Jehovih Saith!

(1882) Excerpts from Oahspe

1

No man knoweth the Creator, unless he hath proven the communion of spirits. Neither can any man rise to the second resurrection, till he hath arisen to faith in the All One, Jehovih. (Judgement 2:26)

But in the time of the light of My revelations, thou shalt raise up a few, here and there, capable of the All Light. And these, thou shalt cause to form a basis for My kingdom on earth. And they shall forswear all Gods and Lords and Saviors, but profess Me, the Great Spirit, Jehovih. And they shall pledge themselves unto one another in fullness, as brothers and sisters, holding their possessions in common. To live for sake of perfecting themselves and others in spirit, and for good works. They shall not eat fish nor flesh of any creature that breathed the breath of life. And keep the seventh day as a day of communion with Me and My angel hosts. With rites and ceremonies explanatory of all the doctrines in the world. Practicing good for evil; non-resistance to persecution and abuse. And abjure war; even, if necessary, by submitting to death rather than take part therein. And they shall become an organic body in communities of tens and twenties and hundreds and thousands. But they shall have no leaders, only their Creator; but be organic, for sake of good works.

But they shall not go about preaching for sinners to go to repentance.

Nor preaching for charity to the poor. But they shall go themselves about gathering up sinners, and the poor and helpless and orphans; and bring them into comfortable homes, teaching them how to live, to 2

be a glory unto Me and My kingdoms. To such persons shall My angels from the second resurrection come, and minister in My name for the joy of the earth. And when such people die, they shall be received into the second resurrection, escaping the first. (Judgment 1:32-47)

And it came to pass that Tae was as one man, being attuned with the Father, and the light of the past and present came upon him. And the second heaven was let down to the earth, and the hosts of etherea ministered to Tae, and quickened him, that he might understand what it was to hear the voice of Jehovih, neither depending on the sacred books of the ancients, nor on the angels of heaven. For Jehovih had said: In that day shall each and every one be as a covenant with Me, speaking and conversing with Me. They shall be as seers and prophets themselves, making their own sacred books, rites and 3

ceremonies; and these shall stand above all else that have ever been. (Knowledge 4:26-27)

I have given thee many sacred books, and I said to thee: Save thou judgest them, thou shalt be caught in a snare; I charge thee, thou shalt accept nothing from men, nor angels, nor Gods. But thou shalt rely on thine own inspiration from thy Creator. Such is My word which I speak to thine own soul. What cometh to thee from a man is indirect inspiration; what cometh from an angel is indirect; and what cometh from the Gods is indirect. No direct inspiration of Me can come to thee from a book, nor a sermon, nor from anything in all My creations, but only from Me, thy Creator. Though one man receive direct inspiration from Me, and he write it in a book, yet, when it cometh to thee, it is indirect inspiration, and is not binding upon thee, only so far as My direct inspiration upon thee moveth thee to receive it.

(Inspiration 9:8-14)

The doctrine of the idolator is war; but My Sons and Daughters practice peace, resisting not any man with weapons of death, saith Jehovih.

My sermons are not in wordy professions, but in the souls

of My people who practice My commandments.

Ye have witnessed

that Sudga's followers said: Behold, Sudga is our Lamb of Peace!

And they were nations of warriors; they built monuments to glorify their greatest slayers of men.

My people say little; profess little, as 4

regardeth their virtues; but their practice is My Voice!

(Bon 12:5-8)

Jehovih saith: Swear unto thy Father in heaven every day of thy life; and if thou fail to keep thine oath, thou shalt renew it on the following day, with repentance. But in all swearing it shall be for perfecting one's self and for the glory of the Father. (Saphah Mi’Hak 45)

After the creation of man, the Creator, Jehovih, said unto him: That thou shalt know thou art the work of My hand, I have given thee capacity for knowledge, power and dominion. (Oahspe 1:1)

Jehovih saith: A strong man may do more good works than a weak one; and yet the latter may stand fairer in My sight. I open the way to the weak and the strong; to the learned and the unlearned.

(Sethantes 13:2) 5

Jehovih saith: What more, O man, have I put upon thee than to learn? And strewn thy path with lessons rich in happiness! To learn the elements, and master them; this it is to be a God or Goddess.

And wherein one man is weak, let two or more unite; a simple thing, by which even the stars of heaven can be turned from their course.

Jehovih saith: Have I not said: The weakest king is he who hath the most soldiers; and the strongest nation, where none are required.

How, then, may the false Gods, by evil deeds, fortify their thrones?

Lo, My etherean hosts come unarmed, and by a breath blow away their mighty kingdom (Osiris 3:7-8)

In the early days, behold, I kept man on certain continents and places, that I might unfold him in the glory for which I designed him.

But in Kosmon, I open the gates of the oceans, and the seas, and the rivers, and I say unto all My people: Come forth, behold your brethren; go ye into this country, and into that, and learn wisdom from that which I have proved in the family of My house. Be ye profitable unto one another, in the experience and practice of My hand upon all peoples. In one, tallness; in another, shortness; in one, sound teeth and bones and well-formed limbs; in another, sagacity; in one, a dense population and well-tilled lands; in another, plain food and long life; for in Kosmon, man shall go abroad into all countries, one nation with another; and they shall profit by wisdom, to bring 6

forth a new race with all the glories selected from the whole. (Es 8:27-29)

Jehovih saith: What more, O man, have I put upon thee than to learn? And strewn thy path with lessons rich in happiness! To learn the elements, and master them; this it is to be a God or Goddess.

