1By Feminine Powers or Principles, we mean the passive, recep¬ tive, intuitional qualities; and when speaking of the Masculine or Feminine Forces ruling in the world, as the case of Anael or Michael, we mean that the prevailing influence of the period is such as to evolve these qualities in the Races under its influence. 118 THE LIGHT OF EGYPT Students of the Occult will know that these seven Angels, exoterically called Cassiel, Zachariel, Samael, etc., are not single individual or Angelic or Spiritual Intelligences, but Angelic States, each state com¬ prising innumerable hosts of purified Angelic Beings. The reason why these seven states are termed the Seven Planetary Angels, is, because their special force or power in its effects upon the earth’s inhabitants, corresponds magnetically with the force exerted by the Seven Principle or Primary Planets whose names they bear; each state named after its corresponding Planetary Nature. These Seven ruling Principles in their combined total constitute ONE RAY of the PRIMAL ESSENCE; and it is this ESSENCE whom we call GOD, just as the seven varied tints in the rays of the Solar Spectrum, constitute the pure white Light of the Glorious Sun.
2There is, at the present day, a certain sect of Esoteric Christians, or more properly students of Esoteric Christianity, who have very mistaken ideas and opinions of what they call the new era, or the reign of Michael, which commenced A.D. 1881. Without in the least wishing to disparage the efforts of the students who are working with what light they possess, in the cause of Truth, we must warn the student of Occult Science against these erroneous theories, and say at once, that the Grand Galleries of the Great Pyramid have nothing whatever to do with “Anno Domini,” 1881. These Esoteric Christians are in possession of a certain book entitled “The Perfect Way,” or the “Finding of Christ.” Against this work we have not one single word to say, because it contains a vast amount of truth, but, like all works upon the Occult, the truths are hidden from the unitiated. Failing to perceive this fundamental fact, and taking the literal point of view, a vast number of Esoteric Christians, who completely misunderstand the sublime truths contained in the book, joyfully imagine and pro¬ claim to the public that this new Era begins the Love Element and the Feminine Forces of Nature; and Woman shall become triumphant during this era. That they are grossly in error “La Clef” will show. They further proclaim that “Woman” shall become the grand central figure of Humanity, the sublime Intuition of the Age. How these ex¬ ponents of Esoteric Christianity can reconcile this theory, we cannot understand. The feminine can never rule the masculine. As well say the positive can be controlled by the negative, or a passive resist an active force. Woman is in possession of a major portion of the
3Intuitional, or feminine principles or powers, and only a minor por¬ tion of the masculine. Man is just the reverse. Hence it will be seen that both sexes possess both qualities. When a race of Human beings is dominated chiefly by the feminine principle, as in most of the Oriental races of Humanity on every Planet, during the descent of spirit into matter, the people are by far the most spiritual, but at the same time they are vastly more dreamy, impracticable and simple, than they would be if governed by the masculine force chiefly. Hence it is that Humanity requires to undergo material incarnation; not to de¬ velop the feminine, but to evolve the masculine attributes of the Hu¬ man Soul, and thus round out the positive individuality that will enable the perfected Monad to say I Am. Again, many of the Esoteric Christians are possessed with a species of prophetic mania, and al¬ most go into hysterics of enthusiasm when they contemplate what they allegorically term the second coming of the Lord, i.e., the era of Michael, the Sun God, which, as they are well aware, commences in 1881. This class of Esoteric Christians triumphantly point to the Grand Gallery of the Great Pyramid, as indicating, by means of the Pyramidal inch, this Era, but, unfortunately for these individuals, the whole of their Esoteric Cycles, and a great part of their teachings, are not based upon the immutable laws of Nature, but upon the unsatis¬ factory foundation of mere assumption. To begin with, they assert that the index measurements of the Galleries of the Great Pyramid, con¬ sisting of 628, 1542, and 1881, point out certain periods of early Jew¬ ish, and later Christian history, and include the date, or time it was built, up to the present day, or A.D. 1881. These assertions, for they are nothing else, have no foundation in truth, and consequently are not worth the paper they are written on. This theory really amounts to saying that this grand monument of Ancient Egypt was built for the special purpose of recording the prophetical data of a nation of Israelitish Brigands, culminating with a Saviour sent to a nation of degraded vagabond Jews, to get murdered for his pains; and this Saviour’s second rule, or advent, as a spiritual power to a few sub¬ races or Western people who value little else but money and position, whose motto is, “All sink if I swim,” and whose only real God is Gold; this second advent is esoterically, they say, the true conception of Christ within, instead of without the Human Soul, of the people; but this theory is absurd upon the face of it, because the acknowledgement
