“The Leader of the Light cried out, “O Great God, what can I do; how shall your servants be saved? What shall be done unto those who have profaned your sacred shrines? What can I do to turn back the rising waters of iniquity and temper the wild winds of wickedness? How can the black cloud of ignorance be lifted? What shall be the just reward of those who have slain the faithful?” The voice coming forth by the Spirit of God said, “Concern yourself not with those who have persecuted you, leave them to follow the path of their own choice. Vengeance is with Me; I will measure without stint. Justice never sleeps and never forgets; the reward of the wicked awaits them. In the Hall of No Hiding Place justice will speak the final word.

“The Leader of light and those with him fled into the land beyond Shari and built there the Temple in the Rock, which stands against Shina. In this land, the forces of the Dark Ones were cast back; yet still, some among the faithful beseeched their God to save them. Thus it has ever been, this is the nature of man that in his hour of distress he cries out to God in bitterness of heart, and they who deserted God in better times expect Him to turn towards them. Yet such is the nature of God that this He would do, were

it to the good of men, which it is but rarely. In the land of Egypt, the great shrines were deserted by the Enlightened Ones and abandoned by Truth. They became places of darkness. They were as lamps without flame, as fields without crops, as wells without water.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (MAN:34:27-28)

The Leader of the Light

The Leader of the Light was probably the head of the largest of the mystery schools of ancient Egypt. He earned this title by being the most spiritually developed person in the school. He is pleading with God to help save those who have remained true servants of God. He also asks that the “cloud of ignorance” be lifted from those who remain. In Cosolargy, we understand that ignorance is the cause of all sin, specifically, ignorance of God. Those who know God do not sin, as they know they are only harming themselves by doing so.

Do Not be Concerned with Those Who Prosecute You

This is a difficult directive to follow, but we should try our best. Because of the way our subconscious mind works, what we dwell on is what will most likely happen to us, so if we dwell on those who prosecute us, we invite more of that behavior into our lives. If we dwell instead on love and forgiveness, we reduce the ability of evil to affect us.

Temple in the Rock

We don’t know where this temple is, but it is most likely somewhere in Greece. We know that is where the remnants of the great Mystery Schools of ancient Egypt went after their nation lost its way. We can assume that “Shina” is another name for Satan. Schools and temples of truth and spiritual development have always opposed the evil of Satan and his followers, not by returning violence with violence, but by practicing love and sending thoughts of peace, love, and harmony into the world.

“Be ever above price. One worthy of the greatness you reflect on Earth, one ever above mundane things. Be not as the ferryman who demands payment before his task is fulfilled, who bears upon the water the man who makes payment and no other. Be as the sun, whose brightness seeks out every nook and cranny and pours light into their hidden gloom. Be one who shines among men to lighten their days. Spread uprightness and honesty across the two lands, as the sunshine spreads brightness and warmth. Cover the land with goodness, as the rising waters cover it with fertility. Fill the land with strength, as the northwind fills it with contentment.

“Guard Your heart, as a father guards his daughter, as a mother guards her baby, for it is the stronghold of integrity. Be vigilant concerning every deed, for the eyes of men are ever upon you, the life you

live is not yours alone. You are the image, which men will imitate, and you are before every eye. The blowing wind will open its ear at your windows and spread wide its report. The flowing waters beside your door will uncover their eyes and carry what they behold through the land. Your position makes

you a supporting pillar of the government; if the pillars be rotten, the roof crashes. Your responsibilities will beset your life with care; the road you journey is stony and encompassed with pitfalls and thorns. The cup You drink will be more often bitter than sweet.”

-The Kolbrin Bible (Man:34:15-16)

Be Above Price

This doesn’t mean that you can’t get paid for the work you do. It means that you don’t base your ethics and morality on money. A job or career that pays more isn’t necessarily more worthy than a lower-paying one. Of course, your talents and abilities have to be taken into account, but you still need to choose what is moral and ethical.

Be Not Like the Ferryman

Most of us really have no choice in this. If we work for someone else, they pay us only after the work is done. If we work for ourselves, we can’t expect payment in advance. But the ferryman is one exception to this rule. Obviously, the ferryman can’t wait until he has traveled to the other shore before asking for payment. While that might work in some cases, it does make sense for him to ask for payment in advance.

Be Like the Sun

The sun does not expect payment for sending its light out to all. But it is true that the Spiritual Light sent out by the sun is not absorbed by the materialist. One needs to develop their Spirit in order to absorb Spiritual Light.

Cover the Land with Goodness

Being a spiritual person isn’t just a matter of developing yourself. We also need to do what we can to help others. Sometimes, that will be done by directly helping a specific person. More often, it will be simply sending some of the energy we take in back out into the world, filled with thoughts of peace, love, and harmony.

Guard Your Heart

In many ancient writings, “heart” actually means your spirit. So this means that you should take care to guard your spirit against evil influences. One way to do this is to visualize the Community Cross in front of the sun when you practice solar techniques. Another is to avoid people who make you feel uncomfortable or tired whenever you are around them. In situations where you must be around such people, you can visualize a shield of light around you, blocking out their influence.