And wherein one man is weak, let two or more unite; a simple thing, by which even the stars of heaven can be turned from their course.

(Osiris 3:7)

Jehovih saith: Only to the wise, the pure, and the just, do I reveal the mysteries of My kingdoms. (Saphah Chine Zerl 50)

Jehovih saith: I have given man many talents. Because the roadways are not open for their growth, he plungeth into darkness. Think not that ye can draw a line, and say: O man, thou shalt not do this, or thou shalt do thus: for ye are powerless to hold him, whom I created to go forward. And if he find not a way to go forward, he will turn and go backward. (Fragapatti 10:4)

Jehovih said: When the world approacheth dan'ha in Mabea, the nations shall be quickened with new light: for Kosmon cometh out of the midst. And My etherean hosts shall press upon the understanding of men, and they shall fill all the nations and kingdoms with new discoveries and inventions and books of learning. And men shall be conceited of themselves above all the ages past, and they shall deny Me and quarrel with My name, and cast Me out. But I will come upon them as a Father, in love and mercy; and My hosts of heaven shall cause babes and fools to confound the wise, by signs and miracles. My hosts from heaven shall cause chairs to speak; and inanimate things to walk and dance. The dead shall reappear to the living, and talk with them face to face, and eat and drink, and prove themselves to the children of earth, and make My kingdoms known.

Yea, they shall encompass the whole earth around about with signs and miracles, and set at nought the philosophy of men and idolatries of the ancients. For both, the living and the dead, shall know that I, Jehovih, live and reign over heaven and earth. This shall be a new era, and it shall be called Kosmon, because it embraceth the present and all the past. Then will I reveal Myself; and they that deny Me shall accept Me; of their own accord will they put away their Lords and their Gods and their Saviours; nor shall they more have idols of Me, either on earth or in heaven, for I am sufficient unto all. (Arc of Kosmon: Plate 94)

9

Neither shall man longer accept any of the former revelations, and bow down unto them; for, as I was sufficient unto the ancients to speak to them things that were good for them, even so will I speak to My chosen of the Kosmon era that which is good for them also. My heavens shall be revealed unto them, as promised by My prophets of old, and man shall be taught how to see and comprehend My heavens with his own judgment, and not according to what any other man saith My revelations are. Behold, in the ancient days, I provided Saviors and rab'bahs and priests to pray for man, and confess him of his sins; but these things will I put away, and no one shall pray for the living, nor confess him of his sins, by words or signs or ceremonies.

But every man shall pray for himself, in his own way, and confess his sins unto Me for forgiveness. And instead of praying in words for his brother, saying: Jehovih, help him, he shall go in person, and help him with his own hands. Neither shall man sit idly and say: O Jehovih, 10

help Thou me; come and save me! But he shall rise up in the majesty I created him, saying: Behold me, Jehovih! I will save myself. Guide Thou me, O Father! And he shall walk forth, proudly in My sight, scorning evil and sin, doing with all his might for his own salvation.

And I will come unto him, for of such shall be My chosen. In Kosmon, I shall not come to make a servant of man unto man; nor to make him afraid, when the priest speaketh. I will make man hold up his head fearlessly before men, in remembrance of his daily covenant unto Me, his Creator, in the practice of righteousness. In that day, the preacher and the priest shall be of little avail; My standard shall be of good works, and not of words. (Es 1:13-24)

Jehovih hath said: In Kosmon, purification shall not come by baptism with either water or fire. But each one shall turn his thoughts inward, to himself, to becoming a constant magistrate, sitting in judgment upon himself as to his thoughts, works and behavior. To perfect himself in his part, in the family of My kingdom, is My new commandment unto My chosen. For no man perfecteth himself unto full requitement whilst he leaveth undone that which he might have done. (Kingdom 10:10-12)

11

But, in this era, I come not to an exclusive people, but to the combination of all peoples commingled together as one people.

Hence I have called this the Kosmon Era. Henceforth, my chosen 12

shall be of the amalgamated races, who chose me. And these shall become the best, most perfect of all the peoples of the earth. And they shall not consider race or color, but health and nobleness as to the mortal part: and as to the spirit, peace, love, wisdom and good works, and one Great Spirit only. (Es 20:37-39)

Jehovih said: All the living have I provided with certain paths to travel in; but man alone I created new out of all things dead and dissolved, and he shall grow forever. To the beast I gave an already created sense (instinct); to man I allotted angels. And even these have I provided with others above them; and yet others above them, forever and ever. Hence the first of man, the newborn babe, I created a blank in sense and judgment, that he may be a witness that even he himself was fashioned and created anew by My hand. Neither created I him imperfectly that he should re-enter a womb and be born over again. That which I do is well done, saith Jehovih.

