Book of Ah’shong Chapter V, Chapter VI<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 5<\/span><\/p>\n

1. God said: Blessed is the surgeon’s knife; its burn is the capital of health regained; but
\nyet a fool will cry out: Hold! hold! enough! thou inflicter of pain!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Who hath an eye like Jehovih? His whipping-posts are on all sides, but there is a clear
\nroad between them. Yet man followeth it not.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Withdraw all good men and good angels, and there is no person left; they would not be
\nhalf made up. A man without an arm or a leg is but part of a man; a man without
\nperception of the All Person is a deformity in soul. He seeketh a home for his own ease
\nand glory; but the Son of Jehovih seeketh to find the severest labor that will profit his
\nbrethren.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Yeshuah shall be my homestead; hither will I bring the fruit of heaven below; hither
\nbuild my training schools. Seven years shall be my service; and they shall learn the ways
\nof etherea. Build me a house of brotherhood and fill it with willing pupils sworn to labor.
\nI will make them Gods and Lords with power and wisdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Behold a man maketh a factory and turneth out fabric for sale. I make a college and I
\nturn out sons and daughters of Jehovih, to give away. Bring me such material as will<\/span>
\nstand in warp and filling; Jehovih’s fabric shall endure forever. Search me out the seed of
\nI’hin, and house them with care, for they shall redeem the earth-born after I ascend to the
\nFather’s kingdom.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Chapter 6<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. All the first best angels of atmospherea were brought away from the earth and housed
\nin Yeshuah, being placed at school and in factories new made in heaven. These were
\nI’hins.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The second first-best spirits were brought also, but placed in hospitals and nurseries.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Of those who had advanced to receive the second resurrection, God said: Build an
\netherean ship and take them to Theistivi, in etherea.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. So it came to pass there were two hundred millions raised to the second resurrection, of
\nthe grade thirty-five. Theistivi lieth betwixt etherea and Seven A’ji, which is the lowest of
\nthe etherean heavens next to an atmospherean abode.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. God said: Two qualities have I left in Yeshuah, first and second. These shall be the
\nnew kingdom after I am ascended. From these I will raise up a God and Lords, and they
\nshall rule over the lower heaven and the earth; and they shall bequeath to others after
\nthem to rule in like manner.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Thus was founded the second light of Jehovih on the fruit of the earth. God’s etherean
\nhosts became as a training school to raise up a God and Lords and marshals and es’enaurs,
\nand all other officers, and men and women, for a lower heaven. God said: Yeshuah shall
\nnot approach nearer the earth; nor shall it be as Hored, where spirits of darkness might
\neasily approach.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. One hundred millions of spirits did God and his Lords and fellow-laborers bring from
\nthe earth to Yeshuah, and they were placed in a brotherhood apportioned in the places
\nsuited to their talents. And God divided the time of study, and of recreation, and of music,
\nand of discipline, marching, and so on, suited to all the people; and it was a place of order
\nand glory.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. For without discipline there is nothing; and discipline cannot be without ceremony; nor
\nceremony without rites, and forms, and established words. Is it not a foolish soldier that
\nsaith: Behold I am wise! I need no discipline nor manual of arms. What more is he than
\none of an untutored mob?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. God said: As I drill them in heaven to make them a unit, so give ye to mortals rites
\nand ceremonies, that, coming into heaven, they go not back to their old haunts and fall
\nin darkness. Whatever tendeth to harmonize the behavior of individuals is of the
\nFather; the opposite tendeth to evil. Better is it that men march to the sound of one
\nmonotonous word, than not to march at all; the value lieth not in the word, but in
\nbringing in unison that which was void. A fool saith: I need not pray, there is no virtue in
\nwords. But his soul groweth up at variance with Jehovih. Neither is there more virtue
\nin the prayer or the words, than in marching (sacred dance) before Jehovih; for
\nwhatever tendeth to unite men in one expression of soul in harmony, is Jehovih’s.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Sacred dances and rites and ceremonies were established in Yeshuah in the name of
\nJehovih; and the new heaven became a place of delight.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. God said: Teach my chosen to labor hard and wisely; and to dance with energy, and to<\/span>
\nsing with strength and fullness of soul. For what more is there in any man or woman than
\nto learn to put forth? And what more pitiful thing is there in heaven than a man or woman
\nwho hath but dragged along?<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
