BEING OF THE FIRST DELIVERANCE OF GOD担 CHOSEN PEOPLE.
CHAPTER I.
- Jehovih spake to Cpenta-armij, Goddess of Haot-saiti, in Nirvana, in the arc of Spe-ta, Commander of the South fields of Abarom, in the Orian Plains of Bilothowitchieun, of a reign of two hundred thousand years; Surveyor for Otsias, ten thousand years; Leader of the Oixan, seventy thousand years; Captain of Geliyas’ roadways, in the forest of Lugga, twenty thousand years; Founder and Ruler of Isaas, thirty thousand years; Trencher of the Haigusets swamps, four thousand years; Goddess of Nor, Goddess of Eunigi, Goddess of Poutu, each ten thousand years, saying:
- My Daughter, behold, the red star and her heavens come your*** way. She will cross the arc of Spe-ta, four years and thirty-two days’ riding. Open you thy fields in Abarom, and give her forty years’ indulgence, for this is the first of her deliverances.
- Cpenta-armij answered, saying: I see the red star, the earth, O Jehovih! Like a wandering ship in a wide ocean she come through my fields, the young earth, traveling on, carefully, in the roads of Salkwatka. Hath she so soon, but little more than sixty thousand years, overcome her enduring knots and torturing hells?
- In Thy Wisdom and Power, O Jehovih, I will go in person to this corporeal world, and encourage her God and Lords for the excellent labor done.
- Jehovih said: Call your*** Council, and proclaim from My throne the FEAST OF THE ARC OF SPE探A. Then Cpenta-Armij called her High Council, a hundred millions, Sons and Daughters of Jehovih, and she ascended to her place in the midst of the throne of the Great Spirit.
- And there were present: Obed, God of Oise, in Embrahk; Gavaini, Goddess of Ipthor, of the Solastis Plains; Ab, First Shriever of Riv-Seing; Holon-ho, God of Loo-Gam; Raisi, Goddess of Esdras; Wish-tse, God of Zuth, in Ronega; and all these Gods and Goddesses were above a hundred thousand years raised in etherean realms, and knew the earth before inhabited by man.
- On a visit to Cpenta-armij were: Owks, Orian Chief of Maiter-lan, fifty thousand years, Marshal of Wiski-loo, thirty thousand years, God of Tunsin, in the Tarps Roads, ninety thousand years; and See-wah-Gon, Chieftainess of the Orian arc of Su-los, two hundred thousand years, Mistress of Aftong, in the Plains of Bel, three hundred thousand years, Pilotess of Lu-wow-lu, one hundred thousand years, Goddess of Eune, in the Mountains of Gem-king; and Ha-o-ha, Founder of Ogee, of Siam, of Wick-a-wick, and the twelve Nirvanian Old-tse, in Lo-owtz, Eli-hagam, together with their traveling hosts, each five millions.
- Cpenta-armij said: For Thy glory, O Jehovih, I proclaim the FEAST OF THE ARC OF SPE探A. And these, my visiting hosts, should enjoy the four years’ deliverance of the red star and her heavens!
- Then responded Owks, and then See-wah-Gon, then Ha-o-ha, speaking at great length, and rejoicing for the invitation. And they related many adventures on other stars in the time of the arc of deliverance, the arc of Spe-ta, and with what Gods and Goddesses they journeyed, and what Chiefs and Chieftainesses.
- So Cpenta-armij spake to her chief marshal, saying: Send you heralds to the builders, and order me an airavagna capable of five hundred millions, and of speed, grade sixty. After this you should select from my attendants one hundred millions, and after that three hundred millions of the Egisi.
- With these, and with my visitors, I will start for the red star in twenty days. The proper officers attended to these things, and whilst they were moving about, behold, the red star, the earth, rose up in the far-off place, the roadway, and the es’enaurs saw it, and they chanted:
- What is yonder? The red star, Jehovih! Thy breath hath spoken. Thy voice, the silent motion. O Thy endless power, Jehovih!
- Around about her, close; what is that filled with angels, thousands of millions! Wondrous are Thy works, O Jehovih, and measureless. She rid around the sun, two hundred and seventy million miles.
- It is her atmosphere, traveling with her; its boundary, Chinvat. How fearfully hast you created, O Jehovih! And the magnitude of Thy places! That little red star is a world, O Father! And the thousands of millions of angels, why do they stay in such heavens, O Jehovih!
- Then the trumpeters afar off answered: She that spin round the sun, the red star, the earth, a new world, a generator of the souls of men. The Gods have called her, but she will not hear. Her atmosphere is full of angels struggling for the earth. But Thy hand is upon them, O Jehovih. Thy trumpeters will line the roads of Salkwatka.
- Then sang the es’enaurs: How lovely are Thy works, O Jehovih! Too lovely are Thy places, O Jehovih! Too lovely is the red star, the earth, O Jehovih! Thy children love it while in mortal form; after death too much they love it, O Jehovih!
- The pipers answer for Jehovih from the Wide East:1 O so little to love, made I the earth, the red star. I gave her poisoned weeds and vines and grasses; millions of death-dealing serpents. Then I created poisoned marshes and terrible fevers. In sore travail, and full of misery, created I man on the earth, that he should turn and look upward for a holier place.
- Then sang the en’enaurs: Too lovely createdst You Thy atmospherean heavens, O Jehovih! Thy bounden heavens that travel with the red star, the earth. The spirits raised up from the mortal earth find too much to love in Thy lower heavens, O Jehovih!
- The pipers again answered for Jehovih: My lower heavens created I full of darkness and evil possibilities. A place for madness created I it; a place for lying and deceit; full of hell and torments. To drive man upward; to blow My breath upon him, to lift him up, as one light”’ the fire by blowing.
- Cpenta-armij spake from Jehovih’s throne, saying: What is the deliverance of man? Is it from his mother’s womb? Is it from his corporeal body? Is it from the corporeal world and her atmosphere? Three births hath the Father given unto all men. In the first, man hath nothing to do, as to his shaping or time in his mother’s womb. In the second he hath a little more to do as to directing his course during his mortal life; but for the third, for the higher heavens, he must work for his own deliverance.
- Cpenta-armij said: Three kinds of earth deliverance for man created the Creator; First from his mother’s womb, coming crying, blank and helpless; second, from the tetracts (earthly passions and desires), serious and full of fear; third, from the enemies of the Great Spirit. This is the Feast of Spe-ta.
1 Wide East is a term used in the Aven Rites.
CHAPTER II.
- Cpenta-armij said: I looked afar, and saw the earth and her heavens traveling on. I listened to the voice of mortals! A merchant counted over his gains; he said: This is heaven! A drunkard quaffed a cup of poison; he said: This is heaven! A wanton said: This is heaven! A general, red with blood, counted the badges on his breast; he said: This is heaven! A tyrant, rich in toiling slaves, said: This is heaven! Then a vast multitude, all smeared with the blood of war, pointed to a field of mortals slain, and said: This is heaven! A farmer stretched wide his arms, toward his great possessions, uncultivated; he said: This is heaven! A little child with a toy said: This is heaven!
- Then spake Jehovih, saying: None of these can you convince to the contrary. They are not ready for deliverance.
- I listened to the voice of spirits, the angels traveling with the earth. A wanderer, going about, with nothing to do, said: This is heaven! An obsessor of mortals and of other angels said: This is heaven! The fairies, the butterfly angels, the triflers, that forever look in crystal waters to behold their own forms, said: This is heaven! The rollicking, deceiving angels, went and inspired mortals to falsehood; these angels said: This is heaven! Vampire angels, that nestle in the atmosphere of mortals, largely living on their substance, said: This is heaven! Evil angels, obsessing mortals for murder’s sake, to make mortals burn houses and torture helpless creatures, said: This is heaven!
- Then spake Jehovih, saying: None of these can you convince to the contrary. They are not ready for deliverance.
