The Lords' Fifth Book

Being contemporaneous with the Book of Osiris, Son of Jehovih. As Osiris is of the higher heavens and the lower heavens, so is the Lords' Book of the lower heavens and of the earth, for the same period of time.

CHAPTER 1 Lords' Fifth

Of Vind'yu (Hindu) Scriptures

19/1.1. God apportioned certain parts of the earth for the tribes of Shem of the arc of Noe'chi, a heavenly place, seat of mountains, and Lords, All Wise; and from his Wisdom directed Hirto into his pastures.

19/1.2. Hirto, Son of Neph, born of an egg, descended out of the highest heaven. He was a most gracious Lord, and in deference to Om, struck himself (in his egg) against the rocks of heaven. So, when the egg was broken, one‑half of the shell ascended (becoming the dome of heaven), the other half became the foundation of the world.

19/1.3. The evil voice spoke to the children of men, and polluted them. About which, the Great Spirit spoke in the firmament of heaven, saying: To Hirto, son of Neph, I bequeath |495| the tribes of Shem forever. For they have withstood Anra'mainyus, |496| My everlasting enemy. So Hirto became Lord of Shem, and he banished Anra'mainyus down under the earth, where he busies himself building fires for the furnaces of hell, the smoke and flames of which come up through the earth and are called Agni (volcanoes), so that his existence would be known to men.

19/1.4. Thus came Evil from Good; but so that Everlasting Wisdom would prevail with mortals and the spirits of heaven, All Light created Visvasrij (universal system and order) |497| as a creator to abide forever. Before this time there were two things in the world: Voidness was one, and Vachis was the other. Vachis vach[that is, Speech spoke --Ed.], and the world was. So it came to pass that Voidness was divided into two parts, the seen and the unseen worlds.

19/1.5. The unseen spoke in the wind three sounds, E‑O‑IH, and was called by mortals Eolin, God of the wind; so Eolin showed Himself in three colors: yellow, which is the highest color; blue, which is the coldest color; and red, which is the warmest color.

19/1.6. Eolin said: Out of My three sounds, all sounds are made; out of My three colors, all colors are made. He was the All Master.

19/1.7. He said: Three worlds I have made: the earth world, which is for mortals; the all high heavens, which are for pure and wise angels; and the intermediate world, which rests on the earth.

19/1.8. Eolin said: Three lights I have created: the sun, to rule the day; the moon, to rule the night; and the burning fire, for the use of man.

19/1.9. Three spirit lights I created: Ruch, which issues out of My soul; Shem, which comes from My Lords in heaven to the souls of men; and Vas, which comes from the spirits of the intermediate world.

19/1.10. Eolin said: I am in three states: Ghost, which is ever‑present and unchangeable; Corpor, which is in places, like the earth, stars, sun and moon; and Motion, which is everlasting unrest. Such am I, Eolin, Mightiest in three, in All Place and All Time.

19/1.11. When the egg was broken and the shell distributed, lo and behold, the se'mu of the egg had nowhere to rest, and being void of compact |498| distributed itself in the void world and was not seen. Then Hirto, High Lord of the upper heavens, sent whirlwinds abroad, and they gathered of the substance of the egg and rained it down on the earth.

19/1.12. Uz, son of Eolin, ran quickly and turned Anra'mainyus' fires to the north, and Eolin touched the earth with His quickening hand, and instantly all the living were created.

19/1.13. So Eolin said: To you, My first‑begotten Son, I bequeath the earth, it shall be yours to keep forever. Neither shall there be any other God.

19/1.14. But in course of time the evil voice (satan) encompassed the earth with serpents that spoke like men and angels, and the serpents made friends with All Evil, Father of Anra'mainyus; and the women of the tribes of A'su went and tempted the first men, the I'hins, and so, evil offspring were born into the world.

19/1.15. Hirto, Lord of the earth, drove the first men out of the region of light, and set high‑born angels on the boundaries of Chinvat, at the gates of the upper heaven, to guard the tribes of Faithists for ever after. Nevertheless, evil, being set on foot, soon overspread the earth. So Hirto rested his hands on his thighs, and swore an oath to All Light that he would drown the world and all the living. And in answer to the Lord a seraphim, a mighty fire‑ship, came down out of the sun region, opening the floodgate of heaven with a sea of water, and all the people perished, except the I'hins, the sacred people, friends of the Lord of earth.

19/1.16. So the Lord took the hollow of his hand and lifted up his people, and gave them doves' wings, and they flew far and came to the land where the Lord dwells; so it was called Shem as a proof to all the world.

