I have often quoted the Oahspe Bible in these
journals. The Oahspe Bible was transcribed from
heavenly records around 1882 by John Newbrough. The book is filled with
information and very interesting to read. The following quote outlines
the purpose of the Oahspe Bible:
"Not immaculate [perfect or complete] is this book, Oahspe;
but to teach mortals how to attain to hear the Creator's voice, and
to see his heavens, in full consciousness, whilst still living on earth;
and to know the truth, the place and condition awaiting them after
death."
"After the creation of man...the angels of Jehovih [The Creator]
taught the peoples of the earth to dwell together in cities and nations.
And at the same time the Beast (self) rose up before man, [in man] and
spake to him saying: Possess thou whatsoever thou wilt, for all things
are thine, and are good for thee. Whatsoever thou findest to eat, be it
fish or flesh, eat thou thereof, taking no thought of to-morrow.
And man obeyed the Beast; and war came into the world."
"And man ate fish and flesh, becoming carnivorous, and darkness
came upon him, and he no more heard the voice of Jehovih, or believed
in Him. Jehovih called out to man to desist from evil; but man heard Him
not. For the cunning of the Beast had changed man's flesh, so that
his soul was hid as in a cloud, and he loved sin."
[Today] saith Jehovih: "Behold, the seventh era is at hand.
Thy Creator commandeth thy change from a carnivorous man of contention,
to an herbivorous
man of peace...and war shall be no more on the earth."
"O man of the earth, consider what thou puttest into thy mouth, for
the atmosphere thereof is the food of thy spirit. And the habit thereof
will be entailed on thy spirit for a long session after thy mortal death.
The spirit of man take its place in the first heaven; according to
his diet and desires and behavior so shall he dwell in spirit on the plateau
to which he hath adapted himself during his earth life."
"If thou hast been a gross feeder on flesh, thy spirit will seek
to linger in the atmosphere of gross feeders still dwelling on earth.
The slaughter-house and the cook-house and the eating-house shall be the
places of thy spirits resort."
"And thy spirit shall feed therein and thereon; and thy companions
shall be millions of drujas; [wandering spirits of darkness and evil]
like vultures that flock to a dead carcass, and thou cannot away; like
a loadstone, are these haunts to the spirits of darkness."
"This is as one of the stones that covereth up thy soul, and blocketh
thy way to the upper grades. [heavens] Thy young spirit must remain
within the atmosphere of the animal creation for a long season; like unto like,
hast thou fashioned thy spirit to the flesh of thy body."
"According to the atmosphere of things, as to purity and sweetness,
behold, thy Creator fashioned hath fashioned them in relative ascent
above the earth. That which stinketh, resteth on the earth; that which is pure,
is upward and high."
"O man, I have heard thee, in thy fullness, [arrogance] say: I must
have my flesh-food; I must have my wine and beer and tobacco and
opium."
"I say unto thee, if thou hast not strength in this day, neither
shalt thou have strength to-morrow. What strength shalt thou gain
by thy loss of thy corporeal [physical] body."
"Consider thy corporeal body as a ship, in which thy spirit is sailing
across a wide sea of water. Better that thy spirit learn to acquire
strength whilst it hath a corporeal body to ride in. After death, it floateth
in
the direction thou hast shaped it. Neither hast thou power to go
against the current."
"Remember, O man, these are the lessons of thy Creator, which He
gave unto thee, to learn to master the elements of thy surroundings."
"Stretch forth thy hand unto thy Creator, and swear thou unto Him,
thou wilt conquer every passion that is unclean, and every habit
not conducive to the purity of the growth of thy spirit."
"This is the beginning of thy resurrection; and thou shalt be thine
own judge and master."
"Such is the resurrection of the spirit of men. Wait not for a Savior
to save thee; nor depend thou on words or prayers; nor on hearkening
to good sermons; flattering thyself, thou hast done well; but begin to save
thyself."
"O man, that thou wouldst put thyself in the way of God! To put away
the uncleanness of the body first, and the uncleanness of the spirit
afterwards. Seek for the things that are pure and good, instead of criticisms
and
philosophies, that rise up out of thy contaminated fleshhouse."
"By purifying thy flesh, by purifying thy thoughts, and by the practice
of good works done unto others, with all thy wisdom, love and strength.
For through these only is there any resurrection for thee, either
in this world or the next."

