INITIATES THE CROWD
OF EARTHLY BEINGS THE NEW BEING
The Two-in-One play all the roles in the eternal round of a manifestation which enriches itself ceaselessly – the Golden Cycle. It is He: the child, the traveller, the lover, the disciple, the triumphant, the holocaust – the One, the Beloved. It is She: the mother, the tree, the comrade, the bride, the master, the adversary – the One, the Beloved. The New Being incarnates, in a new cycle, their manifestation in a
single body.

Act
I: The Descent
SCENE I: THE TWO-IN-ONE The Dance of the
Golden Journey HE Diadem of dream! SHE Diadem of dream! HE Arabesque of dream! SHE Arabesque of dream! HE The Universes! SHE The Universes! HE Their myriads of stars! SHE Their myriads of stars! HE Here passes the SHE . . . the Way of the Spaces. . . HE We have lost our way, already Night has cast her golden gauntlet between us. SHE Her gauntlet of suns. HE Her gauntlet challenging our Light. The Dance of the Primordial Sun HE The Night slowly distinguishes us. SHE Two colours mingled at their source. HE The Night slowly separates us one from the other. SHE Even as the two hands of one body. HE What is this force, Oh, sweet strange force that separates us! SHE So then at last we are two.
Page – 291 HE So then at last we are two. The Dance of Contemplation The Dance of the Double Star HE The Night takes us away from each other. SHE Drift of nebulae. Drift of stars, of continents. HE Drift of atoms. The Dance of the Joyful Separation SCENE
2: THE JOYFUL SEPARATION HE My beauty Mirror! My All-Beauty! My Queen! We shall plunge into the eternal Night. It is our choice, our happiness. Like two glad children we shall go to play in the eternal garden of the Earth. See, how beautiful she is! We are already there. We have been always there. It is we who play all the roles. But for that we must separate. Take this flower, the token of my eternal Presence. The Dance of the Eternal Presence Look, how beautiful is the earth! SCENE 3: THE INTERMEDIARY WORLDS First Tableau: The World of the Gods
Page – 292 HE My Splendour, I follow you. What a robe of light dances behind you! On it my barque reposes, tranquil or wild, immobile or whirling. Do you not turn back? SHE 'Tis you who lead me! HE Would you stop the march of the stars, hold up the cascade in its fall, turn to stone the flight of millions of wings! SHE I would turn back to our beautiful abode beyond the worlds. HE All these young gods on the way towards the earth. They will play there our beautiful plays! We have chosen the golden Night! Come! Second Tableau: The Jewels SHE These flowers and the robe, the crown, the golden girdle of our embodiments, the dancing smile of our soul await us here. Their gentle caress envelops us. Dance of the Jewels Here all are children. New eyes, a new heart to look at the world. All we have seen so often we must forget. Then, everything comes to us to be discovered.
Page – 293 Every crystal opens a world of marvels. The grass, the river sings of happiness; and every drop of water holds the Beloved. Instead of being Two we are myriads to love each other. HE Myriads. . . SHE . . . and myriads, myriads, myriads, myriads, myriads. SCENE 4: THE INCARNATION MAID Courage, Madam. He will be beautiful like his late father. THE MOTHER I have all the courage of a queen, and of a mother and of a spouse and of a faithful servant. I have the courage of a lioness, of a prophetess. Dance at the Cradle THE MOTHER I have seen him this night, big and strong, my child, our king. He is all who are of his line. He is the whole dynasty. He is the earth also, and I cannot say why. He is the new beginning of everything. He is Renewal itself.
Page – 294 What is it? Was I speaking? MAID Be quiet, Madam, You are restless! THE MOTHER Now is the moment. MAID Come! Women! Here and welcome our King!
