the first, said to him:"I will persevere to the seventh day." And the second, likewise, saidto him: "I also will persevere to the seven times seventh day." Jesusanswered th em: "Happy are those that persevere to the end, for they shallinherit the earth." And there were many sick among themtormented with grievous pains, and they hardly crawled to Jesus' feet. For theycould no longer walk upon their feet. They said: "Master, we aregrievously tormented with pain; tell us what we shall do." And they showedJesus their feet in which the bones were twisted and knotted and said:"Neither the angel of air, nor of water, nor of sunshine has assuaged ourpains, notwithstanding that we ba ptized ourselves, and do fast and pray, and follow your words in allthings."
"I tell you truly, your bones will behealed. Be not discouraged, but seek for cure nigh the healer of bones,the angel of earth. For thence were yourbones taken, and thither will they return." And he pointed with his hand to where therunning of the water and the sun's heat had softened to clayey mud the earth bythe edge of the water. "Sink your feet in the mire, that the embrace ofthe angel of earth may draw out from your bones all uncleanness and alldisease. And you will see Satan and your pains fly from the embrace of theangel of earth. And the knots of your bones w ill vanish away, and they will bestraightened, and all your pains will disappear." And the sick followed his words, for theyknew that they would be healed.
And there were also other sick who sufferedmuch from their pains, howbeit, they persisted in their fasting. And theirforce was spent, and great heat tormented them. And when they would have risenfrom their bed to go to Jesus, their heads began to turn, as if it were a gustywind which shook the m , and as oft as they tried to stand upon their feet theyfell back to the ground. Then Jesus went to them and said: "Yousuffer, for Satan and his diseases torment your bodies. But fear not, for theirpower over you will quickly end. For Satan is like a choleric neighbor whoentered his neighbor's house while he was absent, intending to take his goodsaway to his own house. But some told the other that his enemy was ravagingwithin his house, and he came back to his house, running. And when the wickedneighbor, having gathered together all that pleased him, saw from afar themaster of the house returning in haste, then he was very wroth t hathe could not take all away, and set to breaking and spoiling all that was ther1e2,2 to destroy all. So that evenif the things might not be his, the other might have nothing. But immediatelythe lord of the house came in, and before the wicked neighbor fulfilled hispurpose, he took him and cast him out of the house. I tell you truly, even sodid Satan enter your bodies which are the habitation of God. And he took in hispower all that he wished to steal: your breath, your blood, your bone, yourflesh, your bowels, your eyes, and your ears. But by your fasting and yourprayer, you have called back the lord of your body and his angels. And nowSatan sees that the true lord of your body returns, and that it is the end ofhis power. Wherefore, in his wrath he gathers his strength once again, that hemay destroy your bodies before the coming of the lord. It is for this thatSatan torments you so grievously, for he feels that the end is come. But letnot your hearts tremble, for soon will the angels of God appear, to occupyagain their abodes and rededicate them as temples of God. And they will seizeSatan and cast himn from your bodies with all his diseases and all hisuncleannesses. And happy will you be, for you will receive the reward of your steadfastness, and you will never seedisease."
And there was among the sick, one that wasmore tormented by Satan than all the others. And his body was as parched as askeleton, and his skin yellow as a falling leaf. He was so weak already that hecould not, even upon his hands, crawl to Jesus, and cried only to him fromafar: "Master, have pity on me, for never has man suffered, not from thebeginning of the world, as I do suffer. I know that you are indeed sent by God,and I know that if you will, you can straightway cast out Satan from my body.Do not the angels of God obey God's messenger? Come, Master, and cast out Satan from me now, for he rages angrily within me and grievous is historment."
And Jesus answered him: "Satantorments you thus greatly because you have already fasted many days, and you donot pay to him his tribute. You do not feed him with all the abominations withwhich you hitherto defiled the temple of your spirit. You torment Satan withhunger, and so in his anger he torments you also. Fear not, for I tell you,Satan will be destroyed before your body is destroyed; for while you fast andpray, the angels of God protect your body, that Satan's power may not destroy you. And the anger of Satan isimpotent against the angels of God."
