To follow the Lord Is the beginning of
Wisdom: And the knowledge Of the Holy One Is understanding. For by him Thy days shall be
multiplied, And the years of thy
life Shall be increased. All Wisdom cometh
from the Heavenly Father, And is with him forever. Through the holy Law
doth the Angel of Wisdom Guide the Children of Light. Who can number the sand of the sea, And the drops Of rain, and the days of eternity? Who can find out the
height of heaven, And the breadth of
the earth, And the deep, and
wisdom? Wisdom hath been
created before all things. One may heal with
goodness, One may heal with
justice, One may heal with
herbs, One may heal with
the Wise Word. Amongst all the
remedies, This one is the
healing one That heals with the Wise Word. And one it is that
will best drive away sickness From the bodies of the faithful, For Wisdom is the best healing of all remedies. To follow the holy
Law is the crown of Wisdom, Making peace and
perfect health to flourish, Both which are the gifts of the Angels. We would draw near
unto thee, O Heavenly Father! With the help of thy Angel of Wisdom, Who guides us by
means of thy Heavenly Order, And with the actions
and the words inspired by thy holy Wisdom! Come to us, Heavenly
Father, with thy creative mind, And do thou, who bestoweth gifts Through thy Heavenly Order, Bestow alike the
longlasting gift of Wisdom Upon the Children of Light, T'hat this life
might be spent in holy service in the Garden of the
Brotherhood. In the realm of thy good mind, Incarnate in our minds, The path of Wisdom doth flow From the Heavenly Order, Wherein doth dwell the sacred Tree of Life. In what fashion is
manifest thy Law, O Heavenly Father! The Heavenly Father
makes answer: By good thought In perfect unity
with Wisdom, O Child of Light! What is the word
well spoken? It is the
blessing-bestowing word of Wisdom. What is the thought
well thought? It is that which the
Child of Light thinketh, The one who holdeth
the Holy Thought To be the most of
value of all things else. So shall the Child
of Light grow In concentration and communion, And he may develop Wisdom, And thus shall he continue Until all the
mysteries of the Infinite Garden Where standeth the
Tree of Life Shall be revealed to
him. Then shall he say
these victorious words: O Heavenly Father! Give unto me my task For the building of
thy Kingdom on earth, Through good
thoughts, good words, good deeds, Which shall be for
the child of Light His most precious
gift. O thou Heavenly
Order! And thou Universal
Mind! I will worship thee
and the Heavenly Father, Because of whom the
creative mind within us Is causing the
Imperishable Kingdom to progress! Holy Wisdom maketh
all men free from fear, Wide of heart, and
easy of conscience. Holy Wisdom, the
understanding that unfolds forever, Continually, without
end, And is not acquired
through the holy scrolls. It is ignorance that
ruineth most people, Both amongst those
who have died, And those who shall
die. When ignorance will
be replaced by Holy Wisdom, T'hen will sweetness
and fatness come back again To our land and to
our fields, With health and
healing, With fu lnessy and
increase, and growth, And abundance of
corn and of grass, And rivers of Peace
shall flow through the desert.
