Chapter 5 -The second instruction  
     
1.
 When, then, thou see'st the Upper Cosmos clean and clear, with no one of the Gods (or Angels) bearing down on thee, expect to hear a mighty thunder-clap so as to startle thee.
  
2.
 Then say again:  
3.
 O Silence! Silence!
  
4.
 I am a Star, whose Course is as your Course, shining anew from out the depth 20.0pt'>†.
 
5.
 Upon thy saying this, straightway His disk will start expanding.
  
6.
 And after thou hast said the second utterance
 
7.
 - to wit, twice Silence and the rest - "hiss" twice, and "puff" twice;  
8.
 and straightway shalt thou see a mighty host of stars, five-pointed, emerging from His Disk, and filling all the Air.  
9.
 Then say again:  
10.
 O Silence! Silence!  
11.
 And when His Disk is opened [fully] out, thou shalt behold an infinite Encircling and Doors of Fire fast closed.
  
12.
 Straightway set going then the utterance that follows, closing thy eyes:
  
13.
 Hear me, give ear to me - N. N., son of N. N. (fem.)
  
14.
 - O Lord, who with Thy Breath hast closed the Fiery Bars of Heaven;  
15.
 Twin-bodied; Ruler of the Fire; Creator of the Light;  
16.
 O Holder of the Keys;  
17.
 Inbreather of the Fire;  
18.
 Fire-hearted One, whose Breath gives Light;  
19.
 Thou who dost joy in Fire; Beauteous of Light;  
20.
 O Lord of Light, whose Body is of Fire;  
21.
 Light-giver [and] Fire-sower;  
22.
 Fire-loosener, whose Life is in the Light;  
23.
 Fire-whirler, who sett'st the Light in motion;  
24.
 Thou Thunder-rouser;  
25.
 O Thou Light-glory, Light-increaser;  
26.
 Controller of the Light Empyrean; O Thou Star-tamer!  
27.
 Oh! Open unto me! For on account of this, the bitter and implacable Necessity that presses on me, I do invoke Thy Deathless Names, innate with Life, most worshipful, that have not yet descended unto mortal nature, nor have been made articulate by human tongue, or cry or tone of man:
  
28.
 ëeö • oëeö • iöö • oë • ëeö • ëeö • oëeö • iöö • oëëe • öëe • öoë • ië • ëö • oö • oë • ieö • oë • öoë • ieöoë • ieeö • eë • iö • oë • ioë • öëö • eoë • oeö • öië • öiëeö • oi • iii • ëoë • öuë • ëö • oëe • eöëia • aëaeëa • ëeeë • eeë • eeë • ieö • ëeö • oëeeoë • ëeö • euö • oë • eiö • ëö • öë • öë • öë • ee • ooouiöë!
  
29.
 Utter all these with Fire and Spirit once unto the end; and then begin again a second time, until thou hast completed [all] the Seven Immortal Gods of Cosmos.
 
30.
 When thou hast uttered them, thunders and crashings shalt thou hear in the Surround, and feel thyself a-shake with every crash. Then once more utter Silence! [and] the utterance [following it].
  
31.
 Thereon open thy eyes ; and thou shalt see the Doors thrown open, and the Cosmos of the Gods that is within the Doors;
 
32.
 so that for joy and rapture of the sight thy Spirit runs to meet it, and soars up.