- Again I listened to the sounds coming from the far-off earth. And I heard the prayers of mortals. The king prayed for his kingdom and for himself. The general prayed for success in war. The merchant for great gains; the tyrant for great authority.
- Jehovih said: Only the earth can answer such prayers.
- I listened again for the prayers of mortals; they had great afflictions, dire diseases, and famines, and wars; the merchants were bankrupt, and there was great suffering, and they prayed for deliverance.
- Jehovih said: Shouldst you deliver them they would return to their old, evil habits. I say unto you*, the merchant should be bankrupt; the king should fail; the general be overthrown; the healthy should be sick for a season. Save they know My power, they cannot learn; save they feel affliction, they will not help one another. Should a man say: O Jehovih, come You and heal the sick? Should he not first of all recognize My will and know My power?
- To give money to the drunkard, what good is that? To give wealth and earthly prosperity to them that acknowledge not Me, is to set them against Me. To give healing to the fevered, is to teach them that I have no power in the unseen air. Answer not you the prayers of these.
- I listened once more to the prayers of mortals. And they were such as lived according to their highest light; they purified the flesh by pure food, and by bathing every day; and they went about doing good constantly, hoarding up neither clothes, nor silver, nor gold, nor anything earthly. And they purified their thoughts by putting away the evil tongue, and the evil eye, and evil ear; and many of them were bound by the kings, and the tyrants, and the laws of mortals; and some of them were sick. And they prayed, saying: Great is my affliction, O Jehovih. I know that in Thy sight I am justly punished.
- But hear You my prayer, O Father! Make me strong, that I may carry heavy burdens for the weary; give me liberty, that I may go about helping the poor forever. Give me wisdom, that I may uncover Thy glories before men.
- Jehovih said: Go you, My Daughter, and deliver them. They are ready for deliverance! Answer you the prayers of such.
- Then I called my hosts together, five hundred millions, in the Nirvanian heavens in Haot-saiti, in etherea, the highest heaven. And we entered into the airavagna, as, swelling high on every side, the music of millions cheered us on. Upward, high up, shone the glimmering red star, whereon now our steersman pointed the fire-arrow, to shoot meteor-like across Jehovih’s pathway, and thitherward turned our buoyant souls, saluting our starters with a happy good-by!
- Arise! Arise! By my vested power in you*, O Jehovih, should the elements fall before my will! Arise; onward! To the red star, speed on! Airavagna, upward, on!
- Thus spake Cpenta-armij, her voice mellow and sweet, but so tuned to the spheres it could be heard the breadth of a world. And Jehovih, with whose power and will she had learned to be as one, by long experience and studying submission to His will, lent a willing ear and strong hand. Out shot the flames, the buoyant force manufactured by less skilled workmen learning the trade of Gods, where whirled the million screws of fire, propelling, till the mighty ship reeled, and turned, and rose from its foundation, with all its joyous hosts aboard, shouting loud, and singing praise to Him who rule over all. Then turning round and round, slowly, spiral like, the great secret form and force of vortices now first revealed to man, to show the plan of worlds, and how holden in their places and moved in universal harmony and endless creation, the great airavagna began her course in the roadway of Salkwatka, in etherea, shooting toward the red star, the young earth.
- Nearing first the Oixanian Spars of Ochesu, where were gathered near the road ten million spectators to see the Goddess pass in her ship; and their banners waved, and their music burst forth most exhilarating; the which were answered by the airavagna’s cheering hosts and sailing streamers. She halted, to salute in honor, the Goddess Yuetisiv, and then upward shot a thousand miles suddenly.
- Again onward, turning the breadth of the road, a million miles, to the right, to salute Vultanya, Goddess of the swamps of Ailassasak, where stood by the portico of her heavenly palace seventy million pupils, in their thousandth year of tuition, to receive the passing blessing of the Orian Chieftainess, Cpenta-armij. And thither, but a halt, as it were a nod, and downward on their heads Cpenta-armij sent a shower of newly-created flowers from the sphere above, and in turn heard their chorus rise joyfully, in as many million words of love and admiration.
- Still onward, upward sped the airavagna, her hosts viewing the scenes on every side, here most, the richest part and most glorious places of Salkwatka. Where the etherean worlds, rich in the glitter of swamps shining on the countless rainbow arches and crystal pyramids, afford an extensive view of the new Orian boundaries of Oteson’s broad kingdoms. Here course the thousands of excursionists from the measureless regions of the Huan lights, where are to be seen a million varieties of fire-ships, of sizes from ten miles across to the breadth of a world, in unceasing travel, in tens of thousands of directions, onward in their ways, every several one a history of millions of years, and of thousands of millions of souls, and every soul rich in the knowledge of thousands of worlds.
- By music alone, some their ships propelled, the vibratory chords affording power sufficient in such high-skilled hands, and the tunes changing according to the regions traversed. Others, even by colors made in the waves of sound, went forward, carrying millions of angels, every one attuned so perfectly that his very presence lent power and beauty to the monarch vessel. And downward and upward, and east and west, and north and south, and of every angle and course; such were the traveling regions of Wellagowthiij, in the etherean fields of Oteson.
- And of the million ships, with their tens of thousands of millions of spirits, who so great a Goddess, like Cpenta-armij, could turn her well-learned eyes on any one, and know its home regions, and from what Orian pastures sailed; or perhaps Nirvanian rivers! Or, like her visiting friends now with her, great Owks, and See-wah-Gon, and Ha-o-ha, that with her stood side by side, reading the coursing fleets, and relating to one another who they were, and the great Chiefs aboard, with whom thousands of years ago they had been together taming some rambling star and quieting its disturbed vortex, or perhaps surveying a roadway many millions of miles through an a’ji’an forest.
- And the while the airavagna was shooting on in the hands of her proper officers, every one to his part and all the hosts in varied amusement; for such is the labor of the high raised in heaven, labor itself become an amusement of great relish. Coming then to the Crossings, near Bilothowitchieun, where was a small colony, ninety million etherean weavers, superintended by Cpenta-armij’s ward, Hoewuel, God of two thousand years, who knew she was coming his way, and had lighted the roadway a hundred thousand miles in honor thereof, she turned the airavagna and cast the streamers and banners, saluting. Here again Cpenta-armij sent down to her beloved sons and daughters, for every one, flowers and keepsakes; and on every flower was written the history and mission to the earth and her heavens. And then again the airavagna upward rose and sped on.
- Thus in Jehovih’s wide universe went forth the Goddess, the Chieftainess, Cpenta-armij, went toward the red star; passing through ten thousand varieties of etherean worlds and roadways in the ji’ay’an fields and forests of high heaven, seeing millions of etherean ships going here and thither, every one knowing its own mission and field of labor, whilst the highest raised Gods and Goddesses could exchange courtesies with the fiery vehicles, and speak them, to know whither bent, and for what purpose.
- Then rising high; here on a level lie the earth, here the boundary of her vortex, Chinvat; just beyond the sweep of the moon; halt”’ here to view the rolling earth, her land and water; and her atmospherean heavens, the sojourning place of the newly dead, and of such as have not aspired to rise to holier heavens.
- Quickly, now, Cpenta-armij take in the situation, and order”’ on the airavagna, which now take a downward course, steering straight toward the habitable earth. Slowly now, turning slowly, and descending; viewing all the regions on every side in the great vortex, she spies the plateau Craoshivi, the place of God, new founded.
- And to her companions and to her hosts quickly Cpenta-armij, of the Nirvanian Chengotha, explain”’ the place; and, stretching forth her slender hand, itself most like a stream of fire, she cry out: Behold my anchorage! Here bring my ship and make fast, where rise now the voices of my weary God and his Lords, of me so long expectant. In Thy wisdom and power, O Jehovih, I will raise them up!
CHAPTER III.
