Hins

As Jehovih led the I'hins in paths fortuitous, by gentle words and love, but left them not strong before the warring elements, so hath He created upon the earth the masters who should subdue it, to the triumph of Gods.

As a man having two sons, the one low-strung and passionless, the other in ceaseless mischief and desire for havoc, because of the fullness within, so stand the twain, the I'hins and the Ghans, on the earth.

And when they die, and enter heaven, the first, the I'hins, go like lambs, as they are directed; but the second, the Ghans, still full of inherent stubbornness and self-will, unheed the God and Lords, and mock at them.

And these were the first writings since the flood, other than such as were kept secret amongst the I'hins.

The Lord said: Gather together a thousand men and women, and I will lead you to your brethren, whose forefathers were also saved from the flood; saved by the sacred little people, the I'hins.

The Lord said: Gather together a thousand men and women, and I will lead you to your brethren, whose forefathers were also saved from the flood; saved by the sacred little people, the I'hins.

But they will not harm the I'hins; therefore, O my beloved, on your long journey take with you two score of I'hins.

Through the I'hins can the Lord your God speak all languages, even the language of the barbarians, the I'huans.

Now during the travel of the migrants the Lord spake to them every day; through the I'hin priests spake the Lord unto them.

Keep you**** away from them, O my beloved; carry with you, on all your expeditions, I'hin priests, the sacred people, the mound-builders.

God said: In twelve thousand four hundred years the I'hin race, the mound builders, will come to an end.

And, save to the I'hins, the Light of Jehovih was shut out from men; thus ambition for improvement was at an end; they became as drones and vagabonds; and, when they died, their spirits continued to lie about in the places of their mortal life.

And the Lord spake over the land and over the waters, calling and speaking: Where are the I'hins, the chosen of the Lord?

Where is the place and boundary of the sacred people, the I'hins, whom I delivered in the time of the flood?

Where is the greatest place of the I'hins?

The Lord said: In amongst the I'huans are the I'hins, the little sacred people.

Behold, the I'huans are three to one, compared to the I'hins!

The I'hins are the greatest people.

Then the I'hins inquired the meaning of the word of God.

The Lord said: Long have I prophesied through my chosen, the I'hins.

God said: Suffer not the Ongwee to dwell with the I'hin, lest the seed of my chosen be lost.

And they had long hair, black and coarse; but their skin was brown, copper-colored; and their arms were short, like the I'hins.

So, the Ongwee-ghan became a new race in the world, having all the symmetry of the I'hin, and the savageness of the I'huans.

So the Lord commanded the I'hins to give to the Ongwees laws, rites and ceremonies; and these things were done as commanded.

The I'hins feared the Lord would visit a judgment upon the land, because of the Ongwees killing and eating flesh; but the Lord said unto them: Suffer you**** the Ongwees to fulfill their labor; too full is all the land with beasts and serpents.

And so it came to pass, as the Lord had spoken through the I'hin prophets.

In the time of Apollo were the first prophets raised up from other than the I'hin race.

Thus created the Lord a new race on the earth; and in all the divisions thereof, the new race came of the I'hins and the I'huans.

Nevertheless, in the time of Apollo, this race was but a fraction compared to the hundreds of millions of I'huans and ground people and I'hins that dwelt on the earth.

Then the Lord sent I'hin priests to circumcise the new race, the GHAN.

And the Ghans began to wear clothes, after the manner of the I'hins; and the latter gave them rites and ceremonies, and taught them how to pray and dance before Jehovih.

The chosen of God, being called I'hins, because they were the fruit of both heaven and earth, were taken into all the earth in the protection of God, his Lords and angels, for the fulfillment of man on the earth for the glory of the Almighty.

And in no time did the angels leave the I'hins alone, and without the light of heaven.

And whithersoever the I'hins went, there went the angels; and the angels often took on sar'gis, and were seen by man, even daily, and man talked with them face to face.

Nevertheless, in winter, when food was scarce, the ground people came to the cities of the I'hins, beseeching for food.

And the I'hins, remembering the commandments of God, went out to them, treating them to everything good to eat.

When God beheld what had happened, he called to the I'hins, saying: O you**** that could dispense with the Lord!

And in time to come the I'hin race should disappear from the earth; their like should not be found on this my footstool.

The I'hins inquired of the Lord when these things should come to pass.

The Lord said: From this time forth the I'hins should not mingle with any other people on the face of the earth.

And he said unto the I'hins: Behold, the I'huans cannot hear the voice of the Lord, therefore, go you**** unto them, saying: Thus saith the Lord: If you**** mingle with the druks your seed should not inherit everlasting life, but go down in darkness.

And the I'hins went and told the I'huans the words of God.

The I'hins said to one another: Are not these like unto those of the legends of old, who were made eunuchs and servants?

The I'hins feared for the judgments of God, and they called out to him for a remedy.

The I'huans should be guardians over the I'hins, the sacred people; and through the I'hins will I bless the I'huans, and make them mighty.

