When the temple was completed, and the king and his four high priests entered into the<br \/>\nHoly Chamber, the false Osiris, through his servant God, Egupt, came in sar&#8217;gis, and<br \/>\nspake unto the king, saying: Here am I, O king!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Thothma said: My labor is well recompensed. That thou hast come to me, O Lord<br \/>\nmy God, I am blessed. Osiris said: Keep holy my chambers; suffer no man, nor<br \/>\nwoman, nor child, that dwelleth on the face of the earth, to know the mysteries of<br \/>\nthese, my holies, save and except my adepts. Here layeth the key of everlasting life.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. Thothma said: How sayest thou, the key of everlasting life? Osiris said: Herein is that<br \/>\nwhich is of good and evil, as I commanded thy forefathers; to eat whereof man shall<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">become as Gods, and live forever. For this is the triumph of man over death, even for<br \/>\nwhich I created him on the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Thothma said: Shall only we five know these things? Osiris said: Nay, verily; else<br \/>\nthe light of my kingdom would not be full. Behold, thou, how I built the temple! Was<br \/>\nit not in the keeping of adepts? So, then, as I have given unto thee to know my<br \/>\nkingdom, thou shalt give unto others, not suffering these lights to come, save through<br \/>\nmy commandments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. Now in the second month after the temple was completed, Thothma, the king, having<br \/>\nput the affairs of his kingdom in order, went into the H<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OLY <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HAMBER<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, and thence<br \/>\nascended into the C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HAMBER OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IFE AND <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">D<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">EATH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, leaving the four chief priests in the Holy<br \/>\nChamber. And Thothma <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CAST HIMSELF IN DEATH <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">(dormancy) by swallowing his tongue.<br \/>\nWhereupon the priests closed the entrance and sealed the king within.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Osiris, through his servant God, Egupt, said unto the priests: One alone shall remain; in<br \/>\nquarter-watch shall ye dwell within the Holy Chamber, and I will remain also. And the<br \/>\npriests cast lots, and divided the watch in six hours each, unto every day. And Osiris sent<br \/>\nBaal to the spirit of Thothma, and took him to Agho&#8217;aden, Osiris&#8217;heavenly place, showing<br \/>\nthe spirit unto the glory of the throne, saying: Behold the God of Gods. Thothma said: It<br \/>\nis a great glory; lo, mine eyes are blinded by the light of the Lord my God. After this, Baal<br \/>\ntook the soul of Thothma into a thousand heavenly places in Osiris&#8217;kingdom, and showed<br \/>\nhim the glory thereof.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. Thothma said unto Baal: Thou angel of God, thou hast shown me, of a truth, God is in<br \/>\nthe image of man. Nor is there any but one God, who ruleth over all.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Baal said: How sayest thou then; who is God? Thothma said: How sayest thou? For<br \/>\nbehold, his glory was so great I could not look upon him.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. Then answered Baal, saying: Only angels and mortals; these are the sum of all things.<br \/>\nHe, thou hast looked upon, was even as thou art; a one-time mortal on a far-off starworld. He attained unto the Godhead, to create a world unto himself, even as thou, who<br \/>\nart an adept, canst create flowers and plants and serpents. Thus he came into the void<br \/>\nregions of space and created the earth and her heavens, and they belong unto him, for they<br \/>\nare his. And in like manner is every star-world, created and ruled by a God like unto thy<br \/>\nGod, who is Lord of all.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. Thothma said: O that all people knew these things! O that I may remember them<br \/>\nwhen I am returned to earth. Baal said: More than this shalt thou remember; for I will<br \/>\nnow take thee to the hells of the idolaters and the Jehovihians. Baal then took the soul of<br \/>\nThothma to the hells of De&#8217;yus, and showed him the horrors thereof. But he took him not<br \/>\nto the regions of God, in Craoshivi.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Now when Thothma had traveled in heaven for thirty days, Baal brought his spirit<br \/>\nback to the Chamber of Death, and showed him how to regain his corporeal part, the<br \/>\nwhich he did. And then Baal signaled unto Egupt, and the latter spake to the priest on<br \/>\nwatch, saying: Behold, Thothma hath returned; go thou and fetch thy brother, and deliver<br \/>\nhim into the Holy Chamber.