9:8)

13

(Sethantes

Jehovih said: The corporeal worlds I created round, with land and water, and I made them impenetrable, for I bring forth the living on the surface of them. Let not man imagine that My ethereal worlds are also round and impenetrable; for of all I have created, no two alike created I them. Now, it came to pass in the lapse of time, that the atmosphereans so loved the lower heavens, that they strove not to ascend to the emancipated heavens of Nirvana, never having reached the bridge of Chinvat. But they oft returned to the earth and converse with corporeans, and they lauded the glories of even the lower heavens, so that man looked up in wonder because of the magnificence of the works of the Father. Yet these were bounded spirits. Then Jehovih made the snow-flake and caused it to fall, that man might behold the beauty and glory of its formation. And He sent ethereans down form the emancipated heavens, and these taught 14

man that whatever glory he had yet heard of, was as darkness is to light, compared to the beauty and majesty of the etherean worlds.

And the ethereans held up snow-flakes, saying: In the Name of Jehovih we declare unto you that the etherean worlds are larger than the earth, and penetrable, and full of roadways and crystals, and arches and curves, and angles, so that were man to travel a million years on one alone, he could not see half its beauty and glory. And the firmament of heaven hath tens of thousands of millions of etherean worlds. Let the snowflakes be before your eyes as microscopic patterns of the worlds in high heaven; and ye shall tint them as a rainbow, and people them with countless millions of angels, spotless, pure, holy, and rich in the knowledge of Jehovih and His works, and full of the majesty of His love. (Snow-Flakes: Plate 44)

15

I am One Spirit, saith Jehovih. (Inspiration 6:1)

Jehovih said: I am the power, the light, and the life! (Inspiration 13:24)

Jehovih saith: As a builder measureth the place for the house and provideth a sure foundation, let not My chosen neglect the All Light that I have given to every soul. Ye are as the stones in one building in My sight; and every one must be squared for the place I fashioned from the beginning. The Emeth'a shall be My house; to them will I give the whole earth. Yea, all others shall fail; but My chosen shall not fail. (Saphah Hi’Dang 7)

Jehovih saith: Because I gave thee liberty, thou art responsible for all thou art, and for all thou makest thyself, and for all that shall come to thee, and for thy peace and happiness, both in this world and the next. (Inspiration 13:5)

Jehovih said: Whoever serveth Me, in My name, is My son, or My daughter. The Light of My Judgment falleth upon them sufficient for the time and place. Inasmuch as ye honor them, ye honor Me also.

Through the flowers of the field I express Myself in color and perfume; through the lion and mastadon I express Myself with power and voraciousness; through the lamb and the dove I express myself 16

in meekness and docility. Through man I express Myself in words and actions; and all men, the wise and the ignorant, are channels of My expression. Some have thick tongues and poor speech, nevertheless they are My babes, My sons and daughters. (Ah’Shong 9:19)

Jehovih said: After the Se'muan age I gave to the earth from My etherean heavens sons and daughters, and they abode with mortals for three thousand years. And My ethereans established loo'is on the lands of the earth; and they commanded the loo'is, saying to them: Your office is to lead mortals by inspiration to dwell together, man and woman, as husband and wife; and in such adaption that their offspring shall rise higher in wisdom, love and power, than the father and mother.

(Ah’Shong 9:20)

Jehovih said: I will confound the wise man in the latter days; for he shall not discover why man and woman lived not indiscriminately, as 17

the beasts. Yea, I will show him that they who profess Me are led by Me, that they who deny Me go down to indiscriminate communion.

Out of My works, shall the lessons of the early days of the earth show the presence of My hand from the beginning. By My loo'is was man and woman inspired to raise up such sons and daughters as would glorify Me and My works; by My loo'is have I maintained My foothold amongst mortals. Such as could comprehend Me, having faith that My presence in Person should ultimately triumph for the highest and best, I commanded to be called Faithists. Since the beginning, have I kept a thread of this line inhabiting the earth and her heavens.

(Ah’Shong 9:21-22)

So Jehovih said: Now will I prune the earth and her heaven. Behold, the division of Wagga shall be hewn off and cast beneath the waters of the ocean. Her heaven shall be no longer tenable by the spirits of destruction, for I will rend the foundation thereof and scatter them in 18

the winds of heaven.

Go ye, therefore, down to the earth and

provide nets and vanchas for receiving the spirits of darkness, and for receiving the spirits of mortals who shall perish in the waters. And provide ye a place in My exalted heavens suitable for them; and ye shall wall them about in heaven that they cannot escape, but that they may be weaned from evil.

And when ye are come to the earth

and its heavens, acquaint My God and his Lords with My decree.

And say to them: Thus saith Jehovih: Behold, behold, I will sink the land of Wagga beneath the waters of the ocean, and her heaven will I carry away to a place in My firmament, where she shall no longer engulph My people in darkness. And Jehovih saith: Go thou, O God of heaven, and thou, O Lord of Wagga, down to My chosen, the I'hins, and say to them: Thus saith the Great Spirit: Behold, behold, I will sink the lands of the earth beneath the ocean, because of the evil of the spirits of darkness. Hear Me, O My chosen, and heed My commandments: Fall to, all hands, and build ships in all places, even in the valleys and on the mountains, and let My faithful gather together within the ships, for My hand is surely stretched over the earth.

And ye shall also proclaim unto the earth and her heaven

that from the first, even in the ancient days, I proclaimed My three worlds unto all people, which are: My corporeal worlds and the lower heavens that belong thereto, and My etherean heavens which are in the firmament above. And I said: The first glory is of the earth, whereon is paradise when man obeyeth My commandments; and the 19

second glory, which is greater than the first, I created for the spirits of the dead, but I bound the lower heaven to the earth that it might travel therewith, that the communion of the dead with the living might add a glory unto both. But the upper heaven I made the highest of all glories, and I filled the etherean firmament with countless worlds of their kind for the dwelling places of those that rose in the third resurrection.

