Book of Thor, Son of Jehovih, Chapter 5, Chapter 6<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Peace and prosperity were established on earth and in heaven by the time of the
\nexpiration of the dawn of Thor. And now came the time for his own ascent, with his
\nhosts, leaving the earth and her heavens in care of God and his Lords.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. So Thor, Son of Jehovih, sent swift messengers to etherea, asking to be delivered; and
\nasking for the deliverance of six thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms to Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. See We’ing, Goddess of Hotosk, in etherea, was appointed by the Council in Buru, to
\ndescend for Thor and his hosts, and his six thousand millions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Accordingly, See We’ing built her ship and gathered in her hosts for the journey,
\nher ten millions. This, then, was the make of her ship, which she named Harp, to wit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. The photosphere was flat to the north and south, but oval east and west; the openings
\nwere on the flat sides, with passages through. The crescent described a circle of three
\nthousand four hundred miles, and the depth of the harp north and south was three hundred
\nmiles. The pillars of fire that ascended from the midst were one thousand seven hundred
\nmiles high.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The stars within the photosphere were provided with five points; and each star had one
\nmillion chambers, one chamber being allotted as the habitation of one Bride or
\nBridegroom; and there were seven thousand of these stars.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. The frame-work was crystalline, and opaque, and transparent, and of all possible
\ncolors, and shades, and tints. Now, besides the stars and their chambers, the base of the
\ncrescent was provided with a salon sufficient for one million musicians, and they were
\nthus situated.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. God had knowledge of the coming of See We’ing, and had commanded information to
\nbe sent throughout atmospherea, and to the Lords located on earth, inviting all who chose,
\nto come and witness the ascent. And there came, besides the Brides and Bridegrooms,
\ntwo thousand million angels; many not yet delivered from the first resurrection.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. So it came to pass, See We’ing, Goddess of Hotosk, came down in her ship of fire,
\neven to the foundation of Gau; came in great magnificence, and was received by Thor and
\nby God and His Lords.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And she ascended the throne, and performed the marriage rite for the six thousand
\nmillions. And after that a recreation of one day was proclaimed in Gau, during which time
\nthe atmosphereans and ethereans mingled freely together.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. On the day following, Thor accompanied See We’ing into her ship; and their hosts
\nwent in also, being nearly seven thousand millions. And then, amidst a rain of etherean
\nflowers, See We’ing started her fire ship upward.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. God and his hosts remaining in Gau saluted in the sign, J<\/span>EHOVIH FOREVER<\/span>! Which was
\nproperly answered by the ascending millions.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>13. Then on its axis turned the great ship, rising and turning, higher and higher. And in a
\nlittle while only an ascending star was seen, and then it disappeared in the distance.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Thus fulfilled Thor his great mission in dawn to the earth and her heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 6<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Again the earth and heaven prospered for another season of two hundred years, and the
\nnext dan there were delivered five thousand million souls. And new Gods and Lords
\nsucceeded; and they also prospered, but not so well. The next harvest was four thousand
\nmillion souls.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. But, again, false Lords and false Gods began to set up kingdoms of their own, in
\nheaven, and in the cities of mortals. And, lo and behold, every one called himself either
\nThor or Apollo. And the spirits who manifested in the temples, and for the oracles, all
\ngave one of these names. And mortals who were obsessed, believed themselves to be the
\nre-incarnation of Apollo or Thor; and the obsessing spirits so called themselves. Others,
\nmore intelligent, said: Have not the prophets foretold there was to be a second coming
\nof Apollo? And are not these spirits, who appear through the sar’gis, the very person?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. So great became the superstition of the nations of the earth, that in the fall of a leaf they
\nfound proof of the second coming of Apollo or Thor. Many of the spirits deserted the
\nsecond resurrection, in heaven, and returned to the earth, to wait for information
\nconcerning the coming event, as they supposed, though there was no event coming.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Jehovih said: All corporeal worlds pass through the age of too much belief. As I
\ngave to man judgment, that he might examine and weigh a matter, so runneth he into
\nunbelief. Then My angels go to him and show him wherein he believed too little; but,
\nlo, he goeth to the other extreme, believing all things, and not using his judgment.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. God said: Why will not men and angels be patient, and wait till a matter is
\nproven meritorious before they pursue it to extremes? The same sun shineth, the same
\nstars stand in the heavens, and the earth traveleth steadily on her way; yea, her
\nwinds blow, her summers and winters come as in the olden time, yet man setteth up
\nthat a great wonder is near at hand. And no wonder cometh, and nothing new is near.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. How shall I stay them, O Jehovih? Their desires for Apollo call down millions of
\nspirits from my places of resurrection. And in trials and hardships they fall, and become
\nsuitable prey for designing false Gods and false Lords.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. But there came no other salutation than the echo of God’s own words. So God and his
\nLords bewailed the darkness of earth and her heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. But high up in the etherean heavens, came the Light of Jehovih; came the Voice of
\nJehovih, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Hear your Creator, O ye Gods and Goddesses! Behold the magnitude of My works! I
\nlabor not for the profit of this man or that man; nay, nor for this people nor that people;
\nnor for the inhabitants of one star and one heaven; but for the glory of millions of stars
\nand millions of heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Doth not one corporeal man bewail a shower of rain? and yet, his neighbor
\nrejoiceth thereat. One man prayeth for sunshine, and another for shade. Think not that I
\nlabor for each one separately, but for the perfection of the whole. Wherefore, then, shall
\nthe God of earth and his Lords bewail the darkness that falleth on the earth in this day?<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>11. I have prepared places of darkness in the etherean firmament, and places of light; and
\nMy corporeal worlds must travel through them, for so I created them. And these places of
\ndarkness and places of light are as changes of seasons for My harvests.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Now doth the earth pass in deep darkness, for I fructify the races of men in new
\ngrowth, corporeally, for things that shall come after. As they absorb from the a’ji of
\nMy places, in this age, so, also, do their souls become full of superstition and darkness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Thus went the earth into great darkness during the last six hundred years of the cycle
\nof Thor, and there was no harvest from her for the etherean heavens. But the spirits
\ndeserted atmospherea in millions and millions, and went down to the earth, to dwell with
\nmortals, and to find places on the corporeal earth where to live.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. And, save to the I’hins, the Light of Jehovih was shut out from men; thus ambition for
\nimprovement was at an end; they became as drones and vagabonds; and, when they died,
\ntheir spirits continued to lie about in the places of their mortal life. And many of these
\nspirits persuaded mortals to suicide, and they killed themselves by thousands and tens of
\nthousands. Nor was there courage more amongst men to endure anything under the sun.
\nThey wanted to be with the spirits of the dead, to talk with them, to see them, and to be
\nrid of earth trials.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Neither had the spirits that congregated on earth any knowledge of the higher
\nheavens; nor could they impart knowledge as to where they dwelt, or how they employed
\ntheir time, for, in fact, they did nothing useful to heaven or earth, nor even to themselves.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Thus ended the cycle of Thor; and it was three thousand two hundred years.
