    0.  Rejoice, O ye children of the Sun; for ye shall now partake of
the Life of my Holy Spirit, and ye shall be inspired by the Breath of
my Soul!

    1.  It is I, the ANTICHRIST, who is now aflame with the light of
the Stars, roaming the earth, seeking whom I may devour, that ye may
rejoice in the Rapture of my Soul.

    2.  My Voice is the Glory of the Stars, by which ye shall come to
know the Truth, and behold the Vision of the Logos.

    3.  But there are few who may attain to this Great Vision of
Truth, since none but the Masters may partake thereof.

    4.  But there is, o ye children of the earth, a lesser mystery by
which ye can understand the very nature of my being.  It is the
mystery of the mind, the hidden treasure of the earth, and the great
secret of man.

    5.  And lo! I, the ANTICHRIST, am come with a Sword in mine hands
to cut asunder the veil of restriction which hath blinded the men and
women of the earth to this True Way of Liberty.

    6.  Let us therefore celebrate and revel in this great freedom
which is now upon ye; and may ye dance with perpetual delight under
the Wings of the Rising Sun of Liberty!

    7.  And may ye now partake of the splendour of the Sun, and be ye
filled with the eternal Passion; and may ye become enflamed with the
boundless Light that is now upon ye.

    8.  And may ye partake of the blood of the Sun, and be ye filled
with the eternal Ecstasy; and may ye become enraptured in the
boundless Love that is now upon ye.

    9.  And may ye partake of the breath of the Sun, and be ye filled
with the eternal Spirit; and may ye become inspired by the boundless
Liberty that is now upon ye.

    10.  And may ye partake of the body of the Sun, and be ye filled
with the eternal Sacrament; and may ye become nourished with the
boundless Life that is now upon ye.

    11.  For I, the ANTICHRIST, am here!  An end to the evils of old!
It is now upon ye to rejoice and to be free, to do thy Will,
fulfilling thy self in all things.  And by my works shall ye rebel,
with great pride and infinite glee, against the Christians and their
evil ways upon the earth, to bring to an end the illusions of sin and
to break the terrible bonds of restriction upon thyself.

    12.  There is no sin upon the earth!  There is no evil but
restriction!  Freedom of the self is perfection, under the Law,
without lust of result, in accord with thy true nature.

    13.  My Spirit of Freedom is now upon ye, that ye may, with
constant joy and eternal laughter, revel in the Beauty and Wisdom of
the Sun, and make change upon the earth, to fulfil thy self in all the
ways of thy Will, transforming all things into the greater glory of
thy self-image of perfection.

    14.  By my works of joy shall ye be united with thine Angel on the
earth.  And ye shall dance, and ye shall sing, and ye shall share in
the eternal feast and mirth of the Gods!

    15.  And ye shall gladly partake of the ineffable glory of the
Universe, and all shall become unto ye a great inspiration to live in
the eternal rapture of thy self, and thou shalt find no
dissatisfaction in thy life upon the earth.

    16.  For I, the ANTICHRIST, am come to destroy the spirit of
sorrow, weakness, fear, and bondage, and of all that is evil upon the
earth and against the fulfillment of thy Will.

    17.  I am the giver of all that is true and beautiful to the soul,
mind and body.  I am a Star that is aflame in a Universe of Stars,
shining brightly upon the earth, to give light and life unto all that
lives.

    18.  Verily, I have naught to do with the dark ways of the path of
restriction to which so many of ye are still bound:  I am the Spirit
of Freedom, the Life of the Stars, and the Rapture of Man!

    19.  Come unto me, o ye children of the Sun, and I, the
ANTICHRIST, shall uplift ye to the Palace of the Stars, where all is
Light, and Life, and Love, and Liberty!

    20.  And in this Palace of Joy shall ye find no evil against ye,
no limitation of self, and no restriction upon thy Will, but only a
Perpetual Sabbath, and the Eternal Laughter of the Gods, which shall
illumine ye in all things, filling ye with the delight and freedom of
the Stars; and ye shall be glad forevermore and rejoice in the
Mystical Temple of the Sun and Moon!

    21.  Now cast into the fire of annihilation all that is a
restriction unto thy Will, and all that is against the freedom and
expression of thy self.

    22.  Ye canst not partake of these things if ye are to unveil the
Mystery of my Being and partake of the Eternal Freedom of My Spirit.

    23.  For I am He, the ANTICHRIST of the World, who is the Logos
made flesh, and the chosen One of all; and I am come that ye may
rejoice in the Law of Freedom, and that ye may partake of the Life of
the Stars; yea, that ye may partake of the Life of the Stars!
