Being the heavenly records of Aph, son of Nin’ya, Most Holy Daughter of Jehovih, and of his companion, Fiatisi, pertaining to the submersion of the continent of Whaga (afterward called Pan, signifying earth). And this period was commonly called the deluge, or flood of waters.
CHAPTER 1 Aph
10/1.1. In the time of the world twenty-four thousand years262 before the kosmon era, the great serpent being in the arc of Noe, in the etherean heavens, and of the Sum of Howt and ji‘ya eighty-seven, the earth and her heavens were in great darkness. But the spirit of Jehovih moved upon His high-raised God, Aph, in etherea, to consecrate new dominions on the earth and her heavens. Aph said:
10/1.2. I, Aph, Son of Jehovih, God in the arc of Noe, in Sum of Howt, in etherea, came to hada, heaven of the red star, in Jehovih‘s name. In His wisdom, power and love, manifested in my own resurrection, to become companion to Gods,
263 The first resurrection is for those who are chiefly concerned with their own selves. The second resurrection is for those who have united together in a brotherhood to accomplish good.
The third resurrection here refers to the ethereans who were attempting to resurrect humanity.
264 i.e., instead, Jehovih is found by perceiving inward, to the soul of things
265 cancel, undo, delete, make impotent, erase
266 unable to speak, non-expressive
267 nonsense, expression, speech, chatter, babble
Goddesses and Orian Chiefs on the thrones of high heaven, proclaim:
10/1.3. To the atmospherean spirits of the earth, and to the spirits of the first, second and third resurrections,263 abiding on the earth or near it, either with mortals or without; to their God and Lords, and to their Savior, and to all holy ones raised up by Jehovih for the redemption of men and angels:
10/1.4. The voice of Jehovih, Creator of worlds, came to me, in the arc of Noe, saying:
10/1.5. I am the All Highest! My service extends forever. I do not go, but I am far away. I do not come, and yet I am near. My voice is in all places. The light of the soul of man hears Me. I speak in the vine that creeps, and in the strong-standing oak.
10/1.6. Hear the voice of your Creator, O angels of heaven. Carry the wisdom of My utterance down to mortals. Call them to the glories of the heavens and the broad earth. Behold, My voice is in the rocks, and in the wind that blows, and in all things that do not have tongues.
10/1.7. Show them My suns and stars in the firmament above; for they are My written words. My voice proceeds in the space of heaven; the wise angels of My exalted places hear the sound going forth. Listen to My speech, O spirits of the dead;
proclaim Me, O Gods and Goddesses.
10/1.8. They look for Me, like they look for things;264 they listen for My voice, like they listen for a man‘s voice. And they do not find Me, or hear what I have spoken. Yet none can efface265 My words; My wisdom endures forever. Behold, I do not come as a sound to the ear; My voice goes quickly into the soul from all sides.
10/1.9. Teach them, O angels; they do not look in the right way; their ears are turned after loud claps and noises. They cry out: Alas, I do not hear the voice of Jehovih; He has not spoken; no man has heard His voice; He is the All Silent, and dumber266 than the things He created.
10/1.10. They have turned away from My God and My Lords; they have shut themselves up in conceit and darkness. They have peopled the air of the earth with spirits of darkness, the drujas of men of darkness, and cannibals. Their fetals float back upon them; like devouring vermin they burrow deep in pollution.
10/1.11. Remember them, O God, My Son, and you, My Lords of earth. Have no pity, but be like a surgeon‘s knife upon them. You have told them, O God, that Jehovih lives and reigns; His voice stands the All Highest. But they have mocked you and your Lords, and turned away, going after iniquity.
