## MYSTIC ADORATION OF CEDAIOR FOR HIM THEM GODS OR LOGOS

Brahma! One and Supreme.

...Thou art the living source from which all and everyone emanate. Thy first adornment shines in Thy forehead and thy radiations form a Triangle whose splendor our human eyes cannot see.

From this Trimurti flow Seven Rays, and within each one of its Septenaries and infinite Subdivisions I see being born Gods, Mahadevas, Devas, of Seven Categories and millions of Emanations of all of Them.

...Upon arriving at the points where Thy Rays are obscurity, in comparison with the stupendous Light that they project when born from the Trimurti, I see Seven Worlds being formed. From them will be born other worlds, and upon these Bodies of Thy Spirit, will be born and transform millions of bodies where Thou enterest and dwellest, Thou being the Transformer, the Cause and the Law of such splendid Evolution...

I see Thee in Earth, in Water, in Fire, in Air, in Ether. I see Thee where Bodies do not yet exist. I see Thee in the Planet in ignition, in the stone, in the dust, in the tree, in all that has lived, in that which does not yet live...

I see Thee when there are no more Bodies, but only Desires. I see Thee when there are no more Desires, but only Forces. I see Thee when there are no more Forces, but only Breath. I see Thee when there is no more Breath, but only Sleep.

I see Thee when Thou art sleeping, because Thou art Eternal Life!...

## Commentary

This mystic prayer represents Cedaior's direct invocation and adoration of the Supreme Principle, addressed as Brahma in its absolute aspect. The text follows the classical pattern of mystical contemplation, beginning with the highest metaphysical principle and descending through successive levels of manifestation.

The prayer reflects deep knowledge of Hindu cosmology and Vedantic philosophy, particularly the concepts of:

- **Trimurti**: The triple aspect of divinity (Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva) - **Seven Rays**: The septenary manifestation of divine energy - **Mahadevas and Devas**: The hierarchical orders of spiritual beings - **Pralaya**: The cosmic sleep or dissolution period

The progression from Bodies to Desires to Forces to Breath to Sleep mirrors the classical yogic understanding of the koshas (sheaths of consciousness) and the stages of cosmic manifestation and dissolution. The vision of the Divine presence in all elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether) reflects the pantheistic realization common to advanced spiritual practitioners.

The vision of the Divine presence in all elements (Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Ether) reflects the pantheistic realization common to advanced spiritual practitioners.

This prayer serves as both a devotional practice and a metaphysical teaching, establishing the cosmological framework for understanding the Laws of Vayu within the context of eternal divine manifestation and withdrawal. It demonstrates Cedaior's synthesis of Eastern mysticism with Western esoteric Christianity, presenting Brahma as the ultimate Logos or Divine Word.
