Book of Sue, Son of Jehovih Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

1. After this manner were the words of the initiation, led by the etherean hosts, to wit:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. God on the throne said: O E-O-Ih (Jehovih)! Almighty! Boundless!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Response: How shall I comprehend Thee, Thou Mighty One?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. God: Thou Higher than All Gods and Lords!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Response: Who movest the universe, with power unlimited!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. God: Creator and Controller of the corporeal worlds!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Response: In Whose hands the etherean firmament is like a fruitful garden, wider than
\nthe boundaries of time!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. God: Whose members are All Space!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Response: Whose members are the All that is within place, beyond measure!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. God: Thou, E-O-Ih! Thou Fountain and Terminus of all things!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Response: E-O-Ih! E-O-Ih! Of Whom all things are but parts, attuned to Thy will!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. God: Thou All Person, O E-O-Ih! Incomprehensible!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. Response: Who speakest in the Light! Whose voice is the progress of the universe!<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>14. God: E-O-Ih! Thou All Giver! By giving, Createth!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Response: What are Thy secrets, O Mighty One? O E-O-Ih, Everlasting, and Greater
\nthan Magnitude!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. God: I see nothing in all the universe but Thee! All selfs are but fractions of Thyself,
\nO E-O-Ih!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. Response: Who hath not beholden Thee, O E-O-Ih? Thy Person is in the east and west
\nand north and south! Below and above; far and near.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

18. God: Who hath not heard Thy voice? Who hath not found Thy hand, that pusheth him
\nalong?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. Response: Without Thee, O E-O-Ih, I go not; I move not. I set out to do things of
\nmyself, and fail utterly.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. God: What is man before Thee, O E-O-Ih? He setteth up a kingdom, and it falleth as a
\nhouse of straw.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. Response: O E-O-Ih, how I have wasted my time! My buildings were lighter than
\nchaff! My virtues were but bubbles, and they are burst and gone!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. God: When will man learn to attune himself to Thee, O E-O-Ih?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Response: How can I put away myself, O E-O-Ih? Have I not said: I cannot put away
\nmine own judgment?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

24. God: Man saith: I will not put away my judgment! and lo, therein doeth he it!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

25. Response: Have I not said: To protect myself is the first law, and to preserve mine
\nown the highest law?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

26. God: Man assumeth to protect himself, because he is without faith in Thee, O E-o-ih!
\nAnd to preserve his own, which, in fact, is not his.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

27. And here the Light fell upon the throne, and Jehovih spake out of the Light, saying:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

28. I have called thee, O man, from thy youth up! My voice hath never ceased in thine
\near. Who can come into life without Me? Who can measure his own footsteps?
\nBehold, he treadeth on My ground. Of all that he is made, the substance is Mine.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

29. The kingdoms of the earth and the kingdoms of Gods and Lords in heaven, what are
\nthey more than imitations of My works? Wherein they imitate Me well, I am with them in
\nwisdom, love and power. Shall a man butt his head against a wall to prove he is greater
\nthan his Creator? Behold, I came in the ancient days, saying: Strive to become one with
\nMe, and thou shalt rejoice that I created thee. Strive to set up for thyself, and thy vanity
\nshall in time pierce thee as a two-edged sword.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

30. Hear the love of thy Creator, O man! For I made thee with fondness for thy sons and
\ndaughters. Of love like Mine Own I gave thee a part. And as thou sendest to thy wayward
\nson, beseeching him to return to thee, so do I bring My messengers from higher worlds to
\ncall thee. And, that thou mayst not mistake their higher place, I give them power and
\nwisdom surpassing thee.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

31. The voice ceased, and then the initiates said:
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

32. Henceforth I will serve only Thee, O E-O-Ih! Nor will I more think what shall become
\nof me. For I know Thou wilt appropriate me wisely, O E-O-Ih!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

33. Accordingly, as the stone is hewn and polished, so wilt Thou put it in the walls of Thy
\nhouse.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

34. My labor is to hew and polish and perfect mine own soul forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

35. My soul shall become as a shining star.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>36. My love like Thy etherean angels.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

37. And plain my raiment, and clean, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

38. Nor more will I boast, nor speak untruth, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

39. Nor sloth attain me.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

40. Nor vanity, nor self; nor will I talk of myself.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

41. Nor criticize my brethren, nor my neighbors, for they are Thine, O E-O-Ih !
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

42. To do righteous works and lift up my fellows shall be my labor henceforth, forever!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