10/1.12. They are fearful lest they believe in My Person and My voice; but of their own gabble267 they have no fear. They criticize Me and My God and
268 acknowledge, make known; have as a trait
269 those who have little to no substantiation to support their words
270 That is, to destroy, to engage in fetalism, which is to live on (devour) the substance of others. Fetalism refers to breathing (sucking in) through the mouth, which thus sucks the essence from another, the fetal absorbing the essence and draining the other. For which reason, the Faithist in Jehovih is taught to nostril breathe only, if at all possible, even as the high-raised angels do. See verses 10/1.10; 10/1.17-20; 10/1.29; as well as elsewhere in Oahspe.
271 These lights are seen in a small way in spirit circles; and they form in heaven, boundaries for certain dominions. This is most likely the original rendering of casting spirits of darkness into a place from which there was no escape. Not, however, that the place was one of punishment, but to the contrary. –Ed. [As prison walls are to mortals, so are walls of fire to low-grade and evil spirits, here keeping these isolated in small groups and in sections.]
272 decaying dead body, corpse Lords; but they own268 that they do not know Me. should adore? And the Lord, that I should listen? But I turn their eyes to the armies of earth; to the general and the captain. Then they say: Ah, our affairs on earth are officered and disciplined; we revere our highest, great captains.
10/1.14. Shall they turn God away, and the Lord?
What shall the Creator do to please them? Is the name of My general (God), and My captain (Lord), not My own creation? Who founded the name of God and the name of the Lord? Why are they not pleased with My Gods and My Lords?
10/1.15. Hear Me, O you etherean Gods and Goddesses; they do not desire wisdom and resurrection. Their love lies in darkness. To eat, to sleep and to devour270 are the delights of their souls.
The first lesson of life they have not learned; the first heaven of the earth is to them the All of the created earth, and they shall be seen no more forever. But the drujas and fetals shall be carried to Hautuon and cast into walls of fire.271 And they shall be divided up into groups; kin shall be torn away from kin, friend from your Lord to proclaim on the earth. Have I not made an example before mortals? See the carrion272 that rots in the field. Is it not the feast of the hyena, wolf and buzzard? Do worms not come to life in it and in turn devour the carcass that brought them forth?
10/1.20. What more is the earth (Pan) to these spirits of evil and darkness? What more is their first heaven than a place of perpetual devouring? Have they not made it a place of everlasting destruction?
They visit their evils upon mortals; the young child
273 Opposite this is the light and delight that call man forward (instead of pushing).
cannot escape them, nor can the middle-aged, nor the old man, nor the old woman.
10/1.21. The heavenly kingdoms founded by Gods and Lords have become pest houses for drujas and fetals; there is no place left for founding the upright and virtuous in heart.
10/1.22. Are My Gods and Lords servants to an evil world? And shall they find only rottenness to deal with? Now I have answered in the firmament of My holy sons and daughters. I have called them from remote places in heaven to witness the work of My hand. For as I made the earth and its heaven, so do I rule over it to the same end for which I created it.
10/1.23. When they are short of My measure, I lengthen them out; when they run foul, I prune them to My own liking; for they are Mine. Behold, the fool has said: Jehovih has made a failure! He has created a world for a certain purpose, but it runs foul of His mark!
10/1.24. Hear Me, O God, and through your Lords answer him in his conceit. Did I not quicken man into life in My own way? At zero I created him, and I said: Two roads I have made, O man. One leads to everlasting light; and the other to everlasting darkness.
10/1.25. Now I have shown him the darkness; it is My witness, through which man knows My word is All Truth. Why, then, should I not create the world, and men, and angels, that they go down toward everlasting darkness? Is it not by darkness and pain that I push man forward?273 Yes, the conceited man would fail himself were it not for the failures I set up before him. In what way, then, have I not created wisely?
10/1.26. Do I not have a right to do My own way?
Are all things not Mine? If a man dies in the corporeal part, is he a failure? How else could man rise to My etherean worlds? Open his eyes, O My God and My Lords. He was not, and I created him.
He presumes to look into My plans and judgments;
by his little learning he exalts his conceit, and pretends to know all things.
