Book of Inspiration Chapter 12<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Man only, of all My created animals, created I not perfect in his order, saith Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The most devoid of knowledge, and the most helpless of animals, created I man.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. I gave not to the bird to improve her feathers; nor yet to improve her species; nor gave I
\nher a book as to the manner of building her nest, nor as to her behavior with other birds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Nor said I to the hare: Beware of foxes, or go thou, teach thy young to depend on their
\nfleetness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And yet, both, birds and beasts, move by My inspiration, perfectly in the order I made
\nthem; the bird doeth her work, and the hare fleeth from the fox.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. But the child of man will put its finger in a serpent’s mouth, and the child will also eat
\nany deadly poison.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Thus differently created I man from all other things on earth; but I gave him the
\nfoundation whereon he might attain to perfection in all the attributes of My other living
\ncreatures.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And I said to man: Be thou observant of what thou shalt eat and drink, and where thou
\nshalt dwell by day, and sleep by night.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. For all things shall write upon thy soul the character and kind whereof they are made.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. If thou wilt be gentle, like a lamb, and non-resistant and docile, so thou mayst obtain
\ngreat knowledge, feed thou upon herbs and fruits and cereals.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And thy blood shall be pure and cool, and charged with food for thy spirit, in peace
\nand love.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. But if thou wilt be ferocious, like a carnivorous beast, then thou shalt feed upon
\nflesh and fish, and thy blood shall be hot, and thy spirit shall be stirred with passion
\nand anger and contention and tattling and war and jealousy and love of vengeance.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. For whatsoever thou chargest thy blood with, shall be charged upon thy spirit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Because thou canst not feed on fish nor flesh but through destruction unto death, even
\nso, destruction unto death shall come upon thy soul.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. From thine own blood shall thy spirit be inspired, even according to what thy blood
\ncontaineth.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. As through corpor thy corporeal part is nurtured, so through the gaseous,
\natmospherean part is thy spirit nurtured.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Woman said: Behold, I kill not any lamb, nor bird, nor fish. Others kill them, but I eat
\nthem.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. To kill My lambs and birds, and whatsoever I created alive, is a simple act,
\nsaith Jehovih. Let no man waste much speech because of such destructions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. It is the contamination of the blood of man by carnivorous food, whereon thou shalt
\nponder.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Like unto like created I all the living. Whosoever maketh himself carnivorous, can not
\nescape conflict and contention within his own members, soul and body.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Until the earth was circumscribed, I gave man carnivorous food; to-day, I make it
\npoison to him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. And man shall turn away from it; and the smell of it shall sicken him; and the sight of
\nblood shall fill him with horror.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. The butcher shall be ashamed of his avocation; his neighbors shall say to him: Thou<\/span>
\nstinkest of blood!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. Because thou gavest us flesh, we also drank to drunkenness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Because thou gavest flesh, we also did smoke and take narcotics.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Because thou gavest us flesh, we are rotten with catarrh, and wasted in the lungs.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. Because we feasted on flesh, Jehovih answered us in corruptible flesh.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Lo, we stink from the sole of our feet to the crown of our heads.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. And our offspring are born into the world so helpless and corrupt that half of them die
\nin infancy.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Jehovih said: When I command the nations of the earth to peace, behold I raise My
\nhand above the carnivorant’s head.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. As there was a time when I created every animal perfect in its order; so also shall such
\na time come unto man.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. And now is the dawn thereof. Hence, I named it kosmon.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. As the spider learneth to build her net without a book, and the bees to dwell in a
\nqueendom in peace and industry without books and written laws and instructions as how
\nto do this and that, even so, now is a new birth to the generations of My people.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. By My direct inspiration upon them shall they learn to do all things perfect, in the
\norder of man for which I created him.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. Man shall know how to do things easily, and without the long labor of books, and
\nwithout showing, or explanations.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

36. As of old, I commanded thee to have dominion over every living thing I created; so,
\nnow, I command thee to take the earth and the waters of the earth and the air above the
\nearth into thy dominion also.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. And thou shalt rule over them; to drive away the heat, and bring the cold; to drive
\naway the cold, and bring the heat, as thou wilt, for the benefit of all the living.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

38. To accomplish which, thou shalt now, first of all, adapt thyself to thy Creator,
\naccording to My highest Light upon thee:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

39. To put away thine own inharmony in thy blood and flesh, and in thy soul.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

40. Opening the way for My inspiration to come direct to thee, that thou mayst be one
\nwith Me.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
