When the light fell upon Cpenta-armij, the Voice of Jehovih spake through her, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. In thee whom I made God over the earth and her heavens I am well pleased; by My<br \/>\nhand hast thou raised them up; through thee have I maintained the Diva even unto this<br \/>\nday.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Thou shalt have honor in My exalted heavens because thou art the first in Spe-ta; but<br \/>\nthou shalt crown thy glory by descending to the earth and walking with mortals for the<br \/>\nterm of four years, even with My Son, Brahma. And when thy time is completed, I will<br \/>\ncome and deliver thee and Brahma.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. In My name shalt thou raise thy voice and establish Me amongst men; and I will be<br \/>\nwith thee in Wisdom and Power. Take thy attendants and proceed to thy labor; in<br \/>\nwhatsoever thou desirest of Me, call, and I will answer, for I have messengers who shall<br \/>\nlabor betwixt us.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. God then saluted, and withdrew. Next came Yima, and to him Jehovih spake, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Being one with God, thou shalt labor even as he laboreth; and thou shalt descend to the<br \/>\nearth, even to My corporeal Son, Po, who hath been prepared in My name, and with him<br \/>\nshalt thou walk the earth four years. And thou shalt speak in My name, establishing Me<br \/>\namongst mortals, to the end that My chosen shall be delivered into My kingdoms. For<br \/>\nthou shalt lead them away from the mortal kings, and teach them to know Me as their<br \/>\nonly King.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Take, then, thy attendants and go to thy labor, and at the end of four years I will<br \/>\nappoint a successor to thee, and I will deliver thee into My etherean kingdoms.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Yima then saluted and stood aside. Next came Vishnu, renowned for his labor in<br \/>\nVind&#8217;yu and her heavens. To him Jehovih said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Being one with God, thou shalt with him fulfill the completion of Spe-ta in My name.<br \/>\nTo which end thou shalt descend to the corporeal earth, even Arabin&#8217;ya, and dwell thereon<br \/>\nfor the period of four years, with My corporeal Son, Abram. With Abram shalt thou walk<br \/>\nand sojourn day and night, speaking and laboring in Me as fully as My very Self. And<br \/>\nthou shalt deliver My chosen away from the kings&#8217;peoples, teaching them to have no king<br \/>\nbut Me, their Creator. To Abram shalt thou reveal My name, J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and establish it in<br \/>\nsecret, with due rites and ceremonies. And at the end of four years will I appoint a<br \/>\nsuccessor to thee; and thee will I deliver into My emancipated worlds. Take, then, thy<br \/>\nattendants and depart to thy labor, and I will be with thee in wisdom and power. Vishnu<br \/>\nthen saluted and stood aside.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Next came Os, sent by the etherean regions of Haot-saiti to deliver the kingdoms of<br \/>\nJapan and Heleste and their heavens, but who was now relieved by the Divan successor.<br \/>\nTo Os Jehovih spake, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. In honor of thy volunteering in the days of darkness for the relief of God and his<br \/>\nkingdoms, I now create thee God of the first Spe-ta of the red star, and crown thee with<br \/>\nMine Own hand.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And, lo and behold, even with these spoken words, a light descended in the form of a<br \/>\ncrown and settled upon his head. Thereupon Jehovih said: In which I have made thee a<br \/>\nlawful Div with corporeal power.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. And thou shalt descend to the corporeal earth, even to Guatama, and walk with My<br \/>\nSon, Eawahtah, whom the loo&#8217;is have bred for My Voice, for the term of four years,<br \/>\nsojourning with him day and night, gathering together the remnants of My lost tribes, and<br \/>\nestablishing them in faith of the Great Spirit, in My name, Egoquim, suitable to the<br \/>\nutterance I have created them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And at the end of four years I will appoint a successor to thee; and thee I will restore<br \/>\ninto My etherean worlds. Take, then, thy attendants and depart to thy labor, and I will be<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">with thee in wisdom and power.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. Then Os saluted and stood aside, and the Voice departed; then Cpenta-armij, on her<br \/>\nown account, said: This hour, even now, I dissolve the Diva with honor and glory unto<br \/>\nthem. The kingdoms ye ruled over shall be my kingdoms during dawn; in the Father&#8217;s<br \/>\nname I assume them and their affairs. Peace and love and wisdom and power be with you<br \/>\nall, amen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. The four inspiring Gods then departed, and in the outer circuit of Craoshivi they had<br \/>\nin waiting, which their attendants had prepared beforehand, each one an otevan fully<br \/>\nequipped and ready, into which they embarked, with their attendants, fifty thousand each.