CHAPTER IV.
OF THE BIRTH OF PO, ABRAM, BRAHMA AND EAWAHTAH.
1. For two whole days Cpenta-armij left the people in recreation, but on the third sheascended the throne, and lo and behold, even in that same moment of time, a light spreadabroad over all the place, so that the people comprehended indeed what was meant byJehovih's hand being upon them. And they all resumed their places, whereupon Jehovihspake through Cpenta-armij, saying:
2. Whom I brought with Me from Haotsaiti shall be My Council during dawn; but theportals shall remain open on every side.
3. Who are not of My Council are not bound unto these, My labors, and the same shall goand come as they choose, remembering the call of their respective Gods.
4. For know ye all, that whoever aspireth to Me shall come to Me; but the nearest way formany is round about. Ye being above grade fifty are already more to Me and for Me thanagainst Me or from Me, and in equal degree are cast upon your own responsibility. Forsuch is the light of My kingdoms, from the first to the highest: To the child, noresponsibility; 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 butto all who are beneath.
5. Wherein My highest worlds are responsible for the lowest, being bound unto oneanother through Me for the resurrection of all.
6. In this day am I come to deliver My Gods down to the earth, to walk on the earth withmortals, raising them up in My name.
7. They who shall be raised up in Me, even though still of the earth, shall be holden alikeresponsible for all who are beneath them; for with My light and power before them, anddoing in My name, they that are beneath them will hold them, not only on the earth, but inheaven, for their labors and words.
8. The Voice departed, and then Cpenta-armij spake in her own behalf, saying: Oncearound earth and heaven will I now travel, seeing with mine own eyes and hearing withmine own ears, even as is commanded of me by the Father; that I may know of mine ownknowledge the condition of mortals and of the spirits who dwell both with them and inthe lowest heavens. He who is still your God shall abide with you, and on this throne,until I return.
9. Cpenta-armij then descended and sat at the foot of the throne, and Owks and Ha-o-haand See-wah-Gon with her, whereupon God went down and took her hand, saying: Arise,O Goddess, and go thy way. And then he raised up the other three in the same way, andthey saluted and stood aside. Now, as soon as God raised them up, the All Light settledupon him, and he again ascended the throne, and sat in the midst. Then spake Cpenta-armij,saying to God:
10. Jehovih hath commanded the raising of a voice in four divisions of the earth; what isthy light, O God? God said:
11. 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, ofgrade ninety-five. In Vind'yu I have raised up a man named Brahma, an I'huan of the I'hinside, of grade ninety-nine. I Guatama I have raised up a man named Eawahtah, an I'huanof the I'hin side, of grade ninety-five.
12. The loo'is who have accomplished this labor are still with their wards, but areapprised of thy coming. Behold, I send with thee messengers who will answer thycommands.
13. Hereupon, Cpenta-armij, with her hosts, departed, and entered an otevan which Godhad had previously prepared for her; and she took with her one million attendants, goingstraight down to the earth. And first of all to visit mortals and mortal kingdoms, kings andqueens, 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 theAll Voice.
14. Next after these she visited all the heavenly kingdoms belonging to the earth, goingfirst to the heavenly kingdom, belonging to Japan, thence to Ah'oan, of Jaffeth, thence toE'chad, and so on until she saw them all.
15. After that Cpenta-armij returned to Craoshivi, making a circuit sufficient to examineall the plateaux below the belt meteoris.
16. Now the whole time Cpenta-armij had been gone was thirty and two days. Whilst shehad been absent, God extended the receiving grounds of Craoshivi twelve thousand milesin breadth toward the south, and founded sixty colonies. For even now were, and wouldbe, for the four years to come, ships arriving daily with hundreds of thousands of angelswho were being prepared for the degree of Brides and Bridegrooms to Jehovih, ready forthe third resurrection.
17. Messengers had arrived in Craoshivi daily from Cpenta-armij, so that God knew whenshe would return. And accordingly he had prepared all things in readiness, and she wasreceived in the name of the Father, in due ceremony.
18. And Cpenta-armij ascended the throne of God and sat in the midst, and a light like asun 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 respectiveplaces, the es'enaurs were chanting anthems, and the awe and majesty of the scene weremagnified to the utmost.
CHAPTER V.
1. When the light fell upon Cpenta-armij, the Voice of Jehovih spake through her, saying:
2. In thee whom I made God over the earth and her heavens I am well pleased; by Myhand hast thou raised them up; through thee have I maintained the Diva even unto thisday.