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And when they came they unloosed the sealing stones and delivered the king into the<br \/>\nHoly Chamber, and he was awake from his trance, and remembered all he had seen in<br \/>\nheaven, which he related to the high priests who were with him. And both Baal and Egupt<br \/>\ncame in sar&#8217;gis and talked in the Holy Chamber with Thothma and the priests. For one<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">day the king remained in the Holy Chamber, that his spirit be reconciled to the flesh; and<br \/>\non the next day he and the priests came forth out of the temple and sealed the door<br \/>\nthereof, and placed the king&#8217;s guard in charge, that no man or woman might molest the<br \/>\nplace. Now Thothma had been in the death trance forty days.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">13. The three angels, Egupt, Baal and Ashtaroth, came into the altar in the king&#8217;s palace<br \/>\nthat night, and showed themselves to the college students who had attained <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ADEPT. <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">Baal<br \/>\nspake orally before them, directing his words to the king, saying: Behold, I am the angel<br \/>\nof God thy Lord, whom thou hast beholden in heaven; I am the same who traveled in<br \/>\nheaven with thee. What I speak, I say in the name of the Lord our God, whose servant I<br \/>\nam. On the morrow shall thy high priests draw lots, and one of them shall enter the<br \/>\nChamber of Holies, in the Osirian Temple, and do even as thou hast. And after him,<br \/>\nbehold, another of the high priests shall do likewise; and so on, until the four have had<br \/>\nthy experience.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">14. And it came to pass that the four priests in turn <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CAST THEMSELVES IN DEATH, <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">and visited<br \/>\nOsiris&#8217;heavenly kingdoms, and also many of the hells of De&#8217;yus, being led in spirit by<br \/>\nBaal or Ashtaroth, Egupt being the guardian God of the temple.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">15. When they had thus accumulated the same knowledge of heaven and earth, the five of<br \/>\nthem were of one mind as to attaining life everlasting in the corporeal body. Osiris said:<br \/>\nBehold, I will bring many back who are already dead; and they shall call unto their<br \/>\nembalmed bodies and wake them up and inhabit them. Go ye, then, to the root of the<br \/>\nmatter, and prepare my people, for I will come in person and inhabit the temple ye have<br \/>\nbuilt; and my heavenly kingdom shall descend even to the earth. Prepare ye the C<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OLUMN<br \/>\nOF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">TARS<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">16. Thothma built a column to the east line of the slat, seven lengths, and the height was<br \/>\nthirty-six lengths; of wood and stone built he it, with an opening from the bottom to the<br \/>\ntop, and the width of the opening was six lengths. In the walls thereof was a winding<br \/>\nstairway, and there were windows looking out to the east and west and north and south,<br \/>\nthat the stars from every quarter might be observed. On the summit of the column were<br \/>\ndwelling-places for the seers and mathematicians, with places for the measuring<br \/>\ninstruments and lenses.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">17. When this was completed, Thothma built of wood and stone an external wall across<br \/>\nthe slat of the temple; and within this wall were stairs also, and these led to the top of the<br \/>\npyramid. This wall was also provided with windows, that the northern stars might be<br \/>\nobserved.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">18. Thothma made an observing column for the sun, and it was provided with lenses of<br \/>\nall colors, so that adepts standing at the base of the pyramid could see the sun at every<br \/>\nhour of the day, and distinguish the spots and their changes. A gau was set within each of<br \/>\nthe angles of observation, that the relative position of the sun with northern stars could be<br \/>\ndetermined every day.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">19. By these two columns, therefore, Thothma and his mathematicians measured the sun<br \/>\nand moon and stars, as to the distances and sizes thereof. And Osiris commanded the king<br \/>\nto send into the far-off lands of the earth his wisest mathematicians, to observe the winds<br \/>\nof heaven, and the drought upon the earth; and the abundance of the yield of the earth in<br \/>\ndifferent regions, in different years and seasons; and to observe famines and pestilences,<br \/>\nand all manner of occurrences on the face of the earth. He said unto the king: When thy<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">mathematicians are returned to thee with their accumulated wisdom, thou, or thy<br \/>\nsuccessor, shall examine the sun and the stars and moon, as compared to the things<br \/>\nwhereof the mathematicians shall relate, one year with another; and three years with<br \/>\nanother three years, and five with five, and seven with seven, and so on for hundreds of<br \/>\nyears, and thousands of years.