Then they all came to Jesus and with loudcries besought him saying: "Master, have compassion on him, for he suffersmore than we all, and if you do not atonce cast Satan out of him, we fear he will not live until tomorrow." And Jesus answered them: "Great isyour faith. Be it according to your faith, and you shall see soon, face toface, the frightful countenance of Satan, and the power of the Son of Man. ForI will cast out from you the powerful Satan by the strength of the innocentlamb of God, the weakest creature of the Lord . For the holy spirit of Godmakes more powerful the weakest than the strongest."
And Jesus milked an ewewhich was feeding among the grass. And he put the milk upon the sand made hotby the sun, saying: "Lo, the power of the angel of water ha s entered thismilk. And now the power of the angel of sunshine will enter it also." And the milk became hot by the strength ofthe sun. "And now theangels of water and of sun will join with the angel of air."And lo, the vapor of the hot milk began to riseslowly into the air. ."Come and breathe in by yourmouth the strength of the angels of water, of sunsh in e, and of air, that itmay come into your body and cast out the Satan from you." And the sick man wh om Satan tormented didbreathe within himself, deeply, the rising whitish vapor.
"Straightway will Satan leave yourbody, since for three days he starves and finds no food within you. He willcome out of you to satisfy his hunger by the hot steaming milk, for this foodfinds favor in his sight. He will smell its smell, and will not be able toresist the hunger which has tormented him three days already. But the Son of Man will destroy his body,that he may torment none else again." Then the sick man's body was seizedwith an ague, and he retched as though he would vomit, but he could not.And he gasped for air, for his breathwas spent. And he fainted on the lap of Jesus. "Now does Sat an leave his body. Seehim." And Jesus pointed to the sick man's opened mouth.
And then they all saw with astonishment andterror that Satan was coming out from his mouth in the shape of an abominableworm, straight towards the steaming milk. Then Jesus took two sharp stones inhis hands and crushed the head of Satan, and drew out from the sick man all thebody of the monster which was almost as long as the man. When the abominableworm came out of the sick man's throat, he recovered at once his breath, andthen all his p ains ceased. And the others looked with terror at the abominablebody of Satan.
"See, what an abominable beast youcarried and nourished in your body for long years. I have cast it out of youand killed it that it may never again torment you. Give thanks to God that hisangels have made you free, and sin no more, lest Satan return to you again. Let your body be henceforth a temple dedicated toyour God." And they were all amazed at his words andat his power. A nd they said: "Master, you are indeed God'smessenger, and do know all secrets."
"And you," answered Jesus,"be true Sons of God, that you also may partake in his power and in theknowledge of all secrets. For wisdom and power can come only from the love ofGod. Love, therefore, your Heavenly Father and your Earthly Mother with allyour heart, and with all your spirit. And serve them, that their angels mayserve you also. Let all your deeds be sacrificed to God. And feed not Satan,for the wages of sin is death. But with God lie s the reward of the good, his love, which is knowledge and power ofeternal life." And they all knelt down to give thanks to God for his love.
And Jesus departed, saying: "I willcome again t o all who persist in prayer and fasting tAl the seventh day. Peacebe with you." And the sick man from whom Jesus had castout the Satan, stood up, for the strength of life had come back to him. Hebreathed out deeply, and his eyes became clear, for every pain had left him.And he cast himself down upon the ground whereJesus had stood, and he kissed the print of his feet and he wept.
And it was by the bed of a stream, manysick fasted and prayed with God's angels for seven days and seven nights. Andgreat was their reward, because they followed Jesus' words. And with thepassing of the seventh day, all their pains left them. And when the sun roseover the earth's rim they saw Jesus coming towa rds them from the mountain,with the brightness of the rising sun about his head. "Peace be with you." And they said no word at all, but only castthemselves do wn before him, andtouched the hem of his garment in token of their healing. "Give thanks not to me, but to yourEarthly Mother, who sent you her healing angels. Go, and sin no more, that you ma ynever again see disease. And let the healing angels become yourguardians." But they answered him: "Whither shouldwe go, Master, for with you are the words of eternal life? Te ll us, what arethe sins which we must shun, that we may nevermore see disease?"