"To find harmony in Thee, O Jehovih; [Almighty God]
To measure the Goodness of Thee;
To rejoice in one's joys:
To treasure Thy best gifts;
To laud Thy Love;
To Love Thee because Thou hast
given me the power to Love,
and things to Love;
To rejoice in Thy fruits and flowers
and all perfected things;
To harp forever upon Thy glories
And the magnitude of Thy creation;
To sing praises to Thee
For harmony wherever found;
To Love to comprehend all good things;
To find the good that is in all men and women;
To rejoice in delights;
To teach others to rejoice,
And to search after all perfected beauties
And goodness and righteousness and Love;
These shall be my service unto Thee;
My everlasting Father."

"The first Virtue from the Oahspe Bible
is to find Jehovih in all things and to Love and glorify Him."
"The second Virtue from the Oahspe Bible
is Cleanliness; all peoples, old and young, shall bathe once a
day."
"The third Virtue from the Oahspe Bible is
to Eat no fish nor flesh, nor unclean thing; for what profit is it to
bath the outer part if one putteth filth within."
"The forth Virtue from the Oahspe Bible is
Industry. Because the Father gave man neither feathers, nor hair nor wool;
let it be testimony of His commandment that man shall clothe himself.
To clothe one's self, and to provide one's self with food; these are the
enforced industry upon all people. In addition to these, to labor
for the helpless; to bathe them and to feed them, and house them and clothe
them; these are the volunteer industries permitted by the Father
that ye may prove your soul's worthiness before Him. Without industry no people
can be virtuous."
"To keep one's self in constant action to a profitable result. To
rise before the sun and bathe and perform the religious rites by
the time the sun riseth; and to labor thereafter, not severely but pleasantly
until
sunset, this is industry."
"The fifth Virtue from the Oahspe Bible
is of the same kind, which is Labor. There shall be no rich
amongst you; but all shall labor. As ye develop your corporeal bodies
unto strength
by reasonable labor, so doth the act of labor develop the spirit
of man to profitable growth for its habitation in heaven. For I declare
unto
you a great truth, which is, that the idle and the rich, who labor
not with the corporeal body, are born into heaven helpless as babes."
"The sixth virtue from the Oahspe
Bible, which is greater than all the rest, is Abnegation
of one's self. Without denial of self no man shall have peace of
soul, either on earth or in heaven. Consider what thou doest, not
that it
shall
profit thyself, but whether it will benefit others."
"The seventh Virtue from the Oahspe Bible is
Love. Consider when thou speakest whether thy words will promote
Love; if not, then speak not. And thou shalt have no enemies all the days of
thy life. But if thou can justly say a good thing of any man, be
not silent; this is the secret to win many Loves."
"The eight Virtue from the Oahspe Bible is
Discretion, especially in words. Consider well, and then speak. If
all men would do this, thou wouldst be surprised at the wisdom of thy neighbors.
Discretion is a regulator; without it, man is like a tangled thread."
"The ninth Virtue from the Oahspe Bible is
System and Order. A weak man, with System and Order, doeth more than a
strong man without them."
The tenth Virtue from the Oahspe Bible is
Observance. With Observance a man accepteth from the ancients such
things
as have been proven to be good, such as rites and ceremonies. Without
Observance a man beginneth back even with the earliest of ancients,
and
thus casteth aside his profit in the world."
"The eleventh Virtue from the Oahspe
Bible is Discipline. He that have not discipline
is like a racehorse without a rider. A time to rise; a time to eat;
a time
to pray; a time to dance; a time to labor; these are good for any
man."
"The twelfth Virtue from the Oahspe Bible
is like unto it, and is Obedience. All good and great men are
obedient. He that boasteth his disobedience to discipline is a fool
and
a madman. Greater and better is a weak man of obedience, than a strong
man of defiance. For the one promoteth harmony; but the other rupture
it."
"Consider these twelve Virtues; they are sufficient laws unto the
whole world. Man may multiply books and laws forever, but they will
not make the family, nor colony, nor state, happy; without the adoption of
these twelve Virtues."
Oasphe Bible

