Scene four, Portal of Initiation To human dreamers words of hope like these

Sound proud indeed; but in the depths of earth

The vain illusions of mistaken thought

Awake such thunderous echoes evermore. Scene eleven, Portal of Initiation Theodora:

From out thine heart a glow of light spreads forth;

A human image is now born therefrom;

And I can hear the words, which do proceed

From this same human form. E'en thus they sound:

‘I have achieved the power to reach the light.’

My friend, trust thou thyself! These very words,

When thy time is fulfilled, thyself shalt speak. Scene two, Portal of Initiation As thou didst tread with me the path of life,

Is part and parcel of the thorny way,

That leads unto the light of Truth itself.

Thou must live through each horror and alarm

That can spring forth from vain imagining

Before the Truth in essence stands revealed.