3. Thou shalt have honor in My exalted heavens because thou art the first in Spe-ta;2 butthou shalt crown thy glory by descending to the earth and walking with mortals for theterm of four years, even with My Son, Brahma. And when thy time is completed, I willcome and deliver thee and Brahma.
4. In My name shalt thou raise thy voice and establish Me amongst men; and I will bewith thee in Wisdom and Power. Take thy attendants and proceed to thy labor; inwhatsoever thou desirest of Me, call, and I will answer, for I have messengers who shalllabor betwixt us.
5. God then saluted, and withdrew. Next came Yima, and to him Jehovih spake, saying:
6. Being one with God, thou shalt labor even as he laboreth; and thou shalt descend to theearth, even to My corporeal Son, Po, who hath been prepared in My name, and with himshalt thou walk the earth four years. And thou shalt speak in My name, establishing Meamongst mortals, to the end that My chosen shall be delivered into My kingdoms. Forthou shalt lead them away from the mortal kings, and teach them to know Me as theironly King.
7. Take, then, thy attendants and go to thy labor, and at the end of four years I willappoint a successor to thee, and I will deliver thee into My etherean kingdoms.
8. Yima then saluted and stood aside. Next came Vishnu, renowned for his labor inVind'yu and her heavens. To him Jehovih said:
9. Being one with God, thou shalt with him fulfill the completion of Spe-ta in My name. To which end thou shalt descend to the corporeal earth, even Arabin'ya, and dwell thereonfor the period of four years, with My corporeal Son, Abram. With Abram shalt thou walkand sojourn day and night, speaking and laboring in Me as fully as My very Self. Andthou shalt deliver My chosen away from the kings' peoples, teaching them to have no kingbut Me, their Creator. To Abram shalt thou reveal My name, JEHOVIH,and establish it insecret, with due rites and ceremonies. And at the end of four years will I appoint asuccessor to thee; and thee will I deliver into My emancipated worlds. Take, then, thyattendants and depart to thy labor, and I will be with thee in wisdom and power. Vishnuthen saluted and stood aside.
10. Next came Os, sent by the etherean regions of Haot-saiti to deliver the kingdoms ofJapan and Heleste and their heavens, but who was now relieved by the Divan successor. To Os Jehovih spake, saying:
11. In honor of thy volunteering in the days of darkness for the relief of God and hiskingdoms, I now create thee God of the first Spe-ta of the red star, and crown thee withMine Own hand.
12. And, lo and behold, even with these spoken words, a light descended in the form of acrown and settled upon his head. Thereupon Jehovih said: In which I have made thee alawful Div with corporeal power.
13. And thou shalt descend to the corporeal earth, even to Guatama, and walk with MySon, 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, andestablishing them in faith of the Great Spirit, in My name, Egoquim, suitable to theutterance I have created them.
14. And at the end of four years I will appoint a successor to thee; and thee I will restoreinto My etherean worlds. Take, then, thy attendants and depart to thy labor, and I will bewith thee in wisdom and power.
15. Then Os saluted and stood aside, and the Voice departed; then Cpenta-armij, on herown account, said: This hour, even now, I dissolve the Diva with honor and glory untothem. The kingdoms ye ruled over shall be my kingdoms during dawn; in the Father'sname I assume them and their affairs. Peace and love and wisdom and power be with youall, amen.
16. The four inspiring Gods then departed, and in the outer circuit of Craoshivi they hadin waiting, which their attendants had prepared beforehand, each one an otevan fullyequipped 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 theearth.
17. 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.
18. Cpenta-armij said: I have visited the earth and her heavens, even her heavens on hervery 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 messengerswill communicate to them, commanding them, in my love and wisdom, which are onewith the Father, to come at once to Craoshivi, that I may honor them and apportion themfor the third resurrection, which will occur in four years.
19. 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 comebefore me! Yugsaesu then came before Jehovih's throne, and Cpenta-armij said unto him: Repair thou unto Maitraias, taking thy hosts with thee. And when thou art come to theplace, possess it in Jehovih's name, and order it after the manner of a Lord-dom,providing sub-kingdoms unto thy place as may be required.
