[Preface] [1 2 3 Jared] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Mohonri] [1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Moroni] [Pagag] [IAO]
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. Now I, Mohonri Moriancumer, high priest and prophet of the most high, would speak somewhat of our days as we dwelt in the land which we designated Moriancumer, by the sea east.
2. For after our travels for seven full years we were given a rest of the most high, and he designed to try us and purge us, sifting out all evil from amongst us that we might be a most holy people.
3. And we were obedient to his will, according to the measure of our stature in him.
4. Nevertheless we were yet weak in many areas, after the weakness of fallen man.
5. For the ordinances of light, designed of the Elohim to redeem us from the carnal nature of fallen man, had not yet become spiritual realities in all of our lives.
6. And not all who have been blessed to receive the physical aspect of these ordinances had as yet received their spiritual counterpart, and the holy spirit of promise had as yet not sealed us all up above the fall.
7. Nevertheless we were zealous in living the laws of light to the best of our ability, and we were highly blessed.
8. Daily we were engaged in the affairs of his holy house, and thus we grew in grace and knowledge.
9. Now, near the shore, at the base of a large mountain, we did discover a cavern.
10. And we were moved to consecrate the use of the same to the lord.
11. Wherefore we began to call the place the mount of the lord, and it's name was Shulem.
12. And we were exceedingly reluctant to defile it's slopes, for we felt that in this virgin land, perhaps no unholy foot had ever ascended it's slopes.
13. Nevertheless we were want to oft enter the cavern at it's base to praise and pray and perform the mysteries of godliness.
And we were a happy people, a people glad to be removed from the fear and the wickedness of the lands of Nimrod.
And we did strive for perfection day and night.
And we were not slow to study in the scrolls and plates of aur (light).
17. And we were blessed with a great measure of the spirit of Elohim, and thus were our understandings quickened and enlightened.
8 Mohonri 2
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. And I Mohonri, was high priest and prophet amongst my people, nevertheless, I was exceedingly careful that I exalt not myself over mine brothers and sisters.
2. For we were all one in the seal of the messiah, and in his mysteries of holiness.
3. And I did labor with mine own hands, and did not allow any to look upon me as more than a man.
4. For we were all men, and less than perfect in the eyes of our heavenly parents, and thus in no position to exalt ourselves one over the other.
5. Nor were we want to belittle woman below man because of their physical weakness, for we know that the flesh is as nothing beside the things of the spirit.
6. Nor were we want to ex alt woman above man because of their power to bring forth fruit of the womb; for we know that neither is man without the woman, nor woman without the man in the lord.
7. And we did seek to imitate the order of the ancients as it had existed before the deluge.
8. Even as Noah had tried to implement it thereafter, but who failed because of the wickedness of ham.
9. Nevertheless we know that there were flaws and failures before the flood as well, nevertheless we looked toward this time for an understanding of the holy order of god.
10. And in our hand were ancient records outlining all the details of the same.
11. And we understood from the holy writings and through the mysteries of the messiah, that all things on earth are meant to be made, and comfort. Themselves to all things in heaven.
12. And we know that the history of the world from the emergence of Adam unto Noah is as the history of heaven, from the enthronement of our heavenly parents on high until our return to them at the end of days.
13. Wherefore we attempt to imitate this pattern, that we may all the more quickly enter into a token pest through the mercy of the Elohim.
14. As axial was no more righteous in his life than Seth, yet nevertheless has placed over him in priesthood because of seniority; so I Mohonri, though but a man, took upon myself tile token representation of Adam.
15. And mine wives are as Lilith, Havah, and Sarah unto this the lord's people.
16. And thus we have established again, a re-enactment of the history of heaven and earth.
17. And I bear in me the marks of my lord and savior the messiah, and Adam who he hath redeemed.
18. And I and mine have taken upon ourselves the allegory of the house of Adam and Seth and all the holy patriarchs.
19. Whereas Ashteton, and all those that have come forth from Babel, have taken upon themselves the names of tile descendants of Cain.
20. And Ashteton himself has humbled himself so as to take upon himself the title of Cain.
21. Not that he would follow in the footsteps of this wicked one, but that he might mystically and tokenly recreate his history and the history of heaven.
22. Not in the ways of wickedness, but after the manner of holiness.
23. Thus tokenly restoring the e math from the fall.
24. And understanding the gravity of this mission we petition oft the mercy of heaven to spare Ashteton and all that are his from reliving the falsehood perpetuated by Cain.
