Book of Saphah Chine.Zerl., Kii<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CHINE. ZERL.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

INTERPRETATION.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. M<\/span>ASTER<\/span>: Who art thou, and thy business?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. I<\/span>NITIATE<\/span>: A weaver of fabric (or whatever labor he followeth) and lover of wisdom. I
\nhave come to learn of the wisdom of the Gods and Lords of heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. For thy labor thou art honored by the Gods and Lord of heaven. But erst thou canst
\nlearn of heaven thou shalt be proved in corporeal parts. What are the elements?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Earth, air and the other above the air.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. What is man and his destiny?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Born of the earth, earthly; freed from the earth his inner part, the soul, ascendeth and
\ndwelleth in the soul of things.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. What, shall a dead man live?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Yea, and rejoice that he so liveth. I have witnessed the souls of men returned to the
\nearth, reclothed in corporeal substance, and talked with them face to face in presence of
\nwitnesses.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Plate 79. CEREMONIES IN SUN DEGREE.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A, Master. B, initiate. C, first gate. D, second gate. F, third gate. G, fourth
\nsacrifice. I, oath of allegiance. J, place of death, represented by bones
\nand skull. K, coffin. L, proof of spirit-power to overcome pain. M,
\nsubmission to have the body run through with a lance. N, testimony
\nthat the initiate could endure all corporeal torture unharmed. This is the
\ninner circle. The outside or body of the crescent representeth the jewels
\nand places of the Gods and Lords of heaven and their mortal
\nrepresentatives, together with the tools, implements and kind of industry to
\nwhich each and every one was assigned. These constituted the audience
\nduring the ceremonies, the workers being stationed in the inner circle.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Then thou fearest not to die?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. I am in the keeping of Hong-she, Savior of man.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Who was Hong-she?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. The only begotten Son of the Unseen. He was the incarnate and spiritual Son of the
\nAll Light of heaven and earth, born of the Virgin Mi, who was descended from the far-off
\nstar, Tristya.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. For what purpose came He? And whither hath He gone?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. He was made by Great Eolin, Creator of all things, to take charge of this corporeal
\nworld, which is His, to keep it forever. He abideth still in spirit on this corporeal world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Where and when lived He?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. In the ancient days He lived in the far east.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. What was His labor?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. To do good. In Him was no evil; He was the All First who taught the power of the
\nspirit over the corporeal part. All who have faith in Him, can also work miracles, nor
\nshall such persons ever die.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. What became of Him?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. First He was bound on the wheel of Eolin; but the spirits of heaven unbound Him.<\/span>
\nThen His hands were thrust through with swords, but there was no wound. He was then
\nbound on an altar of sacrifice and burnt, but His corporeal parts would not consume, and
\nHe walked forth unharmed. Then a sword was thrust through His body, but it made no
\nwound and gave no pain. Then He was placed in a coffin and buried, but in three days he
\nrose up out of the grave and went forth preaching.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. What became of Him finally?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. He still abideth on the corporeal earth, and at times taketh on a corporeal body and
\nshoweth Himself, He and His mother Mi, also.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. What did He preach?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. To do good unto others; to harm no man, woman, nor child, and to pray only to the
\nGreat Eolin; to heal the sick by sacred words, and by motions of the hand. It is to learn
\nthese sacred words and signs that I have come to this holy temple.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Before thou canst be entrusted with such signs and words, thou shalt be proven on thy
\nGod and Savior, that thy faith be manifest. Know, then, that although thou art blindfolded
\nand seest not, yet thou art surrounded by Gods and Lords of heaven and earth, and by a
\nmortal priest most holy and powerful. If thou hast faith in thine own words, and thus
\nknowest the Son of the Sun, thou hast little to fear. Follow, therefore, thy attendants to the
\nplaces of sacrifice, that we may bear testimony that thou art holy. Remember, also, that all
\nmen must be tried, either in the corporeal world or in the next; without this there is no
\nresurrection for them.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. I trust in Thee, O my Savior, Hong-she. Let the attendants lead me forth.
\n(The initiate is then taken and bound down on the altar H. naked, and a fire lighted under
\nhim, and he thrusteth his right arm down into the flames until it be proved he hath power
\nover fire and will not burn.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. M.<\/span>: <\/span>By virtue of my power received from Hong-she, Son of the All Light, Savior of
\nmen, I pronounce E’gau (i.e., he is Gau). Release him, O ye Lords of the Heavenly Host.
\nAs the All Holy Savior of men penetrateth the corporeal part, so shall the corporeal part
\nbe divided.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. I.<\/span>: <\/span>In Thee, O my Savior, God of this corporeal world, put I my trust. Lead me forth,
\nO ye of the corporeal earth, and prove my soul.
\n(He is next led to So-an, and there a sharp blade is thrust through his hand and
\nwithdrawn, and, if proved, there is no wound nor blood.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. M.<\/span>: <\/span>By Thy Light, Hong-she, descended in Fo’e’tse, angel messenger of the corporeal
\nworld, this is my brother of Chine and legion of Zerl. But yet a greater gift hast Thou for
\nhim. Lead him forth, O ye Lords of the corporeal world, and thrust a sword through his
\nbody.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. I.<\/span>: <\/span>Go forth, O ye Lords of the corporeal world, ye know not what manner the spirit is
\nof. Forgive them, O Almighty, Hong-she, Son of Eolin, Creator of worlds. This is Thy
\nbody, this Thy blood. Let them eat and drink of them, in remembrance of Thee. Thy hand
\nwill deliver; my soul shall never die!
\n(A sword is then thrust through the body and withdrawn, but there is no wound nor
\nblood.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. I.<\/span>: <\/span>In remembrance of Him do I these things. Behold the power of faith. By faith the
\nAll Creator created.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>32. M.<\/span>: <\/span>By thy words shalt thou be proven. O ye Lords of the corporeal world, bring
\nhim sand and water and a veil. By His command shall a rose bloom in our midst.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. I.<\/span>: <\/span>O Thou, Hong-she, only first begotten Son of Du’e Mi, Mother of Eolin, Spouse of
\nthe All Light, offspring of the Creator of worlds, give me of Thy power for the blessings
\nof the corporeal world.
\n(Sand and water and a veil are brought before him, and he covereth the sand and water
\nwith the veil and repeateth thus:)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. I.<\/span>: <\/span>As Gau from nothing sprang and stood triumphant on the corporeal world;
\nso, forth, come thou, the fibre of corporeal parts, and clothe the spirit-rose mine eyes
\nbehold. (The rose or roses are then beholden, fresh grown amid the sand and water.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. M.<\/span>: <\/span>This day Thee I crown my brother He’den’loo (Magi), of the Savior empowered
\non the corporeal earth to dwell by holy land and water!
\n(The initiate then taketh of the water and sand and sprinkleth the attendants.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