<br \/>\nThe musicians then saluted them, even as they moved off, severally, in direct lines for the<br \/>\nearth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Cpenta-armij then lowered the light a little, and her three visiting companions, Owks,<br \/>\nHa-o-ha and See-wah-Gon, sat near her on the throne, even before her etherean Council,<br \/>\nfive hundred millions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Cpenta-armij said: I have visited the earth and her heavens, even her heavens on her<br \/>\nvery surface. By the power vested in me, I relieve from duty all Lords and Gods, and subGods, and sub-Lords, on the earth and in the heavens of the earth. This my messengers<br \/>\nwill communicate to them, commanding them, in my love and wisdom, which are one<br \/>\nwith the Father, to come at once to Craoshivi, that I may honor them and apportion them<br \/>\nfor the third resurrection, which will occur in four years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. To the Lord-dom, Maitraias, founded by Vishnu, I appoint and allot Yugsaesu Lord,<br \/>\nwith thirty millions of my etherean hosts, to be chosen by himself. Let Yugsaesu come<br \/>\nbefore me! Yugsaesu then came before Jehovih&#8217;s throne, and Cpenta-armij said unto him:<br \/>\nRepair thou unto Maitraias, taking thy hosts with thee. And when thou art come to the<br \/>\nplace, possess it in Jehovih&#8217;s name, and order it after the manner of a Lord-dom,<br \/>\nproviding sub-kingdoms unto thy place as may be required.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. And thou shalt have dominion over all angels that are already with the plateau of<br \/>\nMaitraias, or such as may be hereafter sent to thee from the other heavenly divisions and<br \/>\nfrom the earth. And thou shalt provide thy kingdom unto the service of the Father, chiefly<br \/>\nto prevent angels returning to the earth to obsess and pollute mortals. For thou shalt find<br \/>\nhundreds of millions of them who have no aspiration but destruction. Many of them<br \/>\nwere slain in wars on the earth, and are still seeking vengeance, and if escaping to<br \/>\nthe earth, obsess mortals to burn cities, and to murder, and to all manner of wickedness.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Thy labor, O Lord, is not to reform them or teach them, for I shall appoint and allot<br \/>\nothers to that end; but thou shalt labor wholly and entirely to prevent the return of<br \/>\nMaitraisans to mortals. And that thou shalt be strong before them, thou shalt draw from<br \/>\nall other heavenly kingdoms, which I shall found, a sufficient guard to enforce my<br \/>\ncommandments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. For four years shalt thou labor in this matter, and thou shalt also raise up one with thy<br \/>\nLord-dom, to be thy successor after thee. Take, then, thy hosts and go to thy labors, and<br \/>\nthe Father will be with thee in wisdom and power.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. Yugsaesu then made his selections from Cpenta-armij&#8217;s hosts, and they came and<br \/>\npassed before Jehovih&#8217;s throne, saluting, and then withdrew and went into a ship which<br \/>\nhad, likewise, been prepared for them by the proper persons, whose labor lies in that<br \/>\nmatter; and, having saluted with music, they departed, Yugaesu and his hosts, rejoicing.<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. Again Cpenta-armij spake, saying: Behold, the time is now come upon the earth when<br \/>\nI will divide and allot unto each of its several great divisions heavenly kingdoms<br \/>\naccordingly.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. To Japan, because she is a remnant of the submerged continent, I establish a heavenly<br \/>\nkingdom, and it shall be called S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">UASU<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. To Jaffeth, because she has preserved much of the first language, I establish a<br \/>\nheavenly kingdom, and it shall be called H<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">I-JEE-TSE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. To Vind&#8217;yu, because she is the most advanced in holiness of all the earth, I establish a<br \/>\nheavenly kingdom, and it shall be called V<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RI-MIJ<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. To Arabin&#8217;ya, because she is the foundation of Jehovih&#8217;s migratory hosts who shall go<br \/>\nforth around the earth, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ARADISE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. To Heleste, because she was rescued from darkness by Os in time to meet this arc, I<br \/>\nestablish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PE-TA<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. To Uropa, because she was first founded by a woman, I establish a heavenly kingdom,<br \/>\nand it shall be called H<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IMMEL<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. To South Guatama, because she is the least inhabited of all the great divisions of the<br \/>\nearth, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HDEN<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. To North Guatama, because she is the ground on which the circumscribing of the<br \/>\nearth by the different nations shall take place, where the revelations of heaven and earth<br \/>\nshall be made to man, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called K<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OSMON<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">33. To all the South Islands, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LUE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">34. To all the North Islands, I establish a heavenly kingdom, and it shall be called S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IN-YOT.