And I sent from the exalted heavens down to the

lower heavens, and to the earth, also, My holy angels, over whom I appointed Gods and Lords in the majesty of My dominions. And they came proclaiming these things in My name, teaching both mortals and spirits how to live that they might rise and inherit My illuminated worlds.

And because man was without knowledge, My Gods and

Lords appointed certain masters of generations (loo'is), who were ethereans of great wisdom, to abide with mortals and inspire such marriages as would best promote spiritual growth from the start. And there came forth amongst all people certain ones capable of sar'gis and su'is, and they heeded the commandments of My Gods and Lords, forsaking evil and striving to serve the spirit, choosing Me above all things. Wherefore I chose them also, and called them I'hins.

For as much as they commenced putting away self and serving Me whilst they were yet in corpor, so were they not born in the spirit world before their full time. And even so are others not of full birth who have not in the corporeal form begun to triumph in spirit over their own flesh. (Cycles 3;17-23) 20

Jehovih said: Mine are All Harmony; All Symmetry; All Love, and will endure forever! (Apollo 11:22)

Jehovih said: Think not, O man, I gave talents to men differently on earth, and there to end, making My exalted places to be even shorn and alike. Not so created I man; but as one on earth is mild, and leadeth on by smooth words and persuasive behavior; and as another, by quick perceiving and strong will, plungeth in headlong; even so carry I them onward in My high heavens, perfecting them in 21

their bent, but with wisdom and love, till each becometh as a sun in his sphere.

Fear not, O man, that I have not labor for them in high

heaven: I have worlds to be nurtured and coaxed at times; worlds to be pruned at times, and commanded; by most severe authority made to know that All Power lieth in Me, through My Gods and Lords.

For

these exalted extreme Gods I have places in he firmament, and worlds numberless, whereon they dwell as stars in My heavens.

Thither make I roadways for My traveling corporeal worlds, where lie My etherean fields of pasture, to glorify Me, and lead on the mortal born. So, now, to My commanding God, Osire, who ruled in Lowtsin most amiably, with equals, but was high-strung with impatience toward self-willed ignorance, I brought the undisciplined earth to feel his giant power. (Osiris 2:2-4)

And Jehovih said: That mortals and angels may live and labor in concert, behold, I have given certain days, whereby large congregations on earth may be met by My organic heavens, in re-union, mortals and angels, for the happiness of both, and for the glory of My works. Now, behold also, as by My Presence I inspire thee, when thou laborest with Me, and thou art doing righteously, and with purity and love, so also is it with thee, in regard to My angels.

When thou makest and keepest thy corporeal body pure and clean, My angels, who are pure and clean, come to thee to aid thee, and to enlighten thee. And when thou puttest away all unclean thoughts and 22

all unselfish desires, and seekest to obtain wisdom, and to learn how best thou canst help thy fellow-man, behold, My angels of light and wisdom come to thee, and, by virtue of their presence, which thou seest not, they inspire thy soul in the light of thy Creator. (Inspiration 18:2-5)

Jehovih said: Man shall search all things in order to find Me; but I gave this labor not to one generation of men, nor to those of a hundred, or a thousand years, but to cycles. For, when I come in kosmon, to found My kingdom on earth, man shall have the testimony of all speculation and philosophies before him, together with the fruits thereof. And he shall judge that which is good by the evidence of past practices. (Osiris 13:8) 23

Hear the words of thy Creator, O man! I, Who created the corporeal and the es'ean worlds! Behold the works of My hands! Who can find a place where I have not created!

Think not that I cannot also

create a voice and words. For is this not easier than to create a man who shall create words. Behold My corporeal suns amidst My corporeal star-worlds! Behold My etherean suns amidst My es'sean worlds.

I made corporeal darkness, and I made corporeal light. I

made spiritual darkness, and I made spiritual light. But I am the Light of light. I am the Word of words.

As the wisdom of man inventeth

words, so doth the light of My Light come in words to them that can bear My Light.

Behold My wisdom, O man, in creating souls out of

the substance of corporeal darkness! * Thus can their souls hear Me and not be afraid. But to them who become pure souls, I come openly.

Their throne becometh My throne! Their voice becometh My voice.

Their hosts look upon My throne, and My light shineth before My people. Hear, then, thy Creator, O Zeredho. Thy people called to me in their darkness, but I came not. Thy hand was upon them. Thou hadst said unto them: Behold my wide countries; my mountains and valleys; my bright rivers and refreshing winds. Come ye; they are yours to keep forever! And because thy hand was upon them, they were beset with darkness; they could not find their way out; neither beheld they more the glory of My kingdoms. Yea, thou wert as a wanton going after My chosen, and thy voice luredest them away 24

from Me! But I spoke in Nirvana, high above, in My thrones of light.

And My Sons and Daughters heard My voice. I said unto them: Lo, the red star and her heavens are fallen in darkness! Go ye to them and deliver them into a new resurrection.

Had I not spoken in the

ancient days, saying: Inasmuch as ye raise up them that are beneath you, so will I send them who are above down to you, to raise you up also.

