Chapter 23
God said: I have not come in this era to judge the drunkard, harlot, thieves and murderers; these are known to you, O man.
I have not come to repeat former judgments against those whom all men understand to be sinful; for, behold, I gave governments into the hands of men, to deal with such themselves.
But I come to the leaders of men; to kings, queens, emperors and presidents; and to philosophers, men of learning, priests, rab’bahs, cardinals and popes; and to merchants, bankers, manufacturers, farmers, shippers and hucksters.
Those who pass unscathed before the laws and governments of man, and are reckoned passably wise and good before the world.
And not even to such of these who are bad men in disguise, who escape condemnation before the courts, by cunning and stratagem.
But I come to the best of all of them, whether they are true Brahmins, true Ka’yuans, true Buddhists, true Kriste’yans, or true Mohammedans.
Therefore, O man, hear the judgment of your God against them: They are not united and affiliated as brothers.
But the best of all of them are as so many individual entities pulling in different ways, every one for himself.
The Brahmins are not communal; the Ka’yuans are not communal; neither are the Buddhists, Kriste’yans, nor the Mohammedans; neither are the philosophers, priests, merchants, nor any one people in the entire world.
There is no fullness of heaven among any of them. They are divided into thousands of ideas and projects.
Now hear me, O man, and consider the wisdom of your God: Satan is wiser than any of these I have named.
For satan has made armies of soldiers communal. He has discovered the power of affiliation and discipline.
Behold, a thousand soldiers are more efficient than ten thousand unorganized men.
Judgment is rendered against the best of men in the world, because they are inorganic for righteousness, and for establishing the Father’s kingdom.
This, then, is what befalls the nations and peoples of the earth: The angels of heaven minister to all mortals in the same way (except where your God and his Lords provide especially otherwise), the inorganic heavenly regions minister to the inorganic inhabitants of the earth.
Now behold, I said to you in the former times, try the spirits, and see if they are of God.
For, the angels who wander about on the earth do not know my kingdoms, and they deny me, and deny all order, system and discipline in heaven and earth.
And each and all such angels, coming to mortals, do so on their own account, assuming any form and name they may find acceptable to men.
Such angels have not yet passed the first resurrection; nor do they belong to any disciplined kingdom in heaven.
And all mortals like the ones I have named, deemed by the world’s people to be the best and highest of mortals, enter the es world (after death), only into the inorganic regions of heaven.
Neither can they enter the lowest of my kingdoms until they abnegate self and learn affiliation.
Therefore, after death, they remain, for the most part, in their former places: The merchant in his counting-house, the banker in his bank, the shipper in his place, the philosopher in his place, the pope in his, the king in his, the farmer in his.
Neither do they have power or wisdom to go to any other place; and they stroll about, like one that has lost his master. Nor will they affiliate with other angels; but, in stubbornness and moroseness, persist in working out an individual identity, until they are broken down in sorrow and darkness, which may be in a few years, or it may be hundreds of years.
And then my holy ones come to them, and carry them away to my es’yan schools.