A Light, like a Small Star gathered...
"I AM the LIGHT! And the LIFE
I quickened into life every living thing!
Behold ME!
I AM with thee.
I AM never away from thee.
Thou art mine now, and forever shall be.
Look upon me!
I AM in all things!
Nothing is, or was, nor ever shall be without me!
Hear My Love!
I AM thy Creator!
Only for Love, and for Love only,
Created I thee, my beloved."
From: Oasphe Bible

To live a simple life seeking spiritual truths is almost a completely
alien concept in our culture today. And in our society, what people don't
understand, they fear, and that fear causes them to say and do unkind
things, or worse.
To live a spiritual life
Is a simple thing:
Truth answers all questions,
Purity heals the wounds
Of the mind and body,
And an attitude of love
Lifts up every thing it touches.
From a practical point of view, the seeker lives in the ordinary world,
surrounded by ordinary people, and should appear not to be different than
anyone else. Good works, kindness and a helping hand will be accepted
by almost everyone. Sympathy, a word of encouragement and a willing ear
to listen are admirable qualities if served in small doses without fanfare.
"The only medium
through which
spiritual force
can be transmitted
is love."
However, I believe, the seekers inner world, seeking the truth with the
goal of uniting the conscious mind with the Soul, should remain locked
and hidden away like a precious treasure, from the ordinary world. Be
ordinary, in the ordinary world, not drawing attention to yourself; be
a person of light in your own inner world, always remembering who you
are, and stay on your path until the goal is reached.
Here is an excerpt from the Oahspe Bible that
I have always found interesting:
"Because the state is rotten, the politicians feedeth thereon; because
society is rotten, the lawyer and court have riches and sumptuous
feasts; because the flesh of my people is rotten, the physician findeth a harvest
of comfort."

I am not my personality because I created that persona, which is an illusion.
And I am not the clutter in my mind, which constantly demands my attention..
I am not my body because my body is a temporary dwelling, created for
me to experience and gain knowledge about this material world. My real
self, is my Soul which is one with God. If I am the Soul underlying these
other things--how do I bring that Soul forth? What do I have to do to
consciously realize my true being in my present reality?
The first requirement, is to prepare a pure dwelling place, my body, for
my Soul to live in, in this material environment. The quickest way to
purify my body is by fasting and once my body is cleansed, I can maintain
that purity by eating a natural pure diet of raw fresh organic fruits
and vegetables in season once a day.
Jehovih said:
"A pure man is as a clear glass; he can see out of himself, and,
so, perceive My angels and Me." Oahspe Bible
Second, during the time I am purifying my body, I must constantly work
to purify my mind. I must resolve all inner conflicts, banish all feeling
of guilt, regret and remorse, because they are all illusions which only
exist in my mind. I must completely forgive all of my offenses toward
others and offenses I feel others have made against me, because all offenses
are just errors made because of a temporary lack of understanding.
I must free the mind completely of the past and not speculate about the
future but live totally in the present. I must create an inner reality
in which my mind is calm and completely at peace. And, I must learn to
Love---Love unconditionally, all of God's creation, as God Loves. God
Loves Me, and all of my Brothers and Sisters, and all of his other creations,
unconditionally; because God is Pure Love. God is Love---I AM Love---The
same Love---All One.
These are the things I must do to bring forth my Soul. To really be me.
God is Love
Love is
The light
The law
The life
of All.
Love is the
Flowers scent
Sunsets colors
Fruits taste
Sunshine's warmth
And the sound
Of kindness.
Love is All
There is.
