Book of Cosmogony and Prophecy
Prophecy Section CHAPTER 7 Cosmogony |1682|
38/7.1. Having shown the impossibility of philosophy based on corporeal knowledge to demonstrate truth in regard to unseen things, and in regard to planets distant from the earth, it now becomes the part of these revelations to put the student in a position to learn from the unseen forces which govern all corporeal things, man included, as a general and important part. |1683| 38/7.2. When a heavy stone falls on a man and holds him down, it is sufficient to say the stone rules over the man. If an epidemic comes upon a city because of uncleanness, it is well to consider that cause also. Nevertheless, if an epidemic is periodical to a certain city, even when the city is not unclean, it is wise to look for an unseen cause. The same rule applies in comparing one locality with another. 38/7.3. In certain regions of the earth, certain diseases are common; at certain times of the earth, in cycles of three thousand years, certain diseases were common. In certain places of the earth, man has at times, thousands of years ago, attained to great knowledge and virtue. But his whole country in later centuries became a wilderness. 38/7.4. It is not the place of a prophet to account for these things by accusing ignorance or war. The prophet must account for that tendency in man to fall into ignorance and into war. In other words, he must find the cause of causes. 38/7.5. At certain periods of time, for hundreds of years, nations have dwelt in peace, and have risen in virtue; then turned to war among themselves and gone down in death. 38/7.6. The prophets of old divided time into cycles of three thousand years, with slight variations. And they found that at the beginning of these periods of time, a certain impulse came upon the people, causing them to try to be better and wiser---even as the same feeling is manifesting itself this day in many nations. 38/7.7. The scale then rises for four hundred years, more or less; and, after that, wars and epidemics come upon the people. They then begin to decline, especially in virtue and peace, but the general intelligence suffers little for about another six or seven hundred years. After which time, they destroy their libraries and records, and reduce themselves to ignorance and vice. Then a darkness follows of one thousand or more years, with slight intermissions. And after that, for six hundred years the corporeal senses [intellect --Ed.] begin to ascend. Self‑conceit comes upon them; they think they are the beginning of wisdom on earth. Then comes another cycle of light. Angels descend from the unseen worlds. New revelations crop up in every quarter. Inspiration comes upon mortals, and they go to the opposite extreme, becoming superstitious and obedient to unseen influences. 38/7.8. Such, then, is the general character and behavior of man during a cycle (dan'ha cycle). And he rises and falls in all these particulars as regularly as the tides of the ocean. 38/7.9. These revelations are chiefly made so that man can begin to comprehend these things, and learn to classify them so as to rise in wisdom and virtue, and thus overcome these epidemic seasons of cycles. 38/7.10. As previously shown, there are positive and negative forces continually going to and escaping from the earth. Without these no creature could live on the earth. The negative imparts to man his corporeal growth, as well as his corporeal desires, passions, and so on. 38/7.11. According to the quantity and quality of the corpor solutions in the firmament and their precipitations to the earth, so will man be affected and inclined to manifest. These influences are easily discernible by some persons. One is depressed by a dull day; another inclined to drunkenness and fighting. A bright day inspires man with energy. 38/7.12. A su'is is so susceptible to vortexian currents, he can realize the qualities of a medicine while it is yet in a glass bottle, by merely holding it in his hand; or know the character of the writer of a letter by holding the letter in his hand. Yet all this is accomplished by the vortexian current of the article in question. 38/7.13. These revelations however are not in reference to individuals, but to nations and peoples, in periods of time embracing hundreds of years, and thousands of years. 38/7.14. It is an error to say that while the corporeal worlds are organized, with fixed orbits and uses, the unseen worlds are nothing, or at best not organized. They are organized, with orbits, places, forms, figures, and so on, as definitely as the corporeal worlds are. Their times and seasons are regular and well provided. 38/7.15. The passage of the earth through its own roadway, takes it among these etherean and atmospherean worlds regularly, so that the periods of inspiration, and periods of darkness, are not haphazard. |1684|					1682  For perturbations affecting conditions on earth, see image i102, image i101; (with text). 1683  And, so he also may gauge the effects of unseen causes, so that beneficial action can be taken. || Note regarding unseen causes, that the beneficial action taken by man may be augmentative, preventative, or palliative, depending upon the nature of the cause and the existing expertise of man; for, of course, some unseen actions, including periodic actions, are deleterious while some are beneficial. 1684  see image i104

38/7.16. It is not the purpose of these revelations to work out prophecies, leaving nothing for man to do. But to call his attention to the unseen forces that rule on the earth, and show him the way to make the prophecies himself. 38/7.17. In orachnebuahgalah |1685| the student will draw a curved line, representing the travel of the great serpent for three thousand years [i.e., for one dan'ha cycle --ed.]. This shall be cut across in eight places, to represent the periods of light. |1686| The places between them shall be made dark and light according to the history of man's behavior during those three thousand years. War shall be represented by black. The duration of wars shall be marked with a cut called change. Numbers shall designate the degrees of historical manifestations. Make one orachnebuahgalah for every great division of the earth. The scale should be from one to a thousand for the entire length; and from one to a thousand from one dawn to another, and from one to a thousand for each and every characteristic designated. Number man 1 and 33, and the moon 1 and 18; and number the earth 1 and 365. These were called by the ancients the grades of a thousand (So‑e‑cent‑ti). |1687| 38/7.18. These periods will be found to come under certain numbers, 11, 33, 66, 99, 100, 200, 400, 666, 333, 66, 18, 500, 600, 365, 99, 33, 18, and so on. (Not that the numbers, as such, have anything to do with such matters.) Thus, the moon's time is 18, the earth's 365, a generation 33, dan 200, 400, 600, 500; nitrogen or darkness 66 and 666, and so on. For which reason the following tables of times and measurements were established:					1685  see image i083, below 1686  Recall there are seven dan spans for a dan'ha cycle (04/7.19). Therefore the 'end cuts' numbers one and eight represent the hi'dans (initial harvest points), and cuts two through seven represent the dan harvest points. 1687  Thus instead of percentage, which is based on a scale of one to a hundred percent, we have millage, which is based on a scale of one to a thousand per mill.