Since it is not lawful for the I'hins to kill beast, nor bird, nor serpent, behold, their cities and mounds are invaded by all manner of evil beasts and serpents.

The fields have I given to the I'hins, but the forests and wilderness have I, the Lord, given unto the I'huans.

But both the I'hins and the tribes of darkness ate neither flesh nor fish.

Though the I'hins dwelt in both the warm and the cold countries.

The I'huans learned the laws and obeyed them; and they looked upon the I'hins as a sacred people, doing them no harm.

And it came to pass that the I'huans were a very prolific people; four times more prolific than the I'hins, or the ground people.

But, behold, it should come to pass when the sub-Gods have robbed the barbarians of their familiar spirits, the I'hin priests will have a greater weight with them.

But as the light of a full grown man differ''' from that of a child's, so, in different degree, was the light of men; and those with the higher light were called Faithists (I'hins), because they perceived that Wisdom shaped all things and ruled to the ultimate glory of the All One; but those of the lesser light were called Cain, the druk, because their trust was more in corporeal than in spiritual things.

In four great divisions of the earth, in Vohu, in Jud, in Thouri and in Dis (see SET'HANTES, CHAPTER II, v.28) they left not one alive of the I'hin race.

But the land was swallowed up, valleys and mountains, and all the living perished, save the I'hins, who floated off in the ships.

The Lord spake unto the chosen (the I'hins), saying: Behold the earth!

For in the time of kosmon their relics should be testimony that the I'hin forerun the I'huan, the copper-colored, race in all the world.

In those days the I'hins dwelt not alone, but in cities and villages; and they were clothed.

I will honor the I'hins, the sacred people of God.

I will till the soil and gather roots to eat, and fibers of barks for clothing, and live like the I'hins, the chosen people of God.

When the I'hins worship before the altar of the Lord, I will keep on the outer circle, for the I'hins are the chosen servants of God.

When the I'hins march forth, following the prophets, I will come after, for I will honor the Lord's chosen.

I will give, first to the I'hins, second to the druks, and lastly keep for mine own self.

And the prophets on their part taught the I'hins, but with them the mysteries were kept a secret against all the world.

Hence, in after time, came the saying: Even the wicked were compelled to employ the I'hins, and were thus beholden to the Lord.

But during the last hundred years the earth brought forth none capable of everlasting life, save, indeed, the remnants of I'hins.

Now, for the most part, all the people had become I'hins, small, white and yellow.

Because the I'hins have become a spiritual people and have prospered in peace and spirit, behold, they have degenerated in the corporeal body.

And it came to pass that many of the I'hins lost the generative desire and, so, brought not forth many heirs.

But the brown people burnt with desires, and they laid hold of the I'hin women when they went into the fields, and forced them, and thus brought forth again the I'huan race, the copper colored, strong and bright and quick.

The I'hin hath been destroyed off all the divisions of the earth save Wagga.

And Jehovih saith: Go you, O God of heaven, and you, 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.

Wherefore I chose them also, and called them I'hins.

The Lord sent his loo'is (masters of generations, angels next in rank above guardian angels, i.e., ashars) to the I'hins, and they raised up heirs unto the Lord; by controlling the parentage of the unborn brought they into the world a new race of men, of the same seed and blood as of old, and these heard the voice of the Lord.

And as many of the I'hins in heaven as are capable, bring you also away with thee, and give them into the care of your*** people.

Search me out the seed of I'hin, and house them with care, for they should redeem the earth-born after I ascend to the Father's kingdom.

These were I'hins.

And it came to pass that a new race was born on the earth, and these were called I'hins, because they were begotten of both heaven and earth.

And the name of the first race was Asu (Adam), because they were of the earth only; and the name of the second race was I'hin (Abel), because they were capable of being taught spiritual things.

And the Lord spake unto the I'hin, through his angels spake he to them, saying: Go hide thy nakedness, for it is the commandment of God.

And The I'hins were afraid, and they clothed themselves, and were no longer naked before the Lord.

Neither should you**** permit the I'hins to dwell with Asu (Adam), lest his seed go down in darkness.

And the I'hins were grateful to the Lord, and they gave sacrifice in burnt offerings.

For I will also put a mark upon the I'hins, my chosen, so you should know them when they come unto you*.

And the Lord commanded the male I'hins, old and young, to be circumcised, that woman might not be deceived by the druks.

And the I'hins circumcised one another, old and young; for it was the testimony of the Lord unto woman that seed of their seed was born to everlasting life.

God said: A boundary line will I make between the tribes of druks and the I'hins; and this is the line that I the Lord God make between them:

The I'hins should labor and clothe themselves, and I will abide with them; but the druks should wander in the wilderness, neither laboring nor clothing themselves.

The time of the habitation of Asu was eight thousand years; and they survived two thousand years after the time of the birth of the I'hins, which is to say: Asu dwelt on the earth six thousand years, and then conceived of the chosen of God; and after that survived yet two thousand years.

And there remained on the earth the sacred people, the I'hins; and the carnivorous people, the druks.

