said by Jesus of Nazareth, or Jeshua Ben-Panthera, are the words of an INITIATE. They have to be interpreted with the help of _three_ keys—one opening the _psychic_ door, the second that of physiology, and the third that which unlocks the mystery of terrestrial being, by unveiling the inseparable blending of theogony with anthropology. It is for revealing a few of these truths, with the _sole view of saving intellectual mankind from the insanities of materialism and pessimism_, that mystics have often been denounced as the servants of Antichrist, even by those Christians who are most worthy, sincerely pious and respectable men. ----- Footnote 44: “The key to the recovery of the language, so far as the writer’s efforts have been concerned, was found in the use, strange to say, of the discovered integral ratio in numbers of diameter to circumference of a circle,” by a geometrician. “This ratio is 6,561 for diameter and 20,612 for circumference.” (Cabalistic MSS.) In one of the future numbers of “LUCIFER” more details will be given, with the permission of the discoverer.—Ed. Footnote 45: Cory’s _Anc. Frag._, p. 59, f. So do Sanchoniaton and Hesiod, who both ascribe the _vivifying_ of mankind to the spilt blood of the gods. But blood and _soul_ are one (_nephesh_), and the blood of the gods means here the informing soul. Footnote 46: The existence of these _seven_ keys is virtually admitted, owing to deep research in the Egyptological lore, by Mr. G. Massey again. While opposing the teachings of “Esoteric Buddhism”—unfortunately misunderstood by him in almost every respect—in his Lecture on “The Seven Souls of Man,” he writes (p. 21):— “This system of thought, this mode of representation, this septenary of powers, in various aspects, had been established in Egypt, at least, seven thousand years ago, as we learn from certain allusions to Atum (the god ‘in whom the fatherhood was individualised as the _begetter of an eternal soul_,’ the _seventh_ principle of the Theosophists,) found in the inscriptions lately discovered at Sakkarah. I say in various aspects, _because the gnosis of the Mysteries was, at least, sevenfold in its nature_—it was Elemental, Biological, Elementary (human), Stellar, Lunar, Solar and Spiritual—and _nothing short of a grasp of the whole system can possibly enable us to discriminate the various parts, distinguish one from the other, and determinate the which and the what, as we try to follow the symbolical Seven through their several phases of character_.” -----
