 
 some of the old hieroglyphics of Egypt this form and the 
 symbol represents this division of male and female. It 
 is a cartouch with two prongs and a wavy line and over 
 it is a hawk. Some have interpreted this as the cartouch 
 of the 28th dynasty, but that is not correct. It was the 
 first symbol erected in the 3rd dynasty in the 3rd habita- 
 tion and represents the division of male and female form. 
 
 The ruling of the peoples and the guidance was sepa- 
 rated equally between the two and the female of this 
 reign was known as the Anquodes, which means the pure 
 division, and there is where the great symbol of the two 
 
 *Was this when I was an atheist? 
 Yes. 
 
 119 
 
prongs forming what is known in the old worship of 
 Egypt as the "Tonghue," and here is where you will find 
 the origin of Upper and Lower Egypt, Upper and Lower 
 Nile. There were three other great masters from the 
 7th Universe ; one must produce the seal for Egypt which 
 is a round disc with the head of the Pharaoh and the 
 serpent coiled at the bottom. The first one was made 
 of pure copper and burnished until it reflected every- 
 where. The master who brought this forth was known 
 in the 7th Universe as Amoskue. He afterwards, in order 
 that you may understand, took a physical body and was 
 the first to place any such thing as a rule in Russia. 
 There is where it gets the name. The next one, or the 
 second, was known as Kulaiex; it was he who brought 
 the first form unto Egypt as to how they could plant and 
 reproduce from the earth, from seed. He gathered to- 
 gether from out of the planet Ryx this knowledge and 
 brought it to earth and the first grain that was sown in 
 Egypt was sown at the north tower of the temple and 
 reproduced grain in five hours according to your count- 
 ing. This was done in order to show what could be 
 done, and it was done thru the reflection of light and 
 air, as I have told you that the movement of great stones 
 was done likewise. Man today calls it the holding of 
 electricity in the metals. Egypt called it the great power 
 of light and air. The next one of the masters from the 7th 
 Universe was known as Theodusbey, he afterward be- 
 came a ruler in Persia and ruled in the year 164 B. C. He 
 brought to Egypt the first great knowledge of using the 
 spun threads of three of the creatures that the earth held. 
 One was a small animal that abounded in Lower Egypt 
 and had a way of working like unto a spider except that 
 it wove a small cacoon of colors gathering from out of 
 the tree points the pulpous fibre it spun what it did. 
 These colors were then conveyed and utilized with the 
 
 120 
 
spider's thread and the action of the small worm which 
 afterwards was reproduced in other countries as the silk- 
 worm. This master gave them the knowledge of weav- 
 ing together cloth with colors ; he also brought from out 
 of the planet Saturn the impression that was within the 
 earth atoms from Saturn the coloring of minerals and 
 upon stones. All this work was not accomplished in a 
 few days. This dynasty existed 4560 days and seven of 
 us held an etheric body for that length of time. Here 
 is where I must give you my knowledge of the use of 
 these etheric bodies. They were pure because we had 
 brought them from out of our Universe, but in coming 
 in contact with the movement of the earth and the use 
 of material action in which we had to come in contact, 
 began to prove to us that they were exhaustible. This 
 will explain to you why spirit must use more than one 
 etheric body. 
 
 While the Pharaoh reigned and the development of 
 the people grew very rapidly under his guidance, there 
 was no dissension, no lack of what the earth today would 
 term as miracles. One of the great thoughts I wish to 
 convey to you is this: there was no deformity, there 
 was no disease; there was nothing to impair the use of 
 these forms refined for the use of spirit, and not until the 
 movement which is known to us of the 7th Universe 
 as the contrawise movement of the earth did any of these 
 things exist for man. And it began after the 12th 
 dynasty in this great age of which I am giving you an 
 account. Here it was that you and I learned the effect 
 of the movement of atoms thru great bodies and refined 
 bodies. It was here that we watched the movement of 
 great bodies that held neither soul nor spirit, and it was 
 here we learned the movement of refined form of bodies 
 that held a soul — and was controlled by spirit. In the 
 upper portion of the hemisphere in order that you may 
 
 121 
 
understand, one of the great miracles of that age was 
 this : there were forms of what you would call men that 
 were tremendous in height and breadth — this was pro- 
 duced by the reflection of infinite form that spirit created 
 as it came within the tangibility of different universes. 
 This symbol is often reproduced as mountains and great 
 elevations, strive to reproduce thru reflection the forms 
 in many of the Illumined Worlds. 
 
 1 have given you a very hard lesson, one that will 
 require great thought. 
 
 Now let me explain how the refining into form was 
 produced. All of the great divisions of Infinite Spirit 
 understanding the Law, began to reduce the power of 
 reflection within earth upon atoms, and atoms began to 
 seek a place closer within the center of the earth. This 
 gave the outer atoms that moved into form a fuller real- 
 ization of the movement of the earth, and the earth began 
 to make a more rapid movement within its orbit. This 
 congealed still more the closeness of the atoms and this 
 is what produced a more refined form which could hold 
 a clear reflection of infinite form of spirit. The second 
 great thought of miracle within Egypt was when form 
 demanded from out of the growth of the earth that 
 which should sustain it. At first form connected with 
 spirit had no need of such sustenance or substance as the 
 air gave it all it required ; but the masters who were with 
 us, understanding that the time would come when they 
 would have need to use what the earth held, began to 
 place within the action of thought, the knowledge of 
 sustenance. There was also a manner used by which the 
 atmosphere was congealed bringing forth what is known 
 as the manna which the Israelites gave a record of. It 
 was gathered very early in the morning and was clear 
 and jelly-like in form, about the size of a small pebble ; 
 this was partaken of once a day. Then came the utiliza- 
 
 122 
 
tion of the grains and the fruits in order that there should 
 be sufficient liquid from the fruits utilized with the grains 
 and produce within this refined form the substance where- 
 by the body would be supported perfectly. This is the 
 first miracle that was known to them where bone be- 
 came an absolute produced substance. Then came the 
 miracle where blood was to be produced within the body. 
 The first of this, as you know, came from the atmosphere ; 
 then that it might be still more congealed, they were 
 taught the use of partaking of bird from those creatures 
 that were within the air. Later on within the 4th, 5th, 
 6th and 7th dynasties they were taught as each age pro- 
 duced the demand, the use of animal food. This is your 
 consciousness of Egypt at this time and this gives you an 
 explanation of the first great production whereby the 
 present form of man demands what it does and how it 
 can exist. Many and great were the things that were 
 accomplished by those of us of the 7th Universe and the 
 knowledge whereby the transferring over water, thru 
 air and beneath the sea was left for the 9th, 11th and 13th 
 dynasties. You might question how many years this 
 was. I say unto you that it covered a period of 50,462 
 years. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. Why was it condensed into that period of time — is there 
 any particular reason for that? 
 