25. And thus in all things have we recreated tile order of heaven and history of the predeluvian world.
26. And the house of Seth are also known as the house of the dove.
27. And the house of Cain is known among us as the house of the serpent.
28. And we are more valiant in innocence, and they in wisdom.
29. And he are one, and there is no division between the house of Seth and the house of Cain, nor doth Ashteton and his follow after the evil of the ancient Cain.
30. And thus we have preserved ourselves in purity and have rewritten, at least temporarily, the history of the world.
8 Mohonri 3
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. And it came to pass that we did live in peace, and we preserved in perfection the order of the ancients, even the order of the ancient of days, and in all things we did prosper.
2. And preserved in the ancient writings at our disposal was a knowledge of what is called the cave of Adam, a place of refuge wherein the family of Adam did flee.
3. And in accordance with this we did name the cavern at the foot of mount Shulem the cavern of Adam.
4. And to us it did represent the purity of the heart.
5. And when we were want to ritually reenact the sacred history of our first parents, within this cavern we would accomplish such.
6. And as we would enter the heart of the mountain to worship, so would we seek to enter our own hearts when we sought to worship the lord our Elohim.
7. Now it came to pass that twenty and though specific times the ministers of heaven approached unto us, and the
Veil between heaven and earth was parted, and we were instructed from on high.
8. And all this at the base of mount Shulem at the sound of thunder, even the trump of god.
9. And when we were called to assembly, at the holy mountain of god, we did so solemnly and with great reverence.
10. And we would wash and anoint ourselves, and partake of the flesh and blood of the messiah our hope, preparatory to experiencing the blessing of these sacred assemblies.
11. And therein we were taught the mysteries of godliness, and explained unto us was the symbolism and meaning of the rites and mysteries of the messiah.
12. And in the knowledge imparted unto us, and in the mystical rites of priesthood which we re-enacted often in the cave of Adam, we began to be a highly refined and powerful people.
13. And our greatest danger was our tendency to follow again the ways of the flesh, for not all of us were totally redeemed from the fall.
14. And even we who had received the spiritual counterpart to the mysteries of the messiah were in constant danger of falling from grace and once again becoming engrossed in the affairs of the flesh.
15. Wherefore in precaution of this, we did meet together oft in assemblies of praise and prayer, longing to retain the innocence of our spiritual youth lest in our maturity we became too engrossed in the mysteries and thus lose our way;
16. Wandering from the path of peace to one of power and separation from the ultimate intent of all these things.
17. Which intent is for our souls to dwell together in unity and love, seeking to bless and manifest love to all others.
18. And so we sought to avoid the pitfalls of ancient days, wherein mighty men of old, filled with sacred knowledge, would turn from the ways of Yahweh and Elohim.
19. For in discovering the spiritual laws underlining all creation, one may continue to outwardly conform to the laws of light and still reap mighty benefits from the same, yet inwardly stray from the strait and narrow gateway up to godliness.
20. For these sacred rites and assembles are of such a nature, and reveal such a vast repository of knowledge, that those that fully receive them in the spirit become as gods.
21. Not as the high gods reigning above, but as the minor deities who rule over the lower heaven.
22. Gods in comparison to fallen and ignorant men, yet but angels in comparison with the glory above.
23. Wherefore we warn all who come into possession of these things to be wary, for such is as a two-edged sword, which can slice asunder the spirituality of the unaware.
24. Yet can prove as a ladder to the faithful to ascend into heavenly places where man is not meant to go.
25. Now it has been made apparent to us that the sacred assemblies which we have received from the angels above are twenty two in number and are meant to go in conjunction with the seven higher mysteries of the messiah.
26. And that there is above these one final rite, which is a summation and completion of all the former rites, thus fulfilling the sacred number of thirty.
27. And these twenty and two assemblies correspond to twenty and two angelic choirs in the heavens above.
28. And the seven rites of the cave of Adam are also angelic choirs, and special rites presided over by the seven archangels before the throne of god.
29. Whereas the eighth and final ritual, which as the thirteenth mystery of the messiah, encompasses all other mysteries and thus represents god himself.
30. And so we have learned and have grown into men and women who are above and beyond the world.
31. And as we learn to apply more completely the knowledge and mysteries we have received, we are confident that our natures of godliness will be made more fully manifest.