19/1.17. In those days God was so near to mortals, that when an honest man spoke, the Lord answered him. And Anra'mainyus was near also, and when an evil man spoke an evil voice answered him. For that reason, the Lord singled out the purest and most virtuous of women; the wisest, strongest and most faithful, best of men, and married them, giving two women to one man, according to law. And the heirs of the wisest and most virtuous of men and women were wiser than their parents. And the Lord gave this secret to his people (prophets, priests) in the house of God, and they gave the knowledge to the chosen people.

19/1.18. Hirto said: For this reason, O my beloved, you shall not wed with the druks, the dark people, that burrow in the ground, lest your seed become polluted, and your heirs go down to hell with Anra'mainyus.

19/1.19. But Anra'mainyus, evil creator of evil, went to the druk women; speaking to them in a dark corner, he said: You have the root of Babao to make delirious; fetch it to the white people that came with doves' wings; fetch, and they will eat and get drunk. And when the young men are drunk, go to them, for they are my gift.

19/1.20. So, of those who came out of the arc of Noe'chi, sin was newborn; for the druks went in where they were drunk, saying: Lest the white people and the yellow people fall upon us, and our seed perish on the earth, make us of flesh and kin, bone and bone, blood and blood.

19/1.21. Hirto, the Lord God, saw into the darkness, and being compassionate, said: I will visit great punishment on Anra'mainyus for this; his head shall droop in sorrow. But as for the I'hins, being drunk, I will forgive them. And as to the newborn people, they shall become the mightiest of all people in the whole world, because they came out of both darkness and light. The darkness in them shall battle all darkness; the light that is in them shall then master over their own darkness. But as for the druks, they shall go down in darkness forever. ||

CHAPTER 2 Lords' Fifth

19/2.1. Shem had many tribes, who settled on the borders of the sea at Haventi and Gats; and the Lord (Hirto) dwelt with them, speaking through the chief prophet, Tah (Tae), who made a record on stone, and wood, and cloth, of the Lord's word, and these were preserved in the Valens (house) of God (Hirto).

19/2.2. And when Tah was old, and died, the mantle of the Lord's gifts fell on Tah's son; who also had power to hear the Voice; and he also kept a record of the Lord's words.

19/2.3. And when he died, his son succeeded in the same way; and, because of this truth, the Lord called all of them by the sacred name, Tah, the order of which continued for a hundred generations. And it came to pass that the I'hins filled the country far and near with cities; and yet, in all that time, they killed nothing that had been created alive to breathe, on the earth, or in the water, or in the air above.

19/2.4. In the early days of the I'hins, the Lord spoke through the chief prophet, saying: When the inhabitants of one city or tribe marry with those of another city or tribe, behold, it is only just that the names of father and mother be given to the offspring.

19/2.5. But men were in darkness in those days, and did not understand God. So, accordingly, the inhabitants combined the names belonging to the neighboring tribes. That is to say, one tribe said, ut (wheat); another tribe for the same thing, said, yat; and another tribe said, wat; and another, hoot; and so on. So, the later generations said, utyatwathoot (wheat), and this was called the Yi‑ha language; and so great were the number and the size of words used, that the writings of the ancient prophets were lost, because none could understand them.

19/2.6. The Lord spoke, saying: Because I desired to preserve the genealogy of my chosen, you have applied the law to things that are worthless in my sight. You have built a babble [babel; i.e., bah'bah'i --Ed.], a tower of words, so that your tongues are confounded one with another. You strove to reach to heaven with a multitude of words, but made food for hada (hades).

19/2.7. The Lord said: Come, now, into murdhan (sacred spirit communion), and I will deliver you. So the people sat in crescent, and the Lord came between the horns, saying: Behold, you are Tau, |499| but I am the S'ri (Spirit). My word shall stand against the entire world. |500|

19/2.8. Hear, then, the commandments of God (Hautot). Because you have built a tower of words, you are confounded. However I do not come in anger, but to deliver you. Neither will I write anymore, nor teach written words, for they are only folly, except to the learned.

19/2.9. By spoken words I will teach, and you shall repeat after me. And these shall be sacred words to the end of the world.

19/2.10. So the Lord taught orally in the temple, face to face with the people, and they learned the words and their meaning.

19/2.11. And those who learned the best, the Lord named Ritvij, |501| because he made them teachers over others. The Lord said: Because you have confounded the language of the ancients, I will give you a new language, and it shall be vede [perfect --Ed.], against all my enemies; nor shall any man anymore meddle with the words I give. |502|

19/2.12. Hirto (Lord) said: Love your Lord God only, and with all your soul. Turn your face away from the angels who come to you; they are the emissaries of Anra'mainyus.

19/2.13. Hirto said: Love the sun and moon, and all things on the earth, for they are the Lord's gift. What is spirit? It flies away; it is nothing.

19/2.14. Banish the druj (spirits) that prophesy. They are nothing but lies; they are Anra'mainyus' emissaries.

