Chapter 8
When all the billions of angels were assembled for the resurrection, Cpenta-armij went and stood at the right hand of Ahura, and next to her stood Owks; and at the left hand of Ahura stood See-wah-Gon and Ha-o-ha, and the Voice of Jehovih fell upon Ahura, saying: Extend My lines to the four corners of the world; give the highest grades into My labor.
Accordingly the marshals drew the line on the plateau, and the hosts of etherea stood equally toward every corner, arranged in phalanxes of ten million each, each having the form of a quarter of a circle; leaving spaces where the lines of power ran from center to circumference, and the distance was equal to the width of Vind’yu on the corporeal earth. And the center of the plateau was high raised, so that Ahura stood on the highest place, which lay near the CAPITAL OF THE COUNCIL.
Now it so happened that the jealous Anuhasaj stood twelfth on the east line, being the thirteenth from Ahura’s left hand. Cpenta-armij said to Ahura: Behold, the line is shattered. Ahura said: I feel nothing; what do you mean, the line is shattered? She answered him, saying: He who does Jehovih’s work must deal as Jehovih deals. Only those who are in concert with you must labor with you. Otherwise your best endeavors will be thwarted. Ahura said:
O far-perceiving Goddess! In my much love and sympathy I admitted Anuhasaj to the lines. He has been my best friend. Cpenta-armij said: You shall know only One Friend, Jehovih.
Ahura perceived, and he now felt the shattered place, and he sent his chief marshal to Anuhasaj to bring him from the rank. And when Anuhasaj was before Ahura, the latter said to him: Because you serve yourself, you shall not stand in line; behold, there is only ONE to serve, even Jehovih. Anuhasaj said: A joy upon you and your scheme. Because you are powerless, you have singled me out as an excuse before these Gods and Goddesses!
Ahura made no answer, but spoke before Jehovih, saying: Give me strength for Your Children’s sake, O Father! Behold, I have cut loose the foundations of Ailkin; with high-extending cords I have bound her to Vara-pishanaha. By virtue of Your power in me I will raise her up. In Your name, let my hosts in will command: ARISE! UPWARD! ONWARD! O AILKIN! ARISE, UPWARD, ONWARD, O AILKIN! ARISE, UPWARD, ONWARD O AILKIN!
With the third enunciation, which came from the billions in concert, behold, the plateau moved from her foundation; turned a little, then slowly rose upward. Loud shouts and cheers erupted from the inhabitants of that heaven; for, along with their own universal will, the Great Spirit had stretched forth His hand and raised up the heavenly continent. Even as with His hand He touches a corporeal continent and sends it beneath the ocean, so also does He raise His heavenly places toward His emancipated worlds. Yes, because of His Spirit upon His people, they desire it risen; with them and Him, ALL IS ONE.
And now the Gods, with unbroken will, held their places through what was daylight for the corporeal earth, and not a God or Goddess strayed a moment of time from the single purpose in thought, nor did any distracting thought intervene; for such is the will and mastery of Gods over their own thoughts. Nevertheless, to keep up the concerted force joyously, those who had the drujas in charge set the games and tournaments going, with racing and music, so that there was not one idle moment for all the hosts of Ailkin, nearly five billion.
Upward and onward rose the great plateau, making straight course for Vara-pishanaha. Ahura stood in the eyes of the unlearned populace as the greatest and most masterly of all the Gods. One alone, even Anuhasaj, stood awhile transfixed with disappointment and chagrin, even hoping some mishap to Jehovih’s proceedings. And, finally, he went wandering about, sore and out of sorts with all righteousness.
Thus was raised the heavenly place, and no longer called Ailkin, but Vara-pishanaha, home of Ahura and his hosts. And now, when they were securely established in the new place, and the Gods and Goddesses broke from their line, they all came greeting Ahura. And, even in that same moment of time, a messenger came from God, who was with Brahma on the corporeal earth, bringing to Cpenta-armij the following commandment, by proxy, namely:
In Jehovih’s name, give a throne and crown to Ahura for me, and in my name. I promised him thus!
The light came upon Cpenta-armij, and Jehovih spoke through her, saying: Behold the work of My hand, O Ahura, My Son! From the substance of heaven I fashion you a throne and high-raised capital. And with My own hands weave you a crown. From this time forth you shall be My God, and I will abide with you.
While the words were being spoken, the throne rose up before Cpenta-armij’s hand, and a high-raised capital came and stood over the throne extending beyond it. And there descended from the heavens above bows of light and color, which in Cpenta-armij’s fingers were shaped and woven into a crown, which alighted on Ahura’s head. And there went up from the hosts a universal shout of praise and thanksgiving. Then seven million trumpeters broke in, and after they played a while, the es’enaurs chanted: THE CONCERTED HOSTS OF JEHOVIH!
Thus was founded Jehovih’s heavenly kingdom, Vara-pishanaha, in which Ahura established his dominions where rebellion and secession were cut off forever. And Cpenta-armij gave to Ahura a thousand messengers, and opened a roadway to Craoshivi. Ahura ascended his throne, and the Gods and Goddesses saluted him, GOD OF VARA-PISHANAHA, and they and their attendants departed to their various places.
