THE THREE HOLY STREAMS

 

Into the innermost circle have you come, into the mystery of mysteries, that

which was old when our father Enoch was young and walked the earth. Around

and around have you come on your journey of many years, always following the

path of righteousness, living according to the Holy Law and the sacred vows

of our Brotherhood, and you have made of your body a holy temple wherein

dwell the angels of God.

 

Now you shall know of the three laws of the angels, the mystery of the three

Holy Streams and the ancient way to traverse them; so shall you bathe in the

light of heaven and at last behold the revelation of the mystery of

mysteries: the law of God, which is One.

 

And when the sun is high in the heavens, then shall you seek the Holy Stream

of Sound. in the heat of noontide, all creatures are still and seek the

shade; the angels of the Earthly Mother are silent for a space. Then it is

that you shall let into your ears the Holy Stream of Sound; for it can only

be heard in the silence. Think on the streams that are born in the desert

after a sudden storm, and the roaring sound of the waters as they rush past.

Truly, this is the voice of God, if you did but know it. For as it is

written, in the beginning was the Sound, and the Sound was with God, and the

Sound was God. I tell you truly, when we are born, we enter the world with

the sound of God in our ears, even the singing of the vast chorus of the

sky, and the holy chant of the stars in their fixed rounds; it is the Holy

Stream of Sound that traverses the vault of stars and crosses the endless

kingdom of the Heavenly Father. It is ever in our ears, so do we hear it

not. Listen for it, then, in the silence of noontide; bathe in it, and let

the rhythm of the music of God beat in your ears until you are one with the

Holy Stream of Sound. It was this Sound which formed the earth and the

world, and brought forth the mountains, and set the stars in their thrones

of glory in the highest heavens.

 

And you shall bathe in the Stream of Sound, and the music of its waters

shall flow over you; for in the beginning of the times so did we all share

in the Holy Stream of Sound that gave birth to all creation. And the mighty

roaring of the Stream of Sound will fill your whole body, and you will

tremble before its might. Then breathe deeply of the angel of air, and

become the sound itself, that the Holy Stream of Sound may carry you to the

endless kingdom of the Heavenly Father, there where the rhythm of the world

rises and falls.

 

And when darkness gently closes the eyes of the angels of the Earthly

Mother, then shall you also sleep, that your spirit may join the unknown

angels of the Heavenly Father. And in the moments before you sleep, then

shall you think of the bright and glorious stars, the white, shining,

far-seen and far-piercing stars. For your thoughts before sleep are as the

bow of the skillful archer, that sends the arrow where he wills. Let your

thoughts before sleep be with the stars; for the stars are Light, and the

Heavenly Father is Light, even that Light which is a thousand times brighter

than the brightness of a thousand suns. Enter the Holy Stream of Light, that

the shackles of death may loose their hold for ever, and breaking free from

the bonds of earth, ascend the Holy Stream of Light through the blazing

radiance of the stars, into the endless kingdom of the Heavenly Father.

 

Unfold your wings of light, and in the eye of your thought, soar with the

stars into the farthest reaches of heaven, where untold suns blaze with

light. For at the beginning of the times, the Holy Law said, let there be

Light, and there was Light. And you shall be one with it, and the power of

the Holy Light Stream will fill your whole body, and you will tremble before

its might. Say the word " Light, " as you breathe deeply of the angel of air,

and you will become the Light itself; and the Holy Stream will carry you to

the endless kingdom of the Heavenly Father, there losing itself in the

eternal Sea of Light which gives birth to all creation. And you shall be one

with the Holy Stream of Light, always before you sleep in the arms of the

Heavenly Father.

 

I tell you truly, your body was made not only to breathe, and eat, and

think, but it was also made to enter the Holy Stream of Life. And your ears

were made not only to hear the words of men, the song of birds, and the

music of falling rain, but they were also made to hear the Holy Stream of

Sound. And your eyes were made not only to see the rising and setting of the

sun, the ripple of sheaves of grain, and the words of the Holy Scrolls, but

they were also made to see the Holy Stream of Light. One day your body will

return to the Earthly Mother; even also your ears and your eyes. But the

Holy Stream of Life, the Holy Stream of Sound, and the Holy Stream of Light,

these were never born, and can never die. Enter the Holy Streams, even that

Life, that Sound, and that Light which gave you birth; that you may reach

the kingdom of the Heavenly Father and become one with him, even as the

river empties into the far-distant sea.

 

More than this cannot be told, for the Holy Streams will take you to that

place where words are no more, and even the Holy Scrolls cannot record the

mysteries therein.
