When the avalanza was made fast, and the hosts come forth, many of the<br \/>\nZeredho&#8217;ans, fearing the brilliancy of the lights of Mouru, were permitted to go and<br \/>\ndwell a little way off; but the others, led by Fragapatti and Hoab, entered the capital<br \/>\ncity, and came before the throne of Jehovih, greeted by Athrava and the Holy Council.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Athrava said: In the name of Jehovih, O Chief, greeting: And to thee, O Hoab. Come<br \/>\nye, and honor the throne of Mouru.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Fragapatti said: Greeting to thee, Athrava; and to ye, most Holy Council, in the name<br \/>\nof our Father! Hoab said: Greeting, in Jehovih&#8217;s name!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And then Fragapatti and Hoab went forward and ascended the throne, and sat on<br \/>\nthe left hand of Athrava. At once the Light from the etherean worlds began to fall<br \/>\nupon the throne, and even upon the whole Council, and the light was golden yellow, the<br \/>\nmost sacred color, and brilliant. Hoab had never seen such before, and was overwhelmed<br \/>\nwith fear and delight; but many of his hosts were obliged to hide their faces.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Presently the light condensed over the throne, even whilst three thousand<br \/>\nmillions looked on, till like a very sun it stood above Fragapatti&#8217;s head. And then<br \/>\ncame the Voice of the Almighty, Jehovih, out of the midst of the light. Jehovih said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Hear the words of thy Creator, O man! I, Who created the corporeal and the es&#8217;ean<br \/>\nworlds! Behold the works of My hands! Who can find a place where I have not created!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Think not that I cannot also create a voice and words. For is this not easier than<br \/>\nto create a man who shall create words. Behold My corporeal suns amidst<br \/>\nMy corporeal star-worlds! Behold My etherean suns amidst My es&#8217;sean worlds.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. I made corporeal darkness, and I made corporeal light. I made spiritual darkness, and I<br \/>\nmade spiritual light. But I am the Light of light. I am the Word of words.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. As the wisdom of man inventeth words, so doth the light of My Light come in words to<br \/>\nthem that can bear My Light.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Behold My wisdom, O man, in creating souls out of the substance of corporeal<br \/>\ndarkness! Thus can their souls hear Me and not be afraid. But to them who become pure<br \/>\nsouls, I come openly. Their throne becometh My throne! Their voice becometh My<br \/>\nvoice. Their hosts look upon My throne, and My light shineth before My people.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Hear, then, thy Creator, O Zeredho. Thy people called to me in their darkness, but I<br \/>\ncame not. Thy hand was upon them. Thou hadst said unto them: Behold my wide<br \/>\ncountries; my mountains and valleys; my bright rivers and refreshing winds. Come ye;<br \/>\nthey are yours to keep forever!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And because thy hand was upon them, they were beset with darkness; they could not<br \/>\nfind their way out; neither beheld they more the glory of My kingdoms. Yea, thou<br \/>\nwert as a wanton going after My chosen, and thy voice luredest them away from Me!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. But I spoke in Nirvana, high above, in My thrones of light. And My Sons and<br \/>\nDaughters heard My voice. I said unto them: Lo, the red star and her heavens are fallen in<br \/>\ndarkness! Go ye to them and deliver them into a new resurrection.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Had I not spoken in the ancient days, saying: Inasmuch as ye raise up them that<br \/>\nare beneath you, so will I send them who are above down to you, to raise you up also.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. But they forgot My words; neither strove they more to raise up them that were in<br \/>\nthe hells below. And I said unto My Nirvanians: Go ye to Zeredho, for she hath enticed<br \/>\nMy holy ones away from Me. And ye shall give them a parable of compensation<br \/>\nopenly, and they shall come before My Light and hear My voice. For ye shall take them<br \/>\nto hell and cause them to deliver the drujas, through the light of My countenance;<br \/>\nand thereafter shall ye bring them to Mouru, that I may speak with them face to face.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Hear the commandments of your Creator, O ye Sons and Daughters of Zeredho, for<br \/>\nthat which I give unto ye shall be inviolate. Which is, that ye shall have dominion over<br \/>\nthe earth and her heavens for two hundred years, commencing at the close of this dawn of<br \/>\ndan.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. And thou, O Hoab, shall be God over all the rest, and thou shalt be anointed with<br \/>\npower to raise up successors with power and wisdom. Be wise, O My children, and<br \/>\nprofit ye in the wisdom of My etherean hosts whilst yet the dawn of dan remaineth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. The Voice ceased. Then spake Athrava, saying: In Thy name, O Jehovih, do I suspend<br \/>\nmyself from Thy throne till it be the will of Fragapatti and Thy will also. And he<br \/>\nrose up and stood aside. Then Fragapatti went and sat in the midst of the throne.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. Fragapatti said: I proclaim three days&#8217;recreation to the Holy Council, and to the city<br \/>\nof Mouru. Behold, my people shall mingle together as brothers and sisters, rejoicing in<br \/>\nthe Light of the Father. Be ye joyful, singing and dancing. The ascent to Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nkingdoms may be likened unto a ladder with steps, and not an even plain, and ye<br \/>\nshall call this the first step in the resurrection of the earth&#8217;s heavens in this dawn.