On the way to Zeredho, Fragapatti and his hosts in the avalanza were joined by a ship<br \/>\nof a thousand million explorers from the north regions, a thousand times farther than the<br \/>\nnorth star, of the seventh magnitude of light, even three higher than Fragapatti. Ctu, the<br \/>\nChief in command of the expedition, greeted in the sign, J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH\u2018S <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">N<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AME, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">the which<br \/>\nFragapatti answered; and by certain signals the ships approached and made fast, the<br \/>\nes&#8217;enaurs of the twain singing and playing the same anthem, five millions of voices, and<br \/>\nhalf as many trumpeters.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Then Ctu came near to Fragapatti, saluting, and the hosts stood in line, so they might<br \/>\nhear what was said. So, after due ceremonies, and acquainting each other who they were,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">whence they came, and such like, then spake Ctu, saying: I see thou hast thy ship<br \/>\nballasted with a north magnet?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Fragapatti said: This is but a five years&#8217;dawn, and I teach my hosts how to ballast that<br \/>\nthey may the better read the maps and roadways and stars and suns. Of these, my hosts,<br \/>\nfive hundred millions have become capable of being delivered into etherea, save in<br \/>\ncosmogony. I am providing them, that when they shall have ascended, they may not be<br \/>\nlost in the etherean worlds, or be dependent on others.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Ctu said: What is the length of this serpent? Fragapatti said: Seven and one-eighth<br \/>\nHoitumu. And he asked Ctu what distance he had come from his home; and Ctu said:<br \/>\nOne million four hundred and twelve thousand eight hundred and thirty and two<br \/>\nHoitumu!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. What time hath thy journey yet before thee? Ctu said: Five hundred thousand years!<br \/>\nThen Fragapatti inquired how many star-worlds Ctu had so far passed on his journey, and<br \/>\nCtu said: Twenty thousand star-worlds we have passed, some smaller than this red star,<br \/>\nand some ten thousand times larger. Some of them yet liquid balls of fire, some newly<br \/>\ncrusted over, some with atmosphere and water and earth and minerals not yet separated,<br \/>\nbut boiling, seething, whirling; some firm and just entering the age of se&#8217;mu; and some<br \/>\nold and worn out. And one we passed which had become barren as to living creatures;<br \/>\nand the God, through whose pastures it passed, dissolved and dissipated it before us,<br \/>\nhaving invited thousands of millions of guests to witness the scene.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Of atmospherean worlds we have passed more than ninety thousand; some of<br \/>\nthem larger than the vortex of this red star, and capable of giving homes to a<br \/>\nmillion times a million of inhabitants; and yet, on many of them, there were no people.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Thus they discoursed on the size and wonder of Jehovih&#8217;s kingdoms; but their numbers<br \/>\nand descriptions only the Gods themselves could comprehend, they were so vast; and<br \/>\nwhen they had about concluded, Ctu remarked:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. The mortal desireth to become a spirit; then his ambition is to become an etherean;<br \/>\nnext, an Orian; next, a Nirvanian; next, an Oe&#8217;tan, and then to travel in the surveys of<br \/>\nmagnitudes. But those ahead still call to us to hasten, because the glories ahead are still<br \/>\nmore surpassing in magnificence! Who, then, can approach the Unapproachable, All<br \/>\nHighest! He Who fashioned the plan of all creations! Who is there that is not swallowed<br \/>\nup with devotion and awe of Him Who is Ever Present, that extendeth beyond all limit,<br \/>\nour Father, Jehovih!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 18<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. When they drew near Zeredho, Ctu, with his ship and hosts, withdrew, duly<br \/>\nsaluting, and they sped on their journey. But Fragapatti halted on the borders of<br \/>\nZeredho and landed seven hundred millions of his hosts, the others remaining aboard.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Again the avalanza put forth. Fragapatti said: Now will I visit Yaton&#8217;te, Lord God of<br \/>\nNorth Guatama, and see what he hath accomplished, and perchance he will accompany us<br \/>\nto Ipseogee, to see Hapacha, my well-loved God of the West Wind.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Now, when they came to the sea of Ctevahwitich, they rose the avalanza fifty thousand<br \/>\nmiles, for the benefit of Hoab and his hosts, for here lieth the roadway of Tems, whither<br \/>\npass countless numbers of fleets filled with students in the dismembered warks belonging<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">to the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Here the students learn the process of condensation, and the process of dissolution of<br \/>\nmeteoric stones and small planets, such as a mortal could walk around one of them in a<br \/>\nday. On the outer extreme of this sea, the nebulae is in constant waves, where the<br \/>\nvortices play, condensing and bursting, like whirlwinds on the earth or corporeal ocean.