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">35. Hereupon the light of Jehovih overspread Cpenta-armij, and His voice spake through<br \/>\nher, saying: To My ten heavenly kingdoms which I have made through My Daughter,<br \/>\nbehold, I choose ten Lords, and My ten Lords shall go to the kingdoms I apportion unto<br \/>\nthem. In My name shall My Lords build unto Me ten heavenly places of delight, for the<br \/>\nspirits of the dead that rise up from the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">36. And My Lords shall establish in My kingdoms places of learning and places of labor;<br \/>\nplaces for the sick and helpless angels that arise up from the earth, that My Lords shall<br \/>\nraise them up, to know Me and the glory of the worlds I have created for them; inspiring<br \/>\nthem to perfect themselves in wisdom and purity and power, that they may arise and<br \/>\ninherit My etherean heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">37. And My Lords shall appoint ashars unto mortals at the time of their corporeal birth;<br \/>\nand the said ashars shall be appointed in watch and watch, that they may relieve one<br \/>\nanother, having a time of labor and a time of rest. And My Lords shall so appoint My<br \/>\nashars that each and every ashar shall have a hundred changes of labor with a hundred<br \/>\ndifferent mortals, in order to learn all the varieties of men and women I have created.<br \/>\nAnd the number of ashars shall be equal to the number of mortals dwelling on the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">38. And My Lords shall appoint asaphs to reside in heaven, sufficient in number to<br \/>\nreceive the spirits of all who die on the earth, which they shall receive from the ashars in<br \/>\nMy name. And the asaphs shall take such angels, thus received, and place them in<br \/>\nthe regions My Lords shall have prepared for them, where there shall be sufficient<br \/>\nof teachers and nurses and physicians in My heavenly places to administer unto them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">39. And My Lords shall provide discipline to the spirits thus received, who shall be<br \/>\ntrained according to the Divan law which I established through My Gods, which shall<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">extend beyond the es&#8217;yan even to the thirtieth grade.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">40. And My Lords shall provide for them that have attained to the thirtieth grade to be<br \/>\nsent in suitable ships to this place, Craoshivi, and deliver them to My daughter, Cpentaarmij, and to her successor, God or Goddess, who shall have dominion over the whole<br \/>\nearth and her heavens.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">41. For behold, it is the nature of man on the earth to go after earthly things instead of<br \/>\nheavenly; and it is the nature of the es&#8217;yan to strive for the earth instead of My higher<br \/>\nheavens. Be ye guarded, therefore, to lay a foundation to prevent angels and mortals from<br \/>\ngoing downward; to provide inspiration to make them desire to ascend to My holy<br \/>\nregions.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">42. The Voice now departed, and Cpenta-armij spake on her own account in Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nname, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">43. Whosoever I call, let them come before Jehovih&#8217;s throne, for they shall be the Lords<br \/>\nwhom I shall anoint for the heavenly kingdoms I have established:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">44. Le-tzoo, Lord of Suasu, a heavenly place over Japan.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">45. Oe-wah, Lord of Hi-jee-tse, a heavenly place over Jaffeth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">46. Loo-gam, Lord of Vri-mij, a heavenly place over Vind&#8217;yu.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">47. Ha-kappa, Lord of Paradise, a heavenly place over Arabin&#8217;ya.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">48. Jes-Sie, Lordess of Spe-ta, a heavenly place over Heleste.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">49. Yo-han, Lord of Himmel, a heavenly place over Uropa.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">50. Hinot-tse, Lordess of Ahden, a heavenly place over South Guatama.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">51. Ami, Lordess of Kosmon, a heavenly place over North Guatama.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">52. Horam, Lord of Flue, a heavenly place over the Southern Islands.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">53. Puetse, Lordess of Sin-Yot, a heavenly place over the Northern Islands.