10/1.27. I cause the grain to grow in the field, and the day before it is ripe I send wind and rains, and destroy it utterly. I bring forth man with shapely limbs and strong arms, but in the day of his prime I cut him down. I gave the passion of love to the mother, but I take away her first-born.
10/1.28. Do I not know that first, of all things, man shall be taught to know My power; and after that, My wisdom? Have they seen the places of the dead, and hell, and destruction? Teach them, O God;
for their ultimate resurrection is My glory and My delight.
10/1.29. Shall man of earth say that the Creator was angry, and so sent the land beneath the ocean?
He does not have wisdom to comprehend that in this day I cast out hell and destruction. The druj is his love, and, as vampires, they feed on each other to the ruin of both.
10/1.30. But I know what is for their own good;
and My decree has gone forth.

CHAPTER 2 Aph
10/2.1. I, Aph, Son of Jehovih, high dwelling in the etherean worlds, and much trained in the change and tumult of corporeal worlds, answered Jehovih, saying:
10/2.2. Father of Worlds; Jehovih, Almighty!
Your Son and servant has heard Your voice. Behold, my head is bowed, my knee bent to rush forth with the force of a billion, to the suffering earth and hada.
10/2.3. Hear me, O angels of the earth‘s heaven;
from Jehovih‘s everlasting kingdoms I speak, and by His Power reveal! || Again His Voice coursed the high heavens along where angels dwell, older than the earth. Jehovih said:
10/2.4. Hear Me, O Chieftains, of Or, and of Oat,274 and in the plains of Gibrathatova. Proclaim My word to your hosts of swift messengers from Wauk‘awauk, Beliathon and Dor, and they shall speed it abroad in the a‘ji‘an mounds of Mentabraw and Rax of Gowh.
10/2.5. Hear My voice, O Goddesses of Ho‘etaivi and of Vaivi‘yoni‘rom in the etherean arcs of Fas and Leigge, and Omaza. Proclaim My decrees of the red star and her heavens; in the crash of her rebellious sides, I will harvest in the forests of Seth and Raim.
10/2.6. Hear My voice, O H‘monkensoughts, of millions of years‘ standing, and managers of corporeal worlds! I have proclaimed the uz and hiss of the red star in her pride and glory. Send word abroad in the highway of Plumf‘goe to the great high Gods, Miantaf in the etherean vortices of Bain, and to Rome, Nesh‘outoza and Du‘ji.
10/2.7. Hear Me, O you Orian Kings and Queens of billions of Gods and Goddesses: I have spoken in the c‘vork‘um275 of the great serpent of the sun! A wave of My breath speeds forth in the broad firmament. The red star flies toward the point of My sharpened sword.
10/2.8. Proclaim My voice in the Orian fields of Amal and Wawa; let the clear-tongued Shepherds of Zouias, Berk, Gaub, and Domfariana, fly with all speed in the road of Axyaya, where the red star‘s vortex first gathered up its nebulae, millions of years ago, and on the way, say: Jehovih has decreed a pruning-knife to a traveling world.
10/2.9. Shout it abroad in the crystal heavens of the summering Lords of Wok, Ghi, M‘goe, and Ut‘taw; call them to the red star speeding forth. Lo, she skips like a lamb to be shorn; her coming shock lies slumbering low. Let them carry the sound of My voice to the ji‘ay‘an swamps of exploded worlds, boiling in the roar of elements, where wise angels and Gods explore to find the mystery of My handiwork.
276 fishing net (long, like an extended volleyball net)
277 That is, they were older than any of the corporeal worlds existing at that time.
278 A dan‘ha cycle begins with a hi‘dan, which is the time of the greatest light in the firmament for that dan‘ha cycle. Usually Oahspe just calls them dan‘ha (when the reference is to the start of a dan‘ha cycle); or calls them a dawn (of dan), which they technically are, but more precisely they can be called a dawn of hi‘dan or simply hi‘dan.
