From the pinnacle of the 7th Ray the Nine God-Forms descend into
the Star of Matter. In this six-foldness the Golden Triangle of Above and Below
unite as one solidarity. Herein is founded the Rose Mystica, the
incorporation of the Light Molecule in matter. Twelve are the Stations of
Service radiating from the Fearless Flame within the Rose.
Two temples are bound in one stone, as two heads roaring upon
the body of a single beast. The lion is the servant of the lamb, in whose book
the Sacred Name is written. This is the 1st Square of the Rose-Stone. Herein is
given the testament of Saul, ruled by Michael, Lord Host of the fiery sword.
The apple tree casts no shadow nor do its branches bend in
burden, for the fruit of the tree is consumed by the tree, and the seed is not
scattered to the winds. This is the 2nd Square, in whose firmament is rooted
Eve, invested by Isis, Veiled Mother of the world.
As the Saf-Fire Cup pours into the vessel of Man, so his bond
with Earth shall be broken, and a New Covenant will be forged in Heaven and cast
molten, into the sea. This is the dominion of the 3rd Square, ruled by Metatron,
Lord of the White Sun at the center of the Universe, whose sovereign emissary is
Thoth, Tehuti of Old.
Behold the Night of Stars, into which all emptiness is filled
with wonder. Seven temptations will come before Her Throne, and seven creatures
will rise victorious from Her Crown. This is the 4th Square of the Rose-Stone,
Goddess of the Fearless Flame. Her mantle is upon Mari of
Magdalene.
There are 72 petals composing the Rose Mystica,
each petal emanating an out-folding and an in-folding of a Divine Being.
