Book of Lika Chapters 7 and 8<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

1. Onward sped Lika in his airavagna, with his eight hundred millions; through the sea of
\nEnea-Wassa, the etherean realm of Haog-sa-uben; shining like a meteor in its flight, the
\nship of fire of eight hundred millions. On every side, the Jehovihian worshippers’vessels,
\ntens of thousands, coursing as many ways, some fast, on missions of quickened labor;
\nsome slow, as traveling school-ships, exploring the great expanse and glorious richness of
\nJehovih’s provided worlds, always ready for the newborn; each and all the ships as
\nstudded gems in the etherean sea, moving brilliants playing kaleidoscopic views, ever
\nchanging the boundless scene with surpassing wonders. And all of these, by signs and
\nsignals, the story of their place and mission revealing to the high-raised etherean souls,<\/span>
\nships and men, as quickened living books of fire, radiant with the Father’s light and
\nhistory of worlds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. On Lika’s ship, as on all the others, every soul, hundreds of millions, enraptured, stood
\nin awe and admiration of the ever-changing scenes; some in silence, absorbed in
\nthought; some posing with upraised hands; some ejaculating gleefully; and some in
\nhigh reverence to Jehovih, uttering everlasting praise; every soul its full bent, being
\nthe full ripe fruit of the diversified talents as they first shone forth in corporeal life.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Onward sped Lika’s airavagna now in the Roads of Nopita, now in the a’ji’an Forest of
\nQuion, most rich in adamantine substances, arches, stalactites and stalagmites, and in
\nforming and dissolving scenes, a forest, a very background in the etherean worlds for the
\nover-brilliant crystal regions of light. And here, too, the tens of thousands of ships of
\nJehovih’s chosen; and on either side the great roadway lay the Fields of Anutiv, inhabited
\nby countless millions of etherean kingdoms. Along the road for hundreds of thousands of
\nmiles, stretched up the hands of millions and millions of souls, waving banners and flags
\nto their favored ships, going to some native star, from which Jehovih brought them forth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Then changed the course of Lika’s airavagna, by his commands sent through the comet
\nYo-to-gactra, a new condensing world, already with a head of fire four thousand miles
\nbroad; a very ball of melted corpor, whirling like the spindle of a filling spool, forever
\nwinding unto itself the wide extending nebulae. Here were coursing along, hundreds of
\nthousands of school-ships, with students and visitors to view the scenes, most grand in
\nrolling on, now round, now broken, now outstretched, this ball of liquid fire, whirling in
\nthe vortex, thirty million miles long. To balance against which vortex many of the ships
\ntossed and rolled, dangerously, had they not been in skilled hands; and, as they were,
\ncausing millions of the students on many a ship to fear and tremble, perceiving how
\nhelpless and stupid they were compared to the very Gods who had them in charge.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Not long did Lika loiter to view the scenes, or to indulge his eight hundred millions,
\nbut stood his course again for the red star, the earth; coursing the Fuassette Mountains,
\nwhere the God, Vrilla-Gabon, built the Echosinit kingdom, whose capital was Exastras,
\nthe place where the Niuan Gods assembled to witness the first starting forth of the earth.
\nHere, halting awhile, and adown went Lika’s recorders, to gather from the Exastras
\nlibraries the earth’s early history and the grade of her creation; a copy of which obtained,
\nthe recorders hastily returned, when onward again sped the airavagna, now making
\ncourse across the Plains of Zed, in the midst of which lay the great sea Oblowochisi,
\nfour million miles across, and this also studded over with thousands of etherean ships.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. And now across to Rikkas, the place of the Goddess, Enenfachtus, with her
\nseven thousand million etherean souls, whereupon Lika and his hosts cast down
\nmillions of wreaths and tokens, and the while, the music of the two spheres
\nmingled together in Jehovih’s praise. Here, across, the distance was three million miles.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Now, all the while before, the red star stood upward, inclining upward, but here in
\nhorizontal line began to stand, gleaming in more effulgent flame. And in the course,
\nwhere Lika’s airavagna should go, the Goddess, Enenfachtus, had previously upraised a
\nhundred thousand pillars of fire to honor him and his company; which great respect Lika
\nand his hosts answered with holy salutations.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. After this, came the ji’ay’an Forests of Hogobed, three million miles across, and close
\nfor lack of etherean air and inspiration. Here stood the Province of Arathactean, where<\/span>
\ndwelt the God, Yew-Sin, with thirty thousand million newly-raised Brides and
\nBridegrooms from the star Kagados. Over these regions Lika sped swiftly, and then to the
\nopen sea, Amatapan, on the Vashuan Roads.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Then a sail of two million miles, in the uninhabited regions of Samma, when he
\nreached Chinvat, the bridge on the boundary of the earth’s vortex beyond the orbit of the
\nmoon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And, halting not, but now coursing on a downward plane, made straight toward
\nthe swift-rolling earth, whose speed was three-quarters of a million miles a day.