20. And thou shalt have dominion over all angels that are already with the plateau ofMaitraias, or such as may be hereafter sent to thee from the other heavenly divisions andfrom the earth. And thou shalt provide thy kingdom unto the service of the Father, chieflyto prevent angels returning to the earth to obsess and pollute mortals. For thou shalt findhundreds of millions of them who have no aspiration but destruction. Many of themwere slain in wars on the earth, and are still seeking vengeance, and if escaping tothe earth, obsess mortals to burn cities, and to murder, and to all manner of wickedness.
21. Thy labor, O Lord, is not to reform them or teach them, for I shall appoint and allotothers to that end; but thou shalt labor wholly and entirely to prevent the return ofMaitraisans to mortals. And that thou shalt be strong before them, thou shalt draw fromall other heavenly kingdoms, which I shall found, a sufficient guard to enforce mycommandments.
22. For four years shalt thou labor in this matter, and thou shalt also raise up one with thyLord-dom, to be thy successor after thee. Take, then, thy hosts and go to thy labors, andthe Father will be with thee in wisdom and power.
23. Yugsaesu then made his selections from Cpenta-armij's hosts, and they came andpassed before Jehovih's throne, saluting, and then withdrew and went into a ship whichhad, likewise, been prepared for them by the proper persons, whose labor lies in thatmatter; and, having saluted with music, they departed, Yugaesu and his hosts, rejoicing.
24. Again Cpenta-armij spake, saying: Behold, the time is now come upon the earth whenI will divide and allot unto each of its several great divisions heavenly kingdomsaccordingly.
25. To Japan, because she is a remnant of the submerged continent, I establish a heavenlykingdom, and it shall be called SUASU.
26. To Jaffeth, because she has preserved much of the first language, I establish aheavenly kingdom, and it shall be called HI-JEE-TSE.
27. To Vind'yu, because she is the most advanced in holiness of all the earth, I establish aheavenly kingdom, and it shall be called VRI-MIJ.
28. To Arabin'ya, because she is the foundation of Jehovih's migratory hosts who shall goforth around the earth, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called PARADISE.
29. To Heleste, because she was rescued from darkness by Os in time to meet this arc, Iestablish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called SPE-TA.
30. To Uropa, because she was first founded by a woman, I establish a heavenly kingdom,and it shall be called HIMMEL.
31. To South Guatama, because she is the least inhabited of all the great divisions of theearth, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called AHDEN.
32. To North Guatama, because she is the ground on which the circumscribing of theearth by the different nations shall take place, where the revelations of heaven and earthshall be made to man, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called KOSMON.
33. To all the South Islands, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called FLUE.
34. To all the North Islands, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called SIN-YOT.
35. Hereupon the light of Jehovih overspread Cpenta-armij, and His voice spake throughher, saying: To My ten heavenly kingdoms which I have made through My Daughter,behold, I choose ten Lords, and My ten Lords shall go to the kingdoms I apportion untothem. In My name shall My Lords build unto Me ten heavenly places of delight, for thespirits of the dead that rise up from the earth.
36. And My Lords shall 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 shallraise them up, to know Me and the glory of the worlds I have created for them; inspiringthem to perfect themselves in wisdom and purity and power, that they may arise andinherit My etherean heavens.
37. And My Lords shall appoint ashars unto mortals at the time of their corporeal birth;and the said ashars shall be appointed in watch and watch, that they may relieve oneanother, having a time of labor and a time of rest. And My Lords shall so appoint Myashars that each and every ashar shall have a hundred changes of labor with a hundreddifferent mortals, in order to learn all the varieties of men and women I have created. And the number of ashars shall be equal to the number of mortals dwelling on the earth.
38. And My Lords shall appoint asaphs to reside in heaven, sufficient in number toreceive the spirits of all who die on the earth, which they shall receive from the ashars inMy name. And the asaphs shall take such angels, thus received, and place them inthe regions My Lords shall have prepared for them, where there shall be sufficientof teachers and nurses and physicians in My heavenly places to administer unto them.
39. And My Lords shall provide discipline to the spirits thus received, who shall betrained according to the Divan law which I established through My Gods, which shallextend beyond the es'yan even to the thirtieth grade.
40. And My Lords shall provide for them that have attained to the thirtieth grade to besent in suitable ships to this place, Craoshivi, and deliver them to My daughter, Cpenta-armij,and to her successor, God or Goddess, who shall have dominion over the wholeearth and her heavens.
