“In the old books, it is said that the Old Motherland was ruled by the Queen of Light, who was supreme above all. The temple tales tell that the lesser gods came to dwell among mortals when the Mistress of Brightness ruled in Kelathi, that they were sheltered in temples, and priests were appointed to minister unto them. It is said that places of instruction were setup within the temples, but few men were taught the inner knowledge. It was rightly held that it would be a danger to those without wisdom, and it had
to be safeguarded. Is this not the tale told in the Book of Beginnings? It is said that Kelathi lay within the borders of Kahemu, but could it not have been the land of similar sounding name outward from Pontas beyond Godsland?
“Is it not said of both that they were engulfed in fire and water? In the Book of Beginnings, it is said: The generations passed, and a vast amount of knowledge and wisdom was accumulated and preserved in purity. It was the heritage of mankind, but though man had learned to cherish the
light of Truth and walk wisely with it, nevertheless then as now, false priesthoods flourished. They pandered to the carnal desires of the undeveloped and exploited the weaknesses of the ignorant. Their iniquity built up a vast weight of evil in the Netherworld, which projected itself into the material of Earth, so that the powers which upheld it became unstable. This caused all the southern part of the Old Land to sink down into heaving waters.”
-The Kolbrin Bible(MAN:31:7-8)
Queen of Light
Since this part of the Kolbrin Bible was written by ancient Egyptian Priests, we can assume “the Old Motherland” was Egypt. It is not clear who this “Queen of Light” was, but it makes sense that at a time when Egypt had many mystery schools, or temples, that they would be ruled by a person of Light. In other words, she was a very advanced spiritual person.
Lesser Gods
While the author calls these beings “lesser gods,” they were probably not gods at all, but highly advanced spiritual people.
Few Were Taught the Inner Knowledge
Just as Jesus taught basic moral teachings to the public and limited the advanced teachings to his apostles and deciples, the ancient mystery schools didn’t teach advanced spiritual knowledge to just anyone who asked. In most such schools, students were accepted on a trial basis for a period of two or three years. During that period, they were taught only the basics. At the end of the trial period, the teacher would decide if they should move on to more advanced teachings or not.
Book of Beginnings
This Book of beginnings seems to be both a book of spiritual knowledge as well as a book of the history of the mystery schools. A great amount of wisdom was accumulated and preserved. Whether it was preserved in books, or only shared orally is unclear, but it is known that these temples forbid writing down much of that knowledge, unless it was written in allegory to prevent the wrong kind of people from learning such knowledge.
False Priesthoods Flourished
We see much of this today. In fact, nearly all churches and religions today do not teach the spiritual truths at all. Some churches today don’t even teach spiritual development, but just moral and social rules for existing in the material world. While such teachings are useful, they do nothing for awakening and developing the Spirit.
