The Revelation

March 2. Upon the close of this Subject, I had renewed again from the Person of my Lord, a fiery Shower; that did fall as the dropping Rain from the Holy Ghost, to refresh and bring up what hath been sown by the former Revelations, which is to be looked for as the effect of every true discovery: And I desire the same plentiful Shower may come down upon them, who shall receive and read the Words of this Prophecy. For a most wonderful and strange time is at hand, and doth call upon us to leave the Moabitish Land, and to engrave our Names on every one of Wisdom’s Gates, that so we may claim a right to enter, and not be only Spectators and Admirers without of the great Riches and Glory, to which Magical Spirits are advanced. But we are yet to open a more inward Ear, to hear the Message, which the Lord hath expressly left for his Elect, who are watching at Wisdom’s Gates, from thence to ascend one step higher, that they may be enclosed in the Magical Eye of the Holy Ghost, where the highest Wisdom is to be learnt and understood, and actually practiced, for the planting of a new Paradisical Nursery, and its never-fading Beauty and Glory. By which means the Deity may be invited to renew his Walks with Men, as at the beginning. Who will take great delight to see the Children of Paradise acting Magically under the Conduct and Government of the Eye of the Holy Ghost: For no work or action is so agreeable to the Trinity, as that which is wrought from the Magical seeing Eye, where God beholds and views himself in his manifold Wonders of Wisdom, in Nature’s Virginity. But now the great Question of those who are willing to be Wisdom’s Disciples, is, Which way they may ascend up to this Globe-Eye, to become Magicians in the Holy Ghost’s Property? This Question is deep and weighty, and shall be answered according to the Gift of Revelation received; Know then, that the way to ascend to the Globe-Eye, is through its descending down into the Root-Essence of the Soul, and contracting with it Philosophically, turning it into a Magick Eye; where then it may most easily ascend, and fly to be an Eye, in the Globe-Eye, before which all stands naked and open, whatsoever hath proceeded from the Center-Ground of God’s Globe of Eternity. Therefore they who shall find such favour, as to be introverted and environed with this Eye, may well come to understand the grounds of the divine Magia, and be able to exert it from the Co-essential Power of the Holy Ghost; without which all attempts for it will lie in Scorn and Derision. Hence we may understand where the Ground-work for divine Philosophy doth lie; whereby great Overturns and mighty Changes may be effected in this World’s Region, where God will have great occasions for the divine Magi to act in his behalf. And truly somewhat begins to work in order hereunto; for the Magick Eye hath cast forth an enticing Glance to draw up unto it, and there to stand a while as locked up in it, as a close working Philosopher, that carefully tends his Furnace, where the Coelestial Fire burns softly to bring forth the transparent Stone, in which the first-born Magick of the Holy Ghost doth consist: But here we may be said to launch so deep into the Abyssal Eye, as to lose our selves whilst we are seeking this one precious thing, that can make this old wrinkled Face of the Creation to become young and fresh, as Paradise in its first springing. But who will grieve at the loss of this gross Matter? The true Philosopher well knows, that this is the gross Body which the Fire is to kindle upon, being of that penetrating Nature, as to dissolve the whole bulk of Sensuality, with the strong twisted band of Rationality: for when the great Artificer, the Holy Ghost, comes to set his Furnace at work in very deed, in the Soul, all gross thick matter does by degrees transpire. For what is so great an Enemy to the divine Magia, as the rational Wisdom, which is in strong Combination with the humane Sense? It is as an Inundation of Waters which hath prevailed like Noah’s Flood, to drown the Fire-spark of Faith, so that is scarce to be found alive in any ones Earth: All Furnaces have hitherto been too weak; the strong Tide of the rational Mind hath broke in like a Sea, to chill and damp what the Spirit of God would have still blown up unto Victory. For whosoever shall attain to be an Adeptist in the Magical Eye of Sophia, must watch the Mouth of the Furnace continually, that the Spirit of Faith may work high through the gentle heat and constant supply of that Matter which maintains the Heavenly Fire, which can only master and get dominion over all the thick dark Body of Mortal Sense, which hath long been the grand Adversary of Virgin-Wisdom’s Magicians, and hath kept them from attaining the Gate of Projection. Now what is there to be considered further, to help us forward in this high point of Magical Philosophy, seeing the benefits are of so great import, and serve for the repairing of a ruinous state of things within our selves, and every where round about us. We are to observe these Orders and Rules, which go along with Faith’s Magia. First, There must be an absolute trust reposed in Christ the essential Deity, as contracting and coagulating with our soulish Essence, and thereby recover our unipotency. O The depth of those Sayings of our Lord, when personally upon the Earth, who still invited and called upon all to believe on him, as Co-essential with the Father, and thereby entrusted with all that Power and Sufficiency, which can be called God’s. Now here is given us to understand a deep and mystical Sense; how that the Lord did not limit or shut up the Faith to his particular Personality and Appearance on the Earth; for that was not to abide, but directed to the exerting forth of our Faith to the Lo I am, in whom there is no change to the end of all Worlds. He is now therefore to be believed on, as introduced