Book of Lika Chapters 13 and 14<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 13<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Lika spake before the Rapon hosts, saying: Behold, the hosts of laborers are allotted to
\ntheir places.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Let us go about, and examine the earth and her heavens. It is proper that my surveyors
\nmeasure her land and water, together with all the living thereon and therein, and
\nespecially as to every man and woman and child, and the time of maturity unto them, and
\nthe years of the generations of men.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And man that is brought forth out of the earth shall be numbered; and the grade of his
\nunderstanding measured; and the nature of his desires and aspirations shall be
\nascertained; which reports shall be copied and sent into the Orian kingdoms, for the<\/span>
\ndeliberations of the Chiefs, that they may determine as to the requirements of the earth,
\nand as to the nature in which her roadway shall be strewn with either light or darkness for
\nthe ultimate perfection of her soul harvests.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. And the heavens of the earth shall be measured, as to the spirits of the dead; and their
\ngrades shall be made out, together with their desires and aspirations; the lengths of the
\ntimes of their bondage to the earth, and the places of their habitation, and the nature of
\ntheir supplies. And a copy of such record shall be made and also sent to the Orian Chiefs
\nfor their deliberations.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And the plateaux of the earth’s heavens shall also be numbered and measured, and
\ntheir localities mapped out and recorded, and copies thereof also sent to the
\nOrian Chiefs, that they may determine as to necessary changes therein and thereof.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. During which time of my absence from Theovrahkistan, I appoint Havralogissasa as
\nvice-Goddess in my place. How sayest thou, Havralogissasa? She said: Jehovih’s will and
\nthine be done. I am rejoiced.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Lika then called Havralogissasa to the throne, and commissioned her vice-Goddess of
\nTheovrahkistan. And after this Lika gave instructions as to extending the capital,
\nYogannaqactra, and enlarging the places for reception of the higher grades; all of which
\nwere duly provided with the persons to carry out the commands.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And now Lika spake to Ahura, saying: Behold, thou shalt return to thy kingdom, Varapishanaha, for when I come thither on my journey, I will resurrect thy hosts as Brides and
\nBridegrooms to the etherean kingdoms. Thy labor is well done; thy glory is the glory of
\nthousands of millions! May the love, wisdom and power of Jehovih be with thee, now
\nand forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Thereupon Ahura saluted, and was in turn saluted, when he advanced and met the
\nmarshals, who conducted him hence, to the arrow-ship, where he embarked and departed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 14<\/span><\/p>\n

1. In due time Lika’s otevan was completed, and he, with the Rapon hosts, besides
\none million hosts in attendance, to make necessary surveys and records, entered into
\nthe ship and departed for his two years’cruise around about the earth and in her heavens.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Sufficient unto the earth is the history thereof; and the maps of land and water; and the
\nnumber of inhabitants; and the living creatures upon the earth and in the waters thereof;
\nwhich are in the libraries of the earth. Therefore, suffice it that the revelations of
\nthe heavens upon the face of the earth, which records are in the libraries of heaven,
\nshall be disclosed before the generations of men from the records of Lika, Son of Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. This, then, is a synopsis of the atmospherean heavens at that time, to wit: In the hells of
\nHored, with Anuhasaj, alias De’yus, forty thousand million angels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. In the hells of Te-in, eight thousand millions; in the hells of Sudga, twelve thousand
\nmillions; in the hells of Osiris, seventeen thousand millions.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. In the smaller hells in other parts of hada, there were in all fourteen thousand million
\nangels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. These ninety-one thousand millions were not all bound in their respective hells;
\nupward of thirty thousand millions of them surged about, from one hell to another, often
\nin groups of a thousand million.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>7. And these groups, at times, descended to the earth, fastening upon mortals, even
\ncasting large cities and nations in death. Because they carried the foulness of their hells
\nwith them, they impregnated the air with poison, so that mortals were swept off by the
\nmillion. And these were called plagues.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Lika said: Behold, I will give a new grade to these heavens for a season. From this
\ntime, such angels shall be known as being in the first resurrection. But spirits who have
\nquit their old haunts, and joined organic associations, being enlisted in companies, either
\nfor labor or for receiving heavenly instruction, shall be known as being in the second
\nresurrection. And such spirits as have attained to etherean grades, being Brides and
\nBridegrooms of Jehovih, and having ascended beyond atmospherea into the etherean
\nworlds, shall be known as being in the third resurrection.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Such angels as engraft themselves on mortals, becoming as a twin spirit to the one
\ncorporeal body, shall be known as re-incarnated spirits. But where such spirits usurp the
\ncorporeal body, as of an infant, growing up in the corporeal body, and holding the native
\nspirit in abeyance, such spirits shall be known as damons (which was the origin of that
\nname).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Spirits who inhabit mortals in order to live on the substance mortals eat and drink,
\nand oft absorbing the strength and life of mortals, shall be known as uzians (vampires).
\nNevertheless, these shall not include fetals.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. All the foregoing, who are not in the way of resurrection, shall be called drujas.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Now, behold, there were millions of angels in those days who knew no other life, but
\nto continue engrafting themselves on mortals. And, when one mortal died, they went and
\nengrafted themselves on another.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. These were the fruit of the teaching of the false Gods, who had put away the All
\nHighest, Jehovih. They could not be persuaded that etherea was filled with habitable
\nworlds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. And they professed that they had been re-incarnated many times; and that, previously,
\nthey had been great kings or philosophers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Some of them remembered the ji’ay’an period of a thousand years, and, so hoped to
\nregain their natural bodies and dwell again on the earth, and forever. Hence was founded
\nthe story that every thousand years a new incarnation would come to the spirits of the
\ndead.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. Lika said: Such spirits as come to mortals purposely to inflict them with pain or
\nmisfortune shall be called evil spirits.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. And when they go in groups, having a leader, that leader shall be called Beelzebub,
\nthat is, captain of evil (prince of devils). (And this was the origin of that word.)
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. In Parsi’e and Heleste there were habited with mortals one thousand million
\ndamons, and one twelve hundred million evil spirits. In Egupt there were inhabited
\nwith mortals seven hundred million engrafters (re-incarnated spirits), who, for the
\nmost part, held the spirits of their victims in abeyance all their natural lives.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. In Jaffeth there were habited with mortals more than fifteen hundred millions
\nof damons and evil spirits, besides four hundred million vampires. So that in these
\nthree great divisions of the earth, Vind’yu, and Jaffeth, and Arabin’ya, there were
\nhabited upward of ten thousand million spirits who had not attained to any resurrection.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. Besides all the foregoing there were thousands of millions of spirits in chaos, being<\/span>
\nsuch as had been slain in wars. Of these chaotic spirits there were in Parsi’e and Heleste a
\nthousand millions; and in Jaffeth two thousand millions; and in Vind’yu two thousand
\nmillions. But in Egupt there were not half a million, all told.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. So that, in atmospherea, at the time of Lika, there were upward of one hundred and
\ntwenty-five thousand million angels, who had no knowledge of or belief in any higher
\nheaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. To offset this great darkness, there were of believers in, and laborers for Jehovih
\nand his emancipated kingdoms, only four thousand millions, and many of these were
\nnot above grade fifty. And these were members of Craoshivi and Vara-pishanaha.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Two thousand million of them were ashars, laboring with the Faithist mortals of
\nEgupt, Jaffeth and Vind’yu.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
