Passages to Ponder

Melchizedek 6:8-20

8. ¶ And the second key is the separation of the firmament; and this separation made by raising up filter to purify the terrestrial into the celestial through the firmament;

9. And the celestial rains upon the earth, to feed the waters terrestrial and purify the earth and all life thereupon.

10. And the rainwater is given to temper the fire of judgment, that mankind might find supplication before YHVH Alohykm.

11. None may reveal this secret of the firmament but they who are given of God to understand it, and even then, only by prayer to Alohykm shall make clear the truth;

12. For the knowledge of this great mystery is an endowment from the heavens, and this second key may only be used by those that have found the light of the first:

13. And neither force, nor reasoning, nor any of the ways of mankind shall give them access;

14. Therefore, let them read the writings of our fathers and let them meditate upon the things of YHVH Alohykm;

15. And most importantly, let them pray; for the mystery of the endowment may be made clear by the works in prayer and fasting in meditation upon El Elyon.

16. And without supplication the firmament cannot be created, and the waters cannot be divided from the waters;

17. And this conversion is the only way whereby our souls brood in the mother’s womb;

18. Therefore, know the light of the first key, which dissolves the darkness with peace, is purified by the second key, in the water in the great sea of the creation.

19. And this water shall become the very wine of the vine which we do here drink as the water of life, but is to the darkness the bitterest of vinegar to the tongue:

20. Taste therefore the sweetness of the wine upon thy tongues, and by its digestion ye shall be purified, for the work of the second key is never ending.

Questions of Knowledge (What it says at the surface)

• What all does it say must be done before we can even understand the second key?
• What does it say are the fruits of the second key (what “doors” does it “open”)?
• In what ways does it say the first key leads to the second?

Questions of Wisdom (What it means below the surface)

• In what ways do celestial rains feed the waters terrestrial, and purify the earth and life (speaking non-allegorically)?
• How might rainwater temper the fire of judgement (more allegorically)?

Questions of Understanding (Likening it to Ourselves)

• Which of the things are you doing that help prepare you to receive this key?
• Which things still ought to be done?

Questions of Mystery (What deeper meaning can be harvested)

• Ask to understand the second key.
