Scene 7
A temple somewhat Egyptian in appearance. A place of initiation in the far-distant past in this Earth’s third stage of post-Atlantean civilisation. A conversation between the hierophant, otherwise Capesius, the keeper of the temple, otherwise Felix Balde or Joseph Keane and a mystic, otherwise Dame Balde or Dame Keane.
