1st MASTER OF CEREMONIES: In the name of those spiritual beings To whom our brotherhood is dedicated, We requested your presence, Johannes. It was foretold in the signs of the world That in these times something important Should take place that would give our paths A new turn should take. When we heard of your spiritual achievement, We had to recognize that not only The general approval of the outside world Should be given to it, which has indeed happened so abundantly. It became clear to us that in our consecrated work It must be worthily incorporated. Through you, the great feat of the spirit sprouted meaningfully from general science; It must henceforth be counted among those On whom the temple of consecration imprints its seal, To show how the spirit that flows from above Unites with that which comes from below.