Jesus an swered: "Be it so accordingto your faith," and he sat down among them, saying: "It was said to them of old time,'Honor thy Heavenly Father and thy Earthly Mother, and do their commandments, that thydays may be long upon the earth.' And next afterward was given thiscommandment, 'Thou shalt not kill,' for life is given to all by God, and thatwhich God has given, let not man take away. For-I tell you truly, from oneMother proceeds all that lives upon the earth. Therefore, he who kills, killshis brother. And from him will the Earthly Mother turn away, and will pluckfrom him her quickening breasts. And he will be shunned by her angels, andSatan will have his dwelling in his body. And the flesh of slain beasts in hisbody will become his own tomb. For I tell you truly, he who kills, killshimself, and whoso eats the flesh of slain beasts, eats of the body of death.For in his blood every drop of their blood turns to poison; in his breath theirbreath to stink; in his flesh their flesh to boils; in his bones their bones tochalk; in his bowels their bowels t o decay; in his eyes their eyes to scales;in his ears their ears to waxy issue. And their death will become his death.For only in the service of your Heavenly Father are your debts of seven yearsforgiven in seven clays. But Satan forgives you nothing and you must pay himfor all. 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot; burningfor burning, wound for wound; life for life, death for death.' For the wages ofsin is death. Kill not, neither eat the flesh of your innocent prey, lest youbecome the slaves of Satan. For that is the path of sufferings, and it leadsunto death. But do the will of God, that his angels may serve you on the way oflife. Obey, therefore, the words of God: 'Behold, I have given you every herbbearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in thewhich is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And toevery beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything thatcreepeth upon th e earth, wherein there is breath of life, I give every greenherb for meat. Also the milk of every thing that moveth and liveth upon earthshall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given unto them, so I givetheir milk unto you. But flesh, and the blood which quickens it, shall ye noteat. And, surely, your spurting blood will I require, your blood wherein isyour soul; I will require all slain beasts, and the souls of all slain men. ForI the Lord thy God am a God strong and jealous, visiting the iniquity of thefathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them thathate me; and showing mercy unto thousands -of them that love me, and keep mycommandments. Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,and with all thy strength: this is the first and greatest commandment.' And thesecond is like unto it: 'Lov e thy neighbor as thyself' There is none othercommandment greater than these." And after these words they all remainedsilent, save one, who called out: "What am I to do, Master, if I see awild beast rend my brother in the forest? Shall I let my brother perish, or kill the wild beast?Shall not I thus transgress the law?" And Jesus answered: "It wassaid to them of old time: "All beasts that move upon the earth, all thefish of the sea, and all the fowl of the air are given into thy power." Itell you truly, of all creatures living upon the earth, God created only manafter his image. Wherefore beasts are for man, and not man for beasts. You donot, therefore, transgress the law if you kill the wild beast to save yourbrother's life. For I tell you truly, man is more than the beast. But he whokills the beast without a cause, though the beast attack him not, through lustfor slaughter, or for its flesh, or for its hide, or yet for its tusks, evil isthe deed which he does, for he is turned into a wild beast himself. Wherefore is his end also as the end of thewild beasts."
Then another said: "Moses, thegreatest in Israel, suffered our forefathers to eat the flesh of clean beasts,and forbade only the flesh of unclean beasts. Why, therefore, do you forbid usthe flesh of all beasts? Which law comesfrom God? That of Moses, or your law?"