- Jehovih spake to God, ruler of atmospherea and of the earth, saying: Well done, O My Son! The beginning of the end of your*** trials is at hand. I have spoken in the highest heavens, in My etherean worlds; in the gardens of Haot-saiti, near the arc of Spe-ta, to My Daughter, who hath attained to One with Me, a Nirvanian in the regions of Chen-gotha, the holy Cpenta-armij.
- Her ship, an airavagna, with five hundred million etherean deliverers on board, hath started on the road Salkwatka, swiftly bound to your* regions, to your* new plateau, Craoshivi.
- Send you word to Yima to come, and to Vishnu, and to Os, each to come in rank, attended by ten millions, grade above seventy, with es’enaurs, and marshals, and captains, and generals, to come to Craoshivi.
- And send you invitations to your* Diva to come, and to your* sub-Gods, and to your* Lord Gods, and to your* Lords, in all the divisions of heaven and the divisions of the earth; and to bring of their people all above grade fifty. And to your* marshals give you a list of all who will be with you* in Craoshivi on that day. And your* marshals should apportion and divide and arrange all your* hosts thus assembled in Craoshivi, according to grade, approaching thy throne in four lines, east and west and north and south, and your* throne should be the extreme east.
- And in the center of the cross should your* marshal provide space sufficient for the hosts of Cpenta-armij to land her airavagna, and to disembark. But at the extreme boundary of the lines of your* hosts you should draw a circle, and thither should thy light makers erect pillars of light, making the circle as a wall of light; and, as the diameter of the circle is to the distance down to the earth’s surface, so a tenth thereof should you make as the summit of the apex of the canopy of your* capital chamber, for the Holy Council of your* Goddess, Cpenta-armij.
- God said: Thy will be done, O Jehovih! And thereupon God sent word by his messengers, as commanded by the Great Spirit; sent invitations to all the Gods and Lords of heaven and earth, commanding them to come to Craoshivi.
- And the Lord Gods, and Gods and Lords, thus notified, appointed substitutes to rule in their places. And they made otevans, every one suitable to the number of angels he was to take with him, and they embarked and rose up from their several places in atmospherea and the earth, and, being guided in their courses by such experts as had learned the way, they came to Craoshivi, where they were received by the chief marshal of God and his officers, and allotted their several places, according to their respective grades. But as the plateau was above grade fifty in the earth’s vortex, so there were no angels of less grade than fifty amongst all the hosts assembled.
- And Jehovih commanded God to number the angels thus assembled in Craoshivi, and there were seven thousand millions, and nine hundred and seventy-five millions, and eight hundred thousand, officers and all.
- And the day and the hour of their assembling, when they were numbered, was the self same time that Cpenta-armij’s fire-ship arrived at Chinvat, when her light burst in full view to the hosts of God in Craoshivi. And they all beheld her coming; saw the manner in which a Chieftainess come to the lower heavens. And because of the great glory before them, they burst forth in a song of praise to Jehovih, the seven thousand millions.
- Jehovih spake to God, saying: Ascend your*** throne, My Son, and allot the Council and thy officers to their place, for quickly now, behold, My Daughter will descend. And when she come. My Voice will be with her for the years and the days of the dawn of dan.
- So God caused his Council and his marshal and his Diva to take their places and be in readiness for the emancipated Sons and Daughters. And presently the descending star grew brighter and larger, larger and brighter, till like a sun she shone abroad over all the plateau of Craoshivi.
- In awe stood the Gods at sight of the sublime spectacle; for the light of the airavagna was brilliant, and unlike all the lights of the lower heavens, and new to nearly all the people.
- Nearer and nearer descended the ship of light, till soon the music of her hosts descended down to those beneath, who, awe-stricken and buoyant with delight, burst forth, entranced with the glory thereof, singing, by the force of Jehovih’s light upon them, the same glorious anthem.
- And now the marshals spread the way, for close at hand came the airavagna, over the bows of which Cpenta-armij shone like a central sun, and with her, her visiting hosts, Owks and Ha-o-ha and See-wah-Gon; so, but for Cpenta-armij holding out her taper hand, the hosts below had hardly known which of the four great lights Jehovih had sent. Presently the curtains swept across the high pyramid of the capital, and then the transparent blankets and crystal frame-work; and now shot down the anchors, three hundred thousand; lower and lower, slowly came the mighty ship, till her screen-work, from which the anchors hung, touched the very floors of the capital; and, all radiant with holiness, before God and his hosts stood the ethereans, the glory of the most high heavens.
- The attendants then quickly spread the homa; the masters of arches opened the floor and sides of the airavagna, and there, seated or standing, was ready the central part of the etherean Council chamber, even as if the throne of God had been built for it. Then came forth the Chieftainess, Cpenta-armij, accompanied by Owks and Ha-o-ha and Seewa- Gon, and arriving before the throne stood, waiting for the salutation and the sign.
- God, still sitting on the throne, said: Daughter of Jehovih, Chieftainess of Haotsaiti, in the name of the Father! And hereupon he gave the sign ARC OF SPE探A.! Cpenta-armij and her three companions saluted in the SIGN OF THE CIRCUIT! Which was the highest compliment any God of the earth had ever received.
- Cpenta-armij said: By Jehovih’s command am I before you*, O God. In Love and Wisdom and Power am I come. Behold, My Voice is His Voice, Creator of Worlds!
- God said: My throne is founded in Jehovih’s name. Come you and honor it, and bring thy most high Gods and Goddesses with you*.
- They went forward then, and all the Gods and Goddesses, and Lords and Lordesses stood up, saluting by shaking hands; and then Cpenta-armij went and sat in the midst of the throne. Meanwhile, the es’enaurs chanted a hymn of thanksgiving.
- 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 you**** 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.
- Hereupon the multitude broke off from their places and stateliness, and commingled together joyfully. And all that were on the throne came down and went into the multitude, saluting and rejoicing.
CHAPTER IV.
OF THE BIRTH OF PO, ABRAM, BRAHMA AND EAWAHTAH.
- For two whole days Cpenta-armij left the people in recreation, but on the third she ascended the throne, and lo and behold, even in that same moment of time, a light spread abroad over all the place, so that the people comprehended indeed what was meant by Jehovih’s hand being upon them. And they all resumed their places, whereupon Jehovih spake through Cpenta-armij, saying:
- Whom I brought with Me from Haotsaiti should be My Council during dawn; but the portals should remain open on every side.
- Who are not of My Council are not bound unto these, My labors, and the same should go and come as they choose, remembering the call of their respective Gods.
- For know you* all, that whoever aspire to Me should come to Me; but the nearest way for many is round about. You* being above grade fifty are already more to Me and for Me than against Me or from Me, and in equal degree are cast upon your own responsibility. For such is the light of My kingdoms, from the first to the highest: To the child, no responsibility; to grade twenty-five, one quarter; to fifty, one-half; to seventy-five, three-quarters; but to the emancipated in My etherean realms, responsibility not only to self but to all who are beneath.
- Wherein My highest worlds are responsible for the lowest, being bound unto one another through Me for the resurrection of all.
- In this day am I come to deliver My Gods down to the earth, to walk on the earth with mortals, raising them up in My name.
- They who should be raised up in Me, even though still of the earth, should be holden alike responsible for all who are beneath them; for with My light and power before them, and doing in My name, they that are beneath them will hold them, not only on the earth, but in heaven, for their labors and words.
- The Voice departed, and then Cpenta-armij spake in her own behalf, saying: Once around earth and heaven will I now travel, seeing with mine own eyes and hearing with mine own ears, even as is commanded of me by the Father; that I may know of mine own knowledge the condition of mortals and of the spirits who dwell both with them and in the lowest heavens. He who is still your God should abide with you, and on this throne, until I return.