 A. Yes, because of the knowledge of the 5th Universe and 
 the five great pillars of stone. 
 
 Q. Is there any other symbol in connection with it? 
 A. Yes, if you will study the different dynasties you can 
 see what I mean by the fold of the spirit. 
 
 Q. Why is it that the masters of the 7th Universe have 
 so much to do with putting these things together? 
 
 A. It belongs in the building. These are the foundations 
 upon which man begins to build and understand the Father. 
 
 123 
 
Do you not know it was told you that the Great Brotherhood 
 would bring you a knowledge of the unknown things? 
 
 Q. I would like to know who gave the Jews the right to 
 choose the Spirit of the Earth and then man to hold it as his 
 guidance instead of the Father? 
 
 A. This is the key to the inharmony of atoms that pass 
 thru the body who can claim only the right to worship that 
 which holds it together, and the Jews, as a nation, represent 
 that which holds the atoms together. 
 
 Q. What is this — what name can you give us so we may 
 understand? 
 
 A. It is their knowledge of the Spirit of the Earth and 
 that is what they have given you. 
 
 Q. The Jews are the last ones to finish, then when it is 
 finished, does that dissolve the earth? 
 A. Yes. 
 
 Q. It says in the Bible, that they shall be dim of vision — 
 what does that mean? 
 
 A. Can you see save with the Infinite Spirit? That will 
 give you a clear thought that only thru the ether of the soul 
 can the spirit give vision while in physical being. If it were 
 given a perfect vision, then physical would not hold either the 
 soul or the spirit. 
 
 Q. What do the Jews hold, the something that stands for 
 the purpose for which we have a soul? 
 
 A. They hold etheric form, just the same as the atoms 
 hold, as they pass from out of the physical body. 
 
 Q. Who creates the etheric form? 
 
 A. When you have a knowledge given you of they who 
 are masters of the planets, that gave unto the atoms the power 
 of holding together a reflection of spirit form, that man hath 
 no way by which to separate it from others, then you will 
 understand. 
 
 Q. Is the Jew then in a sense planetary? 
 
 A. Yes, until their work is finished, then will begin the 
 great work of creation for them. They have never created as 
 yet; they have always held but never created. 
 
 124 
 
Q. You know Living Thought told us that gold is what 
 will dissolve all else and then gold will be as easily dissolved — 
 does he mean by that that the principle the Jew holds — because 
 he wants to get gold? 
 
 A. No, because you know the gold they get is alloyed, it 
 is not pure. The gold that is pure represents the Divine Spirit. 
 How can any one hold it together? Can you not read the 
 symbol on it that as light shines everywhere it is golden, and 
 it holds the softness of thought and penetrates and yet hath 
 the power to lead out as light leadeth? 
 
 I give unto you much food for thought as thou knowest 
 all words of the spirit must be interpreted one at a time; not 
 together. 
 
 Q. Is that the reason why we are not given all knowledge 
 at once because the brain would be submerged? 
 
 A. Take the symbol of the submerging of the earth, the 
 material portion of it, and you can recognize why, as spirit, we 
 must give only what the material can stand. 
 
 Q. According to the interpretation, it is claimed that the 
 earth hath been submerged by water and it will be submerged 
 by fire — what is the meaning of that thought? 
 
 A. The inflow of the ether which is spirit, consuming with 
 its intensity, the formation of material; not thru sensation, but 
 thru breath, as naturally as man consumes the oxygen within 
 the air and it is replenished by its own movement.

LESSON XII 
 
 MARCUS— February 6, 1919 
 
 So many, many things force themselves into the great 
 consciousness that I find myself very many times trying 
 to separate them that you might have all that I can bring. 
 
 Our Universe, as you know, has to hold much that 
 supplies the foundations for everything, and if I should 
 say to you that this must be for you a tho\ight wherein 
 the consciousness of light was produced that thru it 
 might follow a higher knowledge, law must be placed 
 for a fulfillment, but light must be everywhere. 
 
 Within our Universe many great conditions were 
 established ; long before the earth was, and I am striving 
 to impress upon you the thought of these great crea- 
 tions. 
 
 In the organizing, or forming, of any great plan there 
 has to be, according to spirit, not a beginning as you 
 would call it, but a fulfillment ; and in this lesson I would 
 express to you the consciousness of the first great age 
 which was created within our Universe. 
 
 Let me place it for you in this way. — We had held 
 all great conditions and it also held all ethers that were 
 needful. Now we proceed to utilize this under three 
 laws. 
 
 The first law is the purpose of creation, and in and 
 thru it we use Infinite Ether. 
 
 The second law is the division into fractions where 
 movement takes up its power and the law is this: No 
 
 126 
 
movement of spirit has within it aught save a fractioniz- 
 ing for the purpose of the intensifying of Infinite Ether. 
 
 The third is where ether takes up and is held for the 
 purpose of creating of units. These units must have 
 for a foundation the substance known as fluidic light. 
 
 Fluidic light is not as you in the physical think of 
 fluid; fluidic light as spirit views it, is an ever-moving 
 vitalized ether, more solid than the aura and more solid 
 than spiritual ether. This is what forms the first sub- 
 stance for the foundation of etheric bodies. 
 
 Now in order that you may go forth with this thought 
 into Egypt, I take you with me and we follow the line of 
 thought up to the last condition where Egypt ruled. It 
 was two thousand years before its finality, and the King 
 who ruled as a spirit came from the 7th. He was vitally 
 strong and etherically spiritual. This vitality of strength 
 was composed of the knowledge and the consciousness of 
 the bringing together and placing within the earth that 
 which belonged to Egypt and which could not be under- 
 stood by man. His etheric consciousness, strong as it 
 was, he only used with the force of spirit. They of the 
 7th always used this because they hold the knowledge 
 of the creation of the Electic Circle. 
 
 Egypt had existed so long, and the power and the 
 knowledge had grown so great, and yet it was needful 
 that it should be placed where nothing could destroy in 
 the future. 
 
 We will make the comparison of today. As the de- 
 struction for future intellect is complete, if the earth holds 
 a place according to what the masses consider man's in- 
 heritance, so Egypt with this King began the great work, 
 and you and I were sent with Apolinus, the great master 
 of mentality. He it was who guided and directed the 
 gathering together of this great knowledge. Here is 
 
 127 
 
where the great Mystic Circle of the Pyramid holds the 
 mystery for the earth. 
 