43. Make me strong in Thee, O E-O-Ih!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

44. And wise to do Thy will forever. Amen!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

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

1. So great were the words and music of the ceremonies that the people were entranced
\nbeyond measure; the old and divided kingdoms, which were without unity and discipline,
\nwere now replaced by extreme sanctity and decorum.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Sue said: Hear me, O God, I will counsel thee further: Know, then, that the false Gods
\nand false Lords have gone off to build up kingdoms of their own, nor know they what
\nhath happened in Hored. Suffer them to proceed until they have purified the corporeans
\nfrom familiars and fetals; but when they have finished, call thou another festival of all
\nthese people, and also send word to the false Gods and false Lords who deny Jehovih, the
\nAll Person, and they will come, bringing their slaves, having themselves adorned in
\nextravagant raiment and jewelry. For they will expect, by their pageantry, to triumph
\nover all other Gods and men, hoping to carry back with them millions of subjects.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. God said: I perceive, O Sue, Son of Jehovih. So, God did as commanded, and sure
\nenough, in course of time, the false Gods and false Lords stripped the barbarians of the
\nearth of their familiars and fetals, making slaves of such spirits in heaven. And it came to
\npass that God gave another festival, and it was greater than the first, and there were
\npresent upward of three thousand million angels, who had become enlisted in righteous
\nworks.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. This was the beginning of the third year of Sue; and his wisdom and power were now
\nmanifested all around the world, on earth and in heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. And this is what happened in reference to the false Gods and false Lords, who came to
\nthe festival, equipped in chariots and ships, and with banners and flags, and crowns and
\ndiadems, and such wonderful extravagancies, the like of which had not been in heaven
\nsince the flood. And each and every false God and false Lord endeavored to outdo the
\nothers in show and parade.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. As might be expected, the first day of the festival neither won their applause nor
\ncensure. The second day they ceased to attract attention; for the thrift and purity and
\nwisdom manifested in the countless millions of the second resurrection caused even
\nchildren to receive more praise than the Gods and Lords with all their glitter and show.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. On the third day one-half of the false Gods and false Lords cast aside their adornments
\nand appeared in plain white, pleading to be initiated into the mysteries of the second
\nresurrection. And on the day following, the rest of them came also, seeking like
\nadmission.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Whereupon the Light of Jehovih spake through God on the throne, saying:<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>9. Bethink ye, O ye Gods and Lords! What are ye doing? But as yesterday ye asked
\nfor kingdoms, desiring to be leaders and great workers, over and above your fellows.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. And ye obtained your desires, becoming Gods and Lords over millions. And these
\nbecame your dutiful subjects, and ye adorned your throne and your persons in great
\nsplendor.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Behold I gave a festival, and ye came as living witnesses of what self-made Gods and
\nLords could accomplish. And your dutiful subjects came with you to attest their loyalty
\nand good faith in your wisdom and power.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Now have ye cast aside your crowns and high estate, praying to become workers
\namongst the host of men and women! Are ye not mad? And are ye not making yourselves
\nthe destroyers of your own subjects? For, behold, because of your abjuration of self-pomp
\nand self-glory, all your subjects are cast aside in ignorance and misery.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. With one voice the self-Gods and self-Lords answered, saying: Alas, O God! What
\nshall we do? Our crowns we can give away; our raiment and jewels, and our thrones and
\nkingdoms. But, O God, we cannot give away our subjects; they will not go. We have
\nbound them to us; and we are bound to them because we accepted them. What shall we
\ndo, O God? The burden is more than we can bear!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. God said: Be not disconsolate, O Gods and Lords! Ye have done a great work.
\nYe have rescued millions and millions of familiars and fetals. And even before ye
\napplied for the resurrection, behold, most of your subjects had already deserted you!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. Hear the judgment of your Creator, which is that when all your subjects and fetals are
\nrisen in wisdom and virtue and good works, so as to take the second resurrection, even
\non that same day shall ye be promoted. For only until then can ye have freedom of soul.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. The voice ceased, and the self-Gods and self-Lords answered: Thou art just, O
\nJehovih. We will go to work amongst our poor and ignorant subjects, and make them
\ncomprehend Thy wisdom, power and justice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. For ten days the festival lasted, and then it ended. Thus were first established rites and
\nceremonies in the lower heaven as a power to work wisdom and virtue. And from that
\ntime ever after, music and marching and dancing were included in all ceremonies by the
\nGods and Lords of heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

