Oh ye who stand within this Temple of the Mysteries listen unto me. Place your heart within my heart and your hand within my hand and together we will set forth upon a journey to the realms of the spirit that dwell within each man and woman that liveth upon the earth.

Relax your body and seek deep within yourselves for that seed of silence wherein lives the essential essence of the soul.

Stop up your earthly ears and listen only to the words that guide your inner and higher consciousness.

Leave behind the scents of earth and prepare your nostrils for the perfumes of Eden; fold your hands within your vestments and let my words touch and caress your souls.

I will pour you wine from grapes never seen upon the earth and feed you with bread that was never yet garnered from this planet's fields. Suspend your senses and live wtihin their higher and finer selves, and so we will leave behind all that we know and hold dear.

From each heart there emerges a golden thread. It flows out to the Temple Chalice and pours itself into it. Thus we are linked and may begin our journey.