- Cpenta-armij then descended and sat at the foot of the throne, and Owks and Ha-o-ha and See-wah-Gon with her, whereupon God went down and took her hand, saying: Arise, O Goddess, and go your*** way. And then he raised up the other three in the same way, and they saluted and stood aside. Now, as soon as God raised them up, the All Light settled upon him, and he again ascended the throne, and sat in the midst. Then spake Cpenta-armij, saying to God:
- Jehovih hath commanded the raising of a voice in four divisions of the earth; what is thy light, O God? God said:
- In Jaffeth I have raised up a man named Po, an I’huan of the I’hin side, of grade ninety-five. In Arabin’ya I have raised up a man named Abram, an I’huan of the I’hin side, of grade ninety-five. In Vind’yu I have raised up a man named Brahma, an I’huan of the I’hin side, of grade ninety-nine. I Guatama I have raised up a man named Eawahtah, an I’huan of the I’hin side, of grade ninety-five.
- The loo’is who have accomplished this labor are still with their wards, but are apprised of your*** coming. Behold, I send with you* messengers who will answer thy commands.
- Hereupon, Cpenta-armij, with her hosts, departed, and entered an otevan which God had had previously prepared for her; and she took with her one million attendants, going straight down to the earth. And first of all to visit mortals and mortal kingdoms, kings and queens, temples and oracles, and then to see Po and Abram and Brahma and Eawahtah, all of whom were sufficiently illumined to see her and to know she was the Person of the All Voice.
- Next after these she visited all the heavenly kingdoms belonging to the earth, going first to the heavenly kingdom, belonging to Japan, thence to Ah’oan, of Jaffeth, thence to E’chad, and so on until she saw them all.
- After that Cpenta-armij returned to Craoshivi, making a circuit sufficient to examine all the plateaux below the belt meteoris.
- Now the whole time Cpenta-armij had been gone was thirty and two days. Whilst she had been absent, God extended the receiving grounds of Craoshivi twelve thousand miles in breadth toward the south, and founded sixty colonies. For even now were, and would be, for the four years to come, ships arriving daily with hundreds of thousands of angels who were being prepared for the degree of Brides and Bridegrooms to Jehovih, ready for the third resurrection.
- Messengers had arrived in Craoshivi daily from Cpenta-armij, so that God knew when she would return. And accordingly he had prepared all things in readiness, and she was received in the name of the Father, in due ceremony.
- And Cpenta-armij ascended the throne of God and sat in the midst, and a light like a sun settled around about her. Her companions, Gods and Goddesses, now sat not near her, though on the throne to the right and left. Whilst they were taking in their respective places, the es’enaurs were chanting anthems, and the awe and majesty of the scene were magnified to the utmost.
CHAPTER V.
- When the light fell upon Cpenta-armij, the Voice of Jehovih spake through her, saying:
- In you* whom I made God over the earth and her heavens I am well pleased; by My hand hast you raised them up; through you* have I maintained the Diva even unto this day.
- You should have honor in My exalted heavens because you art the first in Spe-ta;2 but you should crown your* glory by descending to the earth and walking with mortals for the term of four years, even with My Son, Brahma. And when your* time is completed, I will come and deliver you* and Brahma.
- In My name should you raise your* voice and establish Me amongst men; and I will be with you* in Wisdom and Power. Take your* attendants and proceed to your*** labor; in whatsoever you desirest of Me, call, and I will answer, for I have messengers who should labor between us.
- God then saluted, and withdrew. Next came Yima, and to him Jehovih spake, saying:
- Being one with God, you should labor even as he labor”’; and you should descend to the earth, even to My corporeal Son, Po, who hath been prepared in My name, and with him should you walk the earth four years. And you should speak in My name, establishing Me amongst mortals, to the end that My chosen should be delivered into My kingdoms. For you should lead them away from the mortal kings, and teach them to know Me as their only King.
- Take, then, your* attendants and go to your* labor, and at the end of four years I will appoint a successor to you, and I will deliver you into My etherean kingdoms.
- Yima then saluted and stood aside. Next came Vishnu, renowned for his labor in Vind’yu and her heavens. To him Jehovih said:
- Being one with God, you should with him fulfill the completion of Spe-ta in My name. To which end you should descend to the corporeal earth, even Arabin’ya, and dwell thereon for the period of four years, with My corporeal Son, Abram. With Abram should you walk and sojourn day and night, speaking and laboring in Me as fully as My very Self. And you should deliver My chosen away from the kings’ peoples, teaching them to have no king but Me, their Creator. To Abram should you reveal My name, JEHOVIH, and establish it in secret, with due rites and ceremonies. And at the end of four years will I appoint a successor to you; and you will I deliver into My emancipated worlds. Take, then, thy attendants and depart to your*** labor, and I will be with you* in wisdom and power. Vishnu then saluted and stood aside.
- Next came Os, sent by the etherean regions of Haot-saiti to deliver the kingdoms of Japan and Heleste and their heavens, but who was now relieved by the Divan successor. To Os Jehovih spake, saying:
- In honor of your*** volunteering in the days of darkness for the relief of God and his kingdoms, I now create you* God of the first Spe-ta of the red star, and crown you* with Mine Own hand.
- And, lo and behold, even with these spoken words, a light descended in the form of a crown and settled upon his head. Thereupon Jehovih said: In which I have made you* a lawful Div with corporeal power.
- And you should descend to the corporeal earth, even to Guatama, and walk with My Son, Eawahtah, whom the loo’is have bred for My Voice, for the term of four years, sojourning with him day and night, gathering together the remnants of My lost tribes, and establishing them in faith of the Great Spirit, in My name, Egoquim, suitable to the utterance I have created them.
- And at the end of four years I will appoint a successor to thee; and you* I will restore into My etherean worlds. Take, then, your* attendants and depart to your* labor, and I will be with you* in wisdom and power.
- Then Os saluted and stood aside, and the Voice departed; then Cpenta-armij, on her own account, said: This hour, even now, I dissolve the Diva with honor and glory unto them. The kingdoms you**** ruled over should be my kingdoms during dawn; in the Father’s name I assume them and their affairs. Peace and love and wisdom and power be with you all, amen.
- The four inspiring Gods then departed, and in the outer circuit of Craoshivi they had in waiting, which their attendants had prepared beforehand, each one an otevan fully equipped and ready, into which they embarked, with their attendants, fifty thousand each. The musicians then saluted them, even as they moved off, severally, in direct lines for the earth.
- Cpenta-armij then lowered the light a little, and her three visiting companions, Owks, Ha-o-ha and See-wah-Gon, sat near her on the throne, even before her etherean Council, five hundred millions.
- Cpenta-armij said: I have visited the earth and her heavens, even her heavens on her very surface. By the power vested in me, I relieve from duty all Lords and Gods, and sub- Gods, and sub-Lords, on the earth and in the heavens of the earth. This my messengers will communicate to them, commanding them, in my love and wisdom, which are one with the Father, to come at once to Craoshivi, that I may honor them and apportion them for the third resurrection, which will occur in four years.
- To the Lord-dom, Maitraias, founded by Vishnu, I appoint and allot Yugsaesu Lord, with thirty millions of my etherean hosts, to be chosen by himself. Let Yugsaesu come before me! Yugsaesu then came before Jehovih’s throne, and Cpenta-armij said unto him: Repair you unto Maitraias, taking your* hosts with you. And when you are come to the place, possess it in Jehovih’s name, and order it after the manner of a Lord-dom, providing sub-kingdoms unto your place as may be required.
- And you should have dominion over all angels that are already with the plateau of Maitraias, or such as may be hereafter sent to you* from the other heavenly divisions and from the earth. And you should provide your*** kingdom unto the service of the Father, chiefly to prevent angels returning to the earth to obsess and pollute mortals. For you should find hundreds of millions of them who have no aspiration but destruction. Many of them were slain in wars on the earth, and are still seeking vengeance, and if escaping to the earth, obsess mortals to burn cities, and to murder, and to all manner of wickedness.