 There were twelve tablets of bronze; twelve tablets 
 of copper and twelve tablets of gold. They were banded 
 together with iron, and beneath the Circle within the 
 Pyramid they were placed. Upon the tablets of copper 
 was placed the mentality of the first knowledge of Egypt 
 from the time of its creation, as spirit, until that age that 
 was in existence when this was done. The tablets of 
 bronze held the interpretation of every symbol engraved 
 upon stone all over the whole country of Egypt. The 
 third tablets held the knowledge of the King and the 
 connecting link between the Mystic Circle and the Electic 
 Circle. 
 
 Here I will speak of a few things that you may know 
 really what that means. The Electic Circle is the great 
 vivifying circle that holds, as it does, the knowledge of 
 spirit and the signals for the movement of every great 
 mass, whether it be of earth or whether it be of other 
 conditions. The Electic Circle moves in perfect unison 
 with the great condition of the Central Force wherein 
 abideth the Father. This Electic Circle holds more 
 power and force than would convey or carry forth all 
 universes and as many earths as you can calculate with 
 your mentality. The size of this Electic Circle is three 
 times the width of the earth and five times its circumfer- 
 ence. Within the center of it is what is known as the 
 great motive power of all cycles. They of the 7th are 
 perfectly aware of all this, and upon this tablet was ar- 
 ranged the laws that controlled the relationship between 
 the Electic Circle and the Mystic Circle of the Pyramid. 
 
 The Mystic Circle of the Pyramid had the power of 
 reflection as the knowledge would pass thru the Electic 
 Circle and be transferred to earth. 
 
 From that time unto the present there has never been 
 
 128 
 
a Mystic Circle strong enough to catch the reflection from 
 the Electic Circle. All powers of transition conveyed 
 thru this King were left upon these tablets. The symbols 
 that hold this knowledge will never be read unless one 
 from the 7th reaches a height strong enough to absorb, 
 thru the transition of the earth, into spirit mentality; 
 for as far as the symbols upon the plate are concerned, 
 they are invisible only to one who can reach out in this 
 way. 
 
 We were within the palace and the King had been 
 with us many hours. He expressed the thought that he 
 was thru his work and ready to take upon himself a 
 spiritual body, but according to the law, he must pass 
 thru the great spheres of earth. While we yet spake 
 together, there came one unto us who said unto us : "I 
 Cometh unto you as an archangel of the heights and I 
 bring unto thee, O King of Egypt, a message" and I 
 readeth it unto you like unto this: "We held for him, 
 for he was the only one that had a physical body, as close 
 a protection that he might be able to receive this mes- 
 sage without a separation from his body." The archangel 
 raised above him a light very powerful and very strong 
 and in its penetration we could see far into the heights. 
 There we saw gathered together many who were higher 
 as masters than we had ever come in touch with. They 
 were under perfect control and waited to see whether the 
 master of the 7th would accept what had to be done, or 
 refuse. 
 
 In placing this for you in this way, you must look 
 closely into the height of thine own consciousness, for 
 if not it will be as a breath that wipes it out, leaving you 
 to once more seek out the meaning of this condition. 
 
 Then was the question put to him : "Art thou strong 
 enough, as spirit, to test the power of the Almighty?" 
 For a moment he sat in deep thought, then he lifted his 
 
 129 
 
right hand and he said : "Unto the Almighty I will give 
 my oath." 
 
 Again we looked and the light seemed to grow 
 stronger as if the height had again received a fuller and 
 a more complete question ; and once more the archangel 
 spake unto him : "Art thou ready to go the way of all 
 masters? For thou knowest there is a greater service 
 than thou hast been asked to give ?" A look passed over 
 his face and we watched him closely to see what his 
 answer would be. And, turning, he said: "According 
 to the law of the mastership of the 7th, I choose to 
 serve." Again the heights moved as if a radiance had 
 spread over it leaving naught save a place of light, and 
 the archangel said: "If thou art a master thou canst 
 enter the light alone." Then thou didst say unto him: 
 "Thou art a King, thou art a master, yet feelest thou that 
 thou canst enter the light alone?" And he took and he 
 laid his hand upon thee and he said : "When thou hast 
 entered the spheres, go thou to where the rhythm of light 
 within the 7th showeth plain' unto thee and then thou 
 shalt read the consciousness that was given to me as I 
 entered the light." 
 
 You and I left him alone with the archangel, then 
 began following it in three days, the work of placing 
 between the double stones of the great Pyramid that 
 which held the records which no man will ever receive. 
 We called from among the King's subjects one with a 
 physical body who came from out the heights of the High 
 Heavens. He had sought a body strong and well de- 
 veloped and he came bringing with him all the physical 
 strength needed. We brought from out of our Universe 
 some of the fluidic substance and taking the rolls we 
 encased them in it. Then this workman took and made 
 three incisions in the rock, tube-shaped, about 28 inches 
 long, and then he embedded these within them. Then 
 
 130 
 
began the great work of th^ adhesion of the stones. 
 Egypt today has thousands upon thousands of stones 
 that have not been affected by elements in all ages of the 
 earth's existence. This stone is 28 feet beneath the sur- 
 face of the earth, 16 feet from the north, 350 feet from the 
 south, 820 feet from the west and 460 feet from the east. 
 This calculation is what forms the nucleus of the earth 
 within which this knowledge is placed, and it is the only 
 place within the earth where any spirit from any uni- 
 verse hath ever placed this fluidic condition. This great 
 pyramid was the third one constructed and is yet, a por- 
 tion of it, in existence. After it was all complete, which 
 took about seven days, this workman disappeared. He 
 made a voyage to the head of the Nile, there he met the 
 master from out of the High Heavens and he went his 
 way from whence he came. 
 
 The King of Egypt was loath to let us go. He said 
 that we should give unto him our knowledge of our Uni- 
 verse and he still did not know whether he would be per- 
 mitted to pass on or would have to make the circuit of 
 the planes. 
 
 One day as the cool of the morning swept thru the 
 great palace we three sat together. Many were the things 
 which we talked about and his knowledge and conscious- 
 ness of the place from whence he came were wondrous 
 to us. This was one of the things he said : 'T know that 
 thou shalt come unto me and within the 7th I will have 
 many things to show thee." And while we yet spake 
 together there came a flash of light and into his lap was 
 dropped a tiny roll wrapped around with etheric thought. 
 He opened it and within it were three ciphers. He read 
 it and he said unto you : "I wouldst that thou shouldst 
 call Imhotep. Imhotep had gone unto the High Heav- 
 ens and would not return for three days ; and thou said 
 unto him: "We must wait. What wouldst thou have 
 
 131 
 
him do?" "I wouldst that he shouldst translate for me 
 these three ciphers, for human conditions have shut 
 away from me the power of doing it." His voice was sad 
 as if in some way he felt the influence of what he was 
 passing thru. That night as the great palace was aglow 
 with light and beauty and the wealth of Egypt had come 
 together, an old priest came and called thee and he said 
 unto thee : "I wouldst thou wouldst go with me. Some- 
 one needeth thee." And thou and I went together. We 
 went to the outer wall of the city and standing close 
 against it was the figure of a young man. He was 
 dressed in the skins of they of the desert, and he carried 
 naught save a water bottle with the skins that were 
 empty. "What wouldst thou of me?" thou didst say. 
 And he said unto thee: "Master, they of the 7th Uni- 
 verse hath sent me that thou shalt know that the Law of 
 Ishmael is finished." 
 
