This is the LAW of LIFE written bold that all may read aright and learn THE WAY OF MASTERSHIP! THOUGHTS ARE THE SHUTTLE OF LIFE'S WORKS, EXPERIENCE THE WARP, AND LIFE THE WOOF, THE CLOTH THE DEEDS WHEN SPUN, which cut according to RIGHT MEASUREMENT fit well, and the garment of every soul becomes. REASON MEASURES ALL! AND WISDOM GUIDES, and thus are the garments of life both small and great by a strict measurement made, wherein the law declares. THOU THYSELF THE LAW OF LIFE DOTH RULE; LIFE! THOU ART RULED BY ALL THE WISE; HE WHO THUS DOTH KNOW, KNOWS ALL IN LIFE TO BE, AS THE FUTURE LIFE'S DETERMINED BY THE PRESENT ONE WE LEAD. 72 [33]There is a GARDEN of which the Wise have told, with a RIVER that flows throughout, which when divided has FOUR HEADS, Oh, Students find this out. There is a "WORD" the Wise declare though "LOST" it's yours to find, that would unite these FOUR again; of this there is no doubt. It is FOUR-FOLD when opened out and the CROSS it brings to view; your life's engraved upon its "SQUARE" of which no erasion can be made nor "THY MARK" carved there be effaced. [33] This paragraph refers to the center of creative energy or the Garden of Iram. The Four Rivers symbolize the seasons, body, mind, soul, spirit, earth, fire, air, water, in their process of ivolution and evolution and its symbolic character is the Swastika Cross. 73 This inverted bowl we call the sky, is that Garden we've been told; the FOUR HEADS there have thus been named the LION, the MAN, the BULL, the BIRD. [34]Within these names four more are found; SPIRIT, SOUL, MIND, and BODY and yet again four more you have BIRTH, YOUTH, MANHOOD and AGE. When added TWELVE all told they make, and the names of the TRIBES reveal, from which all things their being take, and yet there are four to spare; REPTILES, BEASTS and BIRDS of song, with FISH of various kinds, when added go to make the MAN, OF SIXTEEN PARTS ALL TOLD. [34] This paragraph gives the symbolic names of the divine qualities that are found in man. 74 Who then doth hold this SECRET of the WAY, which from this CARNAL HOUSE of clay to FREEDOM makes? Or are we like the ever changing sea, IMPOTENT to change its currents or the wind? It is only a sluggard who doth question the reason of his birth; the Brave like soaring eagles rise high above the earth, They but know the PATH of DUTY, its GOLDEN WAY they tread, where trod the ANCIENT FATHERS who dissolved this life of earth. Thus look not on HIGH the GOOD TO FIND, nor search for it BELOW; GOOD IS THE WHOLE, AND DEATH BUT LIFTS THE SCENES AS THEY UNFOLD. 75
