Aye, know ye man, that the Soul who dares the Barrier may be held in bondage by the HOUNDS from beyond time, held till this cycle is completed and left behind when the consciousness leaves. Entered I my body. Created the circles that know not angles, created the form that from my form was formed. Made my body into a circle and lost the pursuers in the circles of time. But, even yet, when free from my body, cautious ever must I be not to move through angles, else my soul may never be free. Know ye, the HOUNDS of the Barrier move only through angles and never through curves of space. Only by moving through curves can ye escape them, for in angles they will pursue thee. O man, heed ye my warning; Seek not to break open the gate to beyond. Few there are who have succeeded in passing the Barrier to the greater LIGHT that shines beyond. For know ye, ever the dwellers, seek such Souls to hold in their thrall. Listen, O man, and heed ye my warning; seek ye to move not in angles but curves, And if while free from thy body, though hearest the sound like the bay of a hound ringing clear and bell-like through thy being, flee back to thy body through circles, penetrate not the midst mist before. When thou hath entered the form thou hast dwelt in, use thou the cross and the circle combined. Open thy mouth and use thou thy Voice. Utter the WORD and thou shalt be free. Only the one who of LIGHT has the fullest can hope to pass by the guards of the way. And then must he move through strange curves and angles that are formed in direction not know to man. List ye, O man, and heed ye my warning: attempt not to pass the guards on the way. Rather should ye seek to gain of thine own Light and make thyself ready to pass on the way. -THOTH
