Chapter 1
Jehovih spoke to Cpenta-armij, Goddess of Haot-saiti, in Nirvania, in the arc of Spe-ta, Commander of the South fields of Abarom, in the Orian Plains of Bilothowitchieun, of a reign of two hundred thousand years; Surveyor for Otaias, ten thousand years; Leader of the Oixan, seventy thousand years; Captain of Geliyas’ roadways, in the forest of Lugga, twenty thousand years; Founder and Ruler of Isaas, thirty thousand years; Trencher of the Haigusets swamps, four thousand years; Goddess of Nor, Goddess of Eunigi, Goddess of Poutu, each ten thousand years, saying:
My Daughter, behold, the red star and her heavens come your way. She will cross the arc of Spe-ta, four years and thirty-two days’ riding. Open your fields in Abarom, and give her forty years’ indulgence, for this is the first of her deliverance.
Cpenta-armij answered, saying: I see the red star, the earth, O Jehovih! Like a wandering ship in a wide ocean, she comes through my fields, the young earth, traveling on, carefully, in the roads of Salkwatka. Has she so soon, in just little more than sixty thousand years, overcome her enduring knots and torturing hells?
In Your Wisdom and Power, O Jehovih! I will go in person to this corporeal world, and encourage her God and Lords for the excellent labor done.
Jehovih said: Call your Council, and proclaim from My throne the FEAST OF THE ARC OF SPE-TA. Then Cpenta-armij called her High Council of a hundred million, Sons and Daughters of Jehovih, and she ascended to her place in the center of the throne of the Great Spirit.
And present with her were: Obed, God of Oise, in Embrahk; Gavaini, Goddess of Ipthor, of the Solastis Plains; Ab, First Shriever of Riv-Sing; Holon-ho, God of Loo-Gam; Raisi, Goddess of Esdras; Wish-tse, God of Zuth, in Ronega; and all these Gods and Goddesses were more than a hundred thousand years raised in etherean realms, and knew the earth before she was inhabited by man.
On a visit to Cpenta-armij were: Owks, Orian Chief of Maiter-lan, fifty thousand years, Marshal of Wiski-loo, thirty thousand years, God of Tunsin, in the Tarps Roads, ninety thousand years; and See-wah-Gon, Chieftainess of the Orian arc of Su-los, two hundred thousand years, Mistress of Aftong, in the Plains of Bel, three hundred thousand years, Pilotess of Lu-wow-lu, one hundred thousand years, Goddess of Eune, in the Mountains of Gem-king; and Ha-o-ha, Founder of Ogee, of Siam, of Wick-a-wick, and the twelve Nirvanian Old-tse, in Lo-owtz, Eli-hagam; together with their traveling hosts, five million each.
Cpenta-armij said: For Your glory, O Jehovih, I proclaim the FEAST OF THE ARC OF SPE-TA. And these, my visiting hosts, shall enjoy the four years’ deliverance of the red star and her heavens!
Then Owks responded, and then See-wah-Gon, then Ha-o-ha, speaking at great length, and rejoicing for the invitation. And they related many adventures on other stars in the time of the arc of deliverance, the arc of Spe-ta, and with what Gods and Goddesses they journeyed and what Chiefs and Chieftainesses.
So Cpenta-armij spoke to her chief marshal, saying: Send heralds to the builders, and order me an airavagna capable of five hundred million, and of speed, grade sixty. After this you shall select one hundred million from my attendants, and after that three hundred million of the Egisi.
With these, and my visitors, I will start for the red star in twenty days. The proper officers attended to these things, and while they were going about their business, behold, the red star, the earth, rose up in the roadway far away, and the es’enaurs saw it, and they chanted:
What is over there? The red star, Jehovih! Your breath has spoken. Your voice, the silent motion. O Your endless power, Jehovih!
Around her, close about; what is that filled with angels, billions! Wondrous are Your works, O Jehovih, and measureless! She rides around the sun, in her orbit of two hundred and seventy million miles.
It is her atmosphere, traveling with her; its boundary, Chinvat. How fearfully You have created, O Jehovih! And the magnitude of Your places! That little red star is a world, O Father! And the billions of angels, why do they stay in such heavens, O Jehovih!
Then from far away, the trumpeters answered: She that spins around the sun, the red star, the earth, a new world, a generator of the souls of men. The Gods have called her, but she will not hear. Her atmosphere is full of angels struggling for the earth. But Your hand is upon them, O Jehovih. Your trumpeters will line the roads of Salkwatka.
Then sang the es’enaurs: How lovely Your works are, O Jehovih! Too lovely Your Places are, O Jehovih! Too lovely is the red star, the earth, O Jehovih! Your children love it while in mortal form; and after death they love it too much, O Jehovih!
The pipers answer for Jehovih from the Wide East: I made the earth, the red star, with oh so little to love. I gave her poisoned weeds, vines and grasses, and millions of death-dealing serpents. Then I created poisoned marshes and terrible fevers. Yes, I created man on the earth, with sore travail and full of misery, so that he would turn and look upward for a holier place.
Then sang the es’enaurs: You created Your atmospherean heavens too lovely, O Jehovih! —Your bound heavens that travel with the red star, the earth. The spirits raised up from the mortal earth find too much to love in Your lower heavens, O Jehovih!
The pipers again answered for Jehovih: I created My lower heavens full of darkness and evil possibilities. As a place for madness, I created it; a place for lying and deceit; full of hell and torments. To drive man upward; to blow My breath upon him, to lift him up, as one lights the fire by blowing.
Cpenta-armij spoke from Jehovih’s throne, saying: What is the deliverance of man? Is it from his mother’s womb? Is it from his corporeal body? Is it from the corporeal world and her atmosphere? The Father has given three births to all men. In the first, man has nothing to do with his shaping or time in his mother’s womb. In the second, he has a little more to do in directing his course during his mortal life; but for the third, for the higher heavens, he must work for his own deliverance.
Cpenta-armij said: The Creator created three kinds of earth deliverance for man: first, from his mother’s womb, coming crying, blank and helpless; second, from the tetracts (earthly passions and desires), serious and full of fear; third, from the enemies of the Great Spirit. This last is the Feast of Spe-ta.