41. For behold, it is the nature of man on the earth to go after earthly things instead ofheavenly; and it is the nature of the es'yan to strive for the earth instead of My higherheavens. Be ye guarded, therefore, to lay a foundation to prevent angels and mortals fromgoing downward; to provide inspiration to make them desire to ascend to My holyregions.
42. The Voice now departed, and Cpenta-armij spake on her own account in Jehovih'sname, saying:
43. Whosoever I call, let them come before Jehovih's throne, for they shall be the Lordswhom I shall anoint for the heavenly kingdoms I have established:
44. Le-tzoo, Lord of Suasu, a heavenly place over Japan.
45. Oe-wah, Lord of Hi-jee-tse, a heavenly place over Jaffeth.
46. Loo-gam, Lord of Vri-mij, a heavenly place over Vind'yu.
47. Ha-kappa, Lord of Paradise, a heavenly place over Arabin'ya.
48. Jes-Sie, Lordess of Spe-ta, a heavenly place over Heleste.
49. Yo-han, Lord of Himmel, a heavenly place over Uropa.
50. Hinot-tse, Lordess of Ahden, a heavenly place over South Guatama.
51. Ami, Lordess of Kosmon, a heavenly place over North Guatama.
52. Horam, Lord of Flue, a heavenly place over the Southern Islands.
53. Puetse, Lordess of Sin-Yot, a heavenly place over the Northern Islands.
54. All the angels named came before Cpenta-armij when called, and they now stoodabreast Jehovih's throne, whereupon the All Light overspread the place, and the Father'sVoice spake through Cpenta'armij, saying:
55. Ye are My Lords and Lordesses, by Me raised up and allotted your places. For fouryears shall ye labor, even to the end of this dawn; and ye shall provide successors totake your places after you. And herein lies your greatest glory and Mine. For they thatsucceed you shall hold dominion two hundred years. And they in turn shall providesuccessors after them, and so on, for these successions shall continue till the arc of Bon.
56. With Mine own hand weave I crowns, and crown you severally for my kingdoms!
57. 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 andLordesses. The Voice ceased, but Cpenta-armij spake on her own account, in Jehovih'sname, saying:
58. My Lords and Lordesses, go to your labors in the love, wisdom and power of theFather, and He will be with you; and ye shall be a glory in His kingdoms. Choose ye,therefore, each and every one ten millions of my hosts, who shall go with you to yourplaces, to be afterward exchanged or divided, as I may direct. That ye may choose inorder, he who was first appointed shall choose first; the second next, and so on until yehave your chosen.
59. All these Lords and Lordesses were of the Higher Light, and knew beforehand, andhad in like manner already chosen their attendants, so that at a given signal the multitudesthus 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 THELOWER HEAVENS.
60. Cpenta-armij said: For the glory of this scene, I bequeath a day of rest, that my hostsmay witness the departure of the fleets of Jehovih's Lords and Lordesses. At oncethe hosts joined in a mighty chorus of thanksgiving and praise; and they went withoutand saw the ships laden with the joyous crews; saw them set their great fleet inmotion; 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.
1. In the beginning of the second year of Cpenta-armij in Craoshivi, messengers camebefore Jehovih's throne, saluting, and greeting from Ctusk, who now lived under thename, Ahura, and submitted the following communication, to wit:
2. Ctusk, who hath become Ahura, a servant of Jehovih, and is now God of Ailkin by justjudgment of Jehovih, desireth audience with the Most High-Raised Cpenta-armij,Daughter of the Great Spirit.
3. To this Cpenta-armij answered: Greeting, in love to my brother, Ahura. By the Graceand Power of Jehovih, come and see me, bringing thy attendants. Now, after the lapse of afew days, Ahura came to Craoshivi, attended by one million, escorted by music,and proclaimed according to the discipline of the higher heavens, with heralds andtrumpeters. And Cpenta-armij's hosts received Ahura and conducted him and his hostswithin the capital chamber; and Ahura went before Jehovih's throne, saluting on the sign,SECOND PLATEAU,and Cpenta-armij answered in NIRVANIANROAD, SALKWATKA. She said:
4. In the name of the Great Spirit, Whose Daughter I am, I welcome thee in love andhigh esteem. I know all thy past record, and do look upon thee as the foundation ofone of Jehovih's brightest suns. Long have I desired that thou shouldst petition tocome to see me; and much desired I to see thee and greet thee in the Father's name.