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">20. And when thou hast taken in the term of three thousand three hundred years, and<br \/>\ncompared the sun and moon and stars, as relate to the occurrences of the earth, thou shalt<br \/>\nhave the key of prophecy for three thousand three hundred years ahead. And thou shalt<br \/>\nsay of this land and of that land; and of this people and that people, how it will be with<br \/>\nthem, and thou shalt not err.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">21. Thothma, the king, called together his mathematicians, and, according to their grade,<br \/>\nchose from amongst them twelve hundred. These he divided into groups of one hundred<br \/>\neach; and he gave them a sufficient number of attendants; and he sent them toward all the<br \/>\nsides of the world, allotting to them sixteen years each for observation, according to the<br \/>\ncommandments.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">22. And they took with them all kinds of instruments to measure with, besides scribes to<br \/>\nmake the records of such matters as came before them. And they went throughout<br \/>\nArabin&#8217;ya, and Vind&#8217;yu, and Jaffeth, and Parsi&#8217;e, and Heleste, and Uropa, even across to<br \/>\nthe western sea; and to the south extreme of Arabin&#8217;ya, and to the great kingdoms of the<br \/>\ninterior, and to the north of Heleste and Parsi&#8217;e, and Jaffeth, to the regions of everlasting<br \/>\nsnow.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">23. And in sixteen and seventeen years they returned, save some who died on the<br \/>\njourneys. And most wonderful was the knowledge these mathematicians gained. In some<br \/>\ncountries they found philosophers who had the knowledge required even at their tongues&#8217;<br \/>\nend. Thothma received them in great pomp and glory, and awarded all of them with great<br \/>\nriches.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">24. And Thothma had these things rewritten and condensed into books, and named them<br \/>\nbooks of great learning, and they were deposited within the south chamber of the<br \/>\npyramid, where never harm could come to them.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">25. And Thothma made it a law, that other mathematicians should travel over the same<br \/>\nregions for other sixteen years and make like observations; and after them, yet other<br \/>\nmathematicians to succeed them, and so on for three thousand three hundred years. And<br \/>\naccordingly, a new expedition started forth. Now during the absence of the first<br \/>\nmathematicians, Thothma and his philosophers observed the sun and moon and stars<br \/>\nevery day, and a record was made thereof, as to the earth in the regions of Thothma&#8217;s<br \/>\nhome kingdom. And these observations were reduced to tablets and maps, and a record<br \/>\nmade of them in Parsi&#8217;e&#8217;an language, which was the language of the learned. For the<br \/>\nEguptian language of that day was spoken mostly by the unlearned, and was mixed with<br \/>\nthe Fonecean, a language of sounds.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">26. After the mathematicians returned, Thothma and his philosophers examined the<br \/>\nwhole matter as compared with the maps and tablets of the heavens, and the facts<br \/>\ndeduced therefrom were written in a separate book and called T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">P<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HILOSOPHIES OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">G<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">OD AND<br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">H<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IS <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">S<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ON <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">T<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">HOTHMA<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">, K<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ING OF THE <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">E<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">ARTH<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">27. Copies of this book were made and sent into the lands of Arabin&#8217;ya, Vind&#8217;yu, Jaffeth,<br \/>\nand Parsi&#8217;e and Heleste, and Uropa, to the priests of God, but the original book was filed<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">in the Holy Chamber, in the Temple of Osiris.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">28. Thothma applied himself to impart wisdom unto all men. And during his reign<br \/>\nhe built in the land of Egupt seventy-seven colleges of Great Learning, twelve colleges<br \/>\nof prophecy, two hundred houses of philosophy, seven adepteries, and three<br \/>\nthousand free schools, and four thousand houses of sacrifice unto Osiris, Savior of men.