 Once more thou didst look and didst see the shadow 
 of the earth, thou didst see the vast desert where they of 
 Ishmael wandered to and fro. I touched thee on thy 
 hand and said: "Master, the young man waiteth that 
 thou shalt answer him." Then thou took from out thy 
 girdle a written word which in Ishmael means *Unto thee 
 shall be given peace thru the knowledge of Divinity.' 
 Turning, the old man came close to thee and taking thy 
 robe, he pressed it within his hands and then thou didst 
 know who he was.* And he said unto thee: "Master, 
 
 ♦Who was he, Marcus? 
 
 I have told you in there. Was that not the old age of the 
 earth? Do you not know I told you about the different ages of 
 the earth and that was one of them and he came as the old 
 man and when he had pressed the garments, when you had 
 known and become conscious of that age, then you knew who 
 he was. 
 
 132 
 
knowest thou not that the work of Ishmael is- not com-, 
 plete?" And when thou didst look upon him thou didst 
 know that he had the spirit of he who had first given unto 
 the desert they who were known as Ishmael. The young 
 man waited and the old man took his water jar and filled 
 it full of fresh water. Then thou saith unto him : "Three 
 days from now thou shalt meet he who ruleth over thy 
 people. Let him write within the Book of thy Laws this 
 which I have given thee. The old man turned and 
 blessed him and went with him, for it was the beginning 
 and the end of the great race. And thou and I watched 
 them as they went their way into the far-off shadows of 
 the desert land. 
 
 Morning of the third day came and Imhotep stood 
 beside us and thou didst say unto him : "We will go unto 
 the King, he seeketh that thou shouldst write for him the 
 ciphers that hath come from the land of the 7th." And 
 Imhotep and you and I went, and the King greeted us 
 and he saith: "I am ready," and Imhotep writeth down 
 the meaning of the ciphers. And the first cipher saith 
 unto the King: "Thou hast the right to ask thy freedom, 
 but thou must go unto he who shall be known as the 
 Keeper of the Souls of Men and he will give thee that 
 which is thine." The second cipher was like unto this: 
 "Thou shalt seek out within the realms of that which 
 lieth east of the spheres and shall know that thou art 
 to be given more than all spirit who seeketh a human 
 body." And the third cipher saith: "If thou in thy 
 worthiness go as thou art bade to do, thou wilt find 
 nothing but what shall give thee what thou needeth." 
 Then thou saith unto him : "When thou goest take with 
 thee three stones that I giveth unto thee, for within the 
 spheres must be laid the foundation for the Temple of 
 Egypt. Lay thou one to the east, one to the west and 
 one to the south. But there is one who shall come who 
 
 133 
 
must lay the one that is to the north,* and he said unto 
 thee: "If thou goest from Egypt I wouldst that thou 
 shouldst leave all for me as thou thinkest." Then came 
 there one unto Imhotep, she was the daughter of the 
 Pharaoh who had been and her hair was white like unto 
 the snow and she said to Imhotep : "Whither hast thou 
 been? Knowest thou not that the days of the Pharaoh 
 are past and the coming of that which is to be when 
 Egypt is not, I know.'* And she showed thee many 
 things that had been written by her father. And Imho- 
 tep said: "I wouldst that thou shouldst not mourn for 
 thy people for they go unto the place prepared for them." 
 And she said unto him : "I wouldst mourn not, but I 
 seek that I goeth unto the Egypt that was before earth 
 claimed it as her own." And Imhotep comforted her and 
 she went her way and when the King was ready and the 
 fall of Egypt had begun, we three watched it from the 
 height of the Egypt of the spirit. We saw the crumbHng 
 of the great walls of the Temple ; we saw they who 
 sought and destroyed the greatness thereof and we saw 
 that which passed over it and the nation became small 
 and reduced. And then we turned our faces toward the 
 height for he who had been made King over Egypt had 
 served within the spheres and as spirit was free to go his 
 way. And he said unto us : "Within the height abideth 
 the great knowledge of the Father and if thou wouldst 
 go with me thou shalt see and know and understand." 
 This was in the last days of Egypt. Thou knowest its 
 consciousness has been perfect and complete. Thou hast 
 sought it out and looked upon it with the vision of the 
 
 ♦Who is he, Marcus? 
 
 The Lord God Almighty, the last, the one to the north. Do 
 you know why? Because he watches the incoming of all spirit 
 to earth that unto his son he shall give the numbering. (He 
 keeps the record). 
 
 134 
 
human and thou hast looked upon it with the vision of 
 the spirit. But thou shalt look upon it in its greatness 
 and in its splendor for out of that which hath been within 
 it they will re-create and create and create until it shall 
 become more perfect in the sight of its creator. 
 
 This lesson holds for you a knowledge of one of the 
 Unknown Laws. And thou must study and seek for 
 thyself a knowledge of it that thou mayst know that not 
 of the human is it, but of the spirit. 
 
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. There is a question I would like to ask with regard to 
 the Electic Circle: Is not the Electic Circle, in spirit, doing the 
 acting, performing, and work, just similar to the field magnets 
 of the dynamo? 
 
 A. No, because it is created out of light; but it acts in 
 unison with the great dymatic power. It makes, not an attrac- 
 tion thru any metallic force, but thru vital force. Nothing 
 within the earth has that except the human body, and the human 
 body has a small portion; that is all. 
 
 Q. Where is that portion within the human body? 
 
 A. It is in the center of the soul-body; it lies at the entrance 
 of the heart. 
 
 If man could attract this in sufficient amount, he would 
 make perpetual motion; but even the body cannot attract^ 
 enough to keep that. There is not enough within the particles 
 that man takes into his body to hold a complete balance for 
 these great forces. 
 
 There are many things in this one thought that can be 
 followed out and held for future explanations, such as answering: 
 
 What power holds the earth suspended in space? 
 
 What power creates great cycles? 
 
 What unit holds the greatest knowledge? 
 
 You have never quite understood the combination of forces 
 to a degree and height of how much they can do. As yet you 
 are making calculations. One thing you have done and that is, 
 
 135 
 
yea have developed the force and power within yourself to 
 hold distinctly a thought that can penetrate into immensity. 
 
 Q. Marcus, in the mastership of earth, what relationship 
 does that hold as we strive to compare it with the mastership 
 of a universe or of any condition greater than earth? 
 
