And they shall eat of the tree of life, which is in the centre of the garden of the kingdom of God.
These are thine, O Mighty Master of Light; and this is the dominion which the Word of God appointed thee in the beginning:
In the day when God created the light of all the worlds, and divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Phoibos, and the darkness God called Python.
Now the darkness was before the light, as the night forerunneth the dawn.
These are the evening and the morning of the first cycle of the Mysteries.
And the glory of that cycle is as the glory of seven days; and they who dwell therein are seven times refined;
Who have purged the garment of the flesh in the living waters;
And have transmuted both body and soul into spirit, and are become pure virgins.
For they were constrained by love to abandon the outer elements, and to seek the innermost which is undivided, even the Wisdom of God.