32. For we are all offspring of the deity above.
33. And as Abba and Aima Elohim bore us above, so have we been born below.
34. Not of earthly parents of flesh but by priesthood parents in the spirit.
35. And thus we long for the fruit of our redemption to be displayed, and the holiness of our flesh to be made manifest.
36. And thus it was in the days. Of our sojourn in the land of Moriancumer, at the base of the holy mount of Shulem.
37. And we dwelt there in tents, fishing the sea and farming the fields, and are highly blessed. Amen.
8 Mohonri 4
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. Now I Mohonri, according to the will of god and the desire of mine people, designed to ascend the holy mount of god, which we did call Shulem, which meaneth tranquillity and peace.
2. And prior to my ascension I was washed and anointed and didst clothe myself in the choicest garments, even garments never having been worn by man.
3. As I didst ascend, I did kneel and pray under the sign of the priesthood, and I did so under the sign of the first degree of the mysteries of light.
4. And I did pour forth mine heart unto mine creator.
5. And I didst thank him from the depth of mine heart.
6. And I did cry mightily unto mine Elohim above, thanking them and beseeching them to continue to rain down upon our unworthy heads all that we were in need of as pertaineth to the flesh and the desires and needs of the body.
7. Both to feed the body and please the eye and make the heart of man to rejoice.
8. And the angel that had appeared unto me in the beginning, even Uphiel, didst appear, committing again into mine hands the keys and rites of this office, that they might continue with us another year.
9. And I was found worthy to ascend further, having proven faithful in those things entrusted to mine care.
10. And I did ascend yet higher, and knelt once more under the sign of the second office of the priesthood, thanking and praising mine maker for the blessings of his holy word and all those ancient records which we had been blessed to procure.
11. And the angel Offiel did appear, and did chastise me severely, saying that not only I, but almost all our people had strayed to far from the written word of god, and had not shown due reverence to the word of god as spoken through his servants the prophets and apostles.
12. Wherefore I was hum bled, beseeching god for forgiveness.
13. And behold, the mercy of god, how endless it is.
14. And I did take upon my self a covenant to renew mine valiance and encourage all others to do the same in all these things.
15. And Offiel didst lay al so his hands upon mine head, and I did receive again for mine people this needed and precious office.
16. And upwards I climbed.
17. And I came to a pool of water, and a flowing spring, and here I did kneel, and here I did cry mightily unto our Elohim.
18. And he did hear my cry and observe my desire.
19. And I did pray after the manner of the third office, and I did thank the most high for his blessings of worship and praise and prayer.
20. And Omniel appeared, and committed again were the keys and privileges of this holy office of Elohim.
21. And I ascended yet up higher, and knelt once more after the manner of the fourth office of the holy priesthood, beseeching god for wisdom and light, knowledge and prudence.
22. That our labors might be multiplied in goodness, and our stewardship and talents expanded.
23. And Ogriel appeared, even he who was want to appear hitherto to instruct us in these things.
24. And the keys were once more bestowed in mine care, to be entrusted to others also.
And so we were greatly blessed.
8 Mohonri 5
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. After having received renewal in each of these four offices, and after having ascended yet further, even betwixt two massive stones, I did again kneel and beseech mine god for strength.
2. And I felt inspired to enter in yet higher, and I heard a voice saying: ascend up hither O son of Adam; and I did ascend.
3. And behold, a small plateau of beauty and simplicity did unfold before mine view, and I did prostrate myself before mine maker, and he did say to me through his holy spirit:
4. Mohonri, Mohonri; and I said: here am I O lord.
5. And the lord s spirit did say: behold, Mohonri, thou hast been faithful in a few things, and I design to make thee fruitful in all things, wherefore cleave ye wholeheartedly to that which is good, and reject all that is less than that perfection to which I would have thee aspire.
6. And love all the children of light, even all the seed of holiness with all thy soul, and thou shalt surely be blessed forever.
7. And it came to pass that the shekinah of God's presence overshadowed me, and the spirit of holiness entered into me.
8. And I did live and breath and come to life, and received mystery upon mystery as pertaineth to the mystery of marriage.
9. And I didst receive of god the power to seal on earth as in heaven, marriages which pertain to earth.
10. And I was given power to seal up man and woman, as husband and wife.
11. That they might be bound together from one year to the next, and from one allotted time to the next.
12. And all this that man might know the joy of union, and experience godliness, and manifest below the joy that transpires above.
13. And I did attempt to ascend up further, but mine ascent was blocked by a massive wall of sheer granite, and from this point onwards tine slope of the mountain became exceedingly sharp.
