Love the Divinity within your Brethren
To thine own self be true.
Be
disciplined in mind, body and spirit.
Keep your thoughts concentrated on the grace of the Divine. Keep your body strong and resilient and your
spirit enlivened and radiant.
May your
lips forever be honest and true. Vow
sparingly but when you do, adhere to it as iron.
Find the
Earth in every moment. Love and protect
it until we are no longer bound to it and may fly into the expanse of Aquarian
light.
Give
respect to the respectful and contempt for the contemptible.
Embrace
mortal humility and avoid counterproductive pride. The ego is a heavy weight that the Eagle is
not willing to carry into the Heavens.
Never
demean a brother of the Fraternity or any other who bears potential acceptance
into the Fraternity. Instead, be you an
example of Aquarian light and stature, inviting all into the loving embrace of
HIM.
Seek out
and encourage the individual beauty of all things.
Dignity,
composure, graciousness and humor are admirable qualities.
Power
grows in direct proportion to wisdom.
Mountains
may crumble and stars may fall, but courage, honor and valiance remain
forever. Persevere in the path of
adversityh and have faith in yourself, the power bestowed upon you and in your
Aquarian brothers.
Pledge
kinship with those who are worthy and refrain from wasting energy on
fools. Strengthen those of the
Fraternity and the Fraternity will strengthen you. Exude fidelity to your kith, your lovers, the
Fraternity and to the Lord.
Obey the
laws of the land so long as you find them to be within reason.
Embrace
doubt, questin everything and accept nothing unless it be to your satisfaction.
Be
industrious and create for yourself and those your love. Be self-sufficient and honor yourself as a
provider.
Show
hospitality and kindness to those who enter your home and be generous to
guests.
Carry zeal
in your heart like and ancient treasure.
Be proud of you and your Fraternal bond.
Keep
silent about your practice and cherish mystery of your faith except from those
who may peace within fraternal bond.
This path shall
be your vessel, your ship that carries your soul into the depths of the wine
chalice of Ganymede, through the lights of the Cupbearer. Treasure this spiritual voyage for without
the ship, one may find oneself lost at seas.
