SECOND MOUNTAIN: THE RESURRECTION
It is clear that we, the Brothers of the Temple of the twice born, have eliminated from our psyche several subjective, infrahuman aspects; however, after having gone through the Eight Initiations, we yearned with all the strength of the Soul to join the magic esoteric works of the Mountain of the Resurrection.
In the Temple we were told that we should wait with infinite patience for the abbot of the Monastery; however it is evident that the long and boring hours passed with an unbearable monotony. The Venerable One did not seem to be in any hurry.
Some of the veterans of the First Mountain were everywhere, here and there, protesting impatiently for the singular delay of the superior.
There are events in this life which are surprising, and one of them was the astonishing entrance of the abbot of the Temple. All the Brothers of the Sacred Order were amazed, because some of our people had already lost any hope of seeing the Master.
Before the Sacred Brotherhood the Venerable One spoke, saying:
“Brothers, you are missing two virtues that this brother does have”
—saying this, he pointed at me with the index finger.
Later on, in a manner at the same time sweet and imperative, he ordered me thus:
—“Brother, tell them which are those virtues.
One must know how to be patient, one must know how to be serene.
I said with a clear and deliberate voice…
—Can you see now? Are you convinced?”—burst forth the abbot with great solemnity. The Adepts, at the same time scared and amazed, chose to keep a respectful silence.
Unquestionably all the members of the congregation, with my exception only, had then to be deferred, because only my own insignificant, worthless person came victorious out of this difficult test.
The austere Hierophant then presented me with a beautiful orange; I captured its deep meaning immediately…
Much later in time I had to appear before the Brotherhood of another Monastery of the Universal White Brotherhood with the definite purpose of receiving instructions and signing documents…
Then I was warned with the following words: “You must take good care of yourself from the lunar chill”.
It was urgent for me to come back to the Burning Forge of Vulcan after a long recess.
Unquestionably, between Mountain and Mountain there are always long periods of sexual abstinence.