14. And to place one unwary step could mean the falling of one s flesh unto it s death.
15. Wherefore I proceeded with care.
16. And the way upwards seemed at first to be easier to the left, and then to the right.
17. But both of these ascents were dead ends. And it was only through braving the sharpened ragged rocks directly above the-plateau, that I was able to ascend upwards.
18. And I did ascend upon the five points of fellowship, inasmuch as mine whole body was closely pressed against the cliff or side of the holy mountain, which was as god rising above and towering higher than all the hills around.
19. And I found a place of rest and a place for prayer.
20. And here I did pour out mine heart to god, and all the remainder of the day I did pray, and far into the night.
21. And by the light of the orb of night I did pray, and supplicate, and petition before mine maker.
22. And all this under the sign of the sixth token of the priesthood, being the first of the final seven.
And mine cry was heard and the archangel Gabriel did appear unto me and didst say:
24. I am Gabriel and am sent according to thy supplications, and because of thy prayer of faith, and behold I come with tidings of great joy.
25. For thy prayer has been heard and has been written in the heavenly books, and the supplication of thy soul hath been found sufficient for the sins of thy people.
26. Wherefore the grace of the messiah is in effect to youward and toward all the house of god.
27. And I now re-bestow upon thee this holy office, to be a guide and a direction over the household of god.
28. To coordinate their affairs and be to them an earthly representation of the everlasting love of their heavenly parents on high.
Receive ye now the light of this priesthood.
8 Mohonri 6
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. From this point onwards mine ascent was to the left, upwards ever higher.
2. And mine heart did quiver within me, like that of a young bird in the hand of a man.
3. And I was overwhelmed by the awesomeness of what I did, as I ascended the mount of god for the people of god.
4. Seeking to intercede for them and invoke the mercy of the messiah upon us all.
5. And I knelt once more in prayer according to the office of the seventy elect ones of which we have chosen but seven.
6. And there, under the hand of Rephael, I didst receive for the people of god the right to proclaim aloud the mercy and mission of the messiah of god and his kingdom and ministries on earth.
7. And it was through this office that the house of the serpent was ingathered in and the allegory of Adam and his posterity restored among us after an unfallen pattern.
8. And in this we were blessed exceedingly by the strength of this seventh office.
9. Upwards to the right I ascended again, and in a secluded cove I petitioned in prescribed prayer, the mercy and love of god.
10. Praising him for our union and love one with another.
11. And here Anael appeared, exhorting us to greater affection and consolidation.
12. And here under his hand I received a continuation of this holy office for another circling of the sun.
13. Back toward the left, above the precipice wherein I ascended to the place where I prayed under the sixth sign, even above this cliff I found a most blessed and beautiful place for prayer and praise.
14. And great were mine songs and supplications and prayers of thanksgiving to god.
15. And Michael the arch angel appeared and blessed me and mine and renewed the power of priesthood once more.
16. Upwards to the left, in fear and trembling, I approached unto god in the tenth office and prayer sign of Elohim, and there found waiting the archangel Commiel.
17. Great and terrible were his words unto me, and the admonition of god that he did bequeath.
18. And I repented sore for myself and mine and all the house of god, and was afterwards renewed once more in this office of priesthood.
19. Toward the right and still higher I ascended, and knelt in prayer under the eleventh sign, invoking the mercy of Elohim upon us all.
20. And Tzukiel the arch angel appeared with a mighty blessing, and I arose from the place in joy and gladness, having been privileged to receive reconfirmation on this office as well.
21. Now as I ascended up wards to the left, directly above mine original path, mine heart would beat wildly as I approached the crest of the holy hill.
22. And I came to a great chasm opening up into the very depths of the mountain.
23. And upon this ledge I knelt and prayed in silence.
24. I did so under the sign of the twelfth office of priesthood, and I mourned and sorrowed for the sins of mine people.
25. And I was exceedingly still and silent for a long duration of time.
26. And at length Cossiel, the archangel of god who is also called Uriel, opened up himself before me as he stood above the chasm of the abyss.
27. And he, Uriel, spoke to me of great and mighty things.
28. And here I was admonished to greater soberness, and discipline, and desire toward duty.
And under his hand I, Mohonri, received the twelfth degree and office of the holy priesthood of god.