- Thy labor, O Lord, is not to reform them or teach them, for I should appoint and allot others to that end; but you should labor wholly and entirely to prevent the return of Maitraisans to mortals. And that you should be strong before them, you should draw from all other heavenly kingdoms, which I should found, a sufficient guard to enforce my commandments.
- For four years should you labor in this matter, and you should also raise up one with thy Lord-dom, to be your* successor after you. Take, then, your hosts and go to your*** labors, and the Father will be with you* in wisdom and power.
- Yugsaesu then made his selections from Cpenta-armij’s hosts, and they came and passed before Jehovih’s throne, saluting, and then withdrew and went into a ship which had, likewise, been prepared for them by the proper persons, whose labor lies in that matter; and, having saluted with music, they departed, Yugaesu and his hosts, rejoicing.
- Again Cpenta-armij spake, saying: Behold, the time is now come upon the earth when I will divide and allot unto each of its several great divisions heavenly kingdoms accordingly.
- To Japan, because she is a remnant of the submerged continent, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called SUASU.
- To Jaffeth, because she has preserved much of the first language, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called HI-JEE-TSE.
- To Vind’yu, because she is the most advanced in holiness of all the earth, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called VRI-MIJ.
- To Arabin’ya, because she is the foundation of Jehovih’s migratory hosts who should go forth around the earth, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called PARADISE.
- To Heleste, because she was rescued from darkness by Os in time to meet this arc, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called SPE-TA.
- To Uropa, because she was first founded by a woman, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called HIMMEL.
- To South Guatama, because she is the least inhabited of all the great divisions of the earth, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called AHDEN.
- To North Guatama, because she is the ground on which the circumscribing of the earth by the different nations should take place, where the revelations of heaven and earth should be made to man, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called KOSMON.
- To all the South Islands, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called FLUE.
- To all the North Islands, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it should be called SIN-YOT.
- Hereupon the light of Jehovih overspread Cpenta-armij, and His voice spake through her, saying: To My ten heavenly kingdoms which I have made through My Daughter, behold, I choose ten Lords, and My ten Lords should go to the kingdoms I apportion unto them. In My name should My Lords build unto Me ten heavenly places of delight, for the spirits of the dead that rise up from the earth.
- And My Lords should establish in My kingdoms places of learning and places of labor; places for the sick and helpless angels that arise up from the earth, that My Lords should raise them up, to know Me and the glory of the worlds I have created for them; inspiring them to perfect themselves in wisdom and purity and power, that they may arise and inherit My etherean heavens.
- And My Lords should appoint ashars unto mortals at the time of their corporeal birth; and the said ashars should be appointed in watch and watch, that they may relieve one another, having a time of labor and a time of rest. And My Lords should so appoint My ashars that each and every ashar should have a hundred changes of labor with a hundred different mortals, in order to learn all the varieties of men and women I have created. And the number of ashars should be equal to the number of mortals dwelling on the earth.
- And My Lords should appoint asaphs to reside in heaven, sufficient in number to receive the spirits of all who die on the earth, which they should receive from the ashars in My name. And the asaphs should take such angels, thus received, and place them in the regions My Lords should have prepared for them, where there should be sufficient of teachers and nurses and physicians in My heavenly places to administer unto them.
- And My Lords should provide discipline to the spirits thus received, who should be trained according to the Divan law which I established through My Gods, which should extend beyond the es’yan even to the thirtieth grade.
- And My Lords should provide for them that have attained to the thirtieth grade to be sent in suitable ships to this place, Craoshivi, and deliver them to My daughter, Cpenta-armij, and to her successor, God or Goddess, who should have dominion over the whole earth and her heavens.
- For behold, it is the nature of man on the earth to go after earthly things instead of heavenly; and it is the nature of the es’yan to strive for the earth instead of My higher heavens. Be you**** guarded, therefore, to lay a foundation to prevent angels and mortals from going downward; to provide inspiration to make them desire to ascend to My holy regions.
- The Voice now departed, and Cpenta-armij spake on her own account in Jehovih’s name, saying:
- Whosoever I call, let them come before Jehovih’s throne, for they should be the Lords whom I should anoint for the heavenly kingdoms I have established:
- Le-tzoo, Lord of Suasu, a heavenly place over Japan.
- Oe-wah, Lord of Hi-jee-tse, a heavenly place over Jaffeth.
- Loo-gam, Lord of Vri-mij, a heavenly place over Vind’yu.
- Ha-kappa, Lord of Paradise, a heavenly place over Arabin’ya.
- Jes-Sie, Lordess of Spe-ta, a heavenly place over Heleste.
- Yo-han, Lord of Himmel, a heavenly place over Uropa.
- Hinot-tse, Lordess of Ahden, a heavenly place over South Guatama.
- Ami, Lordess of Kosmon, a heavenly place over North Guatama.
- Horam, Lord of Flue, a heavenly place over the Southern Islands.
- Puetse, Lordess of Sin-Yot, a heavenly place over the Northern Islands.
- All the angels named came before Cpenta-armij when called, and they now stood abreast Jehovih’s throne, whereupon the All Light overspread the place, and the Father’s Voice spake through Cpenta’armij, saying:
- You* are My Lords and Lordesses, by Me raised up and allotted your places. For four years should you* labor, even to the end of this dawn; and you**** should provide successors to take your places after you. And herein lies your greatest glory and Mine. For they that succeed you should hold dominion two hundred years. And they in turn should provide successors after them, and so on, for these successions should continue till the arc of Bon.
- With Mine own hand weave I crowns, and crown you severally for my kingdoms!
- When these words were spoken, the now fast gathering light, of a variety of colors, took the shape of ten separate crowns, and descended on the heads of the Lords and Lordesses. The Voice ceased, but Cpenta-armij spake on her own account, in Jehovih’s name, saying:
- My Lords and Lordesses, go to your labors in the love, wisdom and power of the Father, and He will be with you; and you* should be a glory in His kingdoms. Choose you, therefore, each and every one ten millions of my hosts, who should go with you to your places, to be afterward exchanged or divided, as I may direct. That you*** may choose in order, he who was first appointed should choose first; the second next, and so on until ye have your chosen.
- All these Lords and Lordesses were of the Higher Light, and knew beforehand, and had in like manner already chosen their attendants, so that at a given signal the multitudes thus chosen rose up and came before the throne, forming ten groups of ten millions each. And they at once formed in line and passed before Jehovih’s throne, saluting in the sign, BIRTH OF SPE-TA ON THE EARTH, and Cpenta-Armij answered in the sign, JEHOVIH AND THE LOWER HEAVENS.
- Cpenta-armij said: For the glory of this scene, I bequeath a day of rest, that my hosts may witness the departure of the fleets of Jehovih’s Lords and Lordesses. At once the hosts joined in a mighty chorus of thanksgiving and praise; and they went without and saw the ships laden with the joyous crews; saw them set their great fleet in motion; sang and shouted to them in Jehovih’s love, for the glory of His high heavens.
2 This evidently means he was the first God who maintained Jehovih’s light all around the earth during a cycle.
CHAPTER VI.
- In the beginning of the second year of Cpenta-armij in Craoshivi, messengers came before Jehovih’s throne, saluting, and greeting from Ctusk, who now lived under the name, Ahura, and submitted the following communication, to wit:
- Ctusk, who hath become Ahura, a servant of Jehovih, and is now God of Ailkin by just judgment of Jehovih, desire audience with the Most High-Raised Cpenta-armij, Daughter of the Great Spirit.
- To this Cpenta-armij answered: Greeting, in love to my brother, Ahura. By the Grace and Power of Jehovih, come and see me, bringing your*** attendants. Now, after the lapse of a few days, Ahura came to Craoshivi, attended by one million, escorted by music, and proclaimed according to the discipline of the higher heavens, with heralds and trumpeters. And Cpenta-armij’s hosts received Ahura and conducted him and his hosts within the capital chamber; and Ahura went before Jehovih’s throne, saluting on the sign, SECOND PLATEAU, and Cpenta-armij answered in NIRVANIAN ROAD, SALKWATKA. She said:
- In the name of the Great Spirit, Whose Daughter I am, I welcome you* in love and high esteem. I know all your*** past record, and do look upon you* as the foundation of one of Jehovih’s brightest suns. Long have I desired that you shouldst petition to come to see me; and much desired I to see you* and greet you* in the Father’s name.