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

1. In the fifth year of Sue he dispatched swift messengers to Opnetevoc, in etherea,
\nsaying: Thus saith Sue, God of two etherean worlds: Behold, I am sojourning on the
\nearth, and, with the God of heaven and his Lords, have prepared one thousand million
\nBrides and Bridegrooms for Jehovih’s etherean harvest. Greeting to Nista, of Ho and
\nTow’en, Goddess; in the name of Jehovih, send an airavagna and complete the
\nresurrection of the Father’s Brides and Bridegrooms!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. So it came to pass in etherea, the Goddess, Nista, provided an airavagna, an etherean
\nship, resolving to come as commander in chief. Sue advised God, saying: Make thou of
\nthis matter a great testimony in thy heaven. Send, therefore, thy messengers into all parts,
\nand to thy Lords on the earth, inviting all people to be present to witness the ascent of
\nJehovih’s Brides and Bridegrooms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. God did as commanded, and on the day of the appearance of Nista, daughter of<\/span>
\nJehovih, in her sun-ship, in the firmament, there were assembled in Hored countless
\nmillions of souls inspired of Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Great was the rejoicing and the manifestations of delight when the sun-ship came in
\nfull view, descending, like a world on fire. And when she passed Chinvat and was
\nfully within the earth’s vortex, the enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. They sang, and prayed, and danced, and clapped their hands, as if mad with delight.
\nMeantime the Brides and Bridegrooms had been arrayed in etherean white, and were now
\nsaluting those whom they were soon to leave.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Quietly the etherean hosts filled their part in the great play of the immortal
\nresurrection; very Gods and Goddesses in demeanor.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Nearer and nearer came Nista in her sun-ship, slowly turning and descending, with ten
\nthousand curtains suspended and waving; and ten times ten thousand banners and flags
\nwaving above and around.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. And then slowly down, lower and lower, till the airavagna rested on the plateau of
\nHored, to the south of the Temple of Jehovih.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Gussitavi, marshaless to the throne of Sue, in Izaracha, with ten thousand deputies,
\nwent forward, and with open arms received Nista, Goddess descended, saluting with the
\nsign of the star and square, having been warm friends two hundred thousand years in the
\nplains of Oayad, in the etherean es’tu of Hi’dan, the spiritual center of the orbit of the
\ngreat serpent when in Zagagowthaka.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. The es’enaurs of both hosts were chanting, and the angels of the airavagna coming
\nforth in hundreds of thousands, to be saluted by the previously trained Brides and
\nBridegrooms of Jehovih and by the hosts of Sue, the etherean laborers.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. And when Nista came up to the throne, God and great Sue rose up amidst the light,
\nnow fast gathering as a mantle of brilliant fire over the place of council.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Sue said: All hail, O Nista, Jehovih’s Daughter. God said: In Jehovih’s name,
\nwelcome, O Nista. To which Nista answered, saying: By the Wisdom and Power of
\nJehovih, O my beloved!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. And Sue and God parted, and Nista ascended and sat in the midst of the throne. After
\nthe ceremonies of salutation Nista said: Let the Brides and Bridegrooms of Jehovih
\napproach the throne of God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. The marshals then ushered them to their places, a thousand millions, and the swift
\nmessengers bounded them on all sides, so that the responses should be uniform and as if
\nspoken by one person. Whereupon Nista spake from the throne, and the Brides and
\nBridegrooms responded in the usual form of Gods and Goddesses, and then took the
\nnecessary vows and renunciations of the earth and lower heaven, according to Jehovih’s
\ncommandments.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. When the ceremonies were finished, God proclaimed one day of recreation, which
\nwas participated in joyously by upward of four thousand million souls.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. So, on the next day, Nista and her hosts, with the thousand millions of Brides and
\nBridegrooms, entered the airavagna, amidst the cheers and weeping of millions of
\natmosphereans, who had never witnessed so grand a spectacle.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

17. And then Nista, by the power of the Great Spirit, set her ship in motion; raised it up
\nfrom the lower heaven; moved it upward by her command, saying: Arise! arise!
\nAiravagna! By my will, arise! Embrace thou the realms of Great Jehovih! Arise.<\/span>
\n
\n<\/span>18. The es’enaurs and trumpeters were singing and playing; and those ascending threw
\ndown flowers and perfumes, and all manner of pleasant remembrances, to the countless
\nmillions below.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

19. In a little while the airavagna disappeared in high heaven.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

20. This, then, is what followed of Sue’s ministration, to wit: When the end of dan’ha had
\ncome, that is, the six years, he delivered God and his Lords and another thousand millions
\nof Brides and Bridegrooms, taking them into the extreme borders of Izaracha, where was
\nassigned the a’ji’an field of Rus’tsoo with twelve etherean worlds.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

21. And Sue left T-hi, as the anointed God of the lower heaven for the next four hundred
\nyears. And God (T-hi) anointed Lords for the divisions of the earth, the same as had been
\nheretofore. And the earth and heaven prospered, so that in the dan following there were
\nraised up two thousand million Brides and Bridegrooms.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

22. From this time on there was a decrease in the etherean harvests for two thousand
\nyears, after which time there came great darkness on the earth and heaven belonging to it;
\nand self-Gods filled all atmospherea. And, as for Lords, there rose up in every nation on
\nthe earth thousands and thousands, so that men and angels knew not if there were a true
\nGod or true Lord in all the universe.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

23. Thus ended the cycle of Sue, being three thousand and two hundred years.
\n<\/span>