36. I.<\/span>: <\/span>This is My blood and My Body, saith Hong-she, the All Quickener. Take ye of
\nthem in my name.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. T<\/span>HE <\/span>L<\/span>ORDS <\/span>(together): Behold the Es that ruleth over Corpor. Be mighty in will, O
\nchildren of men. Be wise of will, O children of men. Be all truth in will, O children of
\nmen. Be all good works, O children of men. In all your best thoughts and wise perceiving,
\nO children of men, learn from Es, the world unseen.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

38. (The Lords conduct him to the middle chamber, where he taketh the oath.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

39. I.<\/span>: <\/span>To celibacy I am sworn, for he who begetteth a child is bound in spirit, after death,
\nunto his own offspring.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

40. To the Es world I am all remembrance. To the corporeal world all forgetful
\nhenceforth forever.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

41. All vain words do I renounce; all idle laughter do I renounce; all love of corporeal
\nthings do I renounce with abhorrence.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

42. M.<\/span>: <\/span>What of the Es, the great Unseen?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

43. I.<\/span>: <\/span>Two heavens there are: one resteth on the corporeal earth; one standeth high in the
\nfirmament.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

44. Betwixt the twain lieth the bridge Chinvat, where standeth Hong-she, Savior of men.
\nBy His love can the children of men pass; by His curse must they return to the lower
\nheaven till purged of all corporeal thoughts.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

45. By the trumpet, loud sounding, of Fo’e’tses, Chief of the Heavenly Host, knowest the
\nSon of the All Light the secrets of the souls of men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

46. (The Gods (angels) stationed at the four gates now come forward and salute. Then
\ncome the Lords (angels) of the outer host, with the working tools, and, together, they sing
\nto the Great He’jo’is.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