 A. The mastership of earth compares in this way: that you 
 utilize the forces of atoms, the forces of combined oxygen, and 
 you follow out wherever there is this condition within a uni- 
 verse and it gives you the penetration into their creations. The 
 mastership of earth is not for substance altogether, but in what 
 surrounds substance and everything within that condition. 
 
 Q. As I understand it, the earth and its environments with- 
 in the orbit hold this that we gain a mastership of; beyond that 
 lies immensity with its corresponding conditions; then those 
 universes that hold great conditions lie beyond that? 
 
 A. Yes, and among and within and around are their orbits, 
 their cycles, their belts of light, their nebulae, their creative 
 center and on and on and on. 
 
 Q. How many nations went thru the same condition? 
 A. Seven. 
 
 Q. The number of races for the earth is seven? 
 
 A. Yes. 
 
 There is something I have been wanting to tell you for 
 quite a while that you may know that within the present con- 
 dition that the changing of mentality will seem to many as if 
 man had lost his mentality. 
 
 Q. These people who are creating all the disturbance at 
 the present time as we look upon it as more or less unbalanced, 
 18 that an improved condition with them? 
 
 A. No, it is the changing of mentality. 
 
 Q. Later on they will straighten out and then are im- 
 proved? 
 
 A. Yes. 
 
 Q. What is to be the result of this later condition? 
 
 A. It will be just like the effervesence of the liquor within 
 the jar, it will throw off and throw off until finally the pure 
 element will remain and that will have the effect of balancing. 
 
 136 
 
The time will come, though, when a man will be ashamed to be 
 rich. Financially? You could not say riches from any other 
 because it is your heritage thru the father. 
 
 Q. When this combination is absorbed, what takes its 
 place ? 
 
 A. Equality. In other words, man will do to make more 
 perfect and he will equalize everything. 
 
 Q. What will take its place for exchange? 
 
 A. You won't need to have exchange. If all is equal, each 
 one has a right — there will be no exchange. They will be in 
 sections each one choosing so many at intervals and if all is 
 equal they won't have to make many decisions because each 
 one will know what they ought to do. There will be enough 
 to do for whatever the needs, will be created that to work with 
 and that to make things out of — according to the needs. And 
 man will not do because he has to, but because he wants to.

LESSON XIII 
 
 MARCUS— March 6, 1919 
 
 We must take up the consciousness of what all things 
 are created of and for. I have taken you thru great 
 heights, both of spirit and of human ; of creations and 
 placings ; of the consciousness and the origins — thru all 
 ages of the earth and before the earth was. And yet I 
 have never given you that which shall form the con- 
 sciousness of which things are created, and why. The 
 unit of man's thought has never risen to the height 
 wherein even the spirituality of man forms a connection ; 
 and the unity of spirit as it stops long enough to touch 
 with its fingers the outer condition of man's mentality 
 certainly has to have both reasoning, law and power to 
 form a link. 
 
 You have, in physical life, placed together two ex- 
 tremes, and yet you have not known why. First, you 
 took reason and submitted your mentality to it and you 
 disposed as you thought of every fraction of conscious- 
 ness that could enter physical mentality. I have taken 
 you to the height where spiritual mentality held in per- 
 fect obedience the physical mentality and have placed 
 consciousness and higher thought, higher reason and 
 higher proofs that you might unify and place them for 
 yourself. 
 
 The creation of "things'* embraces a large portion of 
 what man at the present is striving to utilize and place 
 
 138 
 
under the subjection and demand thru scientific laws a 
 proof of what has been the thought for thousands of 
 years within the earth. 
 
 The first great composition of the consciousness of 
 created things began before spirit was created for earth, 
 and the creation of things embraced what I can place 
 within mental consciousness. I say this word "things" 
 that it may embrace and cover everything that you can 
 think or feel may belong and be worthy of creation. 
 
 The first explanation given unto me was this: That 
 the first element of thought in the creation of a condition, 
 a world, a place, a universe, a sphere, a planet, a star, a 
 heaven or any zone or link, was this — **I, thru the breath 
 of holiness, create that which shall always hold purity 
 that it may develop higher and higher. 
 
 The second consciousness was in the creation of that 
 which should move and hold within it, immensity, space, 
 time, movement and action; and this was the thought 
 that produced its creation, — "Unlimitation giveth a pro- 
 gression that holds re-creation." 
 
 The third was this: That in the creation of that 
 which was within universes, spheres, worlds and heavens 
 should contain a diversity of conditions that would pro- 
 duce a multiplicity for whatever they were needed. With- 
 in this was this thought that actuated their creation — 
 "The unifying for whatever purpose that I, Infinite, give, 
 must hold that which will produce harmony and life for 
 that which cometh unto it." This is what is called the 
 Reasoning Consciousness of the Thought of the Creation 
 of these Things. 
 
 We now take up the consciousness purely of spirit, 
 which reaches beyond what is known as reason developed 
 thru the medium of man's mentality. With spirit we 
 need hold no reasoning powers, for thru the conscious- 
 ness of the thought of the origin, we only hold ourselves 
 
 139 
 
subservient to the beauty and the love of that which 
 created the thought first and then created that which 
 should follow it. In this I have given you the highest 
 degree of the consciousness of the creation of things, as 
 far as the earth is concerned, and the thought of that 
 which belongs to spirit as it is created for earth. 
 
 Now I wish to go a little farther for you in this con- 
 sciousness. 
 
 Holiness, in its highest sense, thru the thought of 
 creation, fills this place; without holiness there is no 
 purity; and thru purity must I fill full the life of that 
 which I created for spirit. This is the Consciousness of 
 the Inward Thought of Spirit as it lifts itself into a real- 
 ization of what it must create when it reaches this con- 
 dition. Once more. In the consciousness of higher in- 
 telligences of spirit, of which there are known to us at 
 the present, three, the first is this : Its creation, passing 
 thru the consciousness of its spirit, holds the purity and 
 strength within this creation and only has to have Infinite 
 Breath to make it a higher creation and a more subtile 
 connecting link between it and the consciousness of its 
 spirit. I can only give you these with this thought — 
 that in the creation of all these things and conditions, the 
 demand of spirit holds always a wonderful connection. 
 If you make your comparisons from the highest thought 
 you have, you will find that whenever an age, an epoch 
 or a condition within any created thing, matters not what 
 it is, you will find that that which is the residue within 
 it, is always pure and holy. 
 
 I now want to take you into the Consciousness of 
 Thought. 
 
