And let him say in a loud voice : Hail unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy hiding, even unto Thee who art Khephra in Thy silence, who travellest over the Heavens in Thy bark at the Midnight Hour of the Sun. Tahuti standeth in His splendour at the prow, and Ra- Hoor abideth at the helm. Hail unto Thee from the Abodes of Evening. 5. And after each of these invocations thou shalt give the sign of silence, and afterwards thou shalt perform the adora- tion that is taught thee by thy Superior. And then do thou compose Thyself to holy meditation. 6.

Thus shalt thou ever be mindful 01 the Great Work which thou hast undertaken to perform, and thus shalt thou be strengthened to pursue it unto the attainment 01 the Stone of the Wise, the Summum Bonum, True Wisdom and Perfect Happiness. 32
