The transfer of dominion from one Age to another is an important event in the world of Cherubim and Seraphim.
I saw the four and twenty Cherubim and Seraphim that guard 'the circle of the sun, the mighty ones who were proclaimed by masters long ago 'the four and twenty ancient ones.'
"I heard the names of every Cherubim and Seraphim, and learned that every sign in all the Zodiac is ruled by two--a Cherubim and Seraphim.
"I saw the guardian Spirits of the Piscean Age; Ramasa is the Cherubim; Vacabiel is Seraphim.
"I saw the guardian Spirits of the Aquarian Age, and Archer is the Cherubim; Sakmaquil is the Seraphim.
"I heard the history of the Piscean Age from Piscean Cherubim and Seraphim, and when I took my pen to write Ramasa said:
"And then I beard the Aquarian Cherubim and Seraphim proclaim the Gospel of the coming Age, the age of Wisdom, of the Son of Man.
"Through Christ, the protoplast, the earth, the plant, the beast, the man, the angel and the cherubim took up their stations on their planes of life.
"Into the soil of every plane these seeds, which were the Thoughts of God, were cast-the seeds of protoplast, of earth, of plant, of beast, of man, of angel and of cherubim, and they who sowed the seeds, through Christ, ordained that they should grow, and should return at last, by effort of unnumbered years, to the great granary of thought, and each be a perfection of its kind.
"Hear, now, ye cherubim, ye seraphim, ye angels and ye men!
"Yea, he must suffer trials and temptations manifold; but let him know that cherubim and seraphim that rule the stations of the sun, and spirits of the mighty God who rule the solar stars are his protectors and his guides, and they will lead to victory.
(The Hebrews call these seven Spirits, Elohim.)21. And these are they who, in their boundless power, created everything that is, or was.22. These Spirits of the Triune God moved on the face of boundless space and seven ethers were, and every ether had its form of life.23. These forms of life were but the thoughts of God, clothed in the substance of their ether planes.24. (Men call these ether planes the planes of protoplast, of earth, of plant, of beast, of man, of angel and of cherubim.)25. These planes with all their teeming thoughts of God, are never seen by eyes of man in flesh; they are composed of substance far too fine for fleshy eyes to see, and still they constitute the soul of things;26. And with the eyes of soul all creatures see these ether planes, and all forms of life.27. Because all forms of life on every plane are thoughts of God, all creatures think, and every creature is possessed of will, and, in its measure, has the power to choose,28. And in their native planes all creatures are supplied with nourishment from the ethers of their planes.29. And so it was with every living thing until the will became a sluggish will, and then the ethers of the protoplast, the earth, the plant, the beast, the man, began to vibrate very slow.30. The ethers all became more dense, and all the creatures of these planes were clothed with coarser garbs, the garbs of flesh, which men can see; and thus this coarser manifest, which men call physical, appeared.31. And this is what is called the fall of man; but man fell not alone for protoplast, and earth, and plant and beast were all included in the fall.32. The angels and the cherubim fell not; their wills were ever strong, and so they held the ethers of their planes in harmony with God.33. Now, when the ethers reached the rate of atmosphere, and all the creatures of these planes must get their food from atmosphere, the conflict came; and that which the finite man ahs called, survival of the best, became the law,34. The stronger ate the bodies of the weaker manifests; and here is where the carnal law of evolution had its rise.35. And now man, in his utter shamelessness, strikes down and eats the beasts, the beast consumes the plant, the plant thrives on the earth, the earth absorbs the protoplast.36. In yonder kingdom of the soul this carnal evolution is not known, and the great work of master minds is to restore the heritage of man, to bring him back to his estate that he has lost, when he again will live upon the ethers of his native plane.37. The thoughts of God change not; the manifests of life on every plane unfold into perfection of their kind; and as the thoughts of God can never die, there is no death to any being of the seven ethers of the seven Spirits of the Triune God.38. And so an earth is never plant; a beast, or bird, or creeping thing is never man, and man is not, and cannot be, a beast, or bird, or creeping thing.39. The time will come when all these seven manifests will be absorbed, and man, and beast, and plant, and earth and protoplast will be redeemed.40. Barata was amazed; the wisdom of the Jewish sage was a revelation unto him.41. Now, Vidyapati, wisest of the Indian sages, chief of temple Kapavistu, heard Barata speak to Jesus of the origin of man, and heard the answer of the Hebrew prophet, and he said,42. You priests of Kapavistu, hear me speak: We stand to-day upon a crest of time.