19/2.15. Learn to prophesy by the sun, and by the moon and by the stars. They tell no lies.

19/2.16. || The Lord then gave the signs of zodiac (the horses, cows, lions, sheep and birds) that rule upon the earth, and upon the winds of heaven, and on the heat and cold, and the sun, moon and stars, and spring, summer, fall and winter. But these things are omitted here in this book, because they are known in mortal histories to this day. ||

19/2.17. The Lord says in this day, the Kosmon era: Behold, O man, in the time of Osiris, I, the Lord, raised up many philosophers on the earth, and inspired them not only to fulfill the legends of the ancients, but also to write books of disputation, in order to turn man's mind away from the consultation of familiar spirits. I inspired men to write in this manner, namely:

19/2.18. Touching the matter of the egg, and also of Anra'mainyus, they appear never to have been proven; neither are they given on the authority of Hirto, the Lord of earth. It is reasonable to suppose that the Great Spirit divided up the worlds among His Gods and Lords, and that the earth (Bhu) fell to Hirto as his portion; while the stars, which are also worlds like this, fell to other Lords and Gods. But as for evil Gods, like Anra'mainyus, who has ever seen one?

19/2.19. As for Hirto, the Lord, I have seen him myself, and so have thousands of other honest prophets. But when the Lord spoke it was not about foolish stories, but to teach man how to live, so that he could be happy and a glory to the Great Spirit. Neither did I ever hear the Lord assert that he was more than the spirit of a man risen from the earth. In my opinion, therefore, the Lord is the captain over the earth, and over all other spirits. But to know even this, is not so great a good truth as to know how to do righteously.

19/2.20. Therefore, of all things man should learn, it should especially be what he can see and hear and prove, rather than about spirits whom he cannot prove, nor find when he wants them.

499  A crescent is often compared to a bull's horns. Most likely, the word Taurus had its origin as here described. Taw and Tawri are bull in the Yi-ha language. The word, of later date, signified force, or bull‑like. The laws issued in a spirit circle are called "bulls," or Tau. Taurus, force, manifested especially in the procreative element, at a certain season of the year, as manifested in animals. Known by signs in the zodiac. Hence, as the Pope issues bulls. --Ed.

500  That is, there is no power in all the world that can prevail against the word of the Lord.

501  The word ritual, in English, can be traced back to ritvij, the present Sanscrit [Sanskrit] word for priest, or teacher of sacred things. Nearly all the Hebrew words pertaining to the mythical Tower of Babel, and the confusion of languages, correspond with Yi‑ha, and its descendant language, the Sanscrit. In English we have babble, and gad, and gab, which are real Sanscrit words, as spoken. --Ed.

502  The new language given was called Vede. Although it later became (with other languages) part of Sanskrit, this latter word still means "perfect."

CHAPTER 3 Lords' Fifth

19/3.1. The Lord said: As a farmer plants wheat in one field, rice in another and flax in a third, so do I, the Lord, inhabit the earth with the seed of man. Neither shall any wise man say: These things came by chance; that one people just happened to settle in Jaffeth (China), another in Vind'yu (India), and another in Arabin'ya [Ham, or Africa plus part of Near East; see i018 --ed.]. Such is the argument of my enemies, says the Lord. Not perceiving the wisdom of my work as it happens [as it is unfolding --ed.], they fail to extend judgment into my plans of thousands of years, and so, stubbornly, shut themselves up in ignorance, saying: There is no God.

19/3.2. For I foresaw the breadth of the earth, and that it should be subdued for the glory of man; and in the early days, I divided my armies with wisdom.

19/3.3. To Ham I allotted the foundation of the migratory tribes of the earth. And of the tribes of Ham, behold, I selected many colors of men; through which I foreordained the name Ham to stand as a living testimony to the end of the world. For I foresaw that the time would come when the nations would look back searching for histories of my peoples, and I erected certain words and signs which would be testimony in the later times of earth.

19/3.4. The tribes of Ham were of all colors (black, white, yellow, copper, red and brown); nevertheless, they were I'hins (Faithists), having flat nails and short arms, and desiring to acquire knowledge. |503| And I brought them to a country of sand fields and with fields of rich pastures interspersed, where lived only a few natives, the dark people, with short hair. Neither did I omit even the hair of the head of man without providing testimony of my word.

19/3.5. I provided testimony |504| of the I'hins in all the divisions of the earth, with long hair belonging to the tribes that worshipped Jehovih, so that man of the Kosmon era might perceive that the land from which they (I'hin ancestors) sprang is not above the water.