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">54. All the angels named came before Cpenta-armij when called, and they now stood<br \/>\nabreast Jehovih&#8217;s throne, whereupon the All Light overspread the place, and the Father&#8217;s<br \/>\nVoice spake through Cpenta&#8217;armij, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">55. Ye are My Lords and Lordesses, by Me raised up and allotted your places. For four<br \/>\nyears shall ye labor, even to the end of this dawn; and ye shall provide successors to<br \/>\ntake your places after you. And herein lies your greatest glory and Mine. For they that<br \/>\nsucceed you shall hold dominion two hundred years. And they in turn shall provide<br \/>\nsuccessors after them, and so on, for these successions shall continue till the arc of Bon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">56. With Mine own hand weave I crowns, and crown you severally for my kingdoms!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">57. When these words were spoken, the now fast gathering light, of a variety of colors,<br \/>\ntook the shape of ten separate crowns, and descended on the heads of the Lords and<br \/>\nLordesses. The Voice ceased, but Cpenta-armij spake on her own account, in Jehovih&#8217;s<br \/>\nname, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">58. My Lords and Lordesses, go to your labors in the love, wisdom and power of the<br \/>\nFather, and He will be with you; and ye shall be a glory in His kingdoms. Choose ye,<br \/>\ntherefore, each and every one ten millions of my hosts, who shall go with you to your<br \/>\nplaces, to be afterward exchanged or divided, as I may direct. That ye may choose in<br \/>\norder, he who was first appointed shall choose first; the second next, and so on until ye<br \/>\nhave your chosen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">59. All these Lords and Lordesses were of the Higher Light, and knew beforehand, and<br \/>\nhad in like manner already chosen their attendants, so that at a given signal the multitudes<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">thus chosen rose up and came before the throne, forming ten groups of ten millions each.<br \/>\nAnd they at once formed in line and passed before Jehovih&#8217;s throne, saluting in the sign,<br \/>\nB<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IRTH OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">PE-TA ON THE EARTH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, and Cpenta-Armij answered in the sign, J<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EHOVIH AND THE<br \/>\nLOWER HEAVENS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">60. Cpenta-armij said: For the glory of this scene, I bequeath a day of rest, that my hosts<br \/>\nmay witness the departure of the fleets of Jehovih&#8217;s Lords and Lordesses. At once<br \/>\nthe hosts joined in a mighty chorus of thanksgiving and praise; and they went without<br \/>\nand saw the ships laden with the joyous crews; saw them set their great fleet in<br \/>\nmotion; sang and shouted to them in Jehovih&#8217;s love, for the glory of His high heavens<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter VI<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. In the beginning of the second year of Cpenta-armij in Craoshivi, messengers came<br \/>\nbefore Jehovih&#8217;s throne, saluting, and greeting from Ctusk, who now lived under the<br \/>\nname, Ahura, and submitted the following communication, to wit:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Ctusk, who hath become Ahura, a servant of Jehovih, and is now God of Ailkin by just<br \/>\njudgment of Jehovih, desireth audience with the Most High-Raised Cpenta-armij,<br \/>\nDaughter of the Great Spirit.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. To this Cpenta-armij answered: Greeting, in love to my brother, Ahura. By the Grace<br \/>\nand Power of Jehovih, come and see me, bringing thy attendants. Now, after the lapse of a<br \/>\nfew days, Ahura came to Craoshivi, attended by one million, escorted by music,<br \/>\nand proclaimed according to the discipline of the higher heavens, with heralds and<br \/>\ntrumpeters. And Cpenta-armij&#8217;s hosts received Ahura and conducted him and his hosts<br \/>\nwithin the capital chamber; and Ahura went before Jehovih&#8217;s throne, saluting on the sign,<br \/>\nS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ECOND <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LATEAU, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and Cpenta-armij answered in N<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IRVANIAN <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">R<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OAD<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ALKWATKA<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">. She said:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. In the name of the Great Spirit, Whose Daughter I am, I welcome thee in love and<br \/>\nhigh esteem. I know all thy past record, and do look upon thee as the foundation of<br \/>\none of Jehovih&#8217;s brightest suns. Long have I desired that thou shouldst petition to<br \/>\ncome to see me; and much desired I to see thee and greet thee in the Father&#8217;s name.