Then Fragapatti sent swift messengers to Mouru, relating all that had been<br \/>\naccomplished, giving, also, the names of the generals and captains over the newly<br \/>\nestablished colonies redeemed from Utza, in the Aoasuan mountains, so they might be<br \/>\nregistered in the libraries of Haraiti. And Fragapatti established a line of messengers<br \/>\nbetwixt the colonies, and also from the colonies to Mouru, and selected and appointed the<br \/>\nmessengers, to hold office during dawn.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. And when the affairs of this region of the lower heavens were completed and in<br \/>\nworking order, Fragapatti was ready to ascend with the mad and dumb drujas rescued<br \/>\nfrom hell. Accordingly, the proper persons fell to work and carried them into the<br \/>\navalanza; being obliged to blindfold them because of the light. Nor did the drujas cease<br \/>\nwailing and crying with fear and pain and craziness. But because of the multitude of<br \/>\ninfants, Fragapatti had previously provided five hundred thousand women of fetal, that<br \/>\nthe infants might be redeemed to everlasting life.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Sixty thousand physicians had Fragapatti aboard, and they fell to work right and left,<br \/>\nresuscitating and restoring to consciousness the unfortunates. And of the hosts of Hoab,<br \/>\nnot one was there but went to work, willingly, as nurse and helper.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Now struck up the es&#8217;senaurs with music, thirty thousand of them, but soft and gentle<br \/>\nas a breath of wind, carrying the tones around about the ship, even as an endless echo,<br \/>\ncalling and answering from all possible directions, a continuous and enrapturing change,<br \/>\nas if near, and as if far off. So that the uninformed knew not whence the music came, nor<br \/>\nhow it was produced.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. All these things were set to working order just as the great avalanza was ready to start.<br \/>\nThen Fragapatti went into the ship, being almost the last one to enter. Already was the<br \/>\nlight gathering bright and dense about him, his head almost hid in the brilliancy of the<br \/>\nhalo. And then he called out:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Arise! Arise! In Jehovih&#8217;s name, upward rise! And as he spake, behold, the avalanza<br \/>\nmoved with his will, for all the hosts joined in the same expression, and presently started<br \/>\nupward the great fire-ship; leaving the burning walls and signal centers flickering below,<br \/>\nso that even hell overthrown shone with great grandeur.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Fragapatti spake to Hoab, saying: When I took thee and thy hosts from Zeredho, I<br \/>\npromised to take thee to Mouru, the capital city of Haraiti, my kingdom. Now thou<br \/>\ndesirest me to go with these drujas to Zeredho. I will ask thee now, thinkest thou that thou<br \/>\ncouldst plan their salvation, and restore them to light?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. To which Hoab replied, saying: I perceive that of myself I can do nothing but go down<br \/>\nhill; or, at best, keep on a level road. As I now comprehend All Light, there is no one<br \/>\nthing in all the universe that can rise of itself; but, by the external pressure of other things,<br \/>\nall tend downward, even man. To attain to be one with Jehovih is the beginning of the<br \/>\nresurrection of the individual; but he who hath attained power to resurrect others is strong<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">indeed. There are many who spasmodically resurrect others, but, alas, how few can keep<br \/>\nthem resurrected! Not only must he have the Light of Jehovih within himself, but power<br \/>\nto make others obtain the Light for themselves. Alas, I am weak!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Fragapatti said: Understand thyself, O Hoab. Be not deceived, nor short in faith to<br \/>\naccomplish; for herein lieth the key to all Wisdom and Power. Suffer not thyself to go to<br \/>\nthe other extreme, saying, man of himself can accomplish nothing. To teach a child this,<br \/>\nis to hew off its legs and arms. To teach it that it can accomplish, is to make it giant-like<br \/>\nand effective.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Hoab said: I perceive thy wisdom, O Chief. How, then, shall we find a line by which<br \/>\nwe can train this economy? If we inspire them not with faith to accomplish, they will<br \/>\naccomplish nothing; if we teach them they are dependent on Jehovih for all things, and<br \/>\nthat Jehovih doeth all things, and that no man can change his own destiny, that he is<br \/>\nmoved as a machine, then we will make nonentities of our people. On the other hand, if<br \/>\nwe inspire them that they can accomplish, it will grow upon them, and, finally, they will<br \/>\nbelieve that they do all, and Jehovih nothing. This was the mire my other kingdom ran<br \/>\ninto.