19/3.6. Behold the multiple (Yi‑ha) language of the tribes of Shem! Side by side with the tribes of Jaffeth I raised them. And, behold, the latter use the derivation of the Panic language to this day. |505|

19/3.7. For I gave to the tribes of these two different lands my ten commandments and ten invocations, not to be written, but to be spoken and taught from mouth to ear, to be sacred in the language given.

19/3.8. In which man shall perceive that the same stories of the egg, and of the origin of evil in the world, could not have been communicated by mortals. |506|

19/3.9. For I locked up enough of the Panic language in Jaffeth as a testimony to be discovered in future years; showing that, unlike Ham and Shem, a mighty nation could retain one language for thousands of years.

19/3.10. For I foresaw that philosophers would try to prove that languages were of mortal origin, and that they would change according to the growth of knowledge among men.

19/3.11. Behold, I gave scriptures to all my people, enjoining |507| some to adhere to the text; and, so, I preserved the work of my hand.

19/3.12. The tribes of Ham were previously ordained with characteristics to make them love to emigrate westward; and the tribes of Jaffeth and Shem with characteristics to make them love to stay within their own countries. And the tribes of Guatama were ordained with characteristics to make them love to go eastward. For I set a boundary to the tribes of Guatama, that they would not reach the ocean on the east. |508|

19/3.13. The Lord said: Having designed Ham for teaching the barbarian world of me and my dominion, I also prepared them so that, through their seed, men and women would have hair neither straight nor short, but long and curled, and red, and white, and brown, by which the genealogy of nations might be traced in future times. ||

19/3.14. Now, nestled in between the three great countries, Jaffeth, Shem and Ham, was located the chief place of the I'huans, and here they founded a new nation; and the Lord called them Par'si'e, |509| signifying, warrior Faithists, because he created them as a shield, to guard his chosen, the I'hins.

19/3.15. The difference between the I'huans and the Par'si'e was that the I'huans lived scattered about near the I'hins, but the Par'si'e'ans lived in a nation by themselves.

19/3.16. Nevertheless, they were all of the same blood and kin, being half‑breeds between the I'hins and the native druks; and they were large, and mostly of the color of new copper.

19/3.17. And because the Par'si'e were favored by the Lord, the Lord gave them separate laws, and commanded them not to mix with the druks; which commandment they kept for more than a thousand years.

19/3.18. But in course of time, the Par'si'e'ans were tempted by the druks, and fell from their high estate, and they became cannibals.

19/3.19. And the Lord sent the Ghans to travel in search of his people; and lo and behold, ten tribes of the Lord's people were lost in the wilderness; and this was the country of the Par'si'e'ans, and that land was filled with wild goats. From which came the name, Land of Goats.

19/3.20. And the lost tribes, not being flesh eaters, were at a loss for food; and they said: Come, let us live on goat's milk.

19/3.21. And they lived like this for a long season, taming the goats, and keeping herds of them. And they roved about, driving their herds with them, for which reason they took the name of shepherd kings.

19/3.22. And the Lord looked on them with favor, saying: These that call themselves shepherd kings shall have this country. Behold, out of the seed of these people, I will do mighty wonders. |510|

19/3.23. The Lord said: What man could discover, I, the Lord, left for him to discover; what man could not discover, I, the Lord, taught him.

19/3.24. To the shepherd kings I revealed how to make leather out of skins; nor had man any means of his own to make this discovery. || The shepherd kings made bags of leather in which they carried milk, which was thus churned; and they made butter, which was the first butter made in this world.

503  This is the key phrase for understanding the homogeneity of races of today. If you have flat nails instead of claws, arms that don't extend to the knees, and the desire to acquire knowledge, then you are indeed so because of the I'hins. (See 19/4.24-25 for more I'hin ancestry signs.)

Also, here we see explicitly that not all I'hins were yellow or white, but Africa, for one, had I'hins of all colors; and enough so, that there was no mode or general color. Because the I'hins came to Ham from Pan, this means the I'hins of Pan were also of all colors, although the modes (greatest numbers) there were in the white category and the yellow category. (See 06/2.4<fn-stout> with regard to color.)

504  I'hins had long hair; see comparison at image i014 (with text). For man, hair length was an outward sign of spiritual capacity, although not necessarily of spiritual attainment (practice, competence, proficiency, facility). The capacity for eternal life comes because of one's I'hin ancestry; and, while in the past, hair length  was an outward sign of I'hin ancestry, today virtually all humans, regardless of hair length, have capacity for eternal life (thus showing their I'hin ancestry). For it is in the Line of Light, which is of the Tree of Light through the Tree of Life, that one's identity is procured; remembering, that, while the caterpillar (flesh body) crawls along the ground, it is the butterfly (spirit within) that rises into the air (enters heaven).