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Here Fragapatti explained, saying: In this thou shalt behold the wisdom of Jehovih, and<br \/>\nthe uniformity of His works. Here lieth the first belt away from the earth capable of<br \/>\nhaving nebulae condensed into meteoric stones. All nebulae lying nearer than this to the<br \/>\nearth&#8217;s surface is either attracted to the earth or repulsed from it. Compute, therefore, the<br \/>\ndistance of this belt from the earth, together with its density, and thou shalt find that it is<br \/>\nthe same distance that the wark belts are, with the stars in the firmament of the size of the<br \/>\nearth, and of its density and velocity. The first wark belt of the sun is, therefore, the place<br \/>\nof its nearest planet; the second wark belt is the place of its next nearest planet, and<br \/>\nso on; and these wark belts are all graded in distance accordingly as I have spoken.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Jehovih hath said: Two ways have I created for My mathematicians to prove My<br \/>\nworks; one is, to measure that which is near at hand, in order to determine that which is<br \/>\nfar off; the other is, to observe that which is far off, in order to determine that which is<br \/>\nnear. For, since man could not measure the wark belts of this world, I provided him with<br \/>\nmeans to determine the wark belts of the sun, so that he might the better comprehend his<br \/>\nown world.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. That man might find still further evidence of the earth&#8217;s wark belts, I created the nearest<br \/>\none with different densities, so that not every year on earth would be alike as to heat and<br \/>\ncold. And in certain cycles of dan I condense the first wark belts so that the sun seemeth<br \/>\nto mortals as if in eclipse. For it is upon this belt that My cycles of dan&#8217;ha give either light<br \/>\nor darkness to mortals spiritually.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Let man compute My times for his own profit; I created the first wark to gain in<br \/>\nrotation faster than the earth, one year for every eleven. So that when the wark hath made<br \/>\ntwelve of its own years, the earth shall have completed eleven years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Fragapatti caused the avalanza to be driven in amidst a forest of whirlwinds, to<br \/>\nillustrate and to explain, so that the hosts might observe. He said: Thou shalt perceive<br \/>\nnow, that such stones as are condensed beneath the apex fall to the earth, whilst those<br \/>\nascending frequently rise toward the lighter plateau and explode, to be attracted back<br \/>\nwithin the wark belt. This belt compareth unto the cloud belt near the earth. Thither the<br \/>\nwind currents make rain-drops and snow-flakes; here the currents make the first nebulous<br \/>\nformations that come under the name corpor.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Whilst Fragapatti was thus discoursing, the avalanza rocked to and fro, and many of<br \/>\nthe people perceived now, more than ever, the knowledge and power required by angels<br \/>\nand Gods, to contend successfully with the elements. But the beauty and grandeur of<br \/>\nthese fountains, these fire-spouts, and whirlwinds on fire, together with the roar and<br \/>\nwhistling of the flying stones, so enraptured Hoab and his hosts, they could do naught but<br \/>\nlook and wonder at the glory thereof.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. For seven days and seven nights did Fragapatti and his hosts travel in this wark belt,<br \/>\nobserving and studying these miniature worlds, creating and dissipating; and on the<br \/>\neighth day the avalanza was lowered beneath the currents, and they sailed direct for the<br \/>\nkingdom of Yaton&#8217;te, Lord God of North Guatama, piloted by messengers well acquainted<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">with the course. But not being in a much frequented roadway, they encountered few ships<br \/>\nor processions of other Gods.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Yaton&#8217;te had been apprised of Fragapatti&#8217;s coming, and had accordingly notified his<br \/>\nkingdom, and summoned seventy of his Lords to his capital, which was named after<br \/>\nhimself. So Yaton&#8217;te commanded his otevan to be put in order and lighted, and having<br \/>\nprovided five hundred es&#8217;enaurs in addition to his crew, together with his Lords and ten<br \/>\nthousand attendants, went forth to the borders of Hagak, a thousand miles, to meet<br \/>\nFragapatti.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. But, lo and behold, the otevan was only as a small boat is to a ship, when compared to<br \/>\nthe avalanza. And, accordingly, when they approached each other, Fragapatti caused the<br \/>\nfront of the avalanza to be opened, and at this place the otevan entered within the walls<br \/>\nand was made fast. And the hosts of the otevan came out and were received with great joy<br \/>\nby Fragapatti and his people.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Fragapatti Chapter 17, Chapter 18 Chapter 17 1.
