Now am I strong in Thee, O Jehovih. Thy bow in the firmament encompasseth me on<br \/>\nall sides. The follies of earth have turned mine eyes up toward thy holy place.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. I have beholden Thine enemies bowed down. The king and the mighty man of valor<br \/>\nwith the two-edged sword are hid away in a dark corner. There is no light for them.<br \/>\nSweet-scented flowers hast Thou grown up in the way of him who will not look upward;<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">but a serpent cometh upon him and he crieth out against the vanities of the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. In the far-off corners of the world hast Thou sown the seed of evil and death, and the<br \/>\nman of darkness hurrieth thither; but Thy glories he will not behold. He buildeth his<br \/>\nfoundation in perishable things. But the hope of the righteous man lighteth up the inner<br \/>\nchamber. He beholdeth Thy judgment seat. He seeketh Thee in all good things and<br \/>\ndurable; he glorifieth Thee in Thy works.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. I will turn away from my house and my lands and look upward all my days. Yea, the<br \/>\nfruits of the earth shall be my servants; my crown shall be woven by Thy hands.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. My heart pointeth up toward Thy kingdom; but the heart of the man of darkness is<br \/>\ndownward to things that perish? Thou hast set Eon (Aries or Te) in the midst, and he shall<br \/>\njudge the living and the dead.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Thou hast made me above the diamond and above all precious stones; but the man<br \/>\nof darkness goeth after these. Thy children he careth not for; he seeth not. Verily, will<br \/>\nI run quickly to them and lift them up. They shall be gems for my raiment; they<br \/>\nshall become a glory in Thy sight. Yea, I will turn their eyes up toward Thy holy place.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Before them will I set up Gau, and the magnitude and glory of Thy worlds shall<br \/>\nentrance them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Thy unseen hand shall become seen, and my brothers and sisters shall read the diadems<br \/>\nin Thy firmament. Thine hand hath quickened my eyes to see and mine ears to hear Thee,<br \/>\nO Thou Life of my life!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. My understanding cometh out of Thy tablet (book). Its pages are graven with the sun,<br \/>\nmoon and stars. Yea, all things proclaim the words Thou hast written. None can<br \/>\ncounterfeit Thy handiwork. From Thy tablet will I read from the rising of the sun till the<br \/>\ngoing down thereof.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. My hands shall be skilled with tools to do Thy labor. Fabrics will I weave, and my<br \/>\nhouse shall be built within the square of Thy compass, for it shall be righteous work. My<br \/>\neye shall look toward Thy dwelling-place. I know Thy sight is upon me. I will be joyful<br \/>\nbefore Thee, my Father!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. To none other will I bow myself in supplication and worship. Before Thee will I labor<br \/>\nfor peace on all occasions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. My hand will I uplift in Thy behalf, and yet no man shall feel the weight of mine arm<br \/>\nupon him. By Thy crescent am I sworn unto Thee. By the seven stars and by the sun<br \/>\nwhich is in the midst of the firmament and is the glory thereof, and by the moon, have I<br \/>\nspoken.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. Before Rea (Es, the air and ether), in Thy name have I sworn. I have lifted up my<br \/>\nvoice. I will have no diadem but that that is woven by Thee!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. I will sing Thee new songs every day, and find new words of praise for Thy glories.<br \/>\nMy trials shall be as whet-stones and a hewing-ax. My talents shall increase in wisdom<br \/>\nand in whatsoever way Thou leadest me for my own good.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Before Thy sacred altar will I come, knowing Thy angels will come also. Yea, they<br \/>\nshall teach me thy decrees.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Thy gifts shall be my gifts, my portion, whatsoever seemeth just in Thy sight.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Thy messengers shall come to me, and my house shall be their house, they shall<br \/>\nbehold my labor; they shall admonish me wisely.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. They shall teach me wisdom in all Thou desirest of me. The secret of my love to Thee<br \/>\nwill I tell them, and I know they will lift me up for Thy glory. In Thy praise will I sing<br \/>\nforever, O Jehovih!