505  The two languages are exactly opposite in construction; one monosyllabic [* the language of Jaffeth], and the other composed of a wonderful combination of syllables, sometimes as many as thirty to forty to one word. Think of the following: Vahhomvokwijomyissitiviyubuyhhoma­vashstbahhyodahuittayaivi, for the word firmament. --Ed. [* Note that this is a generalization, for while the language of Jaffeth (China) was chiefly monosyllabic, it did have some polysyllabic words, although generally of not more than two or three syllables.]

506  The same legend exists in China, in regard to the egg and the origin of evil; the only difference being the name signifying satan or serpent. "Hiss" or "h'ce" is Chinese for serpent. This is Panic, that is, what the serpent says; but when "AH" speaks, we know "ah" means earth. In the Ezra Bible, the serpent spoke to Eve, i.e., the earth spoke; or, in plain English, the flesh tempted the spirit. In the Hindu scriptures, the first race, A'su, tempted the white people with wings. Had one of these countries obtained the legend from the other, the languages would have corresponded. In the Chinese version, the Tower of Babel (babbling languages) is not referred to. Why? Certainly, because in that country there was no confusion of languages. --Ed.

507  instructing, requiring, compelling, impelling

508  The mound builders came from the west, but never reached as far as to the Atlantic Ocean. --Ed.

509  Par'si'e is the origin of the nation and term Persia.

510  See 17/2.6 through 17/3.17, especially 17/2.16 and 17/3.4-9 for the story of how the ten tribes of Ghans got lost; and now we see these became the start of the shepherd kings.

CHAPTER 4 Lords' Fifth

19/4.1. God said: I preserved the I'hin race to be without evil, as the foundation of my light, from whom I could reach forth to the tribes of darkness.

19/4.2. For I foreordained |511| not to go within darkness to battle it, but to stand outside it, and give an example of righteousness (the I'hin) for man to look upon.

19/4.3. And I planned from the beginning that my chosen would labor through examples of cities and kingdoms of righteousness.

19/4.4. The evil man and evil priest, who are subjects to satan and his hosts, remain in evil, |512| preaching righteousness without a city or kingdom of example. But my chosen go away by themselves and build their cities, as a testimony of their faith in the Father.

19/4.5. And they practice the fullness of my commandments in their lives toward one another.

19/4.6. To him who says: This is mine, I have not spoken. To him who says: My house, my lands, I have not spoken.

19/4.7. For inasmuch as these things belong to them, such men belong to such things, and not to me.

19/4.8. To illustrate this truth, I raised up separate from the world's people, the I'hins, who were my living examples of righteousness.

19/4.9. Do not think, however, that the I'hins were the perfection of manhood and womanhood. They were not a developed race, nor righteous because of their own knowledge.

19/4.10. By the constant presence of my exalted angels, they were obsessed to righteousness, being restrained away from evil. They were my sermon before the tribes of druks and cannibals that covered the earth over; and, by virtue of signs and miracles, and by nonresistance, I preserved them.

19/4.11. For man of himself evolves only to power in evil; and for this reason, O man, you shall discern |513| my dominion over the races of men, to work righteousness and goodwill.

19/4.12. And my examples reached into the souls of the barbarians, so that, in future ages, I could prepare them to hear my voice, and to comprehend my commandments.

19/4.13. For it is the fullness of light among men, when, without my presence or the presence of my hosts, they shall understand virtue and knowledge, practicing them of their own accord. In which time, men shall perceive that righteousness, peace, and love toward one another, are the foundation of the happiness of the spirit, and the only light of its resurrection.

19/4.14. The Lord said: Do not think that I came to one nation alone, leaving the others in darkness; I did not come to one alone, but to all the divisions of the earth. I held my hand over them according to what was required for them according to the times, and they accomplished that which was designed from the beginning.

19/4.15. The will of Jehovih is not for man to be forever led, because, lo, his Lord says; but for man to ultimately have the light of practicing good works organically, from infancy up.

19/4.16. The Lord said: A teacher who does all things for his pupil, also sacrifices his pupil; he who teaches his pupil wrongly, sins against the Father; he who teaches his pupil not at all, is accessory to evil. In this light the Lord, your God, stands over the children of men.

19/4.17. Behold, I have demonstrated that my chosen can maintain themselves unharmed among barbarians; also that by unrestrained marriages a sacred people is quickly lost among barbarians.

19/4.18. For man, witnessing terrible conflicts, would rather have sons of strong limbs and arms, and crafty minds, to do abundant murderous work; from which condition he has no incentive to rise in gentleness and love, for the glory of the spirit.

19/4.19. So that I, your Lord, could show future generations, first, that without my hand in the work, no good nor peace could come among men; and, second, that only by a race of I'hins, as examples of my power, through signs and miracles, could the barbarians be reached for their own good.