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Then spake Fragapatti, saying: Thou perceivest that reason cannot solve the matter.<br \/>\nLet us, then, suspend the subject, and I will take thee to Mouru and her kingdoms, and we<br \/>\nmay obtain facts more pertinent than opinion or reason.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 14<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Upward rose the avalanza with its contrasting assemblage of the souls of Light, and<br \/>\nwith the souls of darkness, the drujas, the holy es&#8217;enaurs chanting anthems of praise and<br \/>\nthanksgiving, whilst the drujas were engaged in ______ or cursing everything in heaven<br \/>\nor earth, or in weeping and moaning, or in stupor, dull as if dead.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Fragapatti had previously sent swift messengers to Athrava and the Holy Council of<br \/>\nMouru, where had descended the Light of Jehovih, Whose voice came upon them, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Lo, my hosts come in the avalanza; prepare ye to inhabit them, thirty millions. Choose<br \/>\nye from My ethereans and My atmosphereans who shall receive the hosts of the avalanza,<br \/>\nthe nine hundred millions in darkness. Go ye, therefore, to the borders of the sea, Chewan, near the cross-roads, Tse-loo, where I have created the plains of Hoo&#8217;e&#8217;tse-gam, ample for their resurrection. And ye shall provide them houses and hospitals and<br \/>\nnurseries, suitable for them to dwell in, being ready, when the avalanza cometh, to deliver<br \/>\nthem.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Athrava and the Holy Council had responded to this, and the swift messengers in turn<br \/>\nhad informed Fragapatti of the place prepared. Accordingly, the avalanza was landed in<br \/>\nHoo&#8217;e&#8217;tse-gam, where the thirty millions were in waiting to receive them, disciplined by<br \/>\nArdi&#8217;atta, Goddess of Zhei, in etherea, first of the seven le&#8217;tas in Gom. And they had<br \/>\nten thousand trumpeters, besides other players, four thousand and two hundred.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Ardi&#8217;atta had provided the pastures in green and in red and brown, but the green she<br \/>\nhad laid near Che-wan, where the avalanza would land; hence, it was called, Hoo&#8217;e&#8217;tsegam, signifying, green for the newborn. Consequently, the drujas were delivered from the avalanza on an open green plain, neither dark nor light, suited to the diseased in mind.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Fragapatti knew Ardi&#8217;atta, for her former kingdom in etherea lay in one of his own<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">provinces, and it was easy for him to commune with her at a distance, and without<br \/>\nmessengers. So, even before the avalanza landed, he said unto her:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. I will cast the drujas on the green fields, and as fast as thou and thy hosts can<br \/>\nresuscitate them to consciousness, they shall be selected and carried into the houses and<br \/>\nnurseries thou hast provided for them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Thus was the avalanza discharged of the drujas, for the present in Haraiti, to receive<br \/>\ntreatment prior to being carried to Zeredho. And Ardi&#8217;atta and her hosts took charge of<br \/>\nthem, although more than four millions of Hoab&#8217;s hosts, also remained with them, as<br \/>\nvolunteers, to assist in the redemption.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Then Fragapatti directed the ship to be steered for Mouru, whither it arrived in due<br \/>\nseason; and there were in waiting to receive him more than one thousand million souls,<br \/>\nand they had provided musicians, one million players and singers, so that far and near it<br \/>\nwas like a sea of music.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. When Hoab looked upon the beauty and magnificence of the scene, and especially the<br \/>\ndiscipline, his soul was filled with thanks to the Great Spirit, so that he could scarce<br \/>\nspeak. And when he mastered himself a little, he said: O Chief, Fragapatti! How could<br \/>\none so exalted as thou art come to me in Zeredho! Every hour am I rebuked by myself<br \/>\nbecause of my former vanity.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Fragapatti said: To learn not to speak of one&#8217;s self, nor to think of one&#8217;s self, whether<br \/>\npraised or rebuked, is this not the right road to Jehovih? Hoab said: It is true. Therefore,<br \/>\nthe opposite, is going on the wrong road.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holy Memorial Day Book of Fragapatti Chapter 13, Chapter 14 Chapter 13 1.
