Jehovih spake in the light of the throne of Gau, saying: My Son, thou has set the<br \/>\ntemples of earth wisely, and thy ten thousand Lords have the voice of thy Creator. But,<br \/>\nbehold, this dawn of dan hath but five years and two hundred days. The five years are<br \/>\nalready gone. Call together thy etherean hosts, and they shall report to thee who shall be<br \/>\nthe successors to thee and thy Lords. I answered, saying: Thy will be done, O Father!<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. So I sent messengers around about the world repeating what Jehovih had commanded.<br \/>\nAnd I added also: When the time of dan is completed, behold, my hosts shall assemble in<br \/>\nGau, from whence we shall ascend to our etherean worlds. Let my messengers invite all<br \/>\nthe people in all the kingdoms of atmospherea to be present. And these things were done.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Now, of the ten thousand kingdoms of the Lords of heaven and earth of that day, many<br \/>\nof them held their places within the corporeal temples of worship, having spiritual thrones<br \/>\nwithin them, where the hosts of angels assembled to counsel on the affairs of mortals, and<br \/>\nto advise with them through the prophets and seers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Neither was there a temple in all the world for consulting the spirits and Gods but what<br \/>\nwas usurped by my etherean hosts. So that when kings or queens came to consult the<br \/>\noracle on matters of war or personal aggrandizement, my hosts answered them not to their<br \/>\nown profit, but with the voice of Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. So it turned out, that when the chief false Gods and false Lords were driven out of the<br \/>\ncorporeal temples, they lost interest in mortal affairs. And I classified them and made new<br \/>\nkingdoms in the lower heaven for them, forming them into confederacies. And they, too,<br \/>\nbecame earnest workers to establish themselves in harmony, symmetry and music. And at<br \/>\nthe end of the time of hi&#8217;dan there was not one false God nor false Lord in atmospherea.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 7<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Apollo said: Hear the decrees of Jehovih, O ye Gods and Lords: I, His Son, God of<br \/>\nthree worlds, speak! In my speech lieth the wisdom of Time; the evidence of fifty<br \/>\nthousand years. Here is a great matter, O ye Gods; answer it, O ye Lords of heaven and<br \/>\nearth: A child learneth from that which is around about; a man learneth from that which is<br \/>\naround about; a God and a Lord learn from that which is around about. Neither can they<br \/>\nacquire anything more, forever. Jehovih saith:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. I have decreed the breaking up of old foundations; in new creations I provide food for<br \/>\nthe souls of Gods and men.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Apollo said: To condense and to expand; to expand and to condense, is this all? Who<br \/>\nshall fashion a corporeal world by compressing ether? or, by standing still, expand his<br \/>\nown soul? How long will they be entailed with idle desires, and self-ease, and self-glory?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Jehovih saith: When the lower heaven turneth into itself, it soon turneth downward,<br \/>\nalso. And its cast moldeth the earth-born. Look to it, O My sons and daughters, that ye<br \/>\npreserve the high estate of heaven. Apollo said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. To be a God is not all; to be a Lord is not all; ye shall forever invent new stratagems in<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s kingdoms. Your people shall be forever infatuated with continual surprises, or<br \/>\nyour kingdoms in heaven will go down.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Jehovih saith: Behold, I created man, and if he rest constantly, disease shall seize on<br \/>\nhis life parts. The kingdoms of men on earth that lack aspiration for the people shall bring<br \/>\ndestruction; to the kingdoms in the lower heaven, the lack of invented, new glories, shall<br \/>\nbreed up false Gods and false Lords.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Apollo said: To be a weak man, is nothing; to be a weak king, is nothing; to be a weak<br \/>\nGod, is nothing; but to be strong with Jehovih, furnisheth food for the kingdoms of men<br \/>\nand angels. Think not, ye Gods and Lords, that to be a good God is easy, or to be a good<br \/>\nLord is easy, or to be a good corporeal king is easy. He who ruleth in heavenly kingdoms,<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">must forever furnish food for the souls of angels and men.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. I, Apollo, Son of Jehovih, will give you a parable suitable for Gods and kings: A<br \/>\nmultitude go into a forest; one man goeth a little before the rest, and he calleth: Here!<br \/>\nHere! Then he goeth a little further, and he calleth: Here! Here! And the multitude follow.<br \/>\nWhereon, ye reason well, saying: If the leader go too fast for the multitude, they will not<br \/>\nfollow; and if he go not fast enough, they cannot follow. Wherein, of the last condition,<br \/>\nanarchy ensueth, and new leaders are chosen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. And these conditions follow all peoples on earth, and in the lower heavens. But the<br \/>\nglory of the emancipated heavens, in etherea, lieth in the development of every soul into<br \/>\nripeness and bloom, with none too fast nor too slow, but all as one, and one with Jehovih.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Is not this the testimony of the All Person: A ruler of a city; a ruler of a state; a ruler<br \/>\nof a kingdom? Without a head to lead, and to govern, what people have been found?<br \/>\nWithout a God and Lords, and kingdoms in heaven, what angels are found? Strollers,<br \/>\nbeggars, drujas and vampires. He who setteth himself up against the king, what is he? He<br \/>\nwho setteth himself up against the All Person, what is he? Where is the fruit he hath<br \/>\nbrought to market?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. His speech is cunning in denial; his arguments for liberty, the bait of hada. He crieth<br \/>\nout, in justification of his mutiny: Liberty! Liberty! But he leadeth to inharmony and<br \/>\ndarkness. After that, he rusheth to the front, crying out: Follow me! follow me! I will lead<br \/>\nto truth and light. And he himself becometh a God, but in falsehood, even as by falsehood<br \/>\nhe denied the true God.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. A great fact declare I unto you, O Gods and Lords: A line lieth betwixt the man who<br \/>\nhath too much opinion of his own, and he who hath no opinion at all. One is to be pitied,<br \/>\nthe other censured. Which, judge ye, do the Gods pity of these two, and which censure?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. None could answer Apollo. So he spake further, saying: Pity ye him who hath too<br \/>\nmuch opinion of his own; for of all men he standest the farthest from Jehovih. But the<br \/>\nwise man and wise angel follow the median line betwixt the two. Herein lieth the<br \/>\nharmony of a man&#8217;s soul.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Apollo, Son of Jehovih Chapter 6, Chapter 7 Chapter 6 1.
