A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">was. A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">is. A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ever shall be. The A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">spake, and M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OTION <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">was, and is, and ever<br \/>\nshall be; and, being positive, was called He and Him. The A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OTION <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">was His speech.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. He said, I A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">! And He comprehended all things, the seen and the unseen. Nor is there<br \/>\naught in all the universe but what is part of Him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. He said, I am the soul of all; and the all that is seen is of My person and My body.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. By virtue of My presence all things are. By virtue of My presence is life. By virtue of<br \/>\nMy presence are the living brought forth into life. I am the Q<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">UICKENER<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">the M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OVER<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">the<br \/>\nC<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">REATOR<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">the D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ESTROYER<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">. <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">I am F<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IRST <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AST<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Of two apparent entities am I, nevertheless I <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AM BUT <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">O<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NE<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">. <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">These entities are the<br \/>\nU<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">NSEEN<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">which is P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OTENT<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, and the S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EEN<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">which is of itself I<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">MPOTENT<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and called<br \/>\nC<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ORPOR<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. With these two entities, in likeness thereby of Myself, made I all the living; for as the<br \/>\nlife is the potent part, so is the corporeal part the impotent part.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Chief over all that live on the earth I made Man; male and female made I them.<br \/>\nAnd that man might distinguish Me, I commanded him to give Me a name; by virtue<br \/>\nof my presence commanded I him. And man named Me not after anything in heaven<br \/>\nor on the earth. In obedience to My will named he Me after the sounds the wind<br \/>\nuttereth, and he said E &#8211; O &#8211; Ih ! Which is now pronounced Jehovih, and is written thus:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CHAPTER II.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Jehovih said: By virtue of My presence created I the seen and the unseen worlds. And I<br \/>\ncommanded man to name them; and man called the seen worlds Corpor, and the unseen<br \/>\nworlds Es; and the inhabitants of Corpor, man called corporeans. But the inhabitants<br \/>\nof Es he called sometimes es&#8217;eans and sometimes spirits, and sometimes angels.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Jehovih said: I created the earth, and fashioned it, and placed it in the firmament; and<br \/>\nby My presence brought man forth a living being. A corporeal body gave I him that he<br \/>\nmight learn corporeal things; and death I made that he might rise in the firmament and<br \/>\ninherit My etherean worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. To es I gave dominion over corpor; with es I filled all place in the firmament. But<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">corpor I made into earths and moons and stars and suns; beyond number made I them,<br \/>\nand I caused them to float in the places I allotted to them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Es I divided into two parts, and I commanded man to name them, and he called one<br \/>\netherea and the other atmospherea. These are the three kinds of worlds I created; but I<br \/>\ngave different densities to atmospherean worlds, and different densities to the etherean<br \/>\nworlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. For the substance of My etherean worlds I created Ethe, the M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OST <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">R<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ARIFIED<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle2\">. <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Out of<br \/>\nethe made I them. And I made ethe the most subtle of all created things, and gave to it<br \/>\npower and place, not only by itself, but also power to penetrate and exist within all things,<br \/>\neven in the midst of the corporeal worlds. And to ethe gave I dominion over both<br \/>\natmospherea and corpor.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. In the A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">H<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IGHEST <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">places created I the etherean worlds, and I fashioned them of all<br \/>\nshapes and sizes, similar to My corporeal worlds. But I made the etherean worlds<br \/>\ninhabitable both within and without, with entrances and exits, in arches and curves,<br \/>\nthousands of miles high and wide, and overruled I them with A<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">LL <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ERFECT <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">mechanism;<br \/>\nand in colors and movable chasms and mountains in endless change and brilliancy. To<br \/>\nthem I gave motions, and orbits and courses of their own; independent made I them, and<br \/>\nabove all other worlds in potency and majesty.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Neither created I one etherean world like another in size or density or in component<br \/>\nparts, but everyone differing from another, and with a glory matchless each in its way.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Atmospherean worlds I also created in the firmament, and I gave them places and<br \/>\norbits and courses for themselves. But atmospherean worlds I created shapeless and void<br \/>\nof fixed form, for they are in process of condensation or dissolution, being intermediate in<br \/>\ncondition betwixt My etherean and My corporeal worlds. Of three degrees of density<br \/>\ncreated I them, and I commanded man to name them, and one he called A&#8217;ji, and one<br \/>\nJi&#8217;ay, and one Nebulae.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. But all of them are composed of the same substances, being like the earth, but rarified.<br \/>\nNor is there on the earth or in it one thing, even iron, or lead, or gold, or water, or oil, or<br \/>\nstones, but the same things are in My atmospherean worlds. As I have given light to the<br \/>\nearth so have I given light to many of them; and all such have I commanded man to call<br \/>\ncomets. And even so named he them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. And I also created atmospherea around about my corporeal worlds; together made I<br \/>\nthem.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CHAPTER III.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. Thus spake Jehovih; by the light of kosmon proclaimed He these things amongst the<br \/>\nnations of the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Man looked upward in prayer, desiring to know the manner of all created things, both<br \/>\non earth and in heaven. And Jehovih answered him, saying:<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. The whirlwind made I as a sign to man of the manner of my created worlds. As thou<br \/>\nbeholdest the power of the whirlwind gathering up the dust of the earth and driving it<br \/>\ntogether, know that even so do I bring together the a&#8217;ji and ji&#8217;ay and nebulae in the<br \/>\nfirmament of heaven; by the power of the whirlwind create I the corporeal suns and<br \/>\nmoons and stars. And I commanded man to name the whirlwinds in the etherean<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">firmament, and he called them vortices and wark; according to their shape called he them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. By the power of rotation, swift driving forth in the extreme parts, condense I the<br \/>\natmospherean worlds that float in the firmament; and these become My corporeal worlds.<br \/>\nIn the midst of the vortices made I them, and by the power of the vortices I turn them on<br \/>\ntheir axes and carry them in the orbits I allotted to them. Wider than to the moons of a<br \/>\nplanet have I created the vortices, and they carry the moons also.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Around about some of My corporeal worlds have I given nebulous belts and rings, that<br \/>\nman might comprehend the rotation of My vortexan worlds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. For each and every corporeal world created I a vortex first, and by its rotation and by<br \/>\nthe places in the firmament whither it traveleth, caused I the vortex to conceive the<br \/>\ncorporeal world.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. A great vortex created I for the sun, and, within this vortex and subject to it, made I the<br \/>\nvortices of many of the corporeal worlds. The sun vortex I caused to rotate, and I gave it<br \/>\npower to carry other vortices within it. According to their density and position are they<br \/>\nthus carried forth and around about the sun.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Think not, O man, that I created the sky a barren waste, and void of use. Even as man<br \/>\nin the corporeal form is adapted to the corporeal earth, so is he in the spiritual form<br \/>\nadapted to My etherean worlds. Three great estates have I bestowed on man: the<br \/>\ncorporeal, the atmospherean, and the etherean.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Book of Jehovih\u00a0Chapters 1, 2, and 3 CHAPTER I. 1.