Tablet of Ancient Egypt.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Those who sat around the table for spirit communion kept their eyes riveted on the graven<br \/>\ncharacters. He who sat at the end where the crown is, was the oldest and was called<br \/>\nrab&#8217;bah (father). It will be observed that the invocation is more than an interpretation<br \/>\nof the characters, although they are all designated in the words. The rab&#8217;bah led off,<br \/>\nbut all the circle joined in the reading of it. The gau, the plumb-line, was moved by<br \/>\nthe spirits in answer to the questions of the rab&#8217;bah. In some countries the gypsies, , who<br \/>\nare supposed to be descendents to ancient Egypt, still invoke spirits in this way.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HO\u2018ED<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-356 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Plate-78-Tablet-of-Hyyi-156x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"156\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Plate-78-Tablet-of-Hyyi-156x300.jpg 156w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Plate-78-Tablet-of-Hyyi-141x270.jpg 141w, https:\/\/religionoflight.org\/ns\/lightofgod\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2019\/07\/Plate-78-Tablet-of-Hyyi.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 156px) 100vw, 156px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Plate 78. TABLET OF HY\u2019YI.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">These Tablets were engraved on inlaid tables, called family altars, around<br \/>\nwhich the family sat for spirit communion and prayer. The father led in repeating<br \/>\nthe invocation, and the wife and children spoke in concert. After the Israelites<br \/>\nleft Egypt, the graven tablets were abolished, but invocation at the family table<br \/>\nwas continued, and is even to this day amongst some of the Jews (so-called).&#8211;[Ed.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Mithra the first was about 4,000 years before kosmon.<br \/>\nMithra the second was about 2,000 years before Kosmon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Invocation readeth:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Mithra said: Ye that invoke Me, the Swift, Shining, with sword uplifted. Invoke me on<br \/>\nthe Tablet of the sun, and the world, and the crown, high raised. Bow down low and say:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Behold, the rose, deep rooted in the earth. Jehovih riseth in majesty of All Light.<br \/>\nHis colors no man maketh, nor knoweth any man the cause. This subtle perfume,<br \/>\nwhence cometh it, and whither goeth it? What power fashioneth it, and propelleth it?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. O Thou, unseen Om! Is my spirit like perfume? Whence cometh it, and whither goeth<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">it? Give me of Thy Mithra, O Om!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Make my heart look upward to Thee, Thou all Pure, Heavenly! Wife, and Spouse and<br \/>\nMother! Thou that cometh, I adore Thee!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. The corporeal world hast Thou, O Jehovih, placed in the midst of the lowest places,<br \/>\nbringing forth. Bind my soul not to it, Thou All Going-forth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. My heart no longer looketh downward; my corporeal passions have I subdued. Yea,<br \/>\neven the diamond binds me not, the highest shining corporeal thing.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Thou, O Corporeal Sun, burning and full of flame, that bringest forth the corporeal,<br \/>\ngrowing harvests, hear me proclaim the All Eye that createth, making the souls of men.<br \/>\nThou, O Corporeal Sun, that makest of the things that are made, what a glory is thine! But<br \/>\nfar off, and nearer than Thou art, O Sun, is Jehovih, Who createth without things that are<br \/>\nmade, the All First Creator. He goeth forth, Jehovih. He cometh Om, the Bride and<br \/>\nMother, nursing with full breasts.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. O thou Moon, hear my upward soul aspiring above all corporeal things! Thou, my<br \/>\nLove and Majestic and ruler of waters and winds, I adore Thee. But a greater, the All<br \/>\nGreat Om, fed thee. From her breasts wert Thou, O moon, high upraised. Eolin, the<br \/>\nMighty, touched Thee with his little finger and Thou hast sped on. Come Thou to me, O<br \/>\nOm, spouse of the Seen and Unseen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. O ye Stars, full of shining in the high heavens. Who can measure your far-off places?<br \/>\nWho can see your great corporeal majesty? O what a glory is yours, thrown in the high<br \/>\nheavens! Thither, far, the soul of my forefathers roam full of praise and prayer. Make me<br \/>\nall pure, O Thou Om, that I may ascend.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Send forth Thy Crown, O Eolin, Creator of all moving things. O Thou<br \/>\nIncomprehensible and full of glory! Make me oblivious to all corporeal things, and fill me<br \/>\nwith Thy going-forth forever.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11.
