Prayer:

“Blessed is the Light. Shower on me Thy Ray. For as I travel in the darkness of this world of mine, I beseech Thee to illuminate my path.

I petition Thee, O Christ, to lead me into Thy midst and that I may be filled with Light.

For unto my light, I ask that my brothers may add their light, under the Holy Order of the Cross, and with the help of the ancient Brothers and Masters. O Christ, may I be filled with Light so that I may find my way to God.

I, the mortal body, need this Divine strength that I may face in reality sins of the past.

That when I am ready to look upon the God of my Being, and see the glory of all Creation, I will then have the strength to turn my back on the world and accept the eternal divinity.

I hail the symbol of our Order knowing the use of and accepting the responsibility of the elements of Creation—the power of the Word and Law.

Thus I offer myself on the fire-cross of the Spirit of God, surrounded by His Omnipotence with Life, Love and Light with the strength of the experience of my Soul.

Now that I pass through the crucifixion, I now seek the resurrection through regeneration. Thus, comes peace and freedom eternal.”

I now realize:

1. Oh Mortal, thou art the densest form and vehicle of God-Self.
2. Oh Mortal Body, thou art transitory.
3. Thou canst deceive me no longer, for thou art only what the real SELF makes of thee.
4. My Soul, I am only what thou art. All else is a passing fancy like the image in the mirror.
5. Therefore, I command my outer Being to humble its ego, and cast aside the veil and permit me to express from within, for God is within, and without. We are inseparable.

Meditate:

O Soul of me, do reveal in retrospection as I am in the eyes of the Cosmic.
Let man sit alone and keep silence. Amen.
