"Mystery in Mystery, yet clear to the Light-born, the Secret of all I now will reveal.
I will declare a secret to the initiated, but let the door be wholly shut against the profane.
Three is the mystery, come from the great one.
Hear, and Light on thee will dawn.
In the primeval, dwell three unities.
Other than these, none can exist.
These are the equilibrium, source of creation: one God, one Truth, one point of freedom.
Three come forth from the three of the balance: all life, all good, all power.
Three are the qualities of God in his Light-home: Infinite power, Infinite Wisdom, Infinite Love.
Three are the powers given to the Masters: To transmute evil, assist good, use discrimination.
Three are the things inevitable for God to perform: Manifest power, wisdom and love.
Three are the powers creating all things: Divine Love possessed of perfect knowledge,
Divine Wisdom knowing all possible means, Divine Power possessed by the joint will of Divine Love and Wisdom.
Three are the circles (states) of existence: The circle of Light where dwells nothing but God, and only God can traverse it the circle of Chaos where all things by nature arise from death the Circle of awareness where all things spring from life.
All things animate are of three states of existence: chaos or death, liberty in humanity and felicity of Heaven.
Three necessities control all things: beginning in the Great Deep, the circle of chaos, plenitude in Heaven.
Three are the paths of the Soul: Man, Liberty, Light.
Three are the hindrances: lack of endeavor to obtain knowledge; non-attachment to god; attachment to evil. In man, the three are manifest.
Three are the Kings of power within. Three are the chambers of the mysteries, found yet not found in the body of man."