And Jesus answered: "God gave, byMoses, ten commandments to your forefathers. 'These commandments are hard,'said your forefathers, and they could not keep them. When Moses saw this, hehad compassion on his people, and would not that they perish. And then he gavethem ten times ten commandments. For he whose feet are strong as the mountainof Zion, needs no crutches; but he whose limbs do shake, gets further havingcrutches, than without them. And Moses said to the Lord: 'My heart is filledwith sorrow, for my people will be lost. For they are without knowledge, andare not able to understand thy commandments. They are as little children whocannot yet understand their father's words. Suffer, Lord, that I give themother laws, that they may not perish. if they may not be with thee, Lord, letthem not be against thee; that they may sustain themselves, and when the timehas come, and they are ripe for thy words, reveal to hem thy laws.' For thatdid Moses break the two tablets of s tone whereon were written the tencommandments, and he gave them ten times ten in their stead. And of these tentimes ten the Scribes and Pharisees have made a hundred times ten commandments.And they have laid unbearable burdens on your shoulders, that they themselvesdo not carry. For the more nigh are the commandments to God, the less do weneed; and the farther they are from God, then the more do we need. Whereforeare the laws of the Pharisees and Scribes innumera ble; the laws of the Son ofMan seven; of the angels three; and of God one.
"Therefore, I teach you only thoselaws which you can understand, that you may become men, and follow the sevenlaws of the Son of Man. Then will the unknown angels of the Heavenly Fatheralso reveal their law s toyou, that God's holy spirit may descend upon you, and lead you to hislaw."
And all were astonished at his wisdom,and asked him: "Continue, Master,and teach us all the laws which we can receive." And Jesus continued: "God commandedyour forefathers: 'Thou shalt not kill.' But their heart was hardened and theykilled. Then Moses desired that at least they should not kill men, and hesuffered them to kill beasts. And then the heart of your forefathers washardened yet more, and they killed men and beasts likewise. But I do say toyou: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth.For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill yourfood, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and fromdeath comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills yourbodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. Andyour bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, becomewhat your thoughts are. Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, orwater has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn, freeze androt your body also. Be not like the foolish husbandman who sowed in his groundcooked, and frozen, and rotten seeds. And the autumn came, and his fields borenothing. And great was his distress. But be like that husbandman who sowed inhis field living seed, and whose field bore living ears of wheat, paying ahundredfold for the seeds which he planted. For I tell you truly, live only bythe fire of life, and prepare not your foods w ith the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and yoursouls also."
"Master, where is the fire oflife?" asked some of them. "In you, inyour blood, and in your bodies." "And the fire of death?" asked others.
"It is the fire which blazes outsideyour body, which is hotter than your blood. With that fire of death you cookyour foods in your homes and in your fields. I tell you truly, it is the samefire which destroys your foods and your bodies, even as the fire of malice,which ravages your thoughts, ravages your spirits. For your body is that whichyou eat, and your spirit is that which you think. Eat nothing, therefore, whicha stronger fire than the fire of life has killed. Wherefore, prepare and eatall fruits of trees, and all grasses of the fields, and afl milk of beasts goodfor eating. For all these are fed and ripened by the fire of life; all are thegift of the angels of our Earthly Mothe r. But eat nothing to which only the fire of death gives savor, forsuch is of Satan." "How should we co ok our daily breadwithout fire, Master?" asked some with great astonishment.
"Let the angels of God prepare yourbread. Moisten your wheat, that the angel of water may enter it. Then set it inthe air, that the angel of air also may embrace it. And leave it from morningto evening beneath the sun, that the angel of sunshine may descend upon it. Andthe blessing of the three angels will soon make the germ of life to sprout inyour wheat. Then crush your grain, and make thin wafers, as did yourforefathers when they departed out of Egypt, the house of bondage. Put themback again beneath the sun from its appearing, and when it is risen to itshighest in the heavens, turn them over on the other side that they be embracedthere also by the angel of sunshine, and leave them there until the sun be set.For the angels of water, of air, and of sunshine fed and ripened the wheat inthe field, and they, likewise, must prepare also your bread. And the same sunwhich, with the fire of life, made the wheat to grow and ripen, must cook yourbread with the same fire. For the fire of the sun gives life to the wheat, tothe bread, and to the body. But the fire of death kills the wheat, the bread,and the body. And the living angels of the living God serv e only living men.For God is the God of the living, and not the God of the dead.
"So eat always from the table of God:the fruits of the trees, the grain and grasses of the field, the milk ofbeasts, and the honey of bees. For everything beyond these is of Satan, andleads by the way of sins and of diseases unto death. But the foods which youeat from the abundant table of God give strength and youth to your body, andyou will never see diseases For the table of God fed Methuselah of old, and Itell you truly, if you live even as he lived, the n will the God of the livinggive you also long life upon the earth as was his.