into our soulish Essence; for there he brings in the Globe-Eye, as the sure Ground-work for all the various operations of the Holy Ghost to act out the great Magical Powers from: Thus our Faith is directed to a God-like Almightiness within our selves. If we can but find the Incarnation of Christ, the Lord in us, we then have a sure and steady Anchor for our Faith to hold by, and work out our freedom Magically; And having somewhat of subtle pure Matter to work upon, we may go on forward to Projection. Another Rule is, the going forth in the prerogative Royal of the Will, that is immersed into, and become one with the Power of the Holy Ghost. We may remember that Christ the Lord, upon doing any great or marvelous Cure, put forth the Soveraignity of his Will, as when he said to the Leper, I Will be thou clean: And sometimes he put it to those, who, he perceived had Faith in him, saying, What Will ye that I should do unto you? And no less was effected for them than they desired the Lord should do for them. These expressions of our Saviour may be a grand Rule for us to follow, and ought well to be regarded by us; for in the Will is the highest Magick, when it is united with the Will of the Highest; when these two Wheels meet in one, they are the swift running Charriot, which nothing can cross or stop, in which the Bridegroom, with his Bride Sophia, ride most triumphantly together over all things, viz. over Rocks, Mountains, and Hills, which are all made plain before them, and Seas dyed up. What is able to resist a Will that is united with God’s Will, before which every thing must stoop and bow? which Will, when ever it goes forth, always accomplisheth its Enterprise. Its not a naked Will that wants its Garment of Power: impregnable Almightiness is with it, to pluck up, to plant, to kill, and to make alive; to bind and to loose, to save and destroy: All which Power will be centered in the Royal free-born-will, which we shall come fully to know, and to understand, as we are made one in the Holy Ghost; then may we go forth safe and secure in the Magick Will, to glorifie the great Elohim, whether in Body visible or invisible; all is and shall be acted forth according to the fore-sight of the Magical Globe-Eye, and carried on, in and through the operation of the Holy Ghost in impotent and despicable Vessels in the Eye of the World. These are they whom God will take into his high School of divine Wisdom, there to be brought up in the deep Wisdom, and to be so perfectly accomplished, as that nothing may be beyond their art and skill to perform, to exalt and magnifie their God and King, by whom alone they shall be enabled to do all marvelous things. Now from the fore-going Rules, we are taught to drown the Many Wills, that have been generated from the mixed Essence of the Soul, and to loose them in the Abyssal-Deep, from whence then may spring the Virgin-Will, that never was in Bondage to any thing of degenerate Man, but stands free and clear in Conjunction with Almighty Power. Which will most certainly produce answerable Consequences, as kept fixed in the Socket, where the burning Oil of the Holy Ghost flames out in sparkling Magick, operating here and there upon Persons and Things, for Change and Renovation: yet none can pierce the way, but such as are become Masters of his high Art. I know nothing more worthy for the single Eye to look into, and contend for, than the Magia of Faith, which was once delivered unto, and exerted by the Saints of former Generations; and why we should give it for lost now, I see no cause, but should be earnest for the reviving of it, and calling it up from the Dead. I shall not here determin whether for want of this Power, we may not lie under the charge of having lost our first Love: but sure I am, that this Magical Power of Faith is in a manner quite lost, for the re-attaining of which, the Holy Ghost is awakening Wisdom’s slumbering Virgins: And therefore the Lord hath appeared in his own glorified Humanity to reveal these Mysteries, and that by one who is as the smallest Dust, that lies under the trampling Power of the earthly Wife, and those that are mighty in Reason. Yet here the Way is laid open to attain to this All-powerful Activity in the Magia of the Holy Ghost, to encourage and provoke us to set upon the work, giving Praise unto him, who hath been pleased to reveal where the Key of the Magia doth lie, which will open that Treasury that can fully enrich all impoverished Souls. Wherefore it is worth the lending our Ear to Wisdom’s renewed Call and Cry, and no longer to delay, but hasten to get through all her Gates, and to be Planters of a new Paradisical Earth; through the Magical Operation of the Holy Ghost, which is the absolute imployment and business of Some known to God, who if they continue faithful, shall never have reason to be ashamed, or repent of their being engaged therein; notwithstanding they may meet with great Threats and Sufferings at first from Nabal, the churlish Spirit of this World, that can love or favour nought but what is of its own liking. But Wisdom’s Children shall be able to set themselves free, as they become Students in the Art of this divine Magia. And Rebecca the true Virgin-Mother, is ready to give such advice as will supplant Esau, that Jacob may carry away the Blessing. Oh! what is like to the Magical Stone, for the bringing in of a superabundant encrease from the right golden Grain, by which all excellent and perfect things did at first spring. At the return of which a new and marvelous Change every where will appear in the highest Unity and Community, in all those Coelestial Immunities which the Most-High is invested withal. Thus having brought forth, in some part, what hath been showered down from the Heavenly Powers, at several Seasons upon me, with a command to publish it, I have nothing more but to Pray, we may obey all these precious Rules.
