Chapter 91

And Jesus answered and said unto John: “Finely indeed do ye question on all with precision and certainty. But now, therefore, John, hearken that I may discourse with thee. Every one who hath received mysteries of the Light will abide in the region up to which every one hath received mysteries, and he hath not the power to go into the height into the orders which are above him.”


The Verb, the Word, speaks with precision and certainty.

Of the first Commandment

“So that he who hath received mysteries in the first Commandment hath the power to go into the orders which are below him, that is into all the orders of the third space; but he hath not the power to go into the height to the orders which are above him.”

Of the first space

“And he who shall receive the mysteries of the First Mystery, which is the four-and-twentieth mystery from without and the head of the first space which is without, — he hath the power to go into all the orders which are without him; but he hath not the power to go into the regions which are above him or to pass through them.”


It is obvious that the one who has received mysteries in the First Commandment has power to go to the orders which are below him, which means, to all of the orders of the third Space. However, he can never go to the orders which are above him.

The mysteries of the First Mystery are terribly divine. It is clear that the work of the Great Work is contained in the Four-and-twentieth Mystery. All the mysteries of the First Mystery are found in the Four-and-twentieth Mystery. The one who performs the Great Work has the right to enter all of the orders above and below.

It is easy to understand that the entire beginning and the end of the Great Work is in the Four-and-twentieth Mystery.

Of the second space

“And of those who have received the mysteries in the order of the four-and-twenty mysteries, every one will go into the region in which he hath received mysteries, and he will have the power to pass through all the orders and spaces which are without him; but he hath not the power to go into the higher orders which are above him or to pass through them.”


It is clear that those who have received mysteries in the orders of the Four-and-twentieth Mysteries have the right to live in the regions where they received the mysteries. However, they cannot pass through orders or spaces that are above them. The orders of the First Mystery always correspond to the Ancient of Days.

Of the third space

“And he who hath received mysteries in the orders of the First Mystery which is in the third space, hath the power to go into all the lower orders which are below him and to pass through all; but on the other hand he hath not the power to go into the regions which are above him or to pass through them.”

Of the Thrice-spiritual

“And he who hath received mysteries of the first Thrice-spiritual, which ruleth over the four-and-twenty mysteries all together which rule over the space of the First Mystery, of whose region at the expansion of the universe I will tell you — he, therefore, who shall receive the mystery of that Thrice-spiritual, hath the power to go down into all orders which are below him; but he hath not the power to go into the height into the orders which are above him, that is into all the orders of the space of the Ineffable.

“And he who hath received the mystery of the second Thrice-spiritual, hath the power to go into all the orders of the first Thrice-spiritual and to pass through them all and all their orders which are in them: but he hath not the power to go into the higher orders of the third Thrice-spiritual.

“And he who hath received the mystery of the third Thrice-spiritual, which ruleth over the three Thrice-spirituals and the three spaces of the First Mystery all together, [hath the power to go into all the orders which are below him]; but he hath not the power to go into the height into the orders which are above him, that is into the orders of the space of the Ineffable.”

Of the master-mystery

And he who hath received the master-mystery of the First Mystery of the Ineffable, that is the twelve mysteries of the First Mystery all together, which rule over all the spaces of the First Mystery, — he, therefore, who shall receive that mystery, hath the power to pass through all the orders of the spaces of the three Thrice-spirituals and the three spaces of the First Mystery and all their orders, and hath the power to pass through all the orders of the inheritances of the Light, to pass through them from without within and from within without and from above below and from below above and from the height to the depth and from the depth to the height and from the length to the breadth and from the breadth to the length; in a word, he hath the power to pass through all the regions of the inheritances of the Light, and he hath the power to bide in the region where he pleaseth, in the Inheritance of the Light-kingdom.

“And amen, I say unto you: That man will at the dissolution of the world be king over all the orders of the Inheritance of the Light. And he who shall receive that mystery of the Ineffable which I am,—”