But they forgot My words; neither strove they more to raise up

them that were in the hells below. And I said unto My Nirvanians: Go ye to Zeredho, for she hath enticed My holy ones away from Me. And ye shall give them a parable of compensation openly, and they shall come before My Light and hear My voice. For ye shall take them to hell and cause them to deliver the drujas, through the light of My countenance; and thereafter shall ye bring them to Mouru, that I may speak with them face to face.

(Fragapatti 15:6-15)

25

Jehovih said: I have drawn My cresent and My altar. Whoever would hear My Voice and heed My commandments, let them hearken to the forms and ceremonies that shape the soul of things. I am Order; I am Stateliness without severity; I am Love without passion; I am Wisdom by suggestion, and without dictation; I am the most Silent, but most Powerful; I am the Least Seen, but Always Present when asked for.

(Fragapatti 34: 21)

Cpenta-armij, being under the Voice of Jehovih said: For joy created I man and woman; for seasons of labor and seasons of recreation.

Be ye mirthful before Me, and jubilant toward one another, in remembrance of My creations. And when I call you to labor, behold, My hand will move upon you for the furtherance of My kingdoms in their resurrections. (Cpenta-Armij 3:20)

Jehovih said: By trying Me, there is the beginning. By learning to know thine own power in Me; and to know My power in thee; this is the sum of all power and wisdom. By the lack of faith in Me, man setteth up himself; by the lack of faith in Me, the self-assuming Gods build kingdoms for themselves.

The failure of man is proof of My

power; the failure of all kingdoms is proof of the lack of faith in Me, whereby My power is manifested over them. First, after the abjuring of self, cometh the constant manifestation of power through faith, the example of which holdeth the multitude to Me and My works.

26

Inasmuch as thou hast suffered fear in thy soul for a relapse in thy kingdom, thou hast opened the door for disaster. Have I not proved this on earth?--wherein the faith of a captain leadeth his soldiers on a victory, and his lack of faith breaketh them down in weakness. Think not, O Ahura, that My examples are less with My Gods.

If, therefore,

My Daughter should come to thy kingdom and raise it up, behold, she would lessen thy hosts' faith in thee. For which reason thou shalt return to Ailkin, and proclaim to thy people that thou wilt raise thy plateau. And though millions of them will consider it vanity, and beyond thy power, behold, I will provide unto thee that thou shalt not fail. (Cpenta-Armij 6:12-15)

27

Jehovih said: Behold the plan of My government; which is, to come against nothing in heaven or earth; to seize nothing by the head and turn it round by violence to go the other way.

Though I am the

power that created them, and am the Ever Present that moveth them along, I gave to them to be Gods, like Myself, with liberty to find their own direction.

I created many trees in My garden, the greatest of

which is the tree of happiness. And I called out unto all the living to come and dwell in the shade of that tree, and partake of the fruits and its perfumes. But they run after prickers and they scourge themselves; and then, alas, they fall to cursing Me, and accusing Me of shortness in My government.

I confined them in their mother's

womb for a season, showing them there is a time for all things. But they ran forward hurriedly, desiring speedy happiness and wisdom, without halting to observe My glories by the road-side. I said unto them: Even as I have given liberty unto all My people, so shall ye not impress into your service your brothers and sisters. But the self-assuming Gods make slaves of their fellows; they build roads round about, and station armies of soldiers to prevent My newborn from coming to My most glorious kingdoms.

They go down to the

earth and inspire kings and queens, and rich men, to do the same things. And they portion out to their servants, saying to them: Serve ye me, and I will do for you. They little think that their servants will become as thorns, and stones, and chains, and spears against them in the far future. They build up a justice of their own, saying: As much 28

as my servants labor for me, so will I render unto them. But I have said unto them that no man shall serve another but for love, which shall be his only recompense.

The king and the queen of the earth,

and the rich man, shut their own eyes against Me, thinking by that means I cannot see them; they flatter themselves that in heaven they will give the slip to their servants. But I sowed a seed of bondage in My garden, and I said: Whosoever bindeth another, shall himself be bound. And behold, when they are risen in heaven, their servants and their soldiers come upon them; their memory is as a troubled dream that will not away from them.

Nevertheless, with these great

examples before them, still there are angels in hada that have not profited therein. For they say unto themselves; I will build a great kingdom in heaven; I will become the mightiest of Gods; millions of angels shall serve me; I will shut out the Great Spirit and His far-off heavens; I will wall my place around with an army of soldiers, and with fire and water.

As a libertine stealeth an unsuspicious damsel

to abuse her; and, in time, she waketh up to the matter but to curse him, so do the false Gods steal upon the inhabitants of My places and carry them into bondage. But the light of My understanding dwelleth in the souls of My little ones; it waiteth for the spring sun; and it will spring up and grow into a mighty tree to accuse these Gods. (Wars 17:2-10)

29

Jehovih said: I answer all things by good. To the good at heart I give good thoughts, desires and holy observations. To the perverse of heart I hold up My glories and the beneficence of virtue and peaceful understanding. To them that practice charity and good works unto others, laboring not for self, I give the highest delight. Though they be pricked in the flesh with poverty and wicked persecutions, yet their souls are as the waters of a smooth-running river. Amongst them that practice evil, and destruction, and war, I send emissaries of benevolence and healing, who have plenteous words of pity.