 Man has never been able to measure spiritual thought. 
 The Finite of mind holds it too closely ; while the Infinite 
 of spirit giveth it a wide freedom. I, Marcus, as I lay 
 together the stones in the wall upon which the founda- 
 
 140 
 
tion of consciousness is built, find that the mathematical 
 calculation is so great that every thought I have ever 
 given you is like unto these stones and they fit together 
 perfectly.* Also, in the connection between Finite 
 Thought and Spiritual Thought, there is this — that spirit 
 can lift finite thought into the height of spiritual thought, 
 but in order that finite thought shall reach infinite 
 thought, it must be transposed thru what is known as the 
 consciousness of spirit in order that it may reach Infinite 
 Thought. 
 
 The first great creation of thought that I can find for 
 you began with the first conscious condition when you 
 entered the 7th Universe. And the first conscious 
 thought that you gave to Infinite was, the creation of a 
 consciousness within your universe. This held the 
 knowledge that your spirit had breathed within itself 
 when it became conscious of its separateness from the 
 Father. 
 
 You will have to take each one of these conditions 
 and fractionize for yourself, in order to become wholly 
 attuned to the thought. 
 
 Now let me give you an example : Imhotep holds that 
 which memorizes the knowledge of ages. You hold that 
 which inscribes upon the foundations the impression of 
 consciousness. I, lifting as I do, the elements of creation, 
 place them side by side with the consciousness of thought. 
 But the Infinite must give unto each of these creations 
 life. Without it, it would be as if you had placed the 
 earth without color, form, movement, or thought. Unity 
 in all these conditions is what forms the great chain that 
 binds together each creation into one perfect relationship. 
 
 In the explanation of the creations their multiplicity 
 
 ♦Isn't stone in this instance the symbol of thought? 
 Yes. 
 
 141 
 
is great ; without the silent language of spirit it would be 
 impossible to explain fully; the only word that I could 
 use would be that which means: ''without a limitation, 
 either above, beyond, beneath or around." 
 
 In drawing close to you with these thoughts, I find 
 that many times you stand, as it were, waiting that you 
 may hold finite (with) that which belongs only with 
 Infinite, yet have I striven to place that between which 
 shall aid you in what you seek. Can you put together 
 steel and steel that you should make that which you can 
 bend according to your plan? Or must you place iron 
 and steel that one shall form the resistance and the other 
 the acceptance ? Truth holdeth that which is unchange- 
 able, yet there is an element that is impressionable and 
 which holds not the strength of truth — that is finite. 
 
 I have waited long that out of the great archives I 
 might bring these thoughts, pure as they are, that they 
 might form for you a higher consciousness and broaden, 
 as it were, your perception of what lies before you, in the 
 great work of the future. 
 
 Human thought separates and leaves the earth and 
 then gives nothing to be created afterwards ; while we of 
 the spirit know that the life of earth is only earthly cessa- 
 tion whose time is scarcely calculated in the experience 
 that spirit gains thru it. 
 
 I want to give you a little consciousness together in 
 what is known as the Land of the Sun, and in speaking 
 of this I may place for you a relationship with many who 
 have penetrated far enough to catch a glimpse of the 
 thought that lies within this condition. The reason it is 
 called "The Land of the Sun" is, because it was created 
 thru the movement of many great movements and actions 
 and multiplicities of light which afterwards a portion 
 was used for the creation of one of your physical suns. 
 It is here that you can become conscious that the earth 
 
 142 
 
has a peculiar physical sun. It is disc within a disc, and 
 it moves alternately, as far as the earth is concerned, a 
 part of the time throwing light thru one and then again 
 thru the other. These discs are placed together and are 
 composed of what is known as quartruple fluid that is 
 created when light is reduced in a way which can be 
 thru great spaces utilized for the earth. It is too power- 
 ful in its original creation for the earth to use; that is 
 why for the one physical sun it was separated into two 
 discs and operated in this manner. This Land of the 
 Sun holds the absolute power as far as physical matter, 
 or earth fractions, planetary atoms and zonic atoms are 
 concerned. However, there are other lights that are not 
 created or held within this condition. Many universes 
 passing, utilize some of their light, like you would stop 
 and attract thru currents what you use at the present as 
 electricity. This wonderful stream of light, if I should 
 give you a knowledge of it, would be hotter than molten 
 iron, and in size as it comes from the center, larger than 
 five times the size of your earth. It has what you call 
 tributaries or separating places where it is molded into 
 great forms of light. Etheric suns, suns of great masses 
 that supply planetary light, comes from this condition. 
 All fixed stars are given a small fraction of it. And it is 
 utilized in the same manner by them as you utilize water 
 as far as the earth is concerned. They can create, accord- 
 ing to the consciousness we have had of them, over three 
 million physical suns if it was needed, in the fraction of a 
 second. 
 
 You have asked me if it is possible to give you a 
 scientific consciousness and I have endeavored to do so. 
 
 Electricity, elemental force, gravitation, unifying of 
 particles, separating into zonic matter, the intelligence of 
 ether, the radiations and vibrations of light and air, all 
 are fractionized for the earth within this great condition 
 
 143 
 
in the Land of the Sun. The arteries of the earth's uni- 
 verse hold within them small particles of these great 
 lights. Gravitation only depends in a slight degree upon 
 the movement of these great forces that supply light. 
 These forces have their origin in another condition, the 
 same as you would prepare a man for a certain condition 
 in different portions of the earth. Electricity in its pure 
 state within this condition, holds what would be known 
 as three hundred sixty-seven (367) degrees to every frac- 
 tion or 80th of a second what is used for three thousand 
 years within the earth. All solaric systems depend, how- 
 ever, upon a higher source of light within which revolving 
 are spaces into which are placed millions of illumined 
 worlds and suns whose solaric system has three times the 
 number of planets that the earth has and they, extending 
 outward from their centers, attract from this higher light 
 all that supplies them with whatever they may demand. 
 
 There is one thought I have never given you that 
 belongs to the work of spirit that so far man has not been 
 given any knowledge of. And it is with regard to the 
 animal condition within the earth and the result of their 
 earth's experience and the placing afterwards. 
 
 In the great plan of creation when the thought of earth 
 passed into expression, that which should occupy the 
 earth was a matter that had to be placed properly and 
 there were those who held a knowledge of how to create 
 certain portions and conditions and things for the earth. 
 Among them were those who knew how to create animal 
 spirit that it might become a life force imbued with suffi- 
 cient intelligence; from the highest to the lowest degree 
 of its creation there was always a combined condition of 
 finite and consciousness. In the placing afterwards, each 
 fraction wherein they are placed holds them according to 
 the degree of intelligence they have absorbed as they 
 pass thru earth's experience, but there is no degree that 
 does not increase as it passes on. 
 