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Ahura said: O thou Most High Chieftainess, of hundreds of thousands of years, how<br \/>\ncan I stand before thee? I know thou hast seen many truants in thy day, and watched<br \/>\ntheir course thousands of years. Thou canst see before me all that awaiteth me and<br \/>\nmine; the past and the future are as an open book before thee. That I have stood<br \/>\nbefore thee and looked upon thee, I am blessed above all things since the day of my birth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Behold, the hand of the Great Spirit hath appeared before me; I comprehend the only<br \/>\nroad that leadeth on to everlasting resurrections; I know that the O<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ERSON <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">must<br \/>\never stand as the key-note for angels and mortals. Without Him, a man is as a ship<br \/>\nwithout a rudder; the seas around about him drive him to ruin in the end. Blessed is he<br \/>\nwho hath had the experience of this in an early day of his life. Nervous and full of fear is<br \/>\nhe who hath been tried two thousand years!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Then spake Cpenta-armij, saying: I perceive thy desires, O Ahura! I understand why<br \/>\nthou art before me. Thy wisdom is great indeed. Thou perceivest that thy plateau is in the<br \/>\nsecond removal from the earth. Thou fearest that some of thy hosts will forsake Jehovih,<br \/>\nand usurp kingdoms of their own, even as thou didst in time past. Thou desirest me to<br \/>\nraise thy plateau farther away from the corporeal earth.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Ahura said: If it be Jehovih&#8217;s will, even for this purpose am I come before thee!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Now came a great light, bright, like a sun, and settled over the throne, enveloping<br \/>\nthe Goddess, Cpenta-armij, and Jehovih&#8217;s Voice spake out of the light to Ahura, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. My Son, My Son, why hast thou so little faith! Behold, I am with thee even as with<br \/>\nthis, My Daughter. All thou lackest is faith. Go thou back to thy plateau and raise thou<br \/>\nit thyself. My Daughter shall come to thee, and show thee, and thou shalt not fail. To<br \/>\nhave faith in Me is to be one with Me; to lack faith in Me is to be far removed from Me.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Ahura said: O Jehovih, teach Thou me how to begin to have faith. To find the<br \/>\nbeginning, there is my stumbling block!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. Jehovih said: By trying Me, there is the beginning. By learning to know thine own<br \/>\npower in Me; and to know My power in thee; this is the sum of all power and wisdom. By<br \/>\nthe lack of faith in Me, man setteth up himself; by the lack of faith in Me, the selfassuming Gods build kingdoms for themselves.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. The failure of man is proof of My power; the failure of all kingdoms is proof of the<br \/>\nlack of faith in Me, whereby My power is manifested over them. First, after the abjuring<br \/>\nof self, cometh the constant manifestation of power through faith, the example of which<br \/>\nholdeth the multitude to Me and My works.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. Inasmuch as thou hast suffered fear in thy soul for a relapse in thy kingdom, thou hast<br \/>\nopened the door for disaster. Have I not proved this on earth? &#8211;wherein the faith of<br \/>\na captain leadeth his soldiers on a victory, and his lack of faith breaketh them<br \/>\ndown in weakness. Think not, O Ahura, that My examples are less with My Gods.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. If, therefore, My Daughter should come to thy kingdom and raise it up, behold, she<br \/>\nwould lessen thy hosts&#8217;faith in thee. For which reason thou shalt return to Ailkin, and<br \/>\nproclaim to thy people that thou wilt raise thy plateau. And though millions of them will<br \/>\nconsider it vanity, and beyond thy power, behold, I will provide unto thee that thou shalt<br \/>\nnot fail.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Ahura said: I perceive Thy Wisdom, O Jehovih! That which Thou hast put upon me, I<br \/>\nknow I shall accomplish through Thee. The Voice departed, and Cpenta-armij spake on<br \/>\nher own account, saying: Thou shalt proclaim a day for this great work; and thou shalt<br \/>\nsend invitations to me and my hosts, and to my Gods and Lords, Goddesses and<br \/>\nLordesses. Send thou, therefore, thy surveyors and inspectors, and determine whither thou<br \/>\nwouldst raise thy plateau, and thou shalt be provided from my hosts whatever assistance<br \/>\nthou mayst need.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. Ahura then saluted, and he and his hosts departed without the capital chamber, where<br \/>\nthey rested awhile in recreation with the etherean hosts, and then they entered their ship<br \/>\nand departed, and returned to Ailkin. After which Ahura appointed the day for the<br \/>\nresurrection, and sent messengers throughout atmospherea, proclaiming what he would<br \/>\ndo, inviting Gods and Lords, with their attendants, to come and spend the day with him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Jehovih spake to Cpenta-armij, saying: Send thou thy mathematicians to estimate the<br \/>\ngrade of Ahura&#8217;s plateau; and send thy surveyors to the place he hath chosen, that thy<br \/>\nhosts may know the power required; and provide thou from thine own hosts, privily,<br \/>\nsuitable stationers that Ahura shall not fail. For, in time to come, Ahura shall be one of<br \/>\nMy greatest of Gods.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Cpenta-Armij Chapters V and VI Chapter V 1.