"For I tell you truly, the God of theliving is richer than all the rich of the earth, and his abundant table isricher than the richest table of feasting of all the rich upon the earth. Eat,therefore, all your life at the table of our Earthly Mother, and you will neversee want. And when you eat at her table, eat all things even as they are foundon the table of the Earthly Mother. Cook not, neither mix all things one withanother, lest your bowels become assteaming bogs. For I tell you truly, this is abominable in the eyes of theLord. "And be not like the greedy servant,who always ate up, at the table of his lord, the portions of others. And hedevoured everything himself, and mixed all together in his gluttony. And seeingthat, his lord was wroth with him, and drove him from the table. And when allhad ended their meal, he mixed together all that remained upon the table, andcalled the greedy servant to him, and said: 'Ta k e and eat all this with theswine, for your place is with them, and not at my table.' "Take heed,therefore, and defile not with all kinds of abominations the temple of yourbodies. Be content with two or three sorts of food, which you will find alwaysupon the table of our Earthly Mother. And desire not to devour all things whichyou see around you. For I tell you truly, if you mix together all sorts of foodin your body, then the peace of your body will cease, and endless war will ragein you. And it will be blotted out even as homes and kingdoms divided againstthemselves work their own destruction. For your God is the God of peace, anddoes never help division. Arouse not, therefore, against you the wrath of God,lest he drive you from his table, and lest you be compelled to go to the table of Satan, where the fire of sins, diseases,and death will corrupt your body.
"And when you eat, never eat untofulness. Flee the temptations of Satan, and listen to the voice of God'sangels. For Satan and his power tempt you always to eat more and more. But liveby the spirit, and resist the desires of the body. And your fasting is alwayspleasing in the eyes of the angels of God. So give heed to how m uch you haveeaten when your body is sated, and always eat less by a third.
"Let the weight of your daily food benot less than a mina, but mark that it go not beyond two. Then will the angelsof God serve you always, and you will never fall into the bondage of Satan andof his diseases. Trouble not the work of the angels in your body by eatingoften. For I tell you truly, he who eats more than twice in the clay does inhim the work of Satan. And the angels of God leave his body, and soon Satanwill take possession of it. Eat only when the sun is highest in the heavens,and again when it is set. And you will never see disease, for such finds favorin the eyes of the Lord. And if you will that the angels of God rejoice in yourbody, and that Satan shun you afar, then sit but once in the day at the tableof God. And then your days will be long upon the earth, for this is pleasing inthe eyes of the Lord. Eat always when the table of God is served before you,and eat always of that which you find upon the table of G od. For I tell youtruly, God knows well what your body needs, and when it needs.
"From the coming of the month of Ijar,eat barley; from the month of Sivan, eat wheat, the most perfect among allseed-bearing herbs. And let your daily bread be made of wheat, that the Lordmay take care of your bodies. From Tammuz, eat the sour grape, that your bodymay diminish and Satan may depart from it. in the month of Elul, gather thegrape that the juice may serve you as drink. In the month of Marchesvan, gatherthe sweet grape, dried and sweetened by the angel of sun, that your bodies mayincrease, for the angels of the Lord dwell in them. You should eat figs rich injuice in the months of Ab and Shebat, and what remain, let the angel of sunkeep them for you; eat them with the meat of almonds in all the months when thetrees bear no fruits. And the herbs which come after rain, these eat in themonth of Thebet, that your blood may be cleansed of all your sins. And in thesame month begin to eat also the milk of your beasts, because for this did theLord give the herbs of the fields to all the beasts which render milk, thatthey might with their milk feed man. For I tell you truly, happy are they thateat only at the table of God, and eschew all the abominations of Satan. Eat notunclean foods brought from far countries, but eat always that which your treesbear. For your God knows well what is needful for you, and where and when. Andhe gives to all peoples of all kingdoms for food that which is best for each.Eat not as the heathen do, wh o stuff themselves in haste, defiling