47. M.<\/span>: <\/span>For what purpose is this coffin?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

48. I.<\/span>: <\/span>That I may be coffined and buried in the corporeal earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

49. M.<\/span>: <\/span>Let the lords of earth bury him in the name of Anra’mainyus (or Ugh’sa), the all
\ncorporeal death.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

50. The initiate is then coffined and buried, and a watch set around the grave, over which
\na veil is thrown, and in the darkness the angels unearth him and set him free. Thereupon
\nhe is bestowed with regalia and implements, and with signs and holy words, the which
\ncan not be given outside the Sun degree of Faithists. Neither can the implements and<\/span>
\nworking tools of the Lords and Gods of the outer circle be revealed save to such as have
\nbeen duly prepared by fasting and by prayer, and by a knowledge of the motions and
\npositions of the corporeal worlds. Jehovih saith: Only to the wise, the pure, and the just,
\ndo I reveal the mysteries of My kingdoms.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Plate 80. TABLET OF KII.
\nThis Tablet and ceremonies belonged to Persia, Arabia and Heleste, Greece and
\nTroy, and to the Algonquin tribes. The time was 5,200 years <\/span>\\<\/span>before kosmon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Interpreted, readeth thus:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Master: What seest thou?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Initiate: The world lieth before me. Yea, the wide earth and all its riches. The living
\nthings upon it, and in the waters, and every breathing thing, and pearls and diamonds, and
\ngold and silver; and at my hand, the rose and the lily, adorned by the Hand of Elohim.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. M.: Seest thou nothing more?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. I.: Yea, Master, the canopy of the firmament of heaven. In the midst thereof the light,
\nburning sun, propeller of the vegetable world; the glory of day, and maker of light.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. On either hand, in the vault of the firmament, countless stars, saying: In the glory
\nof our magnitude, O man, forget not Him whose finger upraised the firmament!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. M.: What more beholdest thou?<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>7. I.: The moon, who changeth her size and place according to the nightwatch of the
\nGhads who minister to the wants of mortals.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. M.: Is this all?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. I.: Nay, Master, on either side I behold a hand, one pointing upward and one
\ndownward.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. One side of the world is all light and one side all black, and the hand that pointeth
\nupward is on the light side, and the hand that pointeth downward is on the dark side.
\nHere lieth the brush that wrote, and the sacred Gau, and above them the symbol
\nof the burning candles of the ancients. Above these I behold the ark of the prophecy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. M.: Why haltest thou in thy speech? What seest thou?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. I.: Alas, O Master, above the world I behold an evil foot, black and clothed with
\nserpents.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Above the twin swords, crossed, is the sacred name, Elohim.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. M.: What seest thou in the midst of the tablet, black and as with a net woven around?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. I.: A new corporeal world, rich in growing things; sprung from the surface
\nthereof, hang the sacred signs of holy Lords and Gods, appointed by the most high
\nElohim, apprised and guarding over the morning and evening of the first days.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Here the trumpet calleth to the low earth, and to the spirits of mortals now dead,
\nto come forth, inspiring teachers in all useful labors, to the new world above.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Fabric woven in the firmament of heaven is descending to the infant a’su. Thirsting
\nfor a kingdom in the lower heaven, standeth Baugh-ghan-ghad, the tyrant of newborn
\nspirits in the lower heavens, watching the new earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. His tablet is a coffin filled with serpents’tongues. In his footpath millions of dead that
\nsang his name, to make him triumphant over Elohim, creep, accursing him in high
\nheaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. The pyramids, the temples of ancient Saviors; and the overflowing holy basin, and
\nlighted Nu’ba, candlestick of Holy Sacrifice, and the black claw, the Anra’mainyus (the
\ndevil), are cast down and gone, yea, on the earth below another God is dead. But high up
\nin the firmament, the seven sacred stars still shine, and the emblems graven by the Great
\nSpirit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. M.: What are the working tools of man born of woman? What of the Gods and angels
\nbeside Elohim?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. I.: Alas, O Master, I know not.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. My friend, since thou art learned in Gau, why comest thou to learn the signs and
\nceremonies of the ancients?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. That I may unite myself with other men, and thus become a greater power to do good
\nunto mortals.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Thou art wise. Repair now before my proper officers for further examination, and, if
\nthou art proficient, come again before me and I will conduct thee into the chamber of
\nOphra’or’jhi, and there initiate thee according to the rite of the ancients.