The I'hins were white and yellow, but the druks were brown and black; the I'hins were small and slender, but the druks were tall and stout.

So also should it be with the druks, save wherein they cohabit with the I'hins, whose seed is born unto everlasting life.

And the Lord said: Because they are the fruit of incest, and not capable of speech, nor of eternal life in heaven, the I'hins should make servants of them.

And the angels of God taught the I'hins to make eunuchs of the Yaks; of the males and females made the I'hins eunuchs of the Yaks, and took them for servants.

And the Lord said: The Yaks should serve the I'hins, and build and sow and reap for them.

The I'hins were disposed to live alone, but the Lord called them together, saying: Come and dwell together in cities.

And God said unto the I'hins: That you**** may teach some of them of the Lord your God, build you**** within the house of worship an image of me; in likeness of man build you**** it.

And the I'hins, men and women, with their servants, built images of stone and clay and wood unto the Lord, and stood them by the altars of sacrifice.

And the druks inquired of the I'hins as to the cause thereof.

And the I'hins said: Behold, there is a God in heaven, more subtle than the air of heaven.

The I'hins answered, saying: That whosoever hath attained to remember God is in the way of everlasting life.

The I'hins answered, saying: As the voice of the Lord is unseen but potent, so is there a spirit in man unseen and potent, which should never die, but ascend to heaven to habitations prepared by the Lord.

And the Lord said unto the I'hins: Because you**** have done a good thing, go you**** abroad, by the roadsides and in other places, and build images unto me and mine, and my angels should bestow gifts and signs and miracles.

And the I'hins covered the roadways of the earth over with idols of stone and wood and clay, and the angels of heaven descended to the idols and established thereabout heavenly kingdoms.

The I'hins inquired of the Lord, saying: If we build walls around about our cities, how should we get in and out?

And the I'hins prospered and spread abroad over the face of the earth; hundreds of thousands of cities and mounds built they, and they rejoiced in the glory of all created things.

And God saw that man was good and grateful in all things; and God called unto the angels of heaven, saying: Why are the I'hins good?

And the angels answered, saying: Because you saidst unto us: Go you****, as guardian angels, and inspire man to live without evil, even so have we administered unto the I'hins, guarding and inspiring them night and day.

God said: Why then, the I'hins have no honor.

And the angels withdrew awhile from the I'hins.

And now it came to pass, that they had stored in their cities and on their mounds ample provision of food and raiment for the winter; but the druks followed not the example of the I'hins, for the druks stored up nothing.

Go you**** over the ladders and possess the stores of the I'hins.

And the druks plundered the I'hins; and evil spirits sat upon the I'hins also, and many of them were inspired to defend their stores.

And the I'hins besought the Lord as to why God suffered evil to come upon his chosen.

The I'hins said: Our people are scattered and gone; will they not mingle with the druks, and thus go out in darkness?

So the Lord inspired other people besides the I'hins, to make and wear clothes, and they thus wore them.

And again the Lord brought the I'hins together in lodges and cities, and he said unto them: Henceforth you**** should live upon the earth as an example of righteousness.

And there began to be a new tribe on the earth; and they were called I'huans, because they were half-breeds, between the druks and I'hins.

Protect you**** the I'hins, the little people, white and yellow; call them THE SACRED PEOPLE.

And the Lord spake unto the I'hin, saying: That the labor of the Lord your*** God may be remembered on the earth, go provide me a stone and I will engrave it with mine own hand, and it should be called Se'moin (see first tablet, BOOK OF SAPHAH) because it should be a testimony unto all nations and peoples, on the earth, of the first written language in all the world.

And the I'hins prepared a stone, and hewed it flat and then polished it smooth; and the Lord came down in the night and engraved it.

And the Lord explained it; through his angels taught he the I'hins the meaning of the characters engraved thereon.

So it came to pass, the angels of heaven inspired the I'hins to make tablets and to read them, that the first language of the earth (Panic) might be preserved to the races of men.

Now the I'huans partly obeyed the Lord and partly obeyed the way of the flesh; and they became warriors and destroyers; nevertheless they harmed not the I'hins, nor suffered harm to come upon them.

God had commanded the I'hins to make eunuchs of the Yaks, the monstrosities, and use them as servants; for the Lord saw that the Yaks were not capable of everlasting life in heaven.

In those days the relative proportion of the races of men were: I'hins, one hundred; I'huans, three hundred; druks, five thousand; Yaks, five thousand; and of monstrosities between man and beast, three thousand; but the latter died each generation, for they had not the power of procreation amongst themselves.

And God saw the work of destruction going on (of the I'huans slaughtering right and left), and he sent the I'hins to preach amongst them, saying to the I'hins.

And man, save the few I'hins, gave up to wickedness all his days.

Nevertheless, the I'huans suffered less; and the I'hins not at all.

Such then was the number of three generations of I'hins; which is to say, that in those days the number of the inhabitants of the earth (not including the asuans, who were not created to everlasting life) was fifty-four millions.