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. The hosts then mingled together, greeting and rejoicing, for the Zeredho&#8217;ans had long<br \/>\ndesired to see the ethereans now dwelling in Mouru; and the ethereans were equally<br \/>\ndesirous of seeing the atmosphereans. Consequently, there was great rejoicing and<br \/>\nmerriment.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 16<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. When the time of recreation was ended, Fragapatti ascended the throne of Jehovih,<br \/>\nand signaled to the marshals to proclaim order and labor; and, at once, the vast multitude<br \/>\ntook their places; and, in the same instant, the es&#8217;enaurs discoursed music, with anthems,<br \/>\nthe which, when finished, was the signal for business, heavenly. Fragapatti said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Again am I about to depart, and again to leave the God of Mouru, Athrava, with you.<br \/>\nAnd Hoab, and such of his hosts as I may choose, shall go with me. For, according to the<br \/>\nrank and glory of Gods, I must now deliver Hapacha and his kingdom of Ipseogee, raised<br \/>\nup from Guatama.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Thereupon, Fragapatti descended to the foot of the throne and sat down; and Athrava,<br \/>\nGod of dawn of Mouru, came down and took him by the hand, in ancient manner, and<br \/>\nsaid: Behold, thou hast honored my throne, and the time of thy departure is upon thee.<br \/>\nArise, then, O God, and go thy way.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. And Fragapatti rose up and stood aside, and signaled for Hoab to go and be raised in<br \/>\nthe same manner; the which he did, becoming wise in the behavior of Gods toward one<br \/>\nanother.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. The marshals had filed fifty thousand attendants, besides ten thousand es&#8217;enaurs, and, at<br \/>\na signal from Fragapatti, marched forth out of the capital, followed by the hosts of Hoab<br \/>\nand one hundred thousand ethereans.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. And when they were once beyond the lights of Mouru, behold, some of the hosts of<br \/>\nHoab rejoiced, because they were better pleased to be where there was less light. Yet<br \/>\nthere were seven hundred millions of them who rejoiced not, but rather loved the light<br \/>\nmore.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Then Fragapatti said: It is well that not all are of one mind. The seven hundred millions<br \/>\nwho love the light more, shall be my traveling companions to Ipseogee. Because they are<br \/>\nstrong in light, I have work for them. But the others shall be taken back to Zeredho,<br \/>\nwhither I will also come in due time.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. And after they are settled in Zeredho, behold, I will send a God to them, and they shall<br \/>\nfound a new kingdom, in Jehovih&#8217;s name. Let all hands, therefore, enter the avalanza,<br \/>\nfollowing me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. At once the hosts entered the ship, and Fragapatti gave the word to be off, and they<br \/>\nsped forth direct for Zeredho, led by swift messengers who well knew the nearest route<br \/>\nand the lightest places. And the route taken was through the sea of Foo&#8217;witchah and the<br \/>\nOram of Haiti.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Hardly had they gotten under way, when the light of the upper heavens began to<br \/>\ndescend on Hoab, whose excitement, from the wondrous scenes, made him propitious<br \/>\nto the change; and, feeling the buoyancy of the light, he thus held forth, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. How could I forget Thee, O Jehovih? Or Thy purposes observe, and deny Thy<br \/>\ndesigns? How saw I not that at my quickening in my mother&#8217;s womb, I was the farthest<br \/>\nfrom Thee? And yet, even then, Thy breath was upon me!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And when Thou hadst fashioned me and badest me walk upright, Thou didst send Thy<br \/>\nangels to me, saying: Behold, Thy Creator liveth. Life of His Life thou art; flesh of His<br \/>\nFlesh created he thee. And He gave thee thyself in proof of Himself.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. In the earth was I conceived; housed up in darkness; of Thyself built up; nor was I of<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">myself anything under the sun.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And Thou createdst the honey-bee, and bade him speak to me for mine own<br \/>\nbenefit. He said: Behold me, O man! I am a worker. In a community I live with my<br \/>\nbrothers and sisters. I shut my eyes to things sour and bitter, and I store my house<br \/>\nwith sweet provender only. Soul of man, hear me! I am the voice of thy Creator.<br \/>\nBehold the harmony of mine house, and the provision I make for my newborn!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. And Thou createdst the ant, and bade him speak to me for mine own benefit. He said:<br \/>\nBehold me, O man! I am a worker. In a community I live with my brothers and sisters.<br \/>\nSoul of man, hear me. I am the voice of thy Creator. Behold the industry of mine house,<br \/>\nand the burdens we bear jointly into our stores.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. And Thou createdst the spider, and bade him speak to me. He said: Behold me,<br \/>\nO man! I am one with thy Creator. By the spirit of things I move; by the geometrical<br \/>\nfigures of the unseen worlds I build mine house. Think not that I reason or take<br \/>\nlessons from other spiders; I take no lessons; I move by the spirit within me, and<br \/>\nit moveth in concert with the spirit of things without. Hear me, spirit of man! There<br \/>\nare two ways to knowledge before thee; one is by the soul of things, and one by reason.