Is this the Region, this the Soil, the Clime,
Said then the lost Arch-Angel, this the seat
That we must change for Heav’n, this mournful gloom
For that celestial light? Be it so, since he
Who now is Sovran can dispose and bid
What shall be right: fardest from him is best
Whom reason hath equald, force hath made supream
Above his equals. Farewel happy Fields
Where Joy for ever dwells: Hail horrours, hail
Infernal world, and thou profoundest Hell
Receive thy new Possessor: One who brings
A mind not to be chang’d by Place or Time.
The mind is its own place, and in it self
Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n.
What matter where, if I be still the same,
And what I should be, all but less then he
Whom Thunder hath made greater? Here at least
We shall be free; th’ Almighty hath not built
Here for his envy, will not drive us hence:
Here we may reign secure, and in my choyce
To reign is worth ambition though in Hell:
Better to reign in Hell, then serve in Heav’n.
But wherefore let we then our faithful friends,
Th’ associates and copartners of our loss
Lye thus astonisht on th’ oblivious Pool,
And call them not to share with us their part
In this unhappy Mansion, or once more
With rallied Arms to try what may be yet
Regaind in Heav’n, or what more lost in Hell?

The self is a twin, really a Caduceal entity. The Sun is the un-scathed portion and the Moon is the damaged portion (the left Eye of Horus that must be reconstituted as Osiris, dismembered by Set must be re-assembled to "re-member" and re-become Horus sound in both eyes).

If the separation is too great in a love-neglecting soul the energy is more and more out of balance. Finally there comes a point of separation, after which the fire is cut off ('isf-t, the Ancient Egyptian term for evil) from the light soul and the individualization — no longer in harmonious symbiosis — faces extinction and dissolution.

The purpose of the Lion Path is to bring the fire strand near enough to the unmanifest light strand, so that they can become a truly functional and interactive unit again. That is what undoing the "fall", or separation from love, means.

If the fallen portion cuts itself off from the unfallen portion ('isf-t) the soul finally is split so far apart that it cannot reconstitute itself, even though to reach the power of Grace unaided.

But by therapeutic intervention the combined power of God/dess can reform and heal the fallen part. If this cannot be done, the soul loses its individualizing portion and the unfallen pattern awaits another but different chance for individualization.

The spirit father plants the life of knowledge in the world, completely the same as how a farmer sows seeds in his field. He sows over the whole field, not distinguishing where each one may land. And now, some seeds land on the road, and birds fly down and peck at them. And others fall onto the rocks. And they will scarcely grow on the rocks, but will wither because there is nowhere to take root. And still others fall into the brush and the brush chokes the grain, so the stalks rise up, but do not flourish. And others fall onto good earth, those spring up and compensate for the lost seeds and offer up their grain and flourish; some multiplied one hundred times, some sixty and some thirty.

And just so, God planted the spirit within people, in some it disappears, and in some it returns, multiplied one hundred times. These are the people that make up the kingdom of God.

So the kingdom of God is not like you think it is, that God will come to reign over you. God only planted the spirit, and the kingdom of God will only be within those who preserve that. God does not control people and, like a farmer, tosses seeds to the earth and does not think of them himself. The seeds swell on their own, sprout, grow into a plant, a stalk, a head of grain, and then produce a kernel. And only when it is ripe does the farmer send the reapers to mow the field. Just so, God gave the world his son, a spirit, and the spirit will grow in the world and the sons of the spirit will make up the kingdom of God.