19/4.20. Not only did I leave the ruins of my cities, which had no gates of entrance, and houses without doors of entrance, so that you would have testimony of the race of I'hins, but I have shown you that only by such a procedure could the barbarians be induced to a higher evolution.

19/4.21. Do not think, O man, that I did not foresee the time when men would question whether the Great Spirit ever placed a Lord over the earth; and that man would say: Behold, there is no Lord and no God. For I foresaw these times, and provided angels to go in advance, to show, first, the evolution of the races of men from out of the lowest darkness; and, second, that the cause of the evolution came from the Great Spirit, and was directed to righteousness; but would not have been so, except for the Lord, your God.

19/4.22. For I left sufficient tribes to this day, who dwell in darkness, even cannibals, as a testimony, that of themselves they possess nothing to cause a desire for evolution into knowledge, peace, industry, love, and good works to one another.

19/4.23. Will man not say: One people is raised up in consequence of the presence of their neighbor, and without a Lord or God, and the angels of heaven?

19/4.24. Now, behold, I have left savages at your door, and you do not raise them up, but destroy them. Showing you, that even your wisest and most learned have no power in resurrection. Neither have I left any way open for the resurrection of barbarians, except by examples of Faithists, who shall practice righteousness and miracles. |514|

19/4.25. And there shall rise up those who will do these things; and because of their success, they shall also be testimony of the I'hin race, in whom I laid the foundation for the redemption of the whole earth.

511  set beforehand as strategy, predetermined

512  That is, with the world's people. --Ed.

513  recognize, make out clearly, behold, detect

514  Miracle here likely means proof of the spirit world, and especially of the dominion of Jehovih and His heavens. But more generally, a miracle may refer to the fortuitous circumstances or results, which often attend the course of good works.

CHAPTER 5 Lords' Fifth

19/5.1. Thus the Lord established the five peoples who were saved from Pan; and he commanded them to preserve Panic words in their respective countries, which they did, and many of which exist to this day. |515|

19/5.2. Here follows what became of these I'hins, namely:

19/5.3. Those that came to Guatama survived twenty‑one thousand years, and then became extinct.

19/5.4. Those that came to Jaffeth survived twenty‑one thousand years, and then became extinct.

19/5.5. Those that came to Shem survived twelve thousand years, and then became extinct by amalgamation. |516|

19/5.6. Those that came to Ham survived twenty‑one thousand years, and then became extinct by amalgamation.

19/5.7. Those of Guatama attained to one thousand large cities, and three thousand small cities, being more than four million souls. And they never had any king or queen, or other ruler, except the Lord, who ministered to them through the city fathers. And they retained their sacred name of Guatama to the last of them; but the I'huans called them Oech'lo'pan, signifying, people of another world [continent --Ed.]. |517|

19/5.8. And in the course of time they became diminutive, and lost their desire to marry. And there came great darkness (ocgokok) on the earth, with falling ashes, heat, and fevers; and so the Lord took them up to heaven.

19/5.9. Those of Jaffeth attained to two thousand large cities, and seven thousand small ones, being more than eight million souls. And they had no king, serving the Lord only. And they retained to the end of their line, the name Jaf‑fa; but the I'huans called them Tua Git, signifying, people of spirit light.

19/5.10. And there came a'ji on the earth, and it touched them with impotency, and they brought forth no more heirs; so the Lord took them home.

19/5.11. Those of Shem attained to six hundred large cities, and two thousand small cities, being more than two million souls. Nor did they have any king, but they served the Lord through the city fathers. And they retained their name, Shem, to the last of them; but the I'huans called them Sri‑vede‑iyi, signifying, people of the true light, woman‑like. And impotence came upon them, and they disappeared, even as a drop of water in the sunlight, and no man knew when they ceased to be.

19/5.12. But hoping to preserve their seed to the Lord, many of them married with the I'huans; but their children became I'huans also, having neither the silken hair nor the musical voices of the I'hins, nor the light of the upper heavens.

19/5.13. Those of Ham attained to one thousand two hundred large cities, and three thousand small cities, being four million souls. But, being of mixed colors, they did not become impotent. But they broke the law of God more than all other Faithists, being of warm blood; and they mixed greatly with the I'huans. And they had no kings or queens, serving the Lord only, through the city fathers. And they retained the name of Ham to the end of their line, when they ceased to exist as a separate people because of their amalgamation with the I'huans.

19/5.14. Regarding the tribes that went in the two ships to the north land (Japan), after a thousand years, no man could draw the line between them and the I'huans, for they mingled with them, and were lost, as I'hins. Nevertheless, they redeemed the barbarians into wisdom and peace.

515  Many Japanese words, Chinese words, East Indian [India], Central American, Algonquin and Phoenician words, are nearly identical in sound and meaning, especially as spoken by the uneducated. The sound, "An," sharp, plays a conspicuous part. --Ed.