8 Mohonri 7
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. And as Uriel disappeared, Satan on mine left hand began to entice me saying:
2. Behold the pit of god, behold the end of thy journeys.
3. The lord hath led thee line upon line, and to what? The darkness of oblivion; and here your end lies!
4. Leap therein and end it all, for it is god's ultimate test of obedience and faithfulness .
5. And I Mohonri thought upon these things for many hours.
6. And I knew that I must descend unto mine people to pass on the keys of light I had received upon the mount of god.
7. And I knew that if I were to cast myself into the gulf of woe, mine people would be greatly discouraged and saddened in all things.
8. Nevertheless I could not understand why it was that the end of godliness, or the path to it, ended in such contradiction.
9. And the spirit of god came upon me and said: before all men lieth temptation, and at the end of thy climb thou hast met with such.
10. The final barrier to thy priesthood is death itself, and this awesome gulf that separates man from god.
11. One cannot pass over the pit of death and enter the paradise above, unless one dies to all that pertaineth to flesh, and becomes holy utterly.
12. Wherefore, for man to ascend to the heights to which thou hast arisen in priesthood, and to go no further, is a darkness and death greater than this chasm.
13. As great and holy as the ordinances and offices of priesthood are, they are but a means to an end, and not an end in and of themselves.
14. For their ends is this pit, which is death.
15. And it's sting is rendered harmless by birth in the messiah.
16. Not birth as on earth, but rebirth in heavenly places.
17. And it is only through rebirth into heaven that one can escape the ultimate end of all flesh, which is death.
18. In token of the transitory nature of all priest hood which pertains to the flesh, this priesthood is under the necessity to be renewed yearly at the appointed time.
19. Unto which appointed time thou hast been faithful inasmuch as thou hast ascended according to the proper pattern.
20. And know ye the will of god in thy life.
21. It is to outwardly seek to magnify this priesthood for the benefit of all who have not fully risen above the flesh, but inwardly you must strive for greater things.
22. For total and absolute redemption from the fall of the flesh, achieving ultimate and perfect rebirth in the kingdom of the spirit.
23. Descend now and reconfer this priesthood unto all the worthy, and make known unto them those appropriate truths pertaining to them.
24. Call your solemn assemblies, and organize the quorums of mine priesthood, and then disclose to them their need for renewal of their dedication to me. Amen.
25. And I Mohonri descended from the mount of Shulem unto mine people.
26. And they greatly rejoiced at mine return, and at their renewal in priesthood.
27. And I did reconfirm them unto these various offices, even as I had been confirmed.
28. And all this did we do according to the will of god
And whisperings of the spirit of holiness, amen.
8 Mohonri 8
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. And it came to pass that after I, Mohonri, had descended from the mountain of the lord, all the people of the lord did assemble to hear mine words.
2. And these are the utterances given me and others at that time.
3. And I opened mine mouth, and the breath of the spirit was in me, and I spoke saying:
4. Hear ye, O ye people of the lord, even all ye who have covenanted before god to both serve and love him.
5. Behold, I have ascended upwards and inwards toward god, and of angels and archangels have been entertained.
6. We have once again been entrusted with a most sacred and precious trust, even the trust of priesthood which hath been bequeathed unto us for another circle of the sun.
7. Let us be more valiant this year than the last, for sore were the rebukings which I have received for us all on the holy hill.
8. Let us be more valiant in serving our lord and god and let us love one another more deeply, for this is the will of god in our lives.
9. And he hath promised unto us a promised and precious land, even more blessed than this land.
10. A land reserved from the beginning to be the foundation of Zion, both in our day and in a day far distant.
11. A day of trouble and anxiety, a day when the hearts of men shall fail them and love wax cold as a winter wind.
12. Yet in our day we have the promise of receiving such unmolested, and ye know how we were all miraculously spared the evil of the land of Nimrod and have been led even unto this land which we have designed Moriancumer.
13. And we have been blessed here, and have been commanded to tarry, even as if we were to continually abide here.
14. For the lord will not take us unto our promised paradisiacal land until we manifest first our willingness to live all his laws of light.
15. And we have been given the ordinances of god and the priesthood of god to assist us in our endeavor, let us therefore be valiant in holiness, shaming the angels by our purity.
16. And all the congregation answered amen, saying: so shall we and our seed after us observe.
8 Mohonri 9
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. And the spirit wrought upon Pagag, mine oldest after the flesh, and he Pagag stood and spoke:
2. People of god, elect of the Elohim, you are no longer mere men and women.
3. Ye all have been made heir to the throne of god.
4. Ye are the offspring of deity made anew in the mystery of god's messiah.
5. Be then not neglectful, but ever mindful of that place from whence ye have come, from that celestial Eden from whence we have all descended down.
