What he says is a description written with a higher enthusiasm for what Origines taught him. What they have written can be taken as the words of one of those Christian writers of the third century, such as Clement of Alexandria, who says: “I know well that the writing of my memoirs is weak compared to the grace that I was honored to hear; but it will be a memory for him whom the Thyrsus met.” Every occultist knows how to interpret the term “Thyrsus”. Every occultist knows the instrument; every occultist knows that the truth was handed down orally from person to person, and that the deepest things were not recorded in the scriptures. This may become completely clear to you when I say that the ultimate truths were not written down in what they wrote; so of course they cannot be found in them.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XLV.