516  1891 Editor: Nevertheless in hundreds of years after, there came into Shem I'hins from Jaffeth who survived thousands of years. [Also there were I'hin migrants from Ham coming into Shem. --ed.]

517  The North American Indians still have a legend of the mound‑builders, that they were people who came from another world and dwelt on earth for a long season, to teach them of the Great Spirit, and of the Summer Land in the sky. --Ed.

CHAPTER 6 Lords' Fifth

19/6.1. God said: In the time of Osiris, your Lord provided for the light and knowledge that had been with the I'hins, to be merged into the new races, the Ghans and I'huans. This foundation was laid by the Lord and his angels.

19/6.2. Before this time, the I'hins could not inspire the barbarians to make leather and cloth; nor could they inspire them to industries of any kind in the ways of virtue and peace.

19/6.3. The Lord provided the inhabitants of the earth with oracle houses; in which, the Lord could speak face to face with mortals, through his angels, chosen for this purpose. In this manner the Lord taught mortals.

19/6.4. Persuading them to industries, peace and righteousness, imitating the ways of the I'hins.

19/6.5. Teaching them about the stars, sun and moon; showing them how to find the times and seasons of the earth.

19/6.6. Inspiring them to observe the stars, and to name them, which names are preserved to this day. ||

19/6.7. I have established landmarks, says the Lord. What I do, man cannot do. I lift the barbarian up; he gives up his cruel practices by my command.

19/6.8. I call him to the observation of the stars, and he heeds my voice.

19/6.9. Behold, O all you who say there is no Lord, I have left a remnant of barbarians. Go try your hand. Let them, who find the cause of the progress of man to come of the earth [i.e., physical causes --ed.], go raise up the barbarian.

19/6.10. I say to man: Go commune with the spirits of the dead, and man does it. I say: Come away from such worship, and fall down before the stars, and man does it.

19/6.11. Jehovih said: My Lord, My God, go; call man to one thing today, and let him worship it. And tomorrow call him to another, and let him worship it. For man shall fall down and worship everything in heaven and earth. By trying them man shall know them. For in the day of My glory, kosmon, man shall put away all worshipful things except Me, his Creator. ||

19/6.12. The Lord God said: Through his worshipful talents man can be raised up. Even as to great learning, man will not pursue it till he first worships it. ||

19/6.13. In the time of Osiris, the Lord named the stars in heaven after the legendary names of Gods and Lords. And the Lord did not teach that man should worship them, but that he should learn their glory and majesty in the firmament.

19/6.14. But man forgot the Creator because of the wonder of His works. Even to this day, man inclines to view as substantial and real, things that are seen, and to reject the All Potent, which is unseen.

19/6.15. This was the command of God: for man to learn corporeal things as well as spiritual. And I, the Lord, carried away the spirits of the dead, not permitting man and angels to commune together. For they had done this previously, and, so, both had rejected the higher heavens.

19/6.16. Jehovih says: It is not the plan of My heavens for the spirits of the dead to remain on the earth forever, engaging in mortal servitude and practices.

19/6.17. Behold, the way of My kingdom is upward; man on the earth shall seek to rise upward, rather than call the angels of heaven downward.

19/6.18. And so the Lord carried away the spirits of the dead, and he turned man's judgment to learning the glories of the lower kingdoms (corpor).

19/6.19. And man advanced in great learning; both of the sun, moon and stars, and of all things on the face of the earth.

19/6.20. The Lord said: These signs I have given man, so that he may comprehend the cycles of his Creator: When spiritual research is chief among men, they do not advance in science, art, or inventions, that belong to the earth. But when man is bereft |518| of spiritual aspiration, he advances in corporeal knowledge, inventions, and investigations.

19/6.21. These signs foretell the changes being wrought on mortals by the hand of the Almighty, through His Gods and Lords.

19/6.22. God said: Behold, I raised up great kings and queens on the earth; and I gave them pageantry, rites and ceremonies, like that in heaven. And these (the rulers and grandeur of court life) I made to be an object of aspiration by the multitude, so that they would learn to provide themselves with the luxuries of all created things.

19/6.23. For I did not desire man to become spiritual until the earth and all manner of savage beasts and serpents were subdued. Otherwise man would have descended into impotence, and failed on the earth.

19/6.24. I have left these testimonies before you to this day: that the spiritual man inclines to shut himself up in seclusion and prayer; but the Osirians |519| go forth to work manfully. |520| ||

19/6.25. In those days the Lord established reciprocities between kings and queens. And they proceeded in this manner:

19/6.26. The central kingdom was called the sun‑kingdom, and the others were called satellites. And the chief ruler was called The Sun‑King, or King of the Sun.