5. Ahura said: O thou Most High Chieftainess, of hundreds of thousands of years, howcan I stand before thee? I know thou hast seen many truants in thy day, and watchedtheir course thousands of years. Thou canst see before me all that awaiteth me andmine; the past and the future are as an open book before thee. That I have stoodbefore thee and looked upon thee, I am blessed above all things since the day of my birth.
6. Behold, the hand of the Great Spirit hath appeared before me; I comprehend the onlyroad that leadeth on to everlasting resurrections; I know that the ONE ALL PERSON mustever stand as the key-note for angels and mortals. Without Him, a man is as a shipwithout a rudder; the seas around about him drive him to ruin in the end. Blessed is hewho hath had the experience of this in an early day of his life. Nervous and full of fear ishe who hath been tried two thousand years!
7. Then spake Cpenta-armij, saying: I perceive thy desires, O Ahura! I understand whythou art before me. Thy wisdom is great indeed. Thou perceivest that thy plateau is in thesecond removal from the earth. Thou fearest that some of thy hosts will forsake Jehovih,and usurp kingdoms of their own, even as thou didst in time past. Thou desirest me toraise thy plateau farther away from the corporeal earth.
8. Ahura said: If it be Jehovih's will, even for this purpose am I come before thee!
9. Now came a great light, bright, like a sun, and settled over the throne, envelopingthe Goddess, Cpenta-armij, and Jehovih's Voice spake out of the light to Ahura, saying:
10. My Son, My Son, why hast thou so little faith! Behold, I am with thee even as withthis, My Daughter. All thou lackest is faith. Go thou back to thy plateau and raise thouit thyself. My Daughter shall come to thee, and show thee, and thou shalt not fail. Tohave faith in Me is to be one with Me; to lack faith in Me is to be far removed from Me.
11. Ahura said: O Jehovih, teach Thou me how to begin to have faith. To find thebeginning, there is my stumbling block!
12. Jehovih said: By trying Me, there is the beginning. By learning to know thine ownpower in Me; and to know My power in thee; this is the sum of all power and wisdom. Bythe lack of faith in Me, man setteth up himself; by the lack of faith in Me, the self-assumingGods build kingdoms for themselves.
13. The failure of man is proof of My power; the failure of all kingdoms is proof of thelack of faith in Me, whereby My power is manifested over them. First, after the abjuringof self, cometh the constant manifestation of power through faith, the example of whichholdeth the multitude to Me and My works.
14. Inasmuch as thou hast suffered fear in thy soul for a relapse in thy kingdom, thou hastopened the door for disaster. Have I not proved this on earth? --wherein the faith ofa captain leadeth his soldiers on a victory, and his lack of faith breaketh themdown in weakness. Think not, O Ahura, that My examples are less with My Gods.
15. If, therefore, My Daughter should come to thy kingdom and raise it up, behold, shewould lessen thy hosts' faith in thee. For which reason thou shalt return to Ailkin, andproclaim to thy people that thou wilt raise thy plateau. And though millions of them willconsider it vanity, and beyond thy power, behold, I will provide unto thee that thou shaltnot fail.
16. Ahura said: I perceive Thy Wisdom, O Jehovih! That which Thou hast put upon me, Iknow I shall accomplish through Thee. The Voice departed, and Cpenta-armij spake onher own account, saying: Thou shalt proclaim a day for this great work; and thou shaltsend invitations to me and my hosts, and to my Gods and Lords, Goddesses andLordesses. Send thou, therefore, thy surveyors and inspectors, and determine whither thouwouldst raise thy plateau, and thou shalt be provided from my hosts whatever assistancethou mayst need.
17. Ahura then saluted, and he and his hosts departed without the capital chamber, wherethey rested awhile in recreation with the etherean hosts, and then they entered their shipand departed, and returned to Ailkin. After which Ahura appointed the day for theresurrection, and sent messengers throughout atmospherea, proclaiming what he woulddo, inviting Gods and Lords, with their attendants, to come and spend the day with him.
18. Jehovih spake to Cpenta-armij, saying: Send thou thy mathematicians to estimate thegrade of Ahura's plateau; and send thy surveyors to the place he hath chosen, that thyhosts may know the power required; and provide thou from thine own hosts, privily,suitable stationers that Ahura shall not fail. For, in time to come, Ahura shall be one ofMy greatest of Gods.
