The Equinox (Volume I, Number V)

THE EQUINOX 37. Many have arisen, being foolish. They have said, “ Stoop down unto the darkly splendid world, and be wedded to that Blind Creature of the Slime.” 38. Ι who am beyond Wisdom and Folly, arise and say unto you: achieve both weddings! Unite yourselves with both! 39. Beware, beware, Ι say, lest ye seek after the one and lose the other! 40. My adepts stand upright ; their head above the heavens, their feet below the hells. 41. But since one is naturally attracted to the Angel, another to the Demon, let the first strengthen the lower link, the last attach more firmly to the higher. 42. Thus shall equilibrium become perfect. I will aid my disciples; as fast as they acquire this balanced power and joy so faster will I push them. 43. They shall in their turn speak from this Invisible Throne; their words shall illumine the worlds. 44. They shall be masters of majesty and might; they shall be beautiful and joyous; they shall be clothed with victory and splendour; they shall stand upon the firm foundation ; the kingdom shall be theirs; yea, the kingdom shall be theirs. In the name of the Lord of Initiation. Amen. 22
