H E RMETIC WIS DOM AND M Y S T I CAL P RAYER
world calls good and holy-but those whom the world calls evil are a part of His body and move with His Will-the outer and uninitiated unconsciously-the Adept consciously and will ingly. The Pharisees and Scribes despised Mary Magdalene-the woman who was a sinner, yet was she at that very time develop ing towards the highest Adeptship to which she afterwards attained, and why ? 'Because she loved much.' She yielded her self willingly through her love to be a vessel-whether to honour or dishonour, in Her Master's hands. Few can attain to this height but one lesson ye can learn of infinite importance in this Fire Tatwa. Any person so ye see, may for aught you know be on the path of Adeptship, and in love yielding himself to the Master's Will, though seeming evil to you-as Mary Magdalene seemed to the Pharisees-therefore condemn not and ye shall not be condemned.
