" It was during the dominance of that empire the three pyramids were built in accordance with the astronomical and mathematical lore of the Atlantean priests; and it is to this age also that we for the origin of those Mysteries which have been handed down to us in Freemasonry. Even then the ceremonies were ancient, and we must search a still more ancient past for their ultimate source. In the great catastrophe of 75,025 B.C. the whole and of Egypt was flooded, and nothing remained of all its glory except save the three pyramids rising above its waters. After a period of Nubian control the land was again colonized by the Atlanteans, who restored the splendor of the Egyptian temples and established once more the hidden Mysteries which had been celebrated in the great pyramid. This empire lasted up to the time of the aryanization of Egypt in 13,500 B.C., it was ruled by a great dynasty of divine kings, among whom were many of the heroes whom the Greeks later regarded as demigods, such as Herakles of the twelve labours, whose tradition was handed on to classical time. It was to these people about 40,000 B.C. that the World-Teacher came forth from the White Lodge, bearing the name of Tehuti, or Toth, called later by the Greeks Hermes; He founded the outer cult of the Egyptian gods and restored the Mysteries to the splendor of bygone days. The Jews referred to him as Enoch.
He came to teach the great doctrine of the ‘ Inner Light ’ to the priests of the Temples, to the powerful sacerdotal hierarchy of Egypt, headed by its Pharaoh. In the inner court of the chief Temple He taught them of ‘the Light that every man cometh into the world.’ – a phrase of His that was handed down through the ages, and was echoed in the fourth Gospel in its early Egyptian colored words. He taught them that the Light was universal, and that that Light, which was God, dwelt in the heart of every man. “ I am the Light,” He bade them repeat, “ That Light am I.” “That Light,” He said “ is the true man, although men may not recognize it, although they neglect it. Osiris is Light; he came forth from the Light; He dwells in the Light; He is the one Light. The Light is hidden everywhere; it is in every rock and in every stone. When man becomes one with the Osiris Light, then he becomes one with whole of which he was part, and then can see the Light in everyone, however thickly veiled, pressed down, and shut away. All the rest is not: but the Light is. The Light is the life of men. For every man the Reality is nearer than any ceremony, for he has only to turn inwards, and then he will see the Light. That is the object of every ceremony, and ceremonies should not be done away with, for I come not to destroy but to fulfil. When a man knows, he goes beyond ceremony, he goes to Osiris, he goes to the Light, the Light of Amen-Ra, from which all came forth, to which all shall return.
Osiris is in the heavens, but Osiris is also in the very heart of men. When Osiris in the heart knows Osiris in the heavens, then man becomes God, and Osiris, once rent into fragments, again becomes one. But see ! Osiris the Divine Spirit, Isis, the Eternal Mother, give life to Horus, who is man. Man born of both, but with one Osiris. Horus merged with Osiris, and Isis, who had been matter, becomes through him the Queen of Life and Wisdom. And Osiris, Isis, and Horus are all born of the Light.
“ Two are the births of Horus. He is born of Isis, the God born into humanity, taking the flesh of the Mother eternal, Matter, the ever Virgin. He is born again into Osiris, redeeming his Mother from her long search for the fragments of her husband scattered over the Earth. He is born into Osiris when Osiris in the heart sees Osiris in the heavens, and knows the twain are one.”
To Pharaoh, the monarch, He gave the motto: “ Look for the Light”; to the people He gave as a motto: Thou art the Light, Let that Light shine.”
