As
with every Esoteric order there must be some arcane knowledge handed down from
generation to generation. These pages are in honour of my Daughter who will be
the sole heir and custodian of this Ka'el`isti Manifesto when I ascend. When 'Nothing is True' we must make it up or forever fall from grace and become a Grey Face. Behind the veil of all the hieratic and mystical allegories of ancient doctrines, behind the darkness and strange ordeals of all initiations, under the seal of all sacred writings, in the ruins of Nineveh or Thebes, on the crumbling stones of old temples and on the blackened visage of the Assyrian or Egyptian sphinx, in the monstrous or marvellous paintings which interpret to the faithful of India the inspired pages of the Vedas, in the cryptic emblems of our old books on alchemy, in the ceremonies practised at reception by all secret societies, there are found indications of a doctrine which is everywhere the same and everywhere carefully concealed.
From Trancendental Magic by Eliphas Levi
