What is the Lost Word?
It ought to stand as “lost words” and lost secrets, in general, for that which is termed the lost “Word” is no word at all,
as in the case of the Ineffable Name (q.v.) The Royal Arch Degree in Masonry, has been “in search of it” since it was founded.
But the “dead”—especially those murdered—do not speak; and were even “the Widow’s Son” to come back to life “materialized”, he
could hardly reveal that which never existed in the form in which it is now taught. The SHEMHAMPHORASH (the separated name, through
the power of which according to his detractors, Jeshu Ben Pandira is said to have wrought his miracles, after stealing it from the Temple)
—whether derived from the “self existent substance” of Tetragrammaton, or not, can never be a substitute, for the lost LOGOS of divine magic.
[Centuries after our era, the initiates of interior temples and mathams (monastic communities),
elected a superior council chaired by an almighty Brahmâtmâ, supreme head of all these mahâtmâs, sole guardian of the mystical formula and
the only one who could explain the significance of the sacred word AUM and that of all religious rites and symbols.
But there was and still exists today a Word that far exceeds the mysterious monosyllable and makes Brahma almost equal to the one who is in possession of his key.
The Brahmâtmâs are the only ones who possess this key, and we know that in South India there are currently two major
Initiates who own it, and can only transmit it at the time of death, because it is the "Lost Word."
No torment, no human power could force any brahmin to know it, to reveal a secret so
Well kept is in Tibet. (Doctr. Secr., III, 411-412). The seer Swedenborg said quite rightly:
"Search for the lost Word among the Hierophants of Tartary, China and Tibet".] (G.T. H.P.B.)