These

are My arrows, and spears, and warclubs, O God: Pity, gentle words, and the example of tenderness. Soon or late, these shall triumph over all things in heaven and earth. (Wars 17:12-13)

30

Jehovih said: I suffer not evil to triumph over good but for short seasons; and, soon or late, My righteous Sons and Daughters, raise up and rejoice in their trials which I suffered to come upon them. Let not men or angels say, because this or that happeneth: Lo, Jehovih sleepeth at his post! or: lo, Jehovih is the author of evil, or is impotent to avert it. My times are not as the times of men or angels; nor am I within the judgment of men as to what is evil or good. When the wealth of the rich man is stolen, do not mortals say: Poor man, Jehovih hath afflicted him! For they judge Me by what they consider afflictions. But they behold not that I look to the soul of man as to what is good for him. And when the assassin hath struck the king unto death, behold, they say: How hath a good Creator done this?

For they consider not the nation nor the problem of anything but for the day thereof; nor consider they what I do for the souls of many nations, by one small act.

For all people in heaven and earth are

Mine own; they are as trees in My orchard, and I prune them not for the life of the branches, but for benefit of the whole orchard, and for the harvest that cometh after. I created life, and I take away life; in Mine own way do I with Mine own. I send night to follow the day; clouds to interchange with the sunshine. And even so do I give times of dan to My atmospherean heavens, to be followed by seasons of darkness. By these changes do mortals and angels and Gods learn to battle with and overcome the elements of My worlds.

The true

Gods said: We weep before Thee, O Jehovih. Long and hard we 31

labored our allotted seasons; we were helpless witnesses to the great darkness that came upon the inhabitants of heaven and earth.

(Lika 9: 1-7)

Jehovih said: Have faith in thy Creator; in a good work done unto My little ones, behold, I will provide.

Whatsoever thou dost unto them,

even so dost thou unto Me, wherein thou shalt not fail.

Neither shalt

thou have anything to do with any adult man or woman who is without faith in Me. Behold, My people are infants in this era. Deal thou with them, and with such only as are willing to serve them; for as much as they are served, so am I served also. (Kingdom 1:121-5)

32

Hath not Jehovih said on earth: Husband and wife shall be the model and key of My kingdom?

As woman forsaketh father, mother,

brother and sister and becometh one with her husband, so do they of the first resurrection forsake all the earth and the lowest heaven in order to become one with the kingdom of thy God.

For, save the

mind and heart be one with my holy place, the love of improvement will also depart out of that man's soul.

Isolation belongeth below the

second resurrection, but unity is within it. He who hath disciplined himself to be honest in his own sight may be in error; he who striveth to do good on his own account may be in error as to an ultimate good; and in all cases man alone is weak.

Yet no man can practice

the highest whilst living with those who are inclined downward. In the second

resurrection

the

angels

are

relieved

of

individual

responsibility, all matters being under the wisdom of the Holy Council, whose head is thy God.

First on earth, monarchies, then republics,

then fraternities, the latter of which is now in embryo, and shall follow after both the others.

Behold, how hard it is for an ignorant man to

conceive of a state without a master, or for the people of a republic to understand a state without votes and majorities, and a chief ruler. Yet such shall be the fraternities. Have they not resolved their colleges into teachers and pupils? By their superior knowledge do these heads receive their places, yet not as rulers, but teachers. Have they not resolved jurisprudence so that testimony governs the rulings? According to evidence adduced and the knowledge of the 33

judge, so shall he decide, and not according to his own volition. Out of the wisdom of the college and the court shalt thou discover the rules of fraternity, and by relieve-watch preserve the brotherhood against caste and dictatorship.

See to it then, in departing out of Uz,

that thou take with thee only things that have proved good—the rest leave behind.

(Discipline 12 4-16)

Jehovih saith: I will show My power through My people in the time of My covenants (Bon 17:17)

Jehovih saith: In the time of se’mu I brought the earth into a’ji, and Ji’ay, and darkness was upon the face of the earth for the space of three thousand years; and yet for other three thousand years half darkness covered all the land and water. Behold, O man, as I have 34

given to females a time to bring forth their young, so gave I to the earth a time for conception of the living species on the land, in the water and in the air above, and I called the time the era of se’mu.

And it came to pass, when the earth was in the midst of Taza, there fell upon the earth, for a space equal to twelve days, condensed nebula in dust and stones and water combined, sufficient in some places to cover up the forests Jehovih had made. And that which fell was hot like molten iron; and the trees and forests of the valleys were beaten down, and covered up, and burnt to blackness. Jehovih said: And these shall remain on earth, for in the time that followeth, man shall seek the coal not knowing whence it came. And it will bear witness of the regions of a’ji and ji’ay in the firmament of heaven.

(The Earth in Se’mu: Plate 39)

Jehovih said: By virtue of My presence created I the seen and the unseen worlds. And I commanded man to name them; and man called the seen worlds Corper, and the unseen worlds Es; and the inhabitants of Corpor, man called corporeans. But the inhabitants of Es he called sometimes es'eans and sometimes spirits, and sometimes angels.

(Jehovih 2:1)

35

Jehovih said: I created the earth, and fashioned it, and placed it in the firmament; and by My presence brought man forth a living being.

