Before Our Globe Had Become Egg-shaped Or Round It Was A Long Trail Of Cosmic Dust Or Fire-mist, Moving And Writhing Like A Serpent.

There Exists In The World Today, And Has Existed For Thousands Of Years, A Body Of Enlightened Humans United In What Might Be Termed, An Order Of The Quest.

This King Was Descended Of A Divine Race; That Is, He Belonged To The Order Of The Illumined; For Those Who Come To A State Of Wisdom Then Belong To A Family Of Heroes-perfected Human Beings.
