{{Style P-No indent|One chapter is missing, however, in the Noachian records (from both the Paris and the Bodleian MSS.), namely, Chapter 1viii, in Sect X; this could not be remodelled, and therefore it had to disappear, disfigured fragments alone having been left out of it. The dream about the cows, the black, red and white heifers, relates to the first Races, their division and disappearance. Chapter 1xxxviii, in which one of the four Angels “went to the white cows and taught them a mystery,” after which, the mystery being born “became a man,” refers to (''a'') the first group evolved of primitive Aryans, (''b'') to the “mystery of the Hermaphrodite” so called, having reference to the birth of the first human Races as they are now. The well-known rite in India, one that has survived in that patriarchal country to this day, known as the passage, or rebirth through the cow – a ceremony to which those of lower castes who are desirous of becoming Brahmans have to submit – has originated in this mystery. Let any Eastern Occultist read with careful attention the above-named chapter in the ''Book of Enoch, ''and he will find that the “Lord of the Sheep,” in whom Christians and European Mystics see Christ, is the Hierophant Victim whose name in Sanskrit we dare not give. Again, that while the Western Churchmen see Egyptians and Israelites in the “sheep and wolves,” all these animals relate in truth to the trials of the Neophyte and the mysteries of initiation, whether in India or Egypt, and to that most terrible penalty incurred by the “wolves” – those who reveal indiscriminately that which is only for the knowledge of the Elect and the “Perfect.”}} | {{Style P-No indent|One chapter is missing, however, in the Noachian records (from both the Paris and the Bodleian MSS.), namely, Chapter 1viii, in Sect X; this could not be remodelled, and therefore it had to disappear, disfigured fragments alone having been left out of it.