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. And Thou heldest up before mine eyes continually that the unseen ruledest over the<br \/>\nseen. Then I became vain before Thee, O Jehovih! I said: When I am dead, and born a<br \/>\nspirit, then will I see the unseen, and cannot err more.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. But lo, my folly in Thy sight! When I was risen in spirit, I saw the spirit of things; but,<br \/>\nalas, the soul laid still beyond. And to me the soul was now the unseen cause, and ruler<br \/>\nover the spirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. Again Thy holy ones came from the etherean worlds, speaking to me, saying: And yet<br \/>\nbeyond the soul cometh Nirvana.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. Now have I beholden Thy crystal spheres, and Thy matchless glories. Yea, I look into<br \/>\nthis sea of Foo&#8217;witchah, whither I had often gazed before, seeing nothing then; but now,<br \/>\nbeholding ships laden with Gods and Goddesses from Thy Nirvanian fields, in higher<br \/>\nworks and worlds moving.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. And Thy Fire stirreth me to the soul, to expand to the mastery of these<br \/>\natmospherean heavens. O that I could vent the hallowed glory Thou hast bestowed<br \/>\nupon me! O that I could thank Thee for the happiness I have because Thou createdest me!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. O that I could open up the souls of men to behold Thy wondrous works, and the<br \/>\nmajesty of becoming one with Thee, Thou Almighty, Jehovih! O that they would hear me<br \/>\nand believe! O that they would not turn away from Light! O that they could learn to<br \/>\nglorify Thee every day, for the little Light and little joy they receive! How like Gods and<br \/>\nGoddesses would they become in Thy kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. But they harbor discontent; they discourse on the little they have received from Thee.<br \/>\nLike the canker-worm, that groweth to devour, they feed their sorrows by recounting<br \/>\nthem over and over. For pain they cry out; and for disappointment they weep. Yea,<br \/>\nthey feed their own darkness with darkness, and in the end forget Thee, Thou All Light!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. Hoab ceased, but gazed at the coursing ships in the atmospherean heavens;<br \/>\nwhereupon Fragapatti said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. Behold Thy wisdom, O Jehovih! Whom Thou wouldst make strong, Thou hast made<br \/>\nto feel adversity&#8217;s sting. For the emergencies that lie ahead, Thou plannest Thy Gods to<br \/>\nrun near the cliffs whereon millions perish.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. Who can attain to know Thy wisdom, O Jehovih! Who can comprehend the millions<br \/>\nof millions of Thy Sons and Daughters! And yet Thou knowest every one, and carriest<br \/>\nthem by a breath, so gently they feel Thee not, nor know Thee. To a very hair&#8217;s breadth<br \/>\nThou takest them; and in the time of desperation, Thy hand cometh to the rescue of the<br \/>\nrighteous.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Man saith: Now will I fortify myself with riches and houses, and all manner of<br \/>\npossessions; adversity shall not come upon me; I have more faith in my possessions than<br \/>\nin Jehovih. Mine is a kingdom I can see; but Jehovih is afar off.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. But Thou art suffering him, in his vanity, to go away from Thee for a season. Sooner<br \/>\nor later Thou bringest him in with a short turn; either on earth or in heaven. And he goeth<br \/>\ndown as an example to hundreds and to thousands that envied him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. Thou hast set up the poor man in faith; he toileth day and night; he is weary and sore;<br \/>\nhe crieth out with hunger; his rags are a shame to him; but he remembereth Thee, O<br \/>\nJehovih! In Thy praise he singeth a song in his soul every day. To do good unto others is<br \/>\nhis great delight.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. And Thy hand reacheth down to him in time after; his soul is like a giant. Thou hast<br \/>\nplanned him for a very God in heaven!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. The spark of faith that was in him he nurtured, and it became as a mighty tree that fell<br \/>\nnot down before the blast. The good he received he exalted, and it fructified and grew as a<br \/>\nharvest in rich soil; and he stood mighty in all places.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. In Thy praise are his songs, and they endure forever; his psalms are the voice of<br \/>\nThy loves; and the multitude of Thy people remember him, whilst all else are cut<br \/>\ndown and destroyed. Thy work hath a sure foundation; Thy Wisdom standeth before<br \/>\nman&#8217;s wisdom; not one hath found a failure in Thy word, as it speaketh to his own soul.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">33. Thy labor is from the subtle and unseen; Thy footstool the cause of causes. But the<br \/>\nvain man looketh to Thy object; he turneth Thy ways upside down; he maketh the cart to<br \/>\npush the horse. And Thou sufferest him to drink to the fill of his own vanity; and when he<br \/>\nrunneth himself into torments, Thou findest a way to reach him and bring him home to<br \/>\nThee.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">34. Great is his glory when he findeth Thee; his voice becometh the love of Thy loves<br \/>\nforever! For Thou hadst shaped him as an example, and given him scope to run his<br \/>\nextreme, for his own glory. Yea, Thou hadst planned him for one of Thy great workers,<br \/>\nthat would not go down afterward.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full Moon Book of Fragapatti Chapter 15, Chapter 16 Chapter 15 1.
