Book of Inspiration Chapters 17 and 18<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 17<\/p>\n

THE FALLEN SWORD’S DAY.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. As Jehovih, through His God, delivered into freedom Guatama’s slaves, and, thus, to
\ngeneral slavery dealt the final blow, so Jehovih blessed that day, and sanctified it.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And He gave to man, as the master’s sign in the lodge, A <\/span>HAND POINTING TOWARD A PEN,
\n<\/span>signifying, I <\/span>HAVE PROVED THIS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. And Jehovih gave to the members in the lodge to answer in the sign, C<\/span>LASPED HANDS<\/span>,
\n<\/span>AND LOOKING UPWARD<\/span>. signifying, I<\/span>N <\/span>T<\/span>HY <\/span>P<\/span>RAISE, <\/span>J<\/span>EHOVIH<\/span>!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Jehovih said: Remember the day of proclamation of freedom, for it is My day, which I
\nbequeath unto you as a day of freedom in all righteous jollification, which ye shall keep
\nevery year, and commemorate, to the end of the world.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 18.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

HOLY KOSMON DAY.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Beside the above, Jehovih gave one more holy day, Kosmon Day, which He also
\ncommanded to be kept in commemoration of another matter, which Jehovih commanded
\nto be secret with the Faithists for a certain period of time, the which time hath not expired
\nto this day. Therefore, the day of kosmon is still a secret with the Faithists.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And Jehovih said: That mortals and angels may live and labor in concert, behold, I
\nhave given certain days, whereby large congregations on earth may be met by My organic
\nheavens, in re-union, mortals and angels, for the happiness of both, and for the glory of
\nMy works.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Now, behold also, as by My Presence I inspire thee, when thou laborest with Me, and
\nthou art doing righteously, and with purity and love, so also is it with thee, in regard to
\nMy angels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. When thou makest and keepest thy corporeal body pure and clean, My angels, who are
\npure and clean, come to thee to aid thee, and to enlighten thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And when thou puttest away all unclean thoughts and all unselfish desires, and
\nseekest to obtain wisdom, and to learn how best thou canst help thy fellow-man,
\nbehold, My angels of light and wisdom come to thee, and, by virtue of their
\npresence, which thou seest not, they inspire thy soul in the light of thy Creator.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Man hath said: I will not be a seer, or a prophet, nor a su’is, nor sar’gis; verily, I will not
\nhave angels with me to teach me, or to give me any light or knowledge under the sun.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Whatever I can attain, it shall be mine own. Wiser is it for me to obtain to know, and to<\/span>
\ndo things of myself, than have angels come and give to me, or manifest through me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Verily, I will not be used, by man nor angel, for it would be prostituting my flesh and
\nmy spirit to others.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Behold, my body was given to me for mine own use and profit, to establish and
\ndevelop mine own soul unto eternal happiness in individuality.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Alike unto all people is My Presence, saith Jehovih. I am unto the just and the unjust;
\nI am everywhere, both, in darkness and in light.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Because thou art in darkness, thou beholdest not Me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Because thou art imperfect in flesh and spirit, thou deniest Me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Because thou art confounded with inharmony, thou believest not in Me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. He, who hath not an ear for music, discovereth not a tune; even as he that is
\ndiscordant denieth My Person.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. To the pure there is no selfishness, neither for earthly things, nor for their own flesh
\nand spirit.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. A pure man is as a clear glass; he can see out of himself, and, so, perceive My angels
\nand Me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Through the pure man, pure angels can see mortality as well as spirituality. Their
\npresence inspireth him to understand all things.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. As much with the man that is not a seer, or a su’is, are the angels, as with those that
\nare seer, or su’is, or sar’gis.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Because thou seest not, nor hearest angels, only proveth thy darkness, but proveth not
\nthe absence of angels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. To the dark, come the dark; with the dark, abide the dark, both, angels and
\nmortals. <\/span><\/p>\n

21. More is the man of darkness ruled by angels, than is the man of light.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. Behold, I created thee not to fill any place in all the world for thine own self’s sake.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Neither gave I thy flesh nor thy spirit to be thine only.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. These, also, shalt thou relinquish, saying: To Thee, O Jehovih, I give all; my flesh, my
\nspirit, mind, and all my service; to be Thine forever.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Thou shalt say: Appropriate Thou me, soul and body, in whatsoever way Thou canst,
\nthat I may do the most good unto others, mortals and angels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. Until thou attainest this, thou shalt not hear My Voice, nor see My Hand.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. As I gave away Myself, and thus created all things, so shalt thou follow in My
\nfootsteps, in order to become one with Me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. Herein lieth the secret of wisdom, truth, love and power, time without end.
