Chapter 11
The following signs are given in words, namely: Flag, rising sun. Salute the East! Children of dawn. The signs are, first, the folded hands; second, the soothe, and third, the supplication. || O you setting sun! Response: In Jehovih’s name! || How many chiefs dwell in dawn? Response: Three or more. || How stationed, O You High Noon? Response: The three lights are east, west and south. The smoke and fire rise from the altar!
Here follows the SECONDARY (in the chamber above). The voice of the east: How are the lines of living fire, O Noon? Response: As the sun, WHICH IS THE LIGHT OF THE CORPOREAL EARTH, rises in the east to adorn the day; and ascends to the south at high noon as its glory, and sets in the west, So, IN REMEMBRANCE OF JEHOVIH, are the representatives of a lodge of dawn stationed. || What is dawn? R: Three years or more at the youth of a cycle.
The students then present their tables and the college is declared open in the words: In Jehovih’s name, give ear to the Voice.
With Moses and Capilya both the above were merged into one lodge.
The second began with flag at High Noon: O you Fire of Heaven! How many chiefs (rab’bahs) mark the altar of Jehovih? Response: Four or more. || O you Setting Sun, speak: How stand the fathers? Response: My hands shield the light of the All Seeing Eye! My heart I cast to the winds! As a circle, divided into four quarters, is the symbol of the name Jehovih, thus, (making the signs) cloven twice across, WHO HAS DOMINION OVER ALL THINGS, so are the four SIDES OF THE WORLD REPRESENTED BY FOUR FATHERS in the chamber of light, in THE TEMPLE OF HOLIES, which is square with east and west and north and south, FOR THE HONOR AND GLORY OF OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN! || How are they numbered? R: Three thirty-threes, and one ninety-nine! || (Now focusing elsewhere:) What is the reason for these signs of blood and death? R: They are the four heads of the beast. They are always stationed in the four corners of the lodge. || Why in the four corners? R: Because of darkness upon them. They profess peace, but practice war. || How are they numbered? R: One, eleven, sixty-six, and six hundred and sixty-six, the number of the beast. || In Your name we are assembled, O Jehovih! Give us strength, wisdom and love, so that we may avoid the fatal numbers; and that we may glorify You and Your dominions. R: Amen! ||
There is no such thing as separating science and religion. To obtain knowledge and to do good; these are valuable.
Without discipline, knowledge cannot be obtained; without discipline, little good can be accomplished. Forms and ceremonies must accompany discipline; otherwise disharmony overcomes all. These are religion.
To be not puffed up with self-conceit; and to be willing to become good; these are the foundations for a good prophet.
But in all gifts, the rules of prophecy should apply. If a man is gifted in music, he should study music, and not rely wholly on inspiration (the vortexian tide). If gifted in healing he should study, and learn to apply the researches of others, and not rely wholly on the vortexian currents (for inspiration and application, as in, e.g., laying-on of hands). If gifted in prophecy, he should also learn the rules of vortices and planets. The combination of gifts with good learning, this is the highest.
He, who heals by laying-on of hands, only gives off the vortexya he has previously received. Let him see to it that he replenishes himself by sunlight (so-called), and trees and herbs, and ground to walk upon. For giving away, without replenishing, will soon result in nothing.
As a young child sleeping with a very old person, loses vortexya, becoming emaciated; or as a negative husband is devoured by a positive wife, or a negative wife devoured by a positive husband, so is the prophet consumed by the multitude.
When a prophet has attained to discharge vortexya, so as to make raps at will, he is also subject to the presence of people from the unseen worlds. And these people, being spirits or angels, use this vortexya for a foundation for sar’gis.
The ancient prophet caused the worshippers to sit in the dark, because all people give off the negative current in the dark (which they received as positive in the light), and had them sit in crescent, while he sat between the horns. For this reason the decrees of the prophet were called Tau [bulls –Ed.]. In this form of the altar, the prophet was supplied somewhat with vortexya by the audience.
It comes to this: Vortexya is unseen power, but it is without sense or judgment. Behind this, stands the life of every living thing; and next, behind all, stands the Creator, Jehovih. All learning, science, and religion, are just far-off steppingstones to lead man up to Him. To acknowledge this, and to call on Him constantly, is to keep the road open to receive His hand and hear His voice.
