Chapter 4

The teachings of the temple.


1

In this manner was the world created:

2

First was everything, and everything always was; and thus all is and ever was En Sof, or everlasting:

3

And this was Alohykma and Ieshurunb, and the beasts, and the plants, and the rocks, and the wind.

4

Yea, it was all; yet it was as nothing, for it was void; and darkness was, as it were, upon the face of the deep where dwelt as it were a great pool of living water:

5

And the first stage of man, the eternal man adam kadmonc that was never born and shall never die, was brooding upon the face of the waters.

6

¶ And Elohim moved upon the face of the waters, and drew them up, the intelligences, and they are godsd, the very sons and daughters of Elohim; even the Sons of the Morning and the Daughters of Light.

7

From the void sprang everything; and there was never a time when there was truly nothing, forever and eternal are we, and ever and eternal is YHVH.

8

And these gathered and organized, and light shined upon the face of the darkness, but darkness knew not the light.

9

Thus are the five stages of man: Intelligence, Spirit, Flesh, Soul, and Resurrected Being; the final being all stages in one, a Morning Star—forever complete.

10

Thus are the incarnations of man, and the arrangements to follow this road are hidden from the eyes that cannot see.

11

¶ For this reason, we are calling Elohim the one God: one in essence, yet many in aspect; or many in being, yet one in priesthood;

12

The highest being two: both male and femalee, thus being four, and again seen as five as their unity is one, the fifth being Keterf.

13

In this trinity is hidden the knowledge and wisdom of the whole world,

14

And through the mercy and justice of Alohykm shall we gain understanding, and by understanding, a glimpse of the Crown of Elohimg.

15

The children of godd descend to the earth to become sons of men; to die as princes, and ascend from the earth to the heavens, and become rulers over that which is above and that which is below.

16

¶ Deep I bowed in homage before YHVH receiving as my gift, the Key of Life, which is knowledge given with wisdom, even the very Tree of Life.

17

A great sin it is to eat from the tree unbeckoned, yet beckoned was I;

18

Thus to the stars and the City of Enoch shall I too one day journey, then space and timeh shall be as naught;

19

For after drinking deep of the cup of wisdom, I have looked into the hearts of men, and there I found greater mysteries; as for only by losing myself in the service of othersi was my joy made full.

20

And only in the truth of YHVH can our souls be filled, and the flame within lit eternally, as mankind too is filled with Ruach HaKodesh.

21

And, through the ages has the Holy Priesthood, after the Order of the Son of God lived and been passed down by my fathers, and now from my fathers unto you, Abram.

22

And I, seeing those around me taste of the cup of death and return again unto the light of life, even the bosom of Alohykm, know that this life is but a fleeting memory.

23

And thus, gradually I learned from the wisdom of my fathers, knowledge passed down from the City of Enoch;

24

This wisdom filled me with waves of consciousness that had been one with me in a prior incarnation, only to be replaced by spawn of a lower star here upon the earth.