 144 
 
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
 
 Q. Marcus, is there anybody inhabiting these conditions? 
 
 A. Certainly. They are susceptible to the influence of 
 Infinite spirit. Some of these solaric systems hold an advanced 
 state of planetary systems and planetary spirits. Some hold 
 what is known as great conditions of Creative Principle. Some 
 hold greater consciousness for they who, as spirit, may seek it. 
 
 Q. What form did they take? 
 
 A. Etheric form, spiritual form, divine form, whatever is 
 necessary to enter and absorb whatever they may require. 
 
 Q. What is divine form? 
 
 A. It is that form which can always be distinguished by 
 its radiance, clearness and pureness. 
 
 Spiritual form has more of a tangibility, as usually they are 
 spirits created for earth; while that which has divine form are 
 those that hold a condition that earth has nothing to do with. 
 
 Etheric form, as you know, is utilized always by spirit who 
 wish to traverse any place or any condition. 
 
 The power of etheric form is more adjustable to all condi- 
 tions. 
 
 Q. Marcus, in the placing of intelligence into everything, 
 what really was it for? 
 
 A. That it might form a portion to answer to the demand 
 of spirit that it might become that which could be utilized in 
 a higher degree and molded into a more perfect condition.

LESSON XIV 
 
 MARCUS— AprU 3, 1919 
 
 Wait a minute, we have someone to come that they 
 may hear this, for long they dwelleth within Constanti- 
 nople and they knew every portion of it, but they know- 
 eth not of that which lay within the Mosque within the 
 city. 
 
 IsitAbud? Yes. 
 
 Is this Emelech with you, tonight, Marcus? Yes. 
 You know there is a knowledge that cometh from master 
 to master and we who bring it unto they who have a 
 physical body, learn from that that there are conditions 
 and ties where such knowledge belongeth to the other; 
 like unto when thou wert spirit and I was physical and 
 thou wert with me and knew of many things, and now 
 thou art physical and I am spirit and I cometh and I 
 know of many things that thou hast. 
 
 Marcus says — Like the placing of all history, I must 
 say that we must begin at the beginning. And this great 
 knowledge not only belongeth unto Constantinople, but 
 belongeth unto Jerusalem, as well. 
 
 First, the wonderful enactment of it all was within 
 Egypt that is not of earth. The first knowledge of the 
 symbols, the first great thought that was to be placed 
 within them and the first great coming together of not 
 only you and Emelech, but Abud and Imhotep and the 
 
 146 
 
master who lives in the North, all of us were together in 
 Egypt, and the great master who was there taught us the 
 formation and the words within the symbols. This was 
 before the foundations of the earth were laid, and before 
 we had learned the knowledge of the placing of the stones 
 therein, which was in this great condition where each of 
 us learned from what Universe we came.* And he who 
 was of the House of Israel gave unto us this thought: 
 That when the great fulfillment was complete he would 
 be ready to give us a knowledge of its fulfillment. 
 
 Many and great have been the days since then, and 
 many and great have been the wonderful conditions cre- 
 ated. And he passed from place to place and, as spirit, 
 he entereth into the conditions of the second habitation ; 
 yet when he entereth the physical he kneweth not the 
 meaning of it save that he knew that he stood within the 
 threshold of the Temple of Jerusalem and he learneth of 
 many things. 
 
 Now there cometh with us one who searched far and 
 wide that he might bring unto these conditions a higher 
 knowledge, that he who is the master of the High Heav- 
 ens should have the knowledge of the Book out of which 
 no man hath read. And he brought from out of the waste 
 places the link that connected the past age with the pres- 
 ent age and he serveth no man, yet doth thou know that 
 without this link we could not procure the knowledge we 
 need. And now that the time is ready it will be needful 
 that that which is beneath the sand of the desert shall be 
 brought forth that they who are ready for the knowledge 
 may receive it and use it. 
 
 All this came to us as we were within Egypt. 
 
 And once more we made our way, as thou knowest, 
 we went unto Constantinople, and thou knowest why we 
 
 ♦Does this mean the stones in the foundation of the earth? 
 Yes. 
 
 147 
 
went and what was our errand. But there is a time that 
 came afterward when there came unto you, within the 
 Seventh Universe a Messenger, Imhotep, and he saith 
 unto thee : "Thou must come unto the City of Jerusalem 
 and thou must learn and get knowledge that is placed 
 within the Temple by Solomon, and when thou cometh 
 thou shalt bring a measure, and when thou entereth the 
 Temple he who is of the High Heavens shall wait with 
 thee, with Emelech and John the Baptist." And thou 
 didst go unto the Temple of Jerusalem and thou didst 
 take with thee a measure and thou didst measure the Ark 
 and the Holy of Holies and thou didst measure the rent 
 in the Veil that was within the Ark that had been placed 
 there and another placed within its place ; and thou didst 
 measure the folds of the Veil and thou didst measure the 
 rent within it, and then thou didst go into the outer court 
 of the Temple and thou didst measure the pillars and thou 
 didst measure the foundations. And he who was of the 
 High Heavens came unto thee and he said unto thee: 
 "Hast thou measured?" And thou didst say: "It is 3 
 cubits and 10 cubits and 4 cubits and 28 cubits." And 
 he turned and he said unto thee: "Wouldst thou come 
 with me into the vast inner court, I wouldst show thee 
 what no man hath seen within the Temple?" And thou 
 didst go with him and no human man was there and the 
 dome of the Temple was opened and there stood within 
 the Temple 12 of the Daughters of Jefpheta and 12 of 
 the planetary spirits of Jupiter and 12 of the Sons of 
 Herschel, and they stood in the center of the Temple and 
 he who was of the High Heavens spake unto them ; and 
 the Daughters of Jefpheta lifted above the Temple a 
 great star and there were eight points within it and in 
 the center of it was a disc that revolved with five needles. 
 And he of the High Heavens said unto thee: "Seeth 
 thou this ?" And thou saith unto him : "Yea verily, for 
 
 148 
 
the star cometh across the great spaces and the measure- 
 ment within it is what shall bring from out of five na- 
 tions that which hath never been given unto the earth 
 before."* And the master from the High Heavens spake 
 again unto the Daughters of Jefpheta and one of them 
 stepped forth and she said unto him: "I have chosen 
 from out of all the conditions that I shall leave my con- 
 sciousness of Infinite Spirit within the planet Jupiter and 
 I shall come unto the earth and I shall use a planetary- 
 spirit and a physical body; and that which shall occupy 
 and be worked out by the five nations of the earth will 
 be many, many days from now/' And the master of the 
 High Heavens took a solid grey veil and he placed it 
 around her and he said: "Thou art wise and thou wilt 
 serve, but thou wilt not serve within a physical body with 
 thy planetary spirit."t And they who came from out 
 of the planet Jupiter and from Herschel stood in a circle 
 and the master of the High Heavens spake unto each one 
 and they gave him a link of a chain and he took it within 
 his hand and there were 70 links and he gave it unto thee 
 and thou didst hold it, and it became welded together. 
 And he said unto thee: "I will wait for thee and when 
 the time cometh when I shall near, in physical life, the 
 numbers of the years that are within the chain, I will 
 know that it is given unto us to understand the work of 
 our Creator. And thou shalt come from out of thine Uni- 
 verse and thou shalt be with us in the spirit." And he 
 showed you the great Temple of Solomon, and then each 
 of us went our way. 
 
