Hail, O Helios, thou dawn of regenerate reality!
Hail, thou Holy Mother of Eternal Cycles!
Hail, O Immaculate Concept which does not expend
its energy in vain trifles
But seeks to extricate mankind from all that rifles
The treasure-house of man's knowing
Which opposes the purity that's flowing
Unbounded from God's great knowing
That founded universal love and order, showing
To all the way to answer God's call
And pray withal and serve the light
That illumines darkest night
With Victory's flag unfurled
O'er all the shadowed world.
I AM come, then, this dawn of the new year
To join the holy energies Gautama has released
And assert the dominance of cosmic peace
That shall never cease
Until the last man, woman, and child is free
To be the exact replica of the divine decree
That forges in the field of time
Some measure of God's joy sublime
That shines the midnight hour
And takes from evil all its power
Until the light of truth proves well
The hordes of evil to repel
To break the long outwoven spell
That blinded man and beast alike
And chained all elemental life!
O precious ones, the time has come when the yoke of tyranny must be put off and man, in all of the treasure-house of being, must pay homage to the Christ image being born anew as each soul recognizes the need to distinguish between seed and need; for seed is the divine plan implanted in man in the beginning and bears the stamp of the Christ and the ability of the light to permeate the lily of man with the fragrance of God's plan, whereas the need of man for things and outer power is but an act of desire and the desire mind.
These two opposites, depicted in the story of Cain and Abel,1 show the ability of Abel and his response to the call of God to take dominion over the field of the world and to reconsecrate it as the Eden, or paradise of God. By contradistinction, the mind of Cain sought only to expand his desires without recognizing the threads of responsibility which, while latent, were literally bursting within his being also. His use of the energies of regeneration was to direct them into the fields of generation, and hence he sought in the land of Nod for a wife to bear him offspring in the generative cycle. Thus the sin of Cain was that he did not pay heed to the ancient covenants by which mankind, in all of their being and form, were literally galvanized into action by the Creator's magnificence as trapezoid, parallelogram, and wave form heaped into trigonometric expression and the science of crystallography and atomic structure resulted in manifest form.
Long before form was realized, the mind and intelligence of God conceived the entire whole - the fourth-dimensional pattern of both form and soul - and the pattern has scarcely begun to externalize here upon earth. As we send forth continuously the sunseeds of eternal promise, we want all mankind who are able to assimilate our message in part -
To realize that in the heart of being
There is an inward power of seeing
Whose virtue must be amplified until
Godlike eyes and vision appear within men's will
And the breaches and schisms of past ages are healed
By the appearance of the patterns immortal God sealed.
Then the mystery of the white stone will be known
And each man's new name2
Will be seen in the virtue of his God flame
And substance unfolding shall fashion anew
A garment of light and beauty, too
And heaven's measure of purity will be
A symboled treasure of the good and the free!
Gracious ones, as I leave you with some understanding and some engrams to decipher, I trust this year a bannered one will be, a landmark of some reality. I offer thereto this token, then, a poem for the free.
I AM your Mother of the Eternal Cycles,
