Here we have, too, the four quarters of Atlantis, divided by its four rivers, as we shall see a little farther on, represented in a dance, where the dancers arrange themselves according to the four cardinal points of the compass; the dancers are painted to represent the black and red races, while “the first and only man” represents the white race; and the name of the dance is a reminiscence of Baal, the ancient god of the races derived from Atlantis.
We feared that some great harm had overtaken you.9. And Jesus said, Do you not know that I must be about my Father's work?10. But he went round and pressed the hand of every doctor of the law and said, I trust that we may meet again.11. And then he went forth with his parents on their way to Nazareth; and when they reached their home he wrought with Joseph as a carpenter.12. One day as he was bringing forth the tools for work he said,13. These tools remind me of the ones we handle in the workshop of the mind where things were made of thought and where we build up character.14. We use the square to measure all our lines, to straighten out the crooked places of the way, and make the corners of our conduct square.15. We use the compass to draw circles round our passions and desires to keep them in the bounds of righteousness.16. We use the axe to cut away the knotty, useless and ungainly parts and make the character symmetrical.17. We use the hammer to drive home the truth, and pound it in until it is a part of every part.18. We use the plane to smooth the rough, uneven surfaces of joint, and block, and board that go to build the temple for the truth.19. The chisel, line, the plummet and the saw all have their uses in the workshop of the mind.20. And then this ladder with its trinity of steps, faith, hope and love; on it we climb up to the dome of purity in life.21. And on the twelve-step ladder we ascend until we reach the pinnacle of that which life is spent to build--the Temple of Perfected Man.
1. A royal prince of India, Ravanna of Orissa in the south, was at the Jewish feast.2. Ravanna was a man of wealth; and he was just, and with a band of Brahmic priests sought wisdom in the West.3. When Jesus stood among the Jewish priests and read and spoke, Ravanna heard and was amazed.4. And when he asked who Jesus was, from whence he came and what he was, chief Hillel said,5. We call this child the Day Star from on high, for he has come to bring to men a light, the light of life; to lighten up the way of men and to redeem his people, Israel.6. And Hillel told Ravanna all about the child; about the prophecies concerning him; about the wonders of the night when he was born; about the visit of the magian priests;7. About the way in which he was protected from the wrath of evil men; about his flight to Egypt-land, and how he then was serving with his father as a carpenter in Nazareth.8. Ravanna was entranced, and asked to know the way to Nazareth, that he might go and honour such a one as son of God.9. And with his gorgeous train he journeyed on the way and came to Nazareth of Galilee.10. He found the object of his search engaged in building dwellings for the sons of men.11. And when he first saw Jesus he was climbing up a twelve step ladder, and he carried in his hands a compass, square and axe.12. Ravanna said, All hail, most favoured son of heaven!13. And at the inn Ravanna made a feast for all the people of the town; and Jesus and his parents were honoured guests.14. For certain days Ravanna was a guest in Joseph's home on Marmion Way; he sought to learn the secret of the wisdom of the son; but it was all to great for him.15. And then he asked that he might be the patron of the child; might take him to the East where he could learn the wisdom of the Brahms.16. And Jesus longed to go that he might learn; and after many days his parents gave consent.17. Then, with proud heart, Ravanna with his train, began the journey towards the rising sun; and after many days they crossed the Sind, and reached the province of Orissa, and the palace of the prince.18. The Brahmic priests were glad to welcome home the prince; with favour they received the Jewish boy.19. And Jesus was accepted as a pupil in the temple Jagannath; and here learned the Vedas and the Manic laws.20. The Brahmic masters wondered at the clear conceptions of the child, and often were amazed when he explained to them the meaning of the laws.
