…here is little doubt that He could only comply by an unbroken silence, and even that might not be wholly satisfactory, since the Tao Teh King says that the Tao cannot be de- clared either by silence or by speech. In this preliminary task of collecting materials, the idea of the Ego is not of such great moment; all impressions are phases of the non-ego, and the Ego serves merely as a receptacle. In fact, to the well regu- lated mind, there is no question but that the impressions are real, and that the mind, if not a tabula fasa, is only not so b…

…lar, the old conception of the Earth as a passive, immobile, even dead, even “evil” element, had to go. It was imperative to restore the King‐Scale colour attribution to that of the Aeon of Isis, Emerald Green, as was understood by the Egyptian Hierophants. This green is, however, not the original vegetable green of Isis, but the new green of spring following the resurrection of Osiris as Horus.
