Book of Cosmogony and Prophecy Chapter 7, Chapter 8<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 7<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Having shown the impossibility of philosophy based on corporeal knowledge to
\ndemonstrate truth in regard to unseen things, and in regard to planets distant from the
\nearth, it becometh a part of these revelations to put the student in the way to learn from
\nthe unseen forces which govern all corporeal things, man included, as a general and
\nimportant part.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. When a heavy stone falleth on a man and holdeth him down, it is sufficient to say the
\nstone ruleth over the man. If an epidemic come upon a city because of uncleanness, it is
\nwell to consider that cause also. Nevertheless, if an epidemic be periodical to a certain
\ncity, even when not unclean, it is wise to prophesy an unseen cause. The same rule
\napplieth in comparing one locality with another.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. In certain regions of the earth, certain diseases are common; in certain times of the
\nearth, as to cycles of three thousand years, certain diseases were common. In certain
\nplaces of the earth man hath at times, thousands of years ago, attained to great knowledge
\nand virtue. But his whole country in after centuries became a wilderness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. It is not the place of a prophet to answer these things by the accusation of ignorance or
\nwar. The prophet must account for that tendency in man to fall into ignorance and into
\nwar. In other words, he must find the cause of causes.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. At certain periods of time, for hundreds of years, nations have dwelt in peace, and have
\nrisen in virtue; then turned to war within themselves and gone down in death.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The prophets of old divided time into cycles of three thousand years, with slight
\nvariations. And they found that at such periods of time, some certain impulse came upon
\nthe people, causing them to try to be better and wiser. Even as the same feeling is this day
\nmanifesting itself in many nations.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. The scale then riseth for four hundred years, more or less; and, after that, wars and
\nepidemics come upon the people. They begin then to decline, especially in virtue and
\npeace, but the general intelligence suffereth little for about another six or seven hundred
\nyears. After which time they destroy their libraries and records, and reduce themselves to
\nignorance and vice. Then followeth a darkness of one thousand or more years, with slight
\nintermissions. In other six hundred years the corporeal senses begin to ascend. Self-conceit cometh upon them; they think they are the beginning of wisdom on earth. Then cometh another cycle of light. Angels descend from the unseen worlds. New revelations
\ncrop out in every quarter. Inspiration cometh upon mortals, and they go to the opposite
\nextreme; superstition and obedience to unseen influences.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>8. Such, then, is the general character and behavior of man during a cycle. And he riseth
\nand falleth in all these particulars as regularly as the tides of the ocean.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. That man may begin to comprehend these things, and learn to classify them so as to
\nrise in wisdom and virtue, and thus overcome these epidemic seasons of cycles, these
\nrevelations are chiefly made.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. As previously shown, there are positive and negative forces forever going to and
\nescaping from the earth. Without these no creature could live on the earth. The negative
\nimparteth to man his corporeal growth, and corporeal desires, passions, and so on.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. According to the corpor solutions in the firmament and their precipitations to
\nthe earth, as to quantity and quality, so will man be affected and inclined to manifest.
\nThese influences are easily discernible by some persons. One is depressed by a dull day;
\nanother inclined to drunkenness and fighting. By a bright day man is inspired to energy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. A su’is is so susceptible to vortexian currents, he can realize the qualities of a
\nmedicine whilst it is yet in a glass bottle, by merely holding it in his hand; or know the
\ncharacter of the writer of a letter by holding the letter in his hand. Yet all this is
\naccomplished by the vortexian current of the article in question.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. These revelations however are not in reference to individuals, but to nations
\nand peoples, in periods of time embracing hundreds of years, and thousands of years.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. It is an error to say whilst the corporeal worlds are organized, with fixed orbits and
\nuses, the unseen worlds are nothing, or at best not organized. They are organized, with
\norbits, places, forms, figures, and so on, as definitely as are the corporeal worlds. Their
\ntimes and seasons are regular and well provided.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. In the passage of the earth in its own roadway, it goeth amongst these etherean and
\natmospherean worlds regularly; so that the periods of inspiration, and periods of darkness,
\nare not haphazard.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. It is not the purpose of these revelations to work out prophecies, leaving nothing for
\nman to do. But to call his attention to the unseen forces that rule on the earth, and show
\nhim the way to make the prophecies himself.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. In orachnebuahgalah the student will draw a curved line, representing the travel of the
\ngreat serpent for three thousand years. This shall be cut across in eight places, to represent
\nthe periods of light. The places between them shall be made dark and light according to
\nthe history of man’s behavior during said three thousand years. War shall be represented
\nby black. The duration of wars shall be marked with a cut called change. Numbers shall
\ndesignate the degrees of historical manifestations. For every great division of the earth
\nmake one orachnebuahgalah. The scale should be from one to a thousand for the entire
\nlength; and from one to a thousand from one dawn to another, and from one to a thousand
\nfor each and every characteristic designated. Number man 1 and 33, and the moon 1 and
\n18; and number the earth 1 and 365. These were called by the ancients the grades of a
\nthousand (So-e-cen-ti).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. These periods will be found to come under certain numbers, 11, 33, 66, 99, 100, 200,
\n400, 666, 333, 66, 18, 500, 600, 365, 99, 33, 18, and so on. (Not that the numbers, as
\nsuch, have anything to do with such matters.) Thus, the moon’s time is 18, the earth’s 365,
\na generation 33, dan 200, 400, 600, 500; nitrogen or darkness 66 and 666, and so on.
