"Brothers and sisters of the first and the last hour. Today as we are gathered here in this holy place, the great terrestrial cycle is closing on itself. Omega is emerging through a new creation. The time of the great gathering is proclaiming the departure of the sons of heaven. In the name of the will of those whose will controls mine, I am handing the seed of our immortality and our transcendent nature to the worlds without end. At this highest moment, the power of the world should free itself and join with us the levels of the future, so engendered by ourselves in the likeness of the phoenix, we might be reborn from our ashes. For as the phoenix is raised towards a level above what is finite, what is finite should leave density and go up towards its origin. Our terrestrial journey is coming to its end. The world is coming to completion."