- Ahura said: O you Most High Chieftainess, of hundreds of thousands of years, how can I stand before you? I know you hast seen many truants in thy day, and watched their course thousands of years. You can see before me all that await”’ me and mine; the past and the future are as an open book before you. That I have stood before you* and looked upon you*, I am blessed above all things since the day of my birth.
- Behold, the hand of the Great Spirit hath appeared before me; I comprehend the only road that lead on to everlasting resurrections; I know that the ONE ALL PERSON must ever stand as the key-note for angels and mortals. Without Him, a man is as a ship without a rudder; the seas around about him drive him to ruin in the end. Blessed is he who hath had the experience of this in an early day of his life. Nervous and full of fear is he who hath been tried two thousand years!
- Then spake Cpenta-armij, saying: I perceive your* desires, O Ahura! I understand why you are before me. Thy wisdom is great indeed. You perceivest that your* plateau is in the second removal from the earth. You fearest that some of your* hosts will forsake Jehovih, and usurp kingdoms of their own, even as you didst in time past. You desirest me to raise your* plateau farther away from the corporeal earth.
- Ahura said: If it be Jehovih’s will, even for this purpose am I come before you*!
- Now came a great light, bright, like a sun, and settled over the throne, enveloping the Goddess, Cpenta-armij, and Jehovih’s Voice spake out of the light to Ahura, saying:
- My Son, My Son, why hast you so little faith! Behold, I am with you* even as with this, My Daughter. All you lackest is faith. Go you back to thy plateau and raise thou it thyself. My Daughter should come to you, and show you, and you should not fail. To have faith in Me is to be one with Me; to lack faith in Me is to be far removed from Me.
- Ahura said: O Jehovih, teach You me how to begin to have faith. To find the beginning, there is my stumbling block!
- Jehovih said: By trying Me, there is the beginning. By learning to know your** own power in Me; and to know My power in you*; this is the sum of all power and wisdom. By the lack of faith in Me, man set 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, come the constant manifestation of power through faith, the example of which hold the multitude to Me and My works.
- Inasmuch as you hast suffered fear in your* soul for a relapse in your* kingdom, you hast opened the door for disaster. Have I not proved this on earth? –wherein the faith of a captain lead his soldiers on a victory, and his lack of faith break”’ them down in weakness. Think not, O Ahura, that My examples are less with My Gods.
- If, therefore, My Daughter should come to your* kingdom and raise it up, behold, she would lessen your* hosts’ faith in you. For which reason you should return to Ailkin, and proclaim to your people that you wilt raise your* plateau. And though millions of them will consider it vanity, and beyond your*** power, behold, I will provide unto you* that you should not fail.
- Ahura said: I perceive Thy Wisdom, O Jehovih! That which You hast put upon me, I know I should accomplish through You. The Voice departed, and Cpenta-armij spake on her own account, saying: You should proclaim a day for this great work; and you should send invitations to me and my hosts, and to my Gods and Lords, Goddesses and Lordesses. Send you, therefore, your surveyors and inspectors, and determine whither thou wouldst raise your* plateau, and you should be provided from my hosts whatever assistance you mayst need.
- Ahura then saluted, and he and his hosts departed without the capital chamber, where they rested awhile in recreation with the etherean hosts, and then they entered their ship and departed, and returned to Ailkin. After which Ahura appointed the day for the resurrection, and sent messengers throughout atmospherea, proclaiming what he would do, inviting Gods and Lords, with their attendants, to come and spend the day with him.
- Jehovih spake to Cpenta-armij, saying: Send you your* mathematicians to estimate the grade of Ahura’s plateau; and send your* surveyors to the place he hath chosen, that thy hosts may know the power required; and provide you from your** own hosts, privily, suitable stationers that Ahura should not fail. For, in time to come, Ahura should be one of My greatest of Gods.
CHAPTER VII.
- Ahura immediately on his return to his kingdom set about accomplishing this great labor.
- Now there were with Ahura many who had been sub-Gods and were captains and generals under him whilst he was in rebellion against Jehovih and His kingdoms; and when they heard of the proclamation they said within their souls: What, is it possible Ahura is at his old games? For they knew not his concert with the kingdoms above, and so believed not in his power.
- Jehovih moved upon Ahura, and induced him to send numerators and graders throughout his kingdom, to take the measure of those who had faith, and of those who had no faith; and of those who had neither faith nor non-faith. And these Ahura graded and numbered, so when the time came he should know where to place them. Then he numbered the unlearned and dumb; and then the enthusiastic; and he graded them and arranged them also.
- When he had this much accomplished, there came to him one Anuhasaj, a former sub-God, and he said to Ahura, privily: I love you, Ahura, and for that reason come before you. You should meet only failure and disaster in your* undertaking. How many times, in your* mighty kingdom of Ctusk, didst the All High fail to come to you*?
- Ahura said: Because of your* love I rejoice in you; but because of your lack in faith I deplore you*. How long will it be before angels and mortals understand the Father and His kingdoms? Behold, in the days of Ctusk I labored not for Jehovih, but for myself and my exaltation, and for the exaltation of my kingdom for mine own ends. Hence the All High came not to answer my prayers. Now, in this matter, I am doing that which is not for me, nor for my kingdom for mine own sake, but for the Father’s sake only. And I know He will not fail me.
- Anuhasaj said: Hath it not been from the time of the ancients till now, that certain ones say that by prayer and faith all things are possible, assuring us, moreover, that by such are all things accomplished in earth and in heaven? And yet, who hath not witnessed more failure than success? I do not desire to discourage you, O Ahura, but I know so well the lack of faith on the part of all men, and that to get one’s self weaned away from self is the weakest talent in the soul. And, for which reason, too, it is ultimately the greatest glory. But this would seem to me expedient: To have Cpenta-armij and her hosts do this resurrection for you.
- Ahura said: Even your** every thought have I already fulfilled. And through the Chieftainess came the Father’s Voice, commanding me to do this resurrection on mine own account.
- To this Anuhasaj made no reply, but in his soul he was not free from the tetracts, being jealous that Ahura had advanced him in obtaining the Father’s commands. But Ahura perceived it not, and he said unto Anuhasaj: The hosts of Ailkin have been numbered, and there are four thousand millions and five hundred millions. And within the grades above es’yan there are one hundred and seventy thousand schools, two hundred and thirty thousand colleges, four hundred thousand factories, and two hundred thousand hospitals.
- Behold, on the day of resurrection I should have the Han-od-wotcha recreation for my hosts. Let this, then, be your* labor, to have the matter proclaimed throughout Ailkin. Anuhasaj said: By Jehovih’s leave and your, I am satisfied.
- Thus ended the matter, and Ahura remembered afterward, that Anuhasaj had not answered positive acceptance, and so Ahura feared, and, to make doubly sure, called Evasan, and committed the same charge to him.
- Now when the time came, lo and behold, Anuhasaj fulfilled not his part, but Evasan did; and Evasan, moreover, came to Ahura, bringing answers from all the departments.
- In the morning of the day of the resurrection, Ahura sent for Anuhasaj and inquired concerning the matter. Anuhasaj said: Nay, I issued not your*** proclamation nor thy invitation; for I reasoned on the matter, saying to myself: If the resurrection be a failure, then would it indeed be better that the ignorant know not of it.
- Ahura said: To do well one’s own part; is this not the highest? Anuhasaj said: It is the highest. Even so have I done that which seemed the highest in mine own sight.