\nFor which reason the following tables of times and measurements were established:<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 8<\/span>
\n<\/span>1. Let ethe stand as one; ji’ay as two; a’ji as three, and corpor as four. To ethe give motion
\none hundred, or ninety-nine (as the case may be); to corpor give zero, that is, no motion
\n(of itself); to ji’ay give sixty-six; to a’ji give thirty-three.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Ethe, being the time of light, is named dan; ji’ay, the time of fevers, epidemics,
\nplagues; and a’ji the time of wars, dashing forth with power and grasping; mi, the earth
\nbeing the subject.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>3. There is still another period to all corporeal worlds, <\/span>LUTS. <\/span>In the time of luts there falleth
\non a planet condensed earthy substances, as clay, stones, ashes, molten metals
\ndisseminated, and so on, in such great quantities that it can be compared to snow-storms,
\npiling up corporeal substance on the earth in places to a depth of many feet, and in drifts
\nto hundreds of feet.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Luts was by some ancient prophets called <\/span>UZ , <\/span>because it was a time of destruction. If
\nluts followed soon after a se’muan period, when portions of the earth were covered with
\nse’mu and rank vegetation, it charred them, penetrating and covering them up. Thus were
\nmade, for the most part, the coal-beds and oil-beds in the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Luts belongeth more to an early age of a planet, when its vortex is more extended, and
\nwhen the nebulous clouds in its outer belt are subject to condensation, so as to rain down
\non the earth these corporeal showers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. The time of dan is the opposite of this; and although it is the time of spirituality
\namongst mortals, and the time of prophecy and inspiration, yet it is the time the earth is
\nrapidly giving off its life force, and its moisture; rapidly growing old.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Consequently the two most important periods for the prophet’s consideration come
\nwithin thirty-three and sixty-six, or, as they of old said, man and beast. In which measure
\nman is divided into two parts (man and beast), and there is ever a percentage in his
\nbehavior inclining to one or the other, and they correspond to the vortexian currents of the
\nearth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. The student must not consider merely individuals, but nations and peoples belonging to
\ncontinents. And the relationship that cometh of a’ji or dan, or their percentage, must have
\nreference to such nations or peoples as manifest to its influence.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Thus, suppose a grade to run below thirty-three, but not as low as twenty-two, and such
\na people fall under a’ji for a period of sixty-six years, or even more, war, destruction,
\ndeath and lust will come upon that people. But suppose the same fall of a’ji come upon a
\npeople graded above thirty-three, to sixty-six, war and intellect, with oratory, music and
\nremarkable men of genius will result. But, to carry it still further, the same fall of a’ji
\ncoming on a people above sixty-six, they will manifest in multitudinous Lords, Gods and
\nSaviors, and in superstitions, rites and ceremonies, which will all more or less pertain to
\nsexualisms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. The prophet is thus enabled to determine, by the vortexian currents, the rise and fall
\nof nations, and to comprehend how differently even the same showers and shadows
\nof the unseen worlds will affect different peoples. And the same rules apply in the
\nmanifestation of dan; according to the grade of a people, so will they receive its light. If
\nbelow thirty-three, they will become magicians and prophets without virtue; if above
\nthirty-three, but below sixty-six, they will become self-opinionated malefactors, running
\ninto licentiousness for self-sake. But if above sixty-six, they will become true prophets,
\nabnegating self for sake of righteousness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Let the student compare the Faithists of Capilya in India with the Cojuans of the
\nsame country; and the Faithists of Moses in Egupt with the Eguptians of the same
\ncountry. The Faithists of both countries advanced, but their persecutors both went down
\nto destruction. The peace of the Faithists held four hundred years; and then both peoples
\nbegan to choose kings, which was followed by nine hundred and ninety years of darkness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. So that whether the vortices show approaching light or approaching darkness the<\/span>
\nprophet must bear in mind the grades of peoples. Any given light amongst mortals as to
\nthe past, will thus show the date of its occurrence; whilst the heavenly lights will equally
\nforeshow what will come upon any people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. It is not sufficient for man to know how to prophesy; but to learn how to overcome
\nthe elements of his surroundings. As previously set forth, there are regions of drought on
\nthe earth, which man must learn to overcome, by causing rains to fall. He shall provide
\nexplosive gases high up in the air, which shall break the wind currents, establishing
\nvortices from the upper regions downward.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. And when an epidemic is prophesied to a city, man shall dissipate the falling se’mu,
\nand thus save it from destruction.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. The inoculation, or vaccination, of flesh with poison, to save it from poison, is to use
\nthe battle-ax of satan. Man shall learn the higher law; to save by virtue instead of vice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. As to the grades, the student is referred to the Book of Es.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Prophecy is not guess-work. Absolute rules govern all things. A few individuals in a
\nnation, or of a people, are a small matter. Nor must the prophet swerve one jot or tittle by
\nthe pretensions of a people. As for example: the Brahmans, the Buddhists, the
\nMohammedans and the Christians, all profess faith in their respective Gods and
\nSaviors; but their professions are false. Their faith is in soldiers and standing armies,
\nand in implements of destruction. The prophet must not, therefore, suffer himself to
\nhearken to individual explanations. He must grade them in their entirety; whether
\nthey manifest below thirty-three, or above sixty-six, without regard to pretensions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. When the student hath completed his tables of orachnebuahgalah, with the history of
\nthe period, and taken the measure of grades of the different nations and peoples of the
\nearth, he will find that he can not only foretell the future, but he can discover the past
\nhistory for an equally long period of time.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. And when he hath thus completed two cycles, he can find a third, and then a fourth,
\nand so on, until all the past history of the earth is delivered up to his understanding.