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">29. Three hundred and forty obelisks to God, thirty triumphal arches to De&#8217;yus, four<br \/>\nthousand oans-nus to the Creator, and these were mounted on pedestals of polished stone,<br \/>\nand stood at the street corners.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">30. And there were graduated to the rank of adept during Thothma&#8217;s reign more than four<br \/>\nthousand men and three hundred women, all capable of the death trance, and of going<br \/>\nabout in spirit. And of these over seven hundred were permitted within thirty years to test<br \/>\nthe cast of the holy chambers in the pyramid. And their spirits were conducted into Osiris&#8217;<br \/>\nheavenly regions, and sojourned there for many days, and returned to their bodies<br \/>\nunharmed. Because of the position of the chambers, there was no action upon their bodies<br \/>\nwhilst in the swoon.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">31. Thus did Thothma prove himself to be one of the wisest and greatest men that<br \/>\never dwelt on the face of the earth. He believed all things the Gods told him,<br \/>\nbelieved he was Thoth re-incarnated, and believed he would never die as to the flesh.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">32. The false Osiris, through his servant God, Egupt, had said to Thothma: This is the<br \/>\nmanner of heaven and earth, as regardeth man: All men are re-incarnated over and over<br \/>\nuntil perfected to immortal flesh; and in that day man hath so perfected his adeptism he<br \/>\ncan remain on earth or ascend to heaven, even when he desireth. Hence of all knowledge,<br \/>\nadeptism is the greatest.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">33. Thothma asked if there were any new creations. Satan prompted Osiris, who said:<br \/>\nNay, thy spirit is old as the earth. At first it was small and round, like a grain of mustard,<br \/>\nonly it was spirit. And the multitude of these seed comprise the All Unseen. When one of<br \/>\nthem taketh root in gestation, then is the beginning. And it is born into the world a frog,<br \/>\nor an ass, or worm, or lion, or small creeping thing; and it liveth its time and dieth. And<br \/>\nthe spirit hieth it back again into another womb, and it is born forth a man low as<br \/>\nto knowledge, evil as to life. And he liveth a time and dieth again; but again the spirit<br \/>\nhieth back to another womb, and it is born forth again, another man, but wiser as to<br \/>\nknowledge, and less evil as to life. And this continueth to hundreds of generations and<br \/>\nto thousands. But he who hath attained adeptship hath it in his power to call forth out<br \/>\nof the earth his own corporeality; he needeth no longer to go through the filth of others.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">34. Thothma was wise even in his belief; for when he was growing old, and beholding<br \/>\nhis flesh sunken, and his eyes growing hollow and dim, and his hands getting withered,<br \/>\nhe inquired of the Gods, saying: I know thou hast taught me truth, O God. I am weak<br \/>\nbefore thee, as to judgment, and curious in my vanity. Osiris said: Speak thou, O king!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">35. Thothma said: By all the force of my will; and by my great learning, I cannot stay the<br \/>\nwithering of the flesh. If, therefore, I already dry up like a mummy, above the power of<br \/>\nmy will, how will it be with me when I am further emaciated?<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">36. Satan prompted Osiris to answer the king, and so he said: Until thou art even more<br \/>\nemaciated thou canst not understand the power of thine own soul.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">37. With this the king was reconciled, and even at the time he was tottering on his<br \/>\nlast legs he began to build a new palace, saying: After I have changed this flesh into<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">immortal flesh, hither will I come and dwell forever. And I shall be surrounded by adepts,<br \/>\nwise and faultless. And this shall be the first colony of the kind I will build on the earth.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">38. But afterward I will build many colonies of like kind; more and more of them, until I<br \/>\nhave all the earth redeemed to immortal flesh. For of such shall be my kingdom, and all<br \/>\nmen and all women on the earth shall own me Lord of all.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">39. Nevertheless, with all Thothma&#8217;s wisdom, and the wisdom of his Gods, he fell on a<br \/>\nstone and died suddenly on the day he was one hundred years old.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Chapter LI<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">1. When Thothma was quite dead the priests carried his body into the temple, fully<br \/>\nbelieving his spirit would return from heaven and transform the body from corruptible<br \/>\ninto incorruptible flesh to live forever. And they laid the corpse in the place previously<br \/>\ndesignated by the Gods, and sealed it up according to the commands of the false Osiris,<br \/>\nSavior of men.