- Ahura said: The resurrection was not for you* nor for me, but for the hosts. For you hadst previously admitted that the resurrection of this plateau was the highest, best thing to be done. Because it seemed impracticable in your* sight, you wert not justified in withholding your* hand. You shouldst have striven to accomplish that which was for the universal good, not even whispering your* distrust to any one. Then, had it failed, your own soul had been clear. For which reason Jehovih came to me, and I was so admonished to depute Evasan in your*** stead, and he hath fulfilled my commands.
- Anuhasaj made no reply, but went away in displeasure, and for the present the matter was dismissed.
- Ahura had sent invitations to the Lords of all the divisions of the earth, asking them to come, bringing their attendants with them. Of these the following came, to wit: Oe-wah, Lord of Hi-jee-tse; Ha-kappa, Lord of Paradise; Loo-gam, Lord of Vri-mij; Jes-Sie, Lordess of Spe-ta; Ami, Lordess of Kosmon; Horam, Lord of Flue; and Puetse, Lordess of Sin-Yot, each bringing one million attendants, besides hundred of thousands of visitors of lower grade.
- Cpenta-armij, with her visitors, Owks, and See-wah-Gon, and Ha-o-ha, and five million attendants, and five and thirty million visitors, from Craoshivi, came in an avalanza made for the purpose.
- The place of removal which Ahura had decided to inherit was in the second belt below meteoris, known in atmospherea at that time as Vara-pishanaha, which laid between the land of Vind’yu and the star-region known as the HORSE AND COW AND CALF PASTURES, a heavenly place, uninhabited. From Ailkin to Vara-pishanaha was fourteen hours in grade twenty-five, which was the average of Ahura’s hosts; but its enlargement in the upper belt would be as fifteen to nine.
- Cpenta-armij and her hosts were the first to arrive in Ahura’s dominion; for she had determined that nothing should lead to failure in Ahura’s enterprise. Through her advice Ahura stationed water-bearers the entire distance of travel, lest, in the excitement, the drujas might run into knots or riot. For such is the nature of darkness, both on earth and in the lower heavens: the low delight to dwell in a city, or near a place of filth, if companionable, rather than go to a place of isolation where improvement is possible.
- Jehovih had said to Ahura: Suffer not your* drujas to know you wilt remove them so far from the earth; confide you only with the wise in reference to your* destiny. Cpenta-armij had said to Ahura: Provide your*** drujas a holiday in parade, with rites and ceremonies. And Ahura perceived how the matter had to be, and he apportioned eighty millions of his hosts to provide parades, rites and ceremonies for the drujas of his hosts, and of these drujas, ranking below grade five, there were one thousand millions and two hundred millions, being such angels as knew not the left hand from the right, nor could remember to count five from one day to the next. And yet the next thousand million, rating below grade twelve, knew so little more, they were scarcely wiser than beasts in the field.
- Cpenta-armij, seeing these, exclaimed: O Jehovih, how long must Ahura labor with these in order to raise them to grade ninety-nine! O that they who set themselves up as Gods knew what lay before them! O that leaders of men knew! O that mortal kings and queens knew the bondage that they lay down for themselves! What a work in the lower heavens for them before they can ascend! And yet, O Jehovih, You are just. Some one must labor with these unfortunates. It is well that man aspire to be king, and Lord and God.
CHAPTER VIII.
- When they were assembled for the resurrection, the thousands of millions, Cpenta-armij went and stood at the right hand of Ahura, and next to her stood Owks; and on the left hand stood See-wah-Gon and Ha-o-ha, and the Voice of Jehovih fell upon Ahura, saying: Extend My lines to the four corners of the world; give into My labor the highest grades.
- Accordingly, the marshals drew the line on the plateau, and the hosts of etherea stood equally toward every corner, arranged in phalanxes of ten millions each; each having the form of a quarter of a circle; leaving the lines of power from center to circumference, and the distance thereof was equal to the width of Vind’yu on the corporeal earth. And the center of the plateau was high raised, so that Ahura stood on the highest place, which laid near the CAPITAL OF THE COUNCIL.
- Now it so happened that the jealous Anuhasaj stood twelfth on the east line, being the thirteenth from Ahura’s left hand. Cpenta-armij said to Ahura: Behold, the line is shattered. Ahura said: I feel nothing; how sayest You, The line is shattered? She answered him, saying: He who do Jehovih’s work must deal as Jehovih deal”’. Only those who are in concert with you* must labor with you. Otherwise your** best endeavors will be thwarted. Ahura said:
- O you far-perceiving Goddess! In my much love and sympathy I admitted Anuhasaj to the lines. He hath been my best friend. Cpenta-armij said: You should know but One Friend, Jehovih.
- Ahura perceived, and he now felt the shattered place, and he sent his chief marshal to Anuhasaj to bring him from the rank. And when Anuhasaj was before Ahura, the latter said unto him: Because you servest thyself, you should not stand in line; behold, there is but ONE to serve, even Jehovih. Anuhasaj said: A joy upon you* and your*** scheme. Because you are powerless, you hast singled me out as an excuse before these Gods and Goddesses!
- Ahura made no answer, but spake before Jehovih, saying: Give me strength for Thy Children’s sake, O Father! Behold, I have cut loose the foundations of Ailkin; with high-extending cords I have bound her to Vara-pishanaha. By virtue of Thy power in me I will raise her up. In Thy name, let my hosts in will command: ARISE! UPWARD! ONWARD! O AILKIN! ARISE, UPWARD, ONWARD, O AILKIN! ARISE, UPWARDS, ONWARD, O AILKIN!
- With the third enunciation, which came from the thousands of millions in concert, behold, the plateau moved from her foundation; turned a little, then slowly, upward arose. Loud shouted all the inhabitants of that heaven; with their own universal will the Great Spirit stretched forth His hand and raised up the heavenly continent. Even as with His hand He touch”’ a corporeal continent and send it beneath the ocean, so raiseth He His heavenly places toward His emancipated worlds. Yea, because of His Spirit upon His people, they desire it risen; with them and Him, ALL IS ONE.
- And now, the Gods, with unbroken will, held their places as it were a day for the corporeal earth, and not a God or Goddess from the single purpose in thought strayed a moment of time and no distracting thought intervening; for such is the will and mastery of Gods over their own thoughts. Even then, to keep up the concerted force joyously, those who had the drujas in charge sat the games and tournaments going, with racing and music, such as should leave not one idle moment for all the hosts of Ailkin, nearly five thousand millions.
- Upward and onward rose the great plateau, making straight course for Vara-pishanaha. Ahura stood in the eyes of the unlearned populace as the greatest and most masterly of all the Gods. One alone, even Anuhasaj, stood a while transfixed with disappointment and chagrin, even hoping some mishap to Jehovih’s proceedings. And finally, he went wandering about, sore and out of sorts with all righteousness.
- Thus was raised the heavenly place, and no longer called Ailkin, but Vara-pishanaha, home of Ahura and his hosts. And now, when they were securely established in the place, and the Gods and Goddesses broke from line, they all came greeting to Ahura. And, even in the same moment of time, a messenger came from God, who was with Brahma on the corporeal earth, bringing to Cpenta-armij the following commandment, by proxy, to wit:
- In Jehovih’s name, give you a throne and crown to Ahura for Me, and in My name. I promised him thus!
- The light came upon Cpenta-armij, and Jehovih spake through her, saying: Behold the work of My hand, O Ahura, My Son! In the substance of heaven fashion I you* a throne and high-raised capital. And with Mine own hands weave you* a crown. From this time forth you should be My God, and I will abide with you*.
- Whilst the words were being spoken, the throne rose up before Cpenta-armij’s hand, and a high-raised capital came and stood over and about the throne. And there descended from the heavens above bows of light and color, which in Cpenta-armij’s fingers were shaped and woven into a crown which alighted on Ahura’s head. And there went up from the hosts a universal shout of praise and thanksgiving. Then broke in the trumpeters, seven millions, and after they prayed a while, the es’enaurs chanted, THE CONCERTED HOSTS OF JEHOVIH.!