are candles all in place, just waiting to be lighted by the flaming torch of love.18. And when you see the candles all aflame, just look, and you will see, with eyes of soul, the waters of the fount of wisdom rushing on; and you may drink, and there abide.19. And then the curtains part, and you are in the Holiest of All, where rests the Arc of God, whose covering is the Mercy Seat.20. Fear not to lift the sacred board; the Tables of the Law are in the Ark concealed.21. Take them and read them well; for they contain all precepts and commands that men will ever need.22. And in the Ark, the magic wand of prophecy lies waiting for your hand; it is the key to all the hidden meanings of the present, future, past.23. And then, behold, the manna there, the hidden bread of life; and he who eats shall never die.24. The cherubim have guarded well for every soul this treasure box, and whosoever will enter in and find his own.25. Now Kaspar heard the Hebrew master speak and he exclaimed, Behold, the wisdom of the gods has come to men!26. And Jesus went his way, and in the sacred groves of Cyrus, where the multitudes were met, he taught and healed the sick.
1. In every age since time began have seven sages lived.2. At first of every age these sages meet to note the course of nations, peoples, tribes and tongues;3. To note how far toward justice, love and righteousness the race has gone;4. To formulate the code of laws, religious postulates and plans of rule best suited to the coming age.5. An age had passed, and lo, another age had come; the sages must convene.6. Now, Alexandria was the centre of the world's best thought, and here in Philo's home the sages met.7. From China came Meng-ste; from India Viyapati came; from Persia Kaspar came; and from Assyria Ashbina came; from Greece Apollo; Matheno was the Egyptian sage, and Philo was the chief of Hebrew thought.8. The time was due; the council met and sat in silence seven days.9. And then Meng-ste arose and said, The wheel of time has turned once more; the race is on a higher plane of thought.10. The garments that or fathers wove have given out; the cherubim have woven a celestial cloth; have placed it in our hands and we must make for men new garbs.11. The sons of men are looking up for greater light.
1. God is not force alone; for wisdom is his counterpart.2. When cherubim instructed man in wisdom's ways they said that wisdom is the Mother of the race, as force is Father of the race.3. The man who honours the almighty and omniscient God is blessed, and in the tables of the law we read,4. Pay homage to your Father and Mother of the race, that your days may be prolonged upon the land that they have given you.5. The letter of the law commands; you shall not kill; and he who kills must stand before the judgement seat.6. A person may desire to kill, yet if he does not kill he is not judged by law.7. The spirit of the law avers that he who shall desire to kill, or seeks revenge, is angry with a man without sufficient cause, must answer to the judge;8. And he who calls his brother soulless vagabond shall answer to the council of the just;9. And he who calls his brother a degenerate, a dog, fans into life the burning fires of hell within himself.10. Now, in the higher law we read that if your brother is aggrieved by something you have done, before you offer unto God your gifts, go forth and find your brother and be reconciled to him.11. It is not well to let the sun go down upon your wrath.12. If he will not be reconciled when you have laid aside all selfish pleas, have waived all selfish rights, you will be guiltless in the sight of God; then go and offer unto God your gifts.13. If you owe aught to any man and cannot pay; or if a man shall claim a greater sum than is his due it is not well that you dispute his claims.14. Resistance is the sire of anger; there is no mercy and no reason in a wrathful man.15. I tell you it is better far to suffer loss than go to law, or call upon the courts of men to judge of right and wrong.16. The law of carnal man would say, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth; resist encroachment on your rights.17. But this is not the law of God.

7 The priests then brought the ark of the Lord YHWH’s covenant to its place in the inner sanctuary of the temple, the Most Holy Place, and put it beneath the wings of the cherubim. 8 The cherubim spread their wings over the place of the ark and covered the ark and its carrying poles. 9 These poles were so long that their ends, extending from the ark, could be seen from in front of the inner sanctuary, but not from outside the Holy Place; and they are still there today. 10 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets that Moses had placed in it at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the Israelites after they came out of Egypt.
The cherubim on the Ark had four faces: a man (Aquarius), a bull (Taurus), a lion (Leo), and an eagle (Scorpio).