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">2. Osiris had said: Whoso believeth in me, him will I save unto everlasting life, and<br \/>\nthough he lose his body, yet again shall he find it, and the corruptible flesh shall be<br \/>\nchanged in the twinkling of an eye, and become incorruptible unto life everlasting, with<br \/>\nthe spirit that abideth therein.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">3. On the fifth day the priests opened the chamber, for according to the L<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">AWS OF <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">M<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">IRACLES<\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">,<br \/>\non that day, the spirit should accomplish the feat; but lo and behold, it came not, and the<br \/>\nbody still lay cold and dead. But the Gods came in sar&#8217;gis and said unto the priests: Seal<br \/>\nye up the body for other five days. And the priests did as commanded; and after that they<br \/>\nexamined it again, but life had not returned. Again they were commanded to seal it up for<br \/>\nother five days, which they did, but life returned not.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">4. Houaka, who was now the high priest, inquired of Osiris concerning the matter. And<br \/>\nOsiris, through his servant God, Egupt, answered him, saying: Go fetch a young man who<br \/>\nis warm in the blood, which is life in the flesh, and he shall be the seventh son of an<br \/>\nadept, and know how to <\/span><span class=\"fontstyle0\">CAST HIMSELF IN DEATH.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">5. The priests brought Xaian, who was in his twenty-fourth year, and when he came into<br \/>\nthe Holy Chamber he was bid cast himself in death for benefit of the king&#8217;s soul. And<br \/>\nXaian thus cast himself, and he was sealed in the chamber of death for five days along<br \/>\nwith the king&#8217;s corpse. And in five days the priests brought both bodies into the Holy<br \/>\nChamber, according to instructions. And Osiris came and commanded them to stand<br \/>\naround the bodies, and when they had done so, the angels from Osiris&#8217;kingdom came and<br \/>\nspirited away the body of the king, and they brought back the spirit of Xaian to inhabit the<br \/>\nbody of Xaian, and put it in possession thereof, making believe it was the spirit of<br \/>\nThothma returned.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">6. Houaka said to the Gods: Where is the body of Thothma? Hath it been transformed?<br \/>\nAnd the Gods answered: It hath gone to heaven, and will return after many days. But as to<br \/>\nthe spirit of the king, behold, he is with thee. And the priests spoke to Xaian, believing it<br \/>\nwas Thothma. And after three days they came forth out of the temple and recrowned<br \/>\nXaian, Thothma the Second, and they proclaimed it abroad that these things were true,<br \/>\nhowbeit they knew to the contrary.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">7. As to the spirit of Thothma, at the time of death, it was taken to Agho&#8217;aden and put<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"fontstyle0\">amongst the servants of Osiris&#8217;heavenly kingdom, and thus enslaved. So Xaian became<br \/>\nking of Egupt.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">8. Now, as regardeth the false Gods, Osiris and his confederates, they never tried to<br \/>\nreincarnate the spirit of Thothma; but because of the virtues and the wisdom of Thothma,<br \/>\nthey used him for benefit of Osiris&#8217;heavenly kingdom, and to establish Osiris<br \/>\neverlastingly on the earth as the all highest God.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">9. As to the kingdoms of the land of Egupt, which succeeded Thothma, the inhabitants of<br \/>\nthe earth already know the chief part. For hundreds and hundreds of years the Eguptians<br \/>\nwere the most learned people in the world, and especially in a knowledge of the stars, and<br \/>\nthe sun and moon, and in adeptism and miracles.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">10. But woe came unto them; the land became flooded with hundreds of millions of<br \/>\ndrujas; and as to the people of Egupt, the chief desire was to be able to return in spirit<br \/>\nafter death and dwell with mortals. And the things which followed are not even lawful to<br \/>\nmention.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">11. Suffice it, these spirits lost all sight of any higher heavens than to dwell on the earth;<br \/>\nthey knew no other. And they watched about when children were born, and obsessed<br \/>\nthem, driving hence the natural spirit, and growing up in the new body of the newborn,<br \/>\ncalling themselves re-incarnated; and these drujas professed that when they previously<br \/>\nlived on earth they were great kings, or queens, or philosophers.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"fontstyle0\">12. And they taught as their master, Osiris, the false, did: That there was no higher heaven<br \/>\nthan here on the earth, and that man must be re-incarnated over and over until the flesh<br \/>\nbecame immortal.
