Scene 8: About 2000 B.C. The hierophant (Capesius) has refused to

use his thought power to suggest to the candidate what his vision should be. The candidate has a free vision looking far into the future. A breath of love and freedom is wafted into the closely sealed precincts. 'The truth shall make thee free.' But with this rebellion against the old order, there is a consequence. Lucifer and Ahriman hitherto chained within the temple break their chains and begin to work their will. The ancient temple has been invaded, but the Ego begins to wake. The reader will not overlook, in all this cosmic development, the individual development of the different characters which are difficult to understand from the other plays without this glimpse into their previous incarnation. The author has presented it in this order, because it corresponds to the reader's own experience.
