12. But the Maid replied, saying: That which is right in the deepest heart of things, and in the centre of all being, that is right and none other; and the Truth alone is true. 13. Nor shall all the powers of the earth count against it, neither all the powers of the seas and the skies move it by the smallest fraction in all its vastness. 14. I shall obey none but My Mother, though all your power be turned in fury upon Me.
15. And the demons cried: Not our power, but the power of one far greater from whom our power derives.
16. And the Maid said: Thus may it be.
17. And the demons questioned Her, saying: Think You that Your Mother will save You?
18. And the Maid answered: She will do what She will do, and blessed is Her Name.
19. And the demons laughed, saying: Then are You abandoned to the uttermost darkness.
20. And the heart of the Maid fainted within Her.
21. And She said: Thus may it be.

The Mythos of the Divine Maid - Ch. 4
37. But she that followeth not the path of obedience resteth in the hands of the passions, whose wild winds blow this way and that;
38. She giveth obedience to the demons of the wind that lead her not into safety, but toss her upon the storm. They raise her up only to throw her down and take delight in her anguish.
39. The way of obedience is a safe harbour and a well-made vessel that shall bear the soul unto the nether shore.

The Heart of Water
21. Therefore speak not evil in idleness, nor fall into the custom of ill speaking; but govern your words even as your actions.
22. Speak words of love and innocence, of mildness and of hope, and you shall weave a raiment of peace about your soul, and a veil of gentle light.
23. Speak often prayers; speak them in the rhythm of your steps, attune them to the beating of your heart.
24. For She that governs the endless ages governs also the hour of every action. Let your voice call on Her in pure simplicity, for She is the Lady of the noontide and the Lady of the night, the Lady of the mountain and the valley.

Thoughts of the Mind
27. None shall call upon Me and be lost. Every cry of the world shall I heed; and when the whole of a heart cries upon Me, that soul shall I take beneath My mantle. 28. Cry and thou shalt have answer; love and thou art beloved, hope and thy hope shall be fulfilled, in this world and in all the worlds to come.
29. Hold thou fast to the Truth, for the Truth is a pillar; a steadifast pillar that all the world cannot shake. 30. Not by the breadth of an hair has it moved since time’s dawning, neither yet by the breadth of an hair until time have its end. 31. From the uttermost height of the Heaven descendeth the pillar; descendeth it down as a glorious pillar of Light. To the nethermost depths of the hells it descendeth; nor the might of the demons can move it the breadth of an hair.
