Chapter 18
Thus drew to a close the cycle of Fragapatti, being three thousand one hundred years. And at this time there were few people on earth or in heaven who were not capable of everlasting life, including the druks and drujas.
Jehovih spoke to God, saying: Now you shall enumerate earth and heaven, as to all that I have created capable of everlasting life; and of My harvests since the habitation of the earth, when man first walked upright. And your numbers shall be entered in the libraries of heaven, to remain forever.
So God called together a council of mathematicians, and they counted mortals and angels, and recorded this labor in the libraries of heaven, where the wise men of heaven and earth may read the records.
In Fragapatti’s cycle ninety-two billion were born alive. Of these ninety percent were born to everlasting life. Ten percent went into dissolution, as a drop of water evaporates before the sun and is seen no more.
In Osiris’ cycle, ninety-one billion were born. Of these eighty-seven percent were born to everlasting life. Thirteen percent went into dissolution and were seen no more.
In Thor’s cycle, eighty-eight billion were born. Of these eighty-five percent were born to everlasting life, and fifteen percent to dissolution.
In Apollo’s cycle, eighty billion were born. Of these seventy-two percent were born to everlasting life, and twenty-eight percent to dissolution.
In Sue’s cycle, eighty-seven billion were born. Of these sixty-two percent were born to everlasting life, and thirty-eight percent went into dissolution.
In Aph’s cycle, sixty-six billion were born. Of these fifty-four percent were born to everlasting life, and forty-six percent went into dissolution.
In Neph’s cycle, before the submersion of Pan, one hundred and twenty-four billion were born. Of these twenty-one percent were born to everlasting life, and seventy-nine percent went into dissolution.
And these comprised one-sixth of the people that had been created alive on the earth since man walked upright; that is to say, three trillion seven hundred and sixty-eight billion.
But in the early days of man, only a small percentage were born to everlasting life; and, first of all, only one percent.
And God gave thanks to Jehovih, the Creator, because all the races of men on earth were now capable of everlasting life.
Of the hells and knots springing out of hada since the days of Wan, this was the proportion:
In the cycle of Fragapatti, two hundred and seventy-six hells, of average duration, thirty years. Involved in these hells, two billion angels. Sixty-four knots, of average duration, two years. Involved in these knots, one billion angels.
In the cycle of Osiris, three hundred and eighty-nine hells, of average duration, four hundred years. Involved in these hells, seven billion. Two hundred and twelve knots, of average duration, three years. Involved in these knots, three billion.
In the cycle of Thor, five hundred and ninety-one hells, of average duration, six hundred years. Involved in these hells, nine billion angels. Four hundred and thirty-six knots, of average duration, six years. Involved in these knots, four billion angels.
In Apollo’s cycle, seven hundred and forty-two hells, of average duration, eight hundred years. Involved in these hells, ten billion angels. Six hundred and four knots, of average duration, twelve years. Involved in these knots, five billion.
In Sue’s cycle, twelve hundred and seventy-three hells, of average duration, one thousand years. Involved in these hells, thirteen billion angels. One thousand and five knots, of average duration, thirty years. Involved in these knots, eight billion.
In Aph’s cycle, three thousand five hundred hells, of average duration, two thousand years. Involved in these hells, twenty-eight billion angels. Two thousand knots, of average duration, fifty years. Involved in these knots, twenty-five billion. And these were the numbers of spirits cast into hell and into knots, from the submersion of Pan to the end of the cycle of Zarathustra (Fragapatti); but at the dawn of each and every cycle, both the hells and the knots were delivered by the etherean Gods. Except in Fragapatti’s cycle, when they were almost entirely delivered by the atmospherean God.
Prior to the submersion of Pan, commonly called the flood, more than half the people entering the first es world went into hell and knots. And in all ages of the world there have been thousands and millions of spirits who delight in hell for certain seasons, even as the same tendency is manifested in mortals who delight in debauchery, vengeance and war. Nor is a hell very different, as to spirit, from what war is among mortals. And as mortals of this day glorify themselves, their generals and their captains, for the magnitude of their havoc in war, so in ancient times in atmospherea, there were great boastings and laudations for those who inflicted the greatest torments and horrors in hell.
As mortals of the druk order often leave their evil ways for a season, and become upright and virtuous, loving decency and righteousness, and then break away and indulge in a season of debauchery, so has it been in the es world with millions and billions of angels. In one day the teachers and physicians were rejoicing before Jehovih because of the steadfastness of their wards to righteousness; and in the next day were left to deplore the loss of hundreds and thousands who had broken faith and gone off for indulgence’s sake into some of the hells. And these had to be rescued, persuaded, threatened and coaxed back again and again to the nurseries and hospitals, or to the factories and colleges.
Nor does anyone know, except Jehovih, the labor, fretting, and anxiety that were undergone by the teachers and physicians, and Lords and Gods, who had such drujas in charge. For even as it is seen on earth that men of great learning and high estate often fall, becoming lower than the beasts of the fields, so were there in heaven, hundreds of thousands, even millions, often high raised in the grades, who would stumble and fall into the lowest of hells, and even into the knots.
So Jehovih brought the earth and her heavens into another dawn of dan, in the arc of Spe-ta, in the Nirvanian roads of Salkwatka, in etherea.
Now, through the entire cycle till dawn of dan’ha, God and his Lords maintained the Diva; and mortals understood the matter somewhat, that there were certain Divine laws in heaven that ruled over mortal kingdoms and empires. So that, the words Div, Diva, and Divine rights, began to be realized as a concerted power in heaven greater than man’s power.