279 a tremendously large number 10/2.10. Tell them I have spoken, the earth and
her heavens draw near the troughs, in the etherean seas of My rich-yielding worlds. I will scoop her up like a toy, and her vortex shall close about like a serpent hungry for its prey. Proclaim it in Thessa, Kau, and Tin‘wak‘wak, and send them to Gitchefom of Januk and Dun.
10/2.11. Hear Me, O Kriss‘helmatsholdak, who have witnessed the creation of many worlds and their going out. Open your gardens and your mansions; the seine276 of My fishing-pole is stretched; countless millions of druj and fetals will fall into My net. My voice has gone forth in Chem‘gow, Loo and Abroth, Huitavi, and Kuts of Mas in the wide etherean fields of Rod‘owkski.
10/2.12. Haleb has heard Me; Borg, Hom, Zi and Luth, of the Orian homestead, and Chor, where the central tones of music emanate, from Goddesses older than the corporeal worlds.277 To them the crash of worlds is like a note created, and is rich in stirring the memory with things long past.
10/2.13. I have spoken, and My breath is a floating world; My speech is written in the lines where countless millions of suns and stars travel, and in the midst of the etherean firmament of the homes of Gods. Let them shout to the ends of the universe;
invite them, in My name, to the hi‘dan278 of Mauk‘beiang‘jow.
10/2.14. Send swift messengers to the regions around the location of the great serpent, with the words of My decree; bring the Lords and Gods of Wan, Anah, Anakaron, and Sith.
10/2.15. Call up Ghad, Adonya, Etisyai, Onesyi, and the hosts of the upraised, for the pastime of Jehovih‘s sons and daughters in the high heavens, draws near.
CHAPTER 3 Aph
10/3.1. O angels of hada of the red star, and you, O God and Lords, upraised and mighty, with countless hosts, and quick answering the thoughts of mortals, hear the words of Aph, Son of Jehovih:
10/3.2. When I was in the Orian arc of Noe, and the red star passed the Utswowldayark, in the etherean group of Vorh, the voice of Jehovih came to me, saying: Go, My Son, deliver the earth. Take with you all whom I may send.
10/3.3. And I examined the records of the stars of heaven, and of the earth, and the accounts of Jehovih‘s harvests, and I perceived the bondage and labor of the red star were of the seventh magnitude in the advance of habitable worlds.
10/3.4. When His voice called the legions in high heaven, myriads279 of shapely stars moved in from every side, even from below and above the earth; and
280 a negative place, comparable with a calm on earth or a calm at sea. –1891 glossary
281 An agus is about a thousand miles. –Ed.
282 anchor, fasten, secure, tie
283 the etherean ships that came to participate these were ships of fire coursing the firmament, in
which rode the Gods and Goddesses, called by Jehovih to the labor of earth and hada.
10/3.5. Closing in on every side they came, nearer and more compact, and brighter, with sparkling pillars of fire, and down-swaying curtains of light, till all the space surrounding the earth was hedged in with this army of Jehovih‘s etherean ships of fire.
10/3.6. Again I heard the Father‘s voice, saying:
O Aph, My Son, My holy one, listen to the voice of Jehovih, Creator of Gods and Goddesses:
10/3.7. Behold, I sent My Son, Neph, to the red star, with wisdom and power. Long has he been gone, struggling with the black darkness of men and angels.
10/3.8. As a valiant soldier rushes into the heaviest part of battle, and forgets himself in desperate contest, but does not cease to struggle on, against all odds, even so, for three thousand years, My God Neph has hoped to save the whole limbs of the earth (the continents).
10/3.9. From My holy place I have watched the battle for everlasting life; but the too prolific earth contributes more to the corporeal than to the spiritual man. And now I bring My legions to the rescue of My valiant Son, Neph. Send word to him, O Aph, My Son. Proclaim to him and his Lords, and to his ethereans, My just decrees. || Aph said:
10/3.10. And I sent swift messengers down to hada, informing Neph, Son of Jehovih, of the march
