3. In the times of My seasons the soul of the dead shall stand by the living; and testifyto the endless creations which I provided, to perish not, forever! As a cord thatlifteth a weight, so shall be the soul of the dead to those that are stricken in sorrow.
4. And I will uncover My heavens unto those; and My angels shall come down from Myexalted kingdoms by the light of the line of their love; and they shall rejoice in the way ofMy dominions, and glorify Me and My works.
5. Thrice, at the times of the setting sun, shall ye assemble and sing for the soul of thedead, remembering his virtues in great praise. Then shall ye deliver his spirit unto Myasaphs for the mansion I have built. And I will render unto him the delights of Mykingdoms according to the light of his understanding.

3. Then spake Jehovih to the infant: Light of My light, O My Son! To thee I give the earthand the heavens, to be thine forever! And the waters of the earth and the air of thefirmament, to be thine forever! And the forests and mountains and valleys, to be thyparadise forever. And the oceans and seas, to be thine forever. And lastly, O My Son,what I gave to no other animal on earth or in the waters thereof, or in the air of heaven,give I unto thee; behold, I give thyself to thee.
4. And I give thee guardian angels to walk by thee and show thee My great delights andthe way of My resurrections! They shall speak to thy soul to keep thee in the right way. Hear thou them and follow in the way of thy Creator, and thou shalt rejoice all the days ofthy life.
5. But thy corporeal eyes and ears and thy corporeal judgment give I unto thineown hands. Remember, My Son, learn thou corporeal knowledge through thy soul, forit is of Me, and thou shalt not err. But shut out the way of My voice, and followthy corporeal senses only, and thou shalt go down in darkness for a long season.
6. Remember thy Creator at all times and seasons, and thou shalt rejoice because thou artthis day brought forth an heir of everlasting life.
7. Then spake Jehovih to the ashars, the guardian angels: Into your keeping, O Mybeloved, give I this My Son, quickened by My very breath to live forever. In your regularturns, watch and watch, guard ye him from this time forth, for he is the fruit I bequeathunto you. And in due time ye shall render his soul unto My asaphs in heaven, beingglorified therein.
8. Nor shall ye ever make yourselves known to him through his corporeal senses; for yourlabor is with the spirit. But when ye find it rightful that angels shall approach hiscorporeal understanding, see to it that they be exalted and in the way of My everlastingkingdoms. For the plan of My creations is for the resurrection of the soul of man to beforever and ever!
