Chapter 38
God said: I said to you, O man, pursue your wisdom after the manner of your God.
I go to the beginning; I labor not so much to convert adults, as to prepare the minds of the young.
Now, behold, because I told you this, you sought to have children born to you after the manner of Gods.
You said: I understand the new kingdom; I have the solution for raising up a new generation on the earth. I have chosen me my women, who also comprehend, and, behold, our offspring will be very Gods!
But I admonished you, saying: You open the door for adultery; you shall surely go down.
You would not profit by the wisdom of ages. I had held up my hand, and said: One wife, one husband!
Now hear me, O man: In a new cycle, man always runs to the extreme opposite of the old errors, and so brings upon himself new ones, that he did not know of.
I say to you: The new edifice shall be of all that was good of the past, of things proven in heaven and on earth.
Also, I say to you, it shall be of the young, and not of the adult.
Because you have attempted to beget offspring for the new kingdom, you, of all men, are the most unfit.
My laborers shall not have desire to be either fathers or mothers. Nor shall they seek in any way things that belong on the earth, nor have passions that belong only to the earth.
Nevertheless, they shall be the founders of the Father’s kingdom on earth, and with the young.
They shall gather up hundreds and thousands of infant orphans and castaways and take them into colonies.
And these infants shall be fed, clothed and raised up, not after any man’s whim or conceit, but according to the accumulated wisdom collected from all the different nations and peoples in the world, as to how to make the best corporeal and spiritual men and women.
Behold, it has been proven in the warrior and pugilist how to raise a savage man, by flesh diet and inharmonious surroundings; and in nations and tribes of peace, how to raise a virtuous and industrious man, on herbs and fruit diet.
These are things for you to learn, O man, going at the subject systematically, to find the best way to make the best men and women out of the infants entrusted to you.
Not only as to diet, but as to clothing, and as to comfort and cleanliness; and to avoid disease; and as to strength, suppleness and swiftness; and as to virtue and modesty; and as to education, practical and theoretical; and as to industry and quick perception; and as to willingness to work for one another; and to trades and occupations; and as to pastimes, amusements and recreations including singing, dancing and playing with great joy and delight; and as to worship, and to rites and ceremonies; and as to acquiring seership, prophecy, signs, and miracles, in su’is and sar’gis; and as to communing with angels, and to the value of angels as teachers and instructors by tangible presence and audible voices.
And yet, above all things, you shall preserve liberty to all, with pleasant and enjoyable discipline for everything, in the manner of my heavenly kingdoms.
Remembering, that every faculty in every one shall be cultivated to the utmost.
Teaching them, from the beginning, that the eye of Jehovih is upon them, and that His hand is stretched over them, to bless them according to their goodness, purity, love, gentleness and wisdom.
And that they shall not own or possess individually; but that all things are Jehovih’s, and they, themselves, are angels in mortal form, created by Jehovih to rejoice and to help one another forever.
