The same force, vortexya, pervadeth the entire universe, but differently, according to<br \/>\nvolume, velocity and configuration.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. As previously shown, colors are not substances or things in fact, but records of currents<br \/>\nof vortexya, and are in proportion to their deviation from linear to adverse parallelism.<br \/>\nThese fall under the divisor, or multiple, 3 (primaries), yellow, blue and red,<br \/>\ncorresponding to the times, 11, 33, 99, and so on.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. The same rule was applied by the ancient prophets in music, making three primary<br \/>\nsounds, e, o, ih (the words of the wind), but giving all other sounds to the beast (66),<br \/>\nwhich was supposed to cover the number of sounds from the lowest bass to the highest<br \/>\ntreble, that could be procured from the animal creation. And these ranges of sounds are<br \/>\nmanifest in man, whether singing or talking, according to the kind of vortexian currents<br \/>\nthat fall upon a country and the grade he holdeth in resurrection. So that even a whole<br \/>\npeople in one country will utter sounds higher or lower than in another country, some<br \/>\nthrough the teeth, some in the throat, and yet others through the nose.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Sounds, as in music, are not substance, but currents of air in motion, which register<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">their broken discharges on the drum of the ear. So that it is possible for the ear to be so<br \/>\ncultivated that it can detect these velocities, so as to determine colors thereby. For, of a<br \/>\ntruth, in entity, sounds and colors are one and the same thing, but registered, one on the<br \/>\neye and one on the ear. In other words, the two organs of sense discover the same thing<br \/>\ndifferently: To one it is music, to the other it is color.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. If a man be given to reverie because of music or colors, his soul traveleth in the<br \/>\ncurrents thereof, and he becometh oblivious to his surroundings. The vortexian currents in<br \/>\nthat case pass through him uninterruptedly.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. If one instrument in a same room be played upon, and other instruments in the same<br \/>\nroom be in tune therewith, the currents of vortexya will cause the others to give off<br \/>\nsounds faintly. If said instruments be connected by wood fibers, the sounds will be<br \/>\nlouder. If the person in reverie holdeth the hands of others in the room, the same current<br \/>\nwill run through the whole. Hence music is the greatest of all harmonizers. A person may<br \/>\nbe a great lover of music, but be so discordant in his disposition as not to enter the<br \/>\necstatic state of reverie. Another person may not know how to sing three notes, but have<br \/>\nso concordant a disposition that he is at once carried into ecstasy by music, or by colors,<br \/>\nor by viewing the great harmonies of creation.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. The true prophet is such as hath attained concordance. The vortexian currents of any<br \/>\nand everything pass through him. He seeth and feeleth with his soul. He is a perpetual<br \/>\nregister of everything near at hand. And if he cultivate his talent so as to estimate results<br \/>\ntherefrom, the future and the past are as an open book to him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. That which is erroneously called instinct in animals, is the capacity to be moved by the<br \/>\npositive and negative vortexya.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Were the positive and negative currents equal in duration, the sexes born into the world<br \/>\nwould be equal in number. Males are the manifestation of positive vortexya, and females<br \/>\nnegative. The more positive the female, the less fruitful; but the opposite of this is the<br \/>\nmale&#8217;s power.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Herb-food for man cultivateth the negative condition; flesh-food for man increaseth<br \/>\nthe positive: Which is to say, flesh-food carrieth man away from prophecy; away from<br \/>\nspirituality. A nation of meat-eaters will always culminate in disbelievers in spirituality;<br \/>\nand they become addicted to corporeal passions. Such men can not understand; to them<br \/>\nthe world is vanity and vexation, if poor; or, if rich, a place to revel in for lust&#8217;s sake.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Let the prophet steer clear of them; nor marry with them; nor have anything<br \/>\nin common with them. For though a man learn all the motions and powers of the<br \/>\ncorporeal worlds, his information is still but as a drop of water compared to the ocean,<br \/>\nwhen measured by the seer and prophet that seeth the atmospherean and etherean worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 10<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. It is not the part of this book to deal with spiritual matters, only so far as enableth the<br \/>\nstudent to begin etheic knowledge.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. First, then, there are two kinds of prophecy, or two ways to prophesy. For example, the<br \/>\nant and the bee, and many animals, prophesy in regard to an approaching winter. Even<br \/>\nbirds begin to fly toward tropical regions whilst it is yet warm weather.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. These creatures prophesy by the direct action of vortexian currents upon them.<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">They feel what is approaching, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">BECAUSE THE UNSEEN CAUSE IS ALREADY UPON THEM.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Man can learn to acquire the same kind of prophecy. And this is different from the<br \/>\nprophecy herein before mentioned, because he prophesieth in this last method without<br \/>\nrules or calculations.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. To attain this kind of prophecy, the following discipline is requisite:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. To live in the fields and forests, and study the action of unseen forces upon himself;<br \/>\nto eat not fish, nor flesh, nor any food that cometh of animals; to bathe daily; to permit<br \/>\nno passion to enter his mind; to abnegate self and to wed himself to the Creator<br \/>\nfor righteousness sake, and to do good; to discipline his mind, to remain in any<br \/>\ngiven direction on any subject, for days if necessary; to become oblivious to pain. After<br \/>\nwhich he shall receive anointment from one who had previously attained the seership.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. To attain such prophecy is to forfeit sexual powers; to forfeit appetite; to forfeit<br \/>\nambition for leadership and fame; to forfeit concern for the opinions of the world. In fact,<br \/>\nto become a Bridegroom (or a Bride) to the Creator.