theirbodies with all manner of abominations. "For the power of God's angels entersinto you with the living food which the Lord gives you from his royal table.And when you eat, have above you the angel of air, and below you the angel ofwater. Breathe long and deeply at all your meals, that the angel of air maybless your repasts. And chew well your food with your teeth, that it becomewater, and that the angel of water turn it into blood in your body. And eatslowly, as it were a prayer you make to the Lord. For I tell you truly, thepower of God enters into you, if you eat after this manner at his table. ButSatan turns into a steaming bog the body of him upon whom the angels of air andwater do not descend at his repasts. And .the Lord suffers him no longer at histable. For the table of the Lord is an altar, and he who eats at the table ofGod is in a temple. For I tell you truly, the body of the Son of Man is turnedinto a temple, and his inwards into an altar, if he does the commandments ofGod. Wherefore, put naught u pon the altar of the Lord when your spirit isvexed, neither think upon any one with anger in the temple of God. And enteronly into the Lord's sanctuary when you feel in yourselves the call of hisangels, for all that you eat in sorrow, or in anger, or without desire, becomesa poison in your body. For the breath of Satan defiles aR these. Place with joyyour offerings upon the altar of your body, and let all evil thoughts departfrom you when you receive into your body the power of God from his table . Andnever sit at the table of God before he call you by the angel of appetite.
"Rejoice, therefore, always with God'sangels at their royal table, for this is pleasing to the heart of the Lord. Andyour life will be long upon the earth, for the most precious of God's servants will serve you all your days: theangel of joy. "And forget not that every seventh dayis holy and consecrated to God. On six days feed your body with the gifts ofthe Earthly Mother, but on the seventh day sanctify your body for your HeavenlyFather. On the seventh day eat not any earthly food, but live only on the wordsof God, and be all the day with the angels of the Lord in the kingdom of theHeavenly Father. And on the seventh day let the angels of God build the kingdomof the heavens in your body, as you labor for six days in the kingdom of theEarthly Mother. And let not food trouble the work of the angels in your bodythroughout the seventh day. And God will give you long life upon earth, thatyou may have life everlasting in the kingdom of the heavens. For I tell youtruly, if you see not di seases any more upon earth, you will live for ever inthe kingdom of the heavens.
"And God will send you each morningthe angel of sunshine to wake you from your sleep. Therefore, obey yourHeavenly Father's summons, and lie not idle in your beds, for the angels of airand water await you already without. And labor all day long with the angels ofthe Earthly Mother that you may come to know them and their works ever more andmore well. But when the sun is set, and your Heavenly Father sends you his mostprecious angel, sleep, then take your rest, and be all the night with the angelof sleep. And then will your Heavenly Father send you his unknown angels, thatthey may be with you the livelong night. And the Heavenly Father's unknownangels will teach you many things concerning the kingdom of God, even as theangels that you know of the Earthly Mother, instruct you in the things of herkingdom. For I tell you truly, you will be every night the guests of thekingdom of your Heavenly Father, if you do his commandments. And when you wakeup upon the morrow, you will feel in you the power of the unknown angels. Andyour Heavenly Father will send them to you every night, that they may buildyour spirit, even as every day the Earthly Mother sends you her angels, thatthey may build your body. For I tell you truly, if in the daytime your EarthlyMother folds you in her arms, and in the night the Heavenly Father breathes his kiss upon you, then will theSons of Men become the Sons of God.
"Resist dayand night the temptations of Satan. Wake not by night, neither sleepby day, lest the angels of God depart from you. "And take nodelight in any drink, nor in any smoke from Satan, waking you by night andmaking you to sleep by day. For I tell you truly, all the drinks and smokes of Satan areabominations in the eyes of your God.
"Commit not whoredom, by night or byday, for the whoremonger is like a tree whose sap runs out from its trunk. Andthat tree will be dried up before its time, nor will it ever bear fruit. Therefore,go not a- whoring, lest Satan dry up your body, and the Lord make your seedunfruitful.
