I and He

by: Frater Mastema

(Probationer)

The scary sight of many a night in that far away place,
To finding lying around a black, gold trimmed case,
Look inside only to find an empty box in my hands,
So on I trudge to search again all the lands,
My journey is a long time gone by,
Another knot upon my belt would I tie.

(Neophyte)

My Path is all crooked, warped and twisted,
My Temple is dead or so they have listed,
My vision is dark and full of unsightly things,
Inside my mind a thousand bells ring,
A Lamp and a Staff I carry onward as I go,
To see through black: To stand as winds blow me to and fro,
I know as always you wonder on these things I say,
I will tell and telling you will pay.

(Promise of the Adept Grade)

So read on you faithful, daring and foolish! From this will ALL who are from HE who cannot be seen, manifest unto this place,
to wreak unholy havoc upon every Child of the Sun and Moon.

(Zelator)

Let us learn; that I and HE are really ONE,
Here is how my arduous journey was begun;
I called him forth with loud silence and weak force,
Straining to my core to find GOD at his source,
The DEVIL walked my way and stopped to speak,
I will put you on the Path but it is not for the weak,
I am the link! My quest will never end.
Said the DEVIL, a riddle then my foolish friend.
Upon the sky is my mark,
Upon the ground I am bound,
Everywhere the ONE is dark,
HE causes ALL things to go round,
So answer this absurd lark,
Where is HE your GOD found?

(Becoming a Practicus)

Puzzle and ponder to wrestle that answer free,
I looked and smiled and retorted, I is GOD and HE!
Then ask not my most wonderful MAN,
You have found the answer to PAN!

(The Invitation)

Close your mind and turn your third eye inside,
Take Lamp and Staff and me as a guide.
So with a chain in the dark was I led,
By the DEVIL who showed my every dread,
This dark and twisted Path I roam,
Looking for an eternal...