6. And be ye not slow in remembrance of that earthly Eden that awaits before us prepared from the foundations to receive us just as quickly as we may prepare ourselves.
7. I urge ye all to greater wisdom in thy conversations, thinking it not inappropriate for many among you to take upon themselves temporary vows of silence.
8. For he who can not re main silent can never collect himself sufficiently to speak the word of god.
9. And it also seems good to me that ye all take more especial care concerning thy bodies, for they are temples of the most high.
10. And be ye mindful of it' s care and maintenance.
11. And when ye would trim your hair, or your nails, or relieve thyself of impurities, see that ye do such after the manner of the priesthood and at the appropriate times designated for such.
12. For when you remove parts of your flesh, even unwanted parts, some of thy spirit leaves with them.
13. And there be entities of spirit that would gladly absorb what you inadvertently cast off.
14. And we must be w m y of such, lest they reap strength from our weakness and folly, and find an entryway inward to destroy us.
15. And see ye that you al so take care in thy slumbers, waiting not till you are overly weary, or overcome with much food or wine.
16. For to fall into such a slumber, is to fall into the hands of others.
17. For your spirit will seek to flee the flesh when tile mind falls numb, and will not as easily return to it in the event of an emergency.
18. Sleep gently, sleep sweetly, sleep for short periods and then arise in prayer and praise that thy flesh gain not dominion over thy spirit, but thy spirit over thy flesh.
8 Mohonri 10
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
1. And mine third born son Narue arose, and addressed us saying:
2. Our brother's council is wise and we must needs observe these and other seemingly insignificant details of our spirituality.
3. For we have been given great knowledge and understanding of the things of god.
4. And to they who have been given much, much is required in return.
5. And we who have grown wise after the things of the spirit, is it not needful that we be wise after the flesh also?
6. For have we not been given commandment to both subdue and gain dominion over the earth?
7. And is the flesh ought else but reorganized earth?
8. Surely then the command given the Adamites in Eden is applicable also unto the flesh, and therefore needful of careful observance.
9. And mine brother Jared arose and did say:
10. Praise be to the Lord, blessed be his holy name, for we are given another year's opportunity to celebrate the mysteries of priesthood, and mine soul is overjoyed.
11. For I feared concerning such, knowing our slothfulness in many things.
12. Let us renew our covenants before god, and let us keep to the strait and narrow path of priesthood more diligently.
13. And mine wife Emna asked of me permission to speak, and I motioned unto her to proceed; and these are her words:
14. I am Emna, as thou all knowest, and mate to our brother Mohonri.
15. And deep and poignant is our relationship one to another, for we were born as one above, as celestial twins in the heavens.
16. Separated through birth in to this world, and again united through ordinances of god and through the great love we bear for him and for one another.
17. And through our unity and observance of celestial law, our souls are knit, and our spirits are as one.
18. Wherefore as mine husband ascended the mount, I spiritually ascended with him, and experienced vicariously through him all that we have received of god.
19. Wherefore I know the chastisements of god that are upon us as a people, and I am privy also to the blessings which await us.
20. Therefore I also urge us all to greater dedication and service of god.
21. We must forget our own ways, and walk in the ways of the Elohim.
22. We must set aside our own wants and allow the desires of god to sweep through us like flame.
23. We have not yet reached the crest of spiritually, nor are we as a people perfectly united as one in perfect pure love.
24. There is much to do, and much to be learned.
25. And until our measure of experience is full in this land, we will not be allowed to transmigrate to a more perfect.
26. When we proved valiant in Babylonia, we were blessed to depart.
27. Now I fear least we grow complacent in our spirituality and stagnate our progression onward to greater things.
28. We must continually stir our souls, and unendlessly pour out our hearts to god with enthusiasm if we are to ever become like him.
29. In the beginning we prayed less, but we prayed with deeper feeling.
30. Now we are accustomed to praying much, but are not as quick to pour our entire hearts into every word we utter upwards.
31. Arise in strength O warriors of light, we are called to re-enter the garden of Eden.
32. We are called to re plant this sphere with holiness, and prepare once more a proper environment to beget children perfect in their conception and pure in their upraising.
33. Become not spiritual sluggards mine people, we are called unto holiness and godliness.
34. Forever strive for freedom or forever remain less than your true potential.
35. For in us all is the hope of eternal life and the power over endless lives.
May the lord be sanctified in the midst of us. Amen.