 Once more, he who was known as the King of Baby- 
 lon, made great preparations, and John the Baptist, in 
 
 ♦What five nations are these? 
 
 They are yet to be. 
 
 •j-Who is she? 
 
 She was the spirit of the five nations that are to be. 
 
 149 
 
the spirit, cometh from out of the waste places and he 
 Cometh unto Babylon and he goeth unto her who was 
 placed to watch over Babylon until the King's son should 
 come and rule. And the King went his way unto the 
 spirit and she ruled his people ; and the young King went 
 everywhere until it was time that he should return. And 
 you and Imhotep and Emelech and myself goeth to Baby- 
 lon, and John the Baptist came and he brought from out 
 of the waste places the great jewel of the desert and he 
 gave it unto the young King and he saith unto him : "It 
 is time that thou shouldst make preparations for the mas- 
 ters are here and they goeth unto the Temple and they 
 lighteth the sacred fire and all of his people waiteth out- 
 side." And we goeth within, and John the Baptist stand- 
 eth at the arch of the Temple and he who is the Divine 
 Master came unto them and they gave Him all glory and 
 power and dominion. And the young King said unto 
 Him: "Thou art the King, not I." And he who was a 
 master of the High Heavens called unto thee and he said : 
 "Thou shalt dwell with me within the tent and thou shalt 
 learn the knowledge of the House of Israel and there shall 
 come a time when thou shalt understand and know the 
 meaning of all this and why the Master cometh unto they 
 who form a portion wherein the House of Israel shall 
 reign first and the House of Egypt shall reign second; 
 and the third reign shall be a heathen reign; and then 
 once more shall the House of Egypt restore it unto what 
 it is to be.* 
 
 And again we goeth our way and once more there 
 cometh unto us he who is the Messenger and he saith: 
 "Once again we goeth unto Constantinople, for the time 
 is almost when from out of the confines of the Temples 
 
 ♦Do these reigns refer to the habitations? 
 Yes. 
 
 150 
 
shall they of the Tribe of Ishmael take that which be- 
 longeth unto John the Baptist. He placed it there and 
 they will remove it." And I say unto thee the time 
 and age and the hour hath come and they who claim the 
 right to be of the House of Israel and are not of the 
 House of Israel, seeketh this knowledge; but it is not 
 there. And I say unto thee, when we goeth unto Con- 
 stantinople we meeteth they who were to be with us and 
 once more we entereth the Mosque and this time there 
 are five of us and we lifteth the stone and we lifteth the 
 dark stone and we readeth the symbols thereon. The 
 first symbol is the knowledge of the first creation of 
 universes. And the second knowledge is the knowledge 
 that bindeth all spirit together. And the third knowledge 
 is the fulfillment of all prophecies. And the fourth 
 knowledge was when John the Baptist in the waste places 
 stood in the presence of a Messenger of the Father and 
 was taught the great things that the Father had to teach, 
 and He saith unto him: "Thou shalt write and there 
 shall be no man read it until many days pass away." And 
 thou didst see them turn the black stone and upon either 
 side of it were written these words : "Holiness and great- 
 ness and glory unto all that liveth purely in the presence 
 of the light and there shall be a bringing together of they 
 who are great in spirit and they shall loosen the bonds of 
 the earth and they shall seek in the prisons and in the 
 waste places for they who are bound with bonds and they 
 shall unroll the scroll of the High Heavens and they shall 
 read what is written therein and they shall know the 
 meaning of that which man claimeth holdeth no knowl- 
 edge. And then they lifted the white stone and upon it 
 is engravened the great knowledge under which all spirit 
 shall live. And the first that was written is like unto 
 this: "And in the eternal light shall spirit dwell and in 
 the presence of that which the Father hath for them 
 
 151 
 
shall they abide. And following it was this : "And there 
 shall come from out of the High Heavens a greater glory 
 and a greater fulfillment ; and once more shall the Infinite 
 give unto them Laws that shall control and they shall 
 obey, and they shall not be called upon to build, for 
 already it shall have been builded. And they shall not be 
 called upon to change, for all things have been changed/' 
 And again they readeth : "And there shall not be neither 
 sun nor moon, but there shall be one people and the light 
 that cometh shall be so full that it shall be known as the 
 multiplicity of suns and moons." 
 
 And once more they readeth: "And there shall be 
 brought together all that that hath never been known and 
 the waste places of the earth shall be filled full, so full 
 that the earth cannot hold it. And the knowledge of life 
 shall be revealed and the creation of spirit shall be as a 
 written book which hath no hidden meaning within it." 
 
 And thou turneth unto he who was the master of the 
 High Heavens and thou saith unto him: "Where shall 
 we place the stones? for there will come a time when 
 there shall be naught within the earth but destruction 
 and man shall seek to destroy and deplete and do away 
 with the symbols that holdeth the great knowledge." 
 Then cometh he who was John the Baptist and he hold- 
 eth up his hands and he saith : "From out of the great 
 Universe of Light cometh that which shall protect this 
 and once more we shall place the stones in their place." 
 And again thou saith : "There shall be conflict and war- 
 fare and pestilence and every man's hand will be against 
 every man and they who have held this so long shall be 
 driven forth into the desert without food or an abiding 
 place." And then John the Baptist said: "When that 
 time cometh we shall seek from out of the spirit the 
 knowledge of the placing of these great things and unto 
 .<ii who is the master of the High Heavens thou shalt give 
 
 152 
 
that he may place it within his memory and he shall take 
 the knowledge of these stones and when they who seek, 
 thru destruction, to know the meaning of the God of the 
 Jews, they shall find nothing written there upon the 
 stones within the Mosque at Constantinople. 
 
 Emelech says, as a High Priest of the House of Israel 
 I Cometh that I may know that the consciousness hath 
 been made correct. And I saith unto thee, that great in- 
 deed is the movement and the consciousness of Israel. 
 And I saith unto thee, that the gathering of Israel shall 
 be great and there shall be many of they who shall seek 
 out and ask that they be given a place amidst they who 
 were created before them. I, Emelech, hath brought to- 
 gether from the great condition a knowledge that was 
 written therein and I say unto thee : thou art human and

 Thou saith, who are they who were created before the High

 cus builded walls and yet thou hast asked Marcus to tell thee