19/6.27. And the king maintained an observatory, for determining the times and seasons of the sun, moon, earth and stars. The name of the observatory was Temple of the Stars (Oke'i'git'hi).

19/6.28. The Lord said to man: Build a chamber for God within the temple of the stars.

19/6.29. And so man built it. And the Lord chose seers, one for every star chamber; and the seer sat within, with a table before him, on which sand was sprinkled. And the Lord wrote in the sand, with his finger, the laws of heaven and earth.

19/6.30. Thus God gave to man the names of the stars and their seasons, and the seasons of the sun, moon and earth.

19/6.31. And the seer gave the table to the king; and the king proclaimed its words. And God gave man sacred days, for feasts, and rites and ceremonies; and they were set according to the times of the moon and stars.

19/6.32. And the king, by command of God, caused the people to watch the stars, moon and sun, so they would know the sacred days.

19/6.33. The Lord said: I have days for planting, and days for reaping, days for sailing of ships, and days for males and females. |521| By the stars in the firmament, and by the moon's changes, man shall learn to know my times and seasons.

19/6.34. So man took to learning from the stars, moon and sun, to ascertain the will of God.

19/6.35. And nowhere in all the world did man prosper so greatly in the Osirian philosophy as he did in Par'si'e, and in Jaffeth (China), and most of all among the shepherd kings.

518  lacking, deprived of, cut off from, left unprovided for, stripped of, dispossessed of

519  whoever is a materialist; or searcher exclusively after corporeal knowledge; or who has man or the sun, or corporea, as the central figure or All Highest

520  To work manfully is to cast one's spirit forth with power to congregate and make.

Though these two qualities (corporeal and spiritual) may seem incompatible, yet, now, in kosmon, as people reach spiritual maturity, both qualities (spiritual and corporeal) will become as a unit in balance. Moreover, since the unseen (spiritual) has dominion over the seen (corporeal), then the corporeal qualities will become subject to the spirit---resulting in the physical talents and corporeal knowledge serving the good of all.

And, even though the spiritual and the corporeal come into balance as a unit, the distinction still stands regarding the two, that the corpor in man will tend to go forth manfully and the spiritual in man will tend to inward.

521  Most likely this refers to the time of rut or estrus of the various types of animals, perhaps also duration of gestation and general time of birth. As to ships sailing, this perhaps refers to tides, prevailing winds and seasonal variation of ocean currents.

CHAPTER 7 Lords' Fifth

19/7.1. Great became the wisdom of man in that day, and his power and glory were greater than had ever been since the world began. He established mighty kingdoms and sub‑kingdoms, over the lands of Jaffeth, Shem, Par'si'e, and Arabin'ya (Ham).

19/7.2. He excelled in building temples and palaces; and in all manner of inventions; in fabrics of linen and silk, and wool and fine leather; in writing books and tablets; in mathematics; in laws and reciprocities; in navigation, and in inland travel; in making thermometers, barometers, magnetic needles, telescopes and microscopes; and in chemistry and botany.

19/7.3. Truly the philosophers of those days knew the mysteries of heaven |522| and earth.

19/7.4. And man grew no longer thankful to God and his Lords; but man became conceited, saying:

19/7.5. The Gods are fools! All things are Nature, and of growth. Man had become wise in spite of God and his Lords. All things evolve into higher states; it is the natural order. Neither is there any All Person, Jehovih! He is void, like the wind. ||

19/7.6. And God saw the conceit of man, and he said: Behold, he whom I have raised up, turns against me. Now I will go away from man for a season, so that he may learn wisdom. Behold, man shall also find that many of his fellows whom he raises up, turn against him also.

19/7.7. So the Lord departed out of the star chambers; and, lo and behold, the places became filled with spirits of the newly dead, who did not know the heavens above or the way of the Almighty.

19/7.8. And man inquired of them: Behold, you are now a spirit! Tell me, is there any God, or Lord, or Jehovih?

19/7.9. And the spirits, desiring to flatter man, and also not knowing the heavenly kingdoms, answered, saying: No, there is no God, no Lord, no All Person, Jehovih!

19/7.10. So the kings issued edicts, commanding the people to no longer worship God, or Lord, or Jehovih!

19/7.11. But woe, for the judgment of kings and queens. Man, having inherent worship in his soul, ceased indeed to worship God and his Lords, and even Jehovih; but, instead, he took to worshipping the stars.

19/7.12. Now, the spirits manifesting in the temples advised one thing through one seer, and something else through another; for they were of little knowledge, and wholly unorganized.

19/7.13. So, presently, the kings took to war against one another. Anarchy ensued, and man fell to destroying all the glories he had made.

19/7.14. Thus again, after three thousand years, man went down in darkness; again fell under the obsession of drujas, and again became a barbarian.