A corporeal body gave I him that he might learn corporeal things; and 36

death I made that he might rise in the firmament and inherit My etherean worlds. To es I gave dominion over corpor; with es I filled all place in the firmament. But corpor I made into earths and moons and stars and suns; beyond number made I them, and I caused them to float in the places I allotted to them. Es I divided into two parts, and I commanded man to name them, and he called one etherea and the other atmospherea. These are the three kinds of worlds I created; but I gave different densities to atmospherean worlds, and different densities to the etherean worlds. For the substance of My etherean worlds I created Ethe, the Most Rarified. Out of ethe made I them. And I made ethe the most subtle of all created things, and gave to it power and place, not only by itself, but also power to penetrate and exist within all things, even in the midst of the corporeal worlds. And to ethe gave I dominion over both atmospherea and corpor.

In the All Highest places created I the

etherean worlds, and I fashioned them of all shapes and sizes, similar to My corporeal worlds. But I made the etherean worlds inhabitable both within and without, with entrances and exits, in arches and curves, thousands of miles high and wide, and overruled I them with All Perfect mechanism; and in colors and movable chasms and mountains in endless change and brilliancy. To them I gave motions, and orbits and courses of their own; independent made I them, and above all other worlds in potency and majesty.

Neither created I one etherean world like another in size or density or 37

in component parts, but everyone differing from another, and with a glory matchless each in its way.

Atmospherean worlds I also

created in the firmament, and I gave them places and orbits and courses for themselves. But atmospherean worlds I created shapeless and void of fixed form, for they are in process of condensation or dissolution, being intermediate in condition betwixt My etherean and My corporeal worlds. Of three degrees of density created I them, and I commanded man to name them, and one he called A'ji, and one Ji'ay, and one Nebulae.

But all of them are

composed of the same substances, being like the earth, but rarified.

Nor is there on the earth or in it one thing, even iron, or lead, or gold, or water, or oil, or stones, but the same things are in My atmospherean worlds. As I have given light to the earth so have I given light to many of them; and all such have I commanded man to call comets. And even so named he them.

And I also created

atmospherea around about my corporeal worlds; together made I them. (Jehovih 2:2-10)

Jehovih said: Behold, I have all living creatures to gestate in darkness. And this shall be testimony to the end of the world, that, when I created life on the face of the earth, she traveled in My se’muan firmament. (Se’muan Firmament: Plate 6)

38

Jehovih said: Because of My presence quickened I into life all that live, or ever have lived.

Because I am male and female, even in my

likeness, thus made I them. Because I am the power to quicken into life, so, in likeness of Me thus, made I them, and with power to bring forth. According to their respective places created I the living; not in pairs only, but in hundreds of pairs and thousands, and in millions.

According to their respective places and the light upon se'mu, so quickened I them in their color, adapted to their dwelling places.

Each and every living thing created I new upon the earth, of a kind each to itself; and not one living thing created I out of another.

Let

a sign be upon the earth, that man in his darkness may not believe that one animal changeth and becometh another.

Thereupon

Jehovih gave permission for different animals to bring forth a new living animal, which should be unlike either its mother or father, but he caused the new product to be barren. Jehovih said: And this 39

shall be testimony before all men that I created each and all the living, after their own kind only.

Such is My person and My spirit, being

from everlasting to everlasting; and when I bring a new world into the time of se'mu, lo and behold my presence quickeneth the substance into life; according to the locality and the surroundings, so do I bring forth the different species; for they are flesh of My flesh and spirit of My spirit. To themselves give I themselves; nevertheless, they are all members of My Person.

As a testimony to man, behold the earth

was once a globe of liquid fire! Nor was there any seed thereon. But in due season I rained down se'mu on the earth; and by virtue of my presence quickened I into life all the living. Without seed created I the life that is in them. (Jehovih 5:5-14)

Jehovih said: Have I not declared Myself in the past; in My works have I not provided thousands of years in advance? As I have shown 40

system in the corporeal worlds, know thou, O man, that system prevaileth in the firmament.

To the tree I gave life; to man I gave life

and spirit also. And the spirit I made was separate from the corporeal life. Out of se'mu I made man, and man was but as a tree, but dwelling in ha'k; and I called him Asu (Adam).

(Jehovih 6:9-11)

I looked over the wide heavens that I had made, and I saw countless millions of spirits of the dead that had lived and died on other corporeal worlds before the earth was made.

I spake in the

firmament, and My voice reached to the uttermost places. And there came in answer to the sounds of My voice, myriads of angels from the roadway in heaven, where the earth traveleth. I said to them, Behold! A new world have I created; come ye and enjoy it. Yea, ye shall learn from it how it was with other worlds in ages past.

There

alighted upon the new earth millions of angels from heaven; but many of them had never fulfilled a corporeal life, having died in infancy, and these angels comprehended not procreation nor corporeal life.

And I said, go and deliver Asu from darkness, for he

shall also rise in spirit to inherit my etherean worlds. And now was the earth in the latter days of se'mu, and the angels could readily take on corporeal bodies for themselves; out of the elements of the earth clothed they themselves, by force of their wills, with flesh and bones. By the side of the Asuans took they on corporeal forms.

