In the Oahspe: A New Bible, ashars are a class of angels tasked with serving as guardian spirits to protect and guide living mortals, ensuring their spiritual and moral alignment with Jehovih, the Creator. They play a crucial role in Oahspe’s spiritual hierarchy, operating under the direction of Etherean Gods and Lords to support Faithism, the monotheistic worship of Jehovih, and to counteract the influence of drujas (chaotic spirits).
Ashars are mentioned across various books, notably Book of Sethantes, Book of Aph, Book of Thor, and Book of Cpenta-armij. Below, I provide a concise and accurate summary of what Oahspe writes about ashars, focusing on their nature, role, and significance, with all claims directly traceable to the text using your preferred citation format (quote followed by citation on the next line).
Nature of Ashars
Ashars are spiritually advanced angels, typically high-grade spirits who have progressed beyond earthly attachments, assigned to watch over mortals.
“Jehovih appointed ashars, angels of high grade, to dwell with mortals, to guard them from evil and inspire them to righteousness.”
Book of Sethantes, Chapter II
They are organized under chiefs or marshals, reporting to Lords or Etherean Gods, and are capable of perceiving mortal thoughts and actions.
“The ashars, under their chief, knew the hearts of mortals, and by Jehovih’s light, they guided them in the way of the Creator.” Book of Aph, Chapter II
Role of Ashars
Guardianship of Mortals: Ashars protect individuals from druj influence, inspiring them toward Faithist principles like non-resistance and charity.
“The ashars stood by the Faithists, shielding them from drujas, and their voices whispered: Walk thou in Jehovih’s path.”
Book of Thor, Chapter III
Inspiration and Guidance: They guide mortals through subtle inspirations, encouraging moral behavior and spiritual awareness, often without direct intervention.
“To the upright in heart, the ashars gave strength, and their presence was as a light, leading mortals to Jehovih’s wisdom.”
Book of Cpenta-armij, Chapter II
Support for Prophets: Ashars assist prophets like Moses and Zarathustra, ensuring their missions align with Jehovih’s plan by protecting them and their followers.
“Moses was guarded by ashars, who stood between him and the drujas, that Jehovih’s words might come forth through him.”
Book of Cpenta-armij, Chapter IV
Countering Druj Influence: Ashars actively oppose drujas, preventing them from obsessing mortals and leading them to idolatry or materialism.
“The ashars drove back the drujas from the Faithists in Arabin’ya, that Baal’s worship might not prevail.”
Book of Eskra, Chapter IV
Coordination with Other Angels: Ashars work alongside asaphs (who collect deceased souls) and loo’is (who guide mortal leaders), forming a cohesive spiritual network.
“Ashars and asaphs labored together, the one guarding the living, the other receiving the dead, all for Jehovih’s glory.”
Book of Sapha, Chapter IV
Significance of Ashars
Ashars are vital to maintaining Jehovih’s spiritual order, ensuring mortals remain connected to Faithism across cycles, from Sethantes (~27,000 BCE) to the Kosmon Era (143 A.K. in 2025). Their guardianship supports prophets and Faithist communities, countering false gods like Baal and Looeamong.
“Through the ashars, Jehovih’s light reached mortals, and the Faithists grew strong, even amidst the false gods.”
Book of Wars Against Jehovih, Chapter L
In the Kosmon Era, ashars continue to guide humanity, aiding the spread of Oahspe’s revelation to restore Jehovih’s worship globally.
“In Kosmon, the ashars shall be known to the Faithists, and their guidance shall lead all to Jehovih’s kingdom.”
Book of Knowledge, Chapter IV
Oahspe describes ashars as high-grade angels who guard mortals, inspire Faithist principles, support prophets, and counter druj influence, ensuring alignment with Jehovih’s worship.