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Not all persons can attain to this; but some are born closely allied to it.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. There is also another kind of prophecy, wherein man prophesieth by spirits speaking<br \/>\nthrough him. This is dangerous, for lying spirits may come to him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Rather, let man seek to become one with the Father, making close observations of<br \/>\nthe rules of vortexya; for in this he provideth for the development of all his faculties.<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter 11<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">RULES IN COLLEGE OF PROPHECY (PRIMARY).<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. The following signs are given in words, to wit: Flag, rising sun. Salute the East!<br \/>\nchildren of dawn. The signs are, first, the folded hands; second, the soothe, and third,<br \/>\nthe supplication. O thou setting sun! Response: In Jehovih&#8217;s name! How many chiefs<br \/>\ndwell in dawn? Response: Three or more. How stationed, O Thou High Noon? Response:<br \/>\nThe three lights are east, west and south. The smoke and fire rise from the altar!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Here followeth the <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">SECONDARY <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">(in the chamber above). The voice of the east: How are<br \/>\nthe lines of living fire, O Noon? Response: As the Sun, which is the Light of the<br \/>\nCorporeal Earth, riseth in the east to adorn the day; and ascendeth to the south at high<br \/>\nnoon as the glory thereof, and setteth in the west, so, in remembrance of Jehovih, are<br \/>\nstationed the representatives of a lodge of dawn. What is dawn? Three years or more at<br \/>\nthe youth of a cycle.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. The students then present their tables and the college is declared open in the words: In<br \/>\nJehovih&#8217;s name, give ear to the Voice.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. With Moses and Capilya both the above were merged into one lodge.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. The second began with flag at High Noon: O thou Fire of Heaven! How many chiefs<br \/>\n(rab&#8217;bahs) mark the altar of Jehovih? Four or more. Thou Setting Sun, speak: How stand<br \/>\nthe fathers? Response: My hands shield the light of the All Seeing Eye! My heart I cast to<br \/>\nthe winds! As a circle, divided into four quarters, is the symbol of the name Jehovih, thus<br \/>\n(making the signs), cloven twice across, Who hath dominion over All Things, so are the<br \/>\nfour sides of the world represented by four Fathers in the chamber of light, in The Temple<br \/>\nof Holies, which is square with east and west and north and south, for the Honor and<br \/>\nGlory of our Father in Heaven! How are they numbered? Three thirty-threes, and one<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">ninety-nine! Wherefore these signs of blood and death? They are the four heads of the<br \/>\nbeast. They are always stationed in the four corners of the lodge. Why in the four corners?<br \/>\nBecause of darkness upon them. They profess peace, but practice war. How are they<br \/>\nnumbered? One, eleven, and six hundred and sixty-six, the number of the beast. In Thy<br \/>\nname are we assembled, O Jehovih! Give us strength, wisdom and love, that we may<br \/>\navoid the fatal numbers; and that we may glorify Thee and Thy dominions. Amen!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. There is no such thing as separating science and religion. To obtain knowledge and to<br \/>\ndo good; these are valuable.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Without discipline knowledge can not be obtained; without discipline little good can be<br \/>\naccomplished. Forms and ceremonies must accompany discipline; otherwise inharmony<br \/>\novercometh all. These are religion.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. To be not puffed up with self-concern; and to be willing to become good; these are the<br \/>\nfoundations for a good prophet.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. But in all gifts, the rules of prophecy should apply. If a man be gifted in music, he<br \/>\nshould study music, and not rely wholly on inspiration (the vortexian tide). If gifted in<br \/>\nhealing he should study, and learn to apply the researches of others, and not rely wholly<br \/>\non the vortexian currents. If gifted in prophecy, he should also learn the rules of vortices<br \/>\nand planets. The combination of gifts with good learning, this is the highest.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. He that healeth by laying-on of hands, only giveth off the vortexya he hath previously<br \/>\nreceived. Let him see to it that he replenish himself by sunlight (so-called), and trees and<br \/>\nherbs and ground to walk upon. For giving away, without replenishing, will soon result in<br \/>\nnothing.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. As a young child sleeping with a very old person loseth its vortexya, becoming<br \/>\nemaciated; or as a negative husband is devoured by a positive wife; or a negative<br \/>\nwife devoured by a positive husband, so is the prophet consumed by the multitude.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. When a prophet hath attained to discharge vortexya, so as to make raps at will, he is<br \/>\nalso subject to the presence of people from the unseen worlds. And these people, spirits,<br \/>\nor angels, use this vortexya for a foundation for sar&#8217;gis.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. The ancient prophet caused the worshipers to sit in the dark, because all people give<br \/>\noff the negative current in the dark (which they received as positive in the light), and bade<br \/>\nthem sit in crescent, whilst he sat betwixt the horns. Wherefore the decrees of the prophet<br \/>\nwere called Tau. In this form of the altar the prophet was supplied somewhat with<br \/>\nvortexya by the audience.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. It cometh to this: Vortexya is unseen power, but it is without sense or judgment. Next<br \/>\nback of this standeth the life of every living thing; and next back of all standeth the<br \/>\nCreator, Jehovih. All learning, science and religion are but far-off stepping-stones to lead<br \/>\nman up to Him. To acknowledge this, and to call on him constantly, is to keep open the<br \/>\nroad to receive His hand and hear His voice.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">END OF THE BOOK OF COSMOGONY AND PROPHECY<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Cosmogony and Prophecy Chapter 9, Chapter 10, Chapter 11 Chapter 9 1.