\nThrough the high-floating plateaux of atmospherea came Lika with his fire-ship,
\nwith his hosts, eight hundred millions, came his ship like a meteor, huge as a continent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 8<\/span><\/p>\n

1. On the uninhabited plateau, Theovrahkistan, rich and broad as the earth, high above the
\nlands of Jaffeth, and Vind’yu, and Arabin’ya, lighted Lika in his airavagna, with his eight
\nhundred millions. Here he made fast his fire-ship, and forth came his hosts to found a
\nheavenly kingdom. Lika said:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. I hear Thy voice, O Jehovih; Thy hand is upon me; in Thy Wisdom and Power will I
\nbuild the foundations of Thy kingdom in these heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Jehovih said: Call forth thy Rapon hosts, thy companion Chiefs; build thy throne broad
\nfor them and thee. And shape thou the area of the capital and stand thy high Council, the
\nchosen millions, to the four quarters of the heavens of the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. The legions then fell to and built a heavenly place unto Jehovih, and called it
\nYogannaqactra, home of Lika and his eight hundred millions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5.Jehovih called out of the light of the throne which Lika built, saying: Lika, My Son,
\nthou shalt build all things new on the earth and in the heavens of the earth, even as if
\nnothing had ever been. Send thou thy messengers in an otevan to the broken-down region
\nof My beloved, God of Craoshivi, and bring him and his thousand attendants unto thy
\nplace.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Thereupon an otevan was sent off, well officered, and in due time it returned, bringing
\nGod to Yogannaqactra, where he was received with great joy, and greeted in Jehovih’s
\nname.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Lika said: Speak thou, O God, for I am come to deliver these heavens into Jehovih’s
\ndominion. What are the light and the darkness of the heavens and the earth that have been
\nentrusted to thy keeping, in Jehovih’s name?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. God said: Alas, how can I speak? Behold, my kingdoms are scattered and gone; I have
\nnowhere any pride in anything I have done in heaven and earth. An exceeding great
\ndarkness came upon my people, for a thousand and five hundred years! Thy servants have
\nbeen overpowered, helpless and tossed as chaff before the wind.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Lika said: How many Gods? How many dans of darkness? Whither are gone My true
\nGods?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. God said: Four Gods are risen to etherea with their hosts, heart-broken, true Gods.
\nFour dans have come and gone; so weak and small, like a breath of air, for the darkness
\nbrushed them away. In Savak-haben, in etherea, sojourn thy Gods.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Jehovih’s light fell upon the throne, and His Voice came out of the light, saying: Send<\/span>
\nthou, O My Son, Lika, to Savak-haben, four arrow-ships, with a hundred thousand
\nattendants for My true Gods, and bring them to Yogannaqactra.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Lika then sent four arrow-ships with his swift messengers and a hundred thousand
\nattendants, to bring back the four disconcerted Gods.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. God said: Thousands of millions of angels of darkness flood the hadan regions;
\nand as many grovel about on the low earth. De’yus, the false Lord God, is cast into
\nhell, a hell so wide that none can approach his place of torment. Te-in, the fase God, the
\nJoss, is also cast into hell; and so is Sudga, the false Dyaus; and so are all the
\nfalse Gods that encompassed the earth around; their kingdoms are in anarchy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. The names Lord, and God, and Dyaus, and De’yus, and Zeus, and Joss, and Ho-Joss,
\nand many others, have become worshipful on the earth! Not only labored the traitors to
\nput away the Great Spirit, but to establish themselves as men-Gods capable of creating;
\nyea, the veritable Creator of heaven and earth!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Lika said: Hear thou, then, the Voice of Jehovih! Because they have put Me aside and
\nassumed to be Creators under the name God, and De’yus, I will magnify the Person of
\nGod and De’yus in men’s understanding.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Nor from this time forth on the earth, for three thousand years, shall man be confined
\nto the one name, Jehovih, or Eolin, or Eloih, but worship God, or Lord, or De’yus, or
\nZeus, or Dyaus, or Joss, or Ho-Joss. For since these men have cast themselves into hells,
\nbehold, the spirits of the risen shall not find them nor their kingdoms. And thou shalt
\nmagnify unto mortals that all names worshipful belong to the Ever Present, whose Person
\nis the spirit and substance of all things. And if they inquire of thee: Who is Dyaus? or,
\nWho is God? or, Who is Joss? thou shalt say: Hath He not said: Behold, I am the Creator
\nof heaven and earth! and I say unto you, He is the Ever Present, the All Highest Ideal.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. But this bondage shall come upon them: To reap the harvest they have sown. Because
\none hath said: Build thou a pyramid, and thy God will come and abide therein, even as a
\nman dwelleth in a house; he shall be bound while the pyramid standeth. And another hath
\nsaid: Behold, thy God is in the image of a man, and he sitteth on a throne in heaven; he
\nshall be bound while this belief surviveth on the earth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. Because they have sown a falsehood on the earth, the harvest is theirs. And
\nuntil they have reaped their whole harvest they shall not rise into My etherean worlds.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