And I said: Go ye forth and partake of all that is on the earth; but 41

partake ye not of the tree of life, lest in that labor ye become procreators and as if dead to the heavens whence ye came.

But

those who had never learned corporeal things, being imperfect in wisdom, comprehended not Jehovih's words, and they dwelt with the Asuans, and were tempted, and partook of the fruit of the tree of life; and lo and behold they saw their own nakedness. And there was born of the first race (Asu) a new race called man; and Jehovih took the earth out of the travail of se'mu and the angels gave up their corporeal bodies. Jehovih said: Because ye have raised up those that shall be joint heirs in heaven, ye shall tread the earth with your feet, and walk by the sides of the new born, being guardian angels over them, for they are of your own flesh and kin.

Fruit of your seed

have I quickened with my spirit, and man shall come forth with a birthright to My etherean worlds.

As I have quickened the seed of

the first born, so will I quicken all seed to the end of the earth. And each and every man-child and woman-child born into life will I quicken with a new spirit, which shall proceed out of Me at the time of conception. Neither will I give to any spirit of the higher or lower heaven power to enter a womb, or a fetus of a womb, and be born again. As the corporeal earth passeth away, so shall pass away the first race Asu; but as I pass not away, so shall not pass away the spirit of man. (Jehovih 6:12-22)

The end of the se'muan age, that is, the time of the termination of 42

creating animal life. Jehovih said: Behold, I quickened the earth with living creatures; by My breath came forth all the living on the face of the earth and in the waters thereof, and in the air above the earth.

And I took the earth out of the dark regions, and brought her into the light of My ethereal worlds. And I commanded the living to bring forth, by cohabitation, every species after its own kind. And man was more dumb and helpless than any other living creature. Jehovih spake to the angels that dwelt in His ethereal worlds, saying: Behold, I have created a new world, like unto the places where ye were quickened into life; come ye and enjoy it, and raise man upright and give him words of speech. For these will also be angels in time to come.

(X’Sar’Jis: Plate 7)

43

Jehovih said: From the trees, the fruits, the flowers, the grains and seeds, and roots that grow in the ground, have I created a ceaseless harvest going upward into the atmosphere, which shall be the sustenance of the spirits of men newborn in heaven. But whosoever feasteth on flesh on earth, shall not find spiritual food in heaven, but he shall return to the butcheries and eating-houses where flesh is eaten, and he shall feast on the atmospherean part thereof, before it is rotten. Be ye guarded of them, lest they engraft themselves on mortals, feasting on their feasts, and so go down to destruction.

(Sethantes 3:27)

44

Jehovih said: In likeness of the solid earth, and stars, and moon, that float in the unseen firmament, so made I atomic parts to all things, and made them to float in ethe. As the earth is to the air and the ether above, so is an atom of corpor to the ethe'ic solution.

Jehovih said:

Think not, O man, there is but one member in My Person, and that different conditions and states of that one comprise My universe. The foolish man hath said, the blood is the flesh and bones, and that the flesh and bones are but a state of blood; but he seeth not that I make not flesh out of blood, but out of that that the blood carrieth. And in 45

like manner carry I the corpor of My Person in the ethe of My Being.

(Thor 4:13-14)

Jehovih said:

I suffer not evil to triumph over good but for short

seasons; and, soon or late, My righteous Sons and Daughters, raise up and rejoice in their trials which I suffered to come upon them. Let not men or angels say, because this or that happeneth: Lo, Jehovih sleepeth at his post! or: lo, Jehovih is the author of evil, or is impotent to avert it. My times are not as the times of men or angels; nor am I within the judgment of men as to what is evil or good. When the wealth of the rich man is stolen, do not mortals say: Poor man, Jehovih hath afflicted him! For they judge Me by what they consider afflictions. But they behold not that I look to the soul of man as to what is good for him. And when the assassin hath struck the king unto death, behold, they say: How hath a good Creator done this?

46

For they consider not the nation nor the problem of anything but for the day thereof; nor consider they what I do for the souls of many nations, by one small act. For all people in heaven and earth are Mine own; they are as trees in My orchard, and I prune them not for the life of the branches, but for benefit of the whole orchard, and for the harvest that cometh after. I created life, and I take away life; in Mine own way do I with Mine own. I send night to follow the day; clouds to interchange with the sunshine. And even so do I give times of dan to My atmospherean heavens, to be followed by seasons of darkness. By these changes do mortals and angels and Gods learn to battle with and overcome the elements of My worlds. (Lika 9:1-6)

Jehovih said: Because I created thee craving for light, thou goest forth searching. Thou art on a long road; to the summit of All Light, even Gods have not attained. (Ben 1:22)

47

Jehovih said: All power gave I to the unseen to rule over the seen.

(Ben 2:8)

Jehovih said: Let the sign of the corporeal worlds be as the signs of the etherean worlds; nevertheless they shall be independent of one another. Neither shall the travel of corporea disturb the motions and positions of ethereal, but pass through , as if there were nothing. But the behavior of the etherean worlds on corporea shall be to bring them to maturity and old age, and final dissolution. And it was so.

And there floated in the midst of ethereal certain densities, so called a’ji and Ji’ay and nebula, which sometimes augmented the size of the traveling corporeal worlds, and sometimes illumed them on the borders of the vortices, and these were called photospheres, because they were the places of the generation of light.

(Photospheres Plate 41) 48