"Shun all that is too hot and toocold. For it is the will of your Earthly Mother that neither heat nor coldshould harm your body. And let not your bodies become either hotter or colderthan as God's angels warm or cool them. And if you do the commandments of theEarthly Mother, then as oft as your body becomes too hot, will she send theangel of coolness to cool you, and as oft as you r body becomes too cold, willshe send you the angel of heat to warm you again.
"Follow theexample of all the angels of the Heavenly Father and of the Earthly Mother, whowork day and night, without ceasing, upon the kingdoms of the heavens and ofthe earth. Therefore, receive also into yourselves the strongest of God'sangels, the angel of deeds, and work all together upon the kingdom of God.Follow the example of the running water, the wind as it blows, the rising andsetting of the sun, the growing plants and trees, the beasts as they run andgambol, the wane and waxing of the moon, the stars as they come and go again;all these do move, and do perform their labors. For all which has life doesmove, and only that which is dead is still. And God is the God of the living,and Satan that of the dead. Serve, therefore, the living God, that the eternalmovement of life may sustain you, and that you may escape the eternal stillnessof death. Work, therefore, without ceasing, to build the kingdom of God, lestyou be cast into the kingdom of Satan. For eternal joy abounds in the livingkingdom of God, but still sorrow darkens the kingdom of death of Satan. Be,therefore, true Sons of your Earthly Mother and of your Heavenly Father, thatyou fall not as slaves of Satan. And your Earthly Mother and Heavenly Fatherwill send you their angels to teach, to love, and to serve you. And theirangels will write the commandments of God in your head, in your heart, and inyour hands, that you may know, feel, and do God'scommandments.
"And prayevery day to your Heavenly Father and Earthly mother, that your soul become asperfect as your Heavenly Father's holy spirit is perfect, and that your bodybecome as perfect as the body of your Earthly Mother is perfect. For if youunderstand, feel, and do the commandments, then all for which you pray to yourHeavenly Father and your Earthly Mothe r will be given you. For the wisdom, thelove, and the power of God are above all.
"After thismanner, therefore, pray to your Heavenly Father: Our Father which art inheaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as itis in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as weforgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power,and the glory, for ever. Amen.
"And afterthis manner pray to your Earthly Mother: Our Mother which art upon earth,hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, and thy will be done in us, as it is inthee. As thou sendest every day thy angels, send them to us also. Forgive usour sins, as we atone all our sins against thee. And lead us not into sickness,but d eliver us from allevil, for thine is the earth, the body, and the health. Amen.
And the y all prayed together with Jesus to the Heavenly Father and to theEarthly Mother. And afterwards Jesus spoke thus to them:"Even as your bodies have been reborn through the Earthly Mother's angels,may your spirit, likewise, be reborn through the angels of the Heavenly Father.Become, therefore, true Sons of your Father and of your Mother, and trueBrothers of the Sons of Men. Till now you were at war with your Father, withyour Mother, and with your Brothers. And you have served Satan. From today liveat peace with your Heavenly Father, and with your Earthly Mother, and with yourBrothers, the Sons of Men. And fight only against Satan, lest he rob you ofyour peace. I give the peace of your Earthly Mother to your body, and the peaceof your Heav enly Father to your spirit. And let the peace ofboth reign among the Sons of Men. "Come to me, all that are weary andthat suffer in strife and affliction! For my peace will strengthen you andcomfort you. For my peace is exceeding full of joy. Wherefore do I always greetyou after this manner: 'Peace be with you!' Do you always, therefore, so greetone another, that upon your body may descend the peace of your Earthly Mother,and upon your spirit the peace of your Heavenly Father. And then you will findpeace also among yourselves, for the kingdom of God is within you. And nowreturn to your Brothers with whom hitherto you were at war, and give your peaceto them also. For happy are they that strive for peace, for they will find thepeace of God. Go, and sin no more. And give to every one your peace, even a s Ihave given my peace unto you. For my peace is of God. Peace be with you."
And he left them. And his peace descended upon them; and intheir heart the angel of love, in their head the wisdom of law, and in theirhands the power of rebirth, they went forth among the Sons of Men, to bring the light of peace tothose that warred in darkness.
And they parted, wishing one to another:"PEACE BE WITH YOU." |
