Only in the end shalt thou give up thy sap when the great God F.I.A.T. is enthroned on the day of Be-with-Us.

Liber Capricorni Pneumatici, verso 6.

Em seu “The Secret Doctrine”, Helena Blavatsky apresenta alguns “stanzas” de um suposto texto denominado “Book of Dzyan”.

No quinto “stanza”, parágrafo 6, lê-se:

THE LIPIKA CIRCUMSCRIBE THE TRIANGLE, THE FIRST ONE, THE CUBE, THE SECOND ONE, AND THE PENTACLE WITHIN THE EGG. IT IS THE RING CALLED “PASS NOT” FOR THOSE WHO DESCEND AND ASCEND. ALSO FOR THOSE WHO DURING THE KALPA ARE PROGRESSING TOWARDS THE GREAT DAY “BE WITH US.” THUS WERE FORMED THE RUPA AND THE ARUPA: FROM ONE LIGHT SEVEN LIGHTS; FROM EACH OF THE SEVEN, SEVEN TIMES SEVEN LIGHTS. THE WHEELS WATCH THE RING….

Helena Blavatsky, “The Secret Doctrine”, stanza V, parágrafo 6.

No sexto “stanza”, parágrafo 2, lê-se:

THE SWIFT AND RADIANT ONE PROUCES THE SEVEN LAYA CENTRES, AGAINST WHICH NONE WILL PREVAIL TO THE GREAT DAY “BE-WITH-US,” AND SEATS THE UNIVERSE ON THESE ETERNAL FOUNDATIONS SURROUNDING TSIEN-TCHAN WITH THE ELEMENTARY GERMS.

ibid., stanza VI, parágrafo 2.

No sétimo “stanza”, parágrafo 7, lê-se:

THIS IS THY PRESENT WHEEL, SAID THE FLAME TO THE SPARK. THOU ART MYSELF, MY IMAGE, AND MY SHADOW. I HAVE CLOTHED MYSELF IN THEE, AND THOU ART MY VAHAN TO THE DAY, “BE WITH US,” WHEN THOU SHALT RE-BECOME MYSELF AND OTHERS, THYSELF AND ME. THEN THE BUILDERS, HAVING DONNED THEIR FIRST CLOTHING, DESCEND ON RADIANT EARTH AND REIGN OVER MEN — WHO ARE THEMSELVES….

ibid., stanza VII, parágrafo 7.

Mais adiante no texto, a autora comenta estes “stanzas.” Notavelmente, entre os comentários do “stanza” V, lê-se:

The “Great Day of BE-WITH-US,” then, is an expression the only merit of which lies in its literal translation. Its significance is not so easily revealed to a public, unacquainted with the mystic tenets of Occultism, or rather of Esoteric Wisdom or “Buddhism.” It is an expression peculiar to the latter, and as hazy for the profane as that of the Egyptians who called the same the “Day of COME-TO-US,”* which is identical with the former, though the verb “be” in this sense, might be still better replaced with either of the two words “Remain” or “Rest-with-us,” as it refers to that long period of REST which is called Paranirvana.

ibid., p. 130.

Neste fragmento, o asterisco indica uma nota de rodapé, onde se lê:

See “Le Livre des Morts,” by Paul Pierret; “Le Jour de ‘Viens a nous’ … c’est le jour ou Osiris a dit au Soleil: Viens! Je le vois rencontrant le Soleil dans l’Amenti.” (Chap. xvii, p. 61) The Sun here stands for the Logos (or Christos, or Horus) as central Essence synthetically, ans as a diffused esssence of radiated Entities, different in substance, but not in essence. As expressed by the Bhagavadgita lecturer, “it must no be supposed that the Logos is but a single centre of energy manifested from Parabrahmam; there are innumerable other centres … and their number is almost infinite in the bosom of Parabrahamam.” Hence the expressions, “The Day of Come to us” and “The Day of Be with us,” etc.

ibid., p. 130, rodapé.

Paul Pierret (1836-1916) foi um arqueólogo francês especializado em egiptologia, curador do departamento de antiguidades egípcias do museu do Louvre, autor de uma tradução para o francês do “Livre des Morts”, com primeira edição em 1882 e segunda edição em 1907.

Como o “The Secret Doctrine” foi publicado em 1888, sabemos que Blavatsky citou Pierret na primeira edição. A referência na nota de rodapé refere-se ao capítulo 17:

Titre : Chapitre de la résurrection des mânes, de sortir, le jour, de la divine région inférieure, d’être des suivants d’Osiris, de se nourrir des pains de l’Etre bon, de sortir le jour, de faire toutes les transformations où l’on se plaît d’être, de jouer aux dames, d’être dans la salle divine, Que l’âme vivante de l’Osiris N soit, parmi les dévots, auprès de la grande société des dieux, dans l’Amenti, après l’ensevelissement. Etant glorieux ce qu’ils’ ont fait sur terre, les paroles des hommes s’accomplissent.

Tableau : Le défunt debout en marche, puis assis devant un autel.

Paul Pierret, “Le livre des morts”, primeira edição, Ernest Leroux, Paris, 1882.

Na página 61, encontramos o fragmento citado por Blavatsky referente a seção 42.

(…) celui qui a le visage en feu et vient à reculons, celui qui voit dans la nuite et qui amène au jour; ce sont les chefs d’Anroutef qui emprunte sa grandeur à son père Ra. Le jour de Viens à nous! C’est le jour où Osiris a dit au Soleil: Viens! Je le vois rencontrant le Soleil dans l’Amenti. Je suis l’âme entre ses deux jumelles. Qu’est cela? Osiris entre dans Tattou; il y trouve l’âme de Ra: l’âme de l’un embrasse l’âme de l’autre et il en résulte l’âme entre ses deux jumelles. C’est Horus, vengeur de son prère, (…)

ibid., cap. 17, seções 41-43.

A expressão “viens à nous” aparece em outras seções na tradução de Pierret.

(…) accordez-moi que, quand je viendrai à vous, je n’aie gardé aucune de mes souillures comme vous l’avez fait pour les sept Lumineux qui suivent leus seigneur, le dieu faisant droit; Anubis leus a fait leur place le jour de Viens à nous! Qu’est cela? Le dieux seigneurs de la région de la double verité, c’est Thot avec Astés, (…)

ibid., capítulo 17, seções 33-34.

Desde então, o estudo e a decifração dos hieróglifos egípcios evoluíram significativamente. Considere, por exemplo, a tradução de Thomas George Allen para o seguinte fragmento do capítulo 17:

Hail to you, lords of truth, Council around Osiris, who inspire terror in sinners, Attendants of Hip.s-hw.s. Behold, I am come unto you that ye may do away with all the evil that adheres to me, just as ye did for these 7 blessed ones who were in the Retinue of the lord (of nomes), whose seats Anubis prepared on that day called Come Thou Thence.

Thomas George Allen (trad.), “The Book of the Dead”, capítulo 17, seção 13, p. 29, in “Studies in Ancient Oriental Civilization”, Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago, n. 37

Compare:

And behold! if by stealth thou keep unto thyself one thought of thine, then shalt thou be cast out into the abyss for ever; and thou shalt be the lonely one, the eater of dung, the afflicted in the Day of Be-with-Us.

Liber Vallum Abiegni, verso 12