- Thus was founded Jehovih’s heavenly kingdom, Vara-pishanaha; thus established Ahura his dominions where rebellion and secession were cut off forever. And Cpenta-armij gave to Ahura a thousand messengers, and opened a roadway to Craoshivi. Ahura ascended his throne, and the Gods and Goddesses saluted him, GOD OF VARA-PISHANAHA, and they and their attendants departed to their several places.
CHAPTER IX.
- In the third year of dawn Jehovih spake to Cpenta-armij, saying: Gather together the officers of your* traveling hosts, and take with you* your* companions, and go visit all the Lords and Lordesses of the earth, of your*** appointing. And let thy recorders make their accounts of the affairs of the earth and her heavenly kingdoms, that they may be taken to, and entered in, the libraries of the Nirvanian kingdoms.
- Also should you set your* collectors of Brides and Bridegrooms to work in Craoshivi; and give to your* collectors otevans, that they may also visit your*** Lords’ kingdoms and collect all the angels prepared for the next resurrection, and bring them to Craoshivi, where they should be classified. For in the coming resurrection you should provide twelve avalanzas, and those who are raised to the etherean heavens you should cause to be divided according to their grade and rate, and have them delivered into regions suitable to their advancement.
- During the time prior to this, the Lords had contributed largely to Craoshivi, and already there were upward of twenty thousand million angels capable of taking the third resurrection. The departure of Cpenta-armij on this visit was important, for it involved the selection of the next succeeding God of earth and heaven, who should sit on the throne during her absence. At this time, the reigning God was with Brahma on the earth. To him Cpenta-armij sent messengers, acquainting him with the commandments of Jehovih.
- God answered through his messengers, saying: Greeting, in the name of Jehovih, to Cpenta-armij, His Daughter, Chieftainess! The reigning God depute you*, O Goddess, to make the selection in his stead, to be crowned at the termination of dawn. And now, accordingly, Cpenta-armij sent forth her examiners, to search after the highest, best, most learned of all that had been raised up of the earth, capable of the God-head. For sixty days her examiners were at work, and on the sixtieth day, in the evening, they had completed the search. And it fell upon Thale of Peola, of corporeal birth, five thousand years.
- Thale, a tiller of the soil in corpor, born in spirit in Yueson, ninety years; five years in es’yan; thirty years in factories; in the nurseries, ninety years; in the colleges, one hundred and eighty years; projector, seventy years; surveyor, sixty-five years; measurer, two hundred years; entered an etherean airavagna, and traveled seven hundred years; returned to the lower heavens of the earth and was Lord in six successions for each of the chief earth divisions twelve hundred years; was called by Onavissa, Goddess of Ni-ya-ag-ag-ha to clear the roads of Chenshaya, beyond Chinvat, where he labored six hundred years. Returned again to the earth and her heavens, and served as captain and general four hundred years; served as marshal seven hundred years, under four different Gods and Lords; and the balance of the time traveled as messenger and swift messenger. Of the rates in a thousand, he was nine hundred and ninety-nine. And he knew the whole earth and her capabilities; could read a thousand million voices at the same time, and interpret them and answer them, and had even created plateaux. He knew the atmospherean heavens, habitable and uninhabitable; the roadways; the oceans and nebulous regions; knew the ascending and descending ethe; knew the power in the different rings of the earth’s vortex; knew the c-vork-um, and its times and places.
- Cpenta-armij sent a delegation of one million angels to wait on Thale and bring him before the throne at Craoshivi, sending them in their private otevan, and under the guardianship of her chief marshal, with this commandment:
- Thale, of Peola, greeting to you*, in the name of Jehovih, Who command thy immediate presence at the throne in Craoshivi. Of all the honored in these heavens, thou standest first on the list, and are appointed by our Father the next succeeding God, through His Daughter, Chieftainess of Haotsaiti. In my stead you should sit on the throne whilst I complete my labor in dawn; after which you should be crowned, of the earth and her heavens, Jehovih’s God!
- Cpenta-armij knew Thale, for he had sojourned in Otsias, in etherea, three hundred years, where she had been Surveyor ten thousand years. So when he came before Jehovih’s throne, Cpenta-armij was rejoiced to meet him in person; nevertheless, she first saluted in rank, saying:
- My brother, welcome in the Father’s name, and joy be unto thee. Jehovih hath called thee to this throne; you should be one of the pillars of His everlasting temples. What I put upon you* in the Father’s name, you should consider from Him.
- Thale said: Before You*, O Jehovih, I bow to Thy decrees, which come through Thy High-Raised Daughter, Chieftainess of Haot-saiti. I accept whatsoever is given me to do, that will raise up man to rejoice in his creation. By virtue of Thy power in me, O Jehovih, I know I should not fail. May Thy Light be upon me!
- Cpenta-armij now raised the light to the highest atmospherean grade, and said unto Thale: Approach Jehovih’s throne, O my brother, and hold up thy hands toward High Noon, as the symbol of the highest light, for as the sun is to the earth and atmospherea, so is Jehovih to the soul of man and to the etherean worlds.
- Thale stepped on the foot of the throne, and the marshal stood at his side. The whole Council were seated, and sweet music rose from the es’enaurs, and added to the solemn scene. Thale then faced the place of High Noon in the temple and held up his hands, saying: I am in Thy Will, O Father!
- Jehovih spake in the light over Cpenta-armij’s head, saying: Thale, My Son, You art My God, and you should have dominion over the earth and her heavens for two hundred years. Whatsoever you should do should be of Me and My doing. Thy word should be My word; your*** labor My labor. And you should have Lords and kingdoms, and all manner of heavenly places; and all of them should be My places through thee.
- And at the expiration of your*** service, you should raise up a successor to you, who should be worthy of you and Me. And he should likewise have dominion in Me and in My places; and likewise raise up a successor to come after him, and so on until the next dawn of dan. Be you joyful in dominion; My worlds are places of delight, and mirth, and peace, and love, and righteousness, and good works.
- The Voice ceased, and then Cpenta-Armij spake on her own account, saying: He who will crown you* will come at the end of dawn; till then you should hold dominion in the RED HAT in remembrance of the FEAST OF THE LIONS. Approach the Judgment Seat, my brother, and I will give to you* in Jehovih’s name. With that, Cpenta-armij gathered from the colored rays of light a substance light as ethe, and made a red hat and put it on Thale’s head, saying: Sit on the throne in remembrance of the FEAST OF THE LIONS, that I may be honored of you*, and rejoice before my hosts.
- Thale then sat down on the throne, and the Council proclaimed in the sign, LION�S DEATH! Thale answered in the sign, DOMINION OF THE LAMB! Thereupon Cpenta-armij said: Council of Jehovih, hear my voice. A new God have I raised up unto my labor. And thou, O God, hear my voice. A new dominion have I given into your*** keeping.
- For one year I should now visit my Lords and Lordesses in the first plateaux of the earth, for it is a part of my labor for the Father. And when I should have finished with them, I should return to my present reigning God of the earth, who is with Brahma, and I will deliver him and Brahma, and return again to this kingdom, whence the etherean resurrection will take place.
- Provide you* accordingly in all things, even as I would were I here; and number the Brides and Bridegrooms one hundred and sixty days in advance, and send swift messengers to etherea, to the Nirvanian fields and forests in Chan-us-hoag, and thence through Salkwatka to Haot-saiti, in the etherean Abarom, finding six regions, suitable for grades from sixty to ninety. And you* should send greeting to my sister, Chue-in-ista, Goddess of Oambuyu, asking her to deliver us.
- Thus saying, Cpenta-armij, and Owks, and See-wah-Gon, and Ha-o-ha took leave, and in their own proper way departed out of Craoshivi, and in the airavagna descended to the lowest plateau, and so visited the Lords of the lower kingdoms.
