OAHSPE:(Earth - Sky - Spirit)

A Brief SummaryJohn T. Richardson

(2006)

The purpose of this pamphlet it to shed light to those who think for themselves and are not meant in any way to put down any particular belief or Faith - whatever it may be. As long as your beliefs help you understand that we all are members of the Human race regardless of race, color, creed or origin, there is something within each and every person that is never completely satisfied in the knowledge we have -- always having a need for more knowledge (light) and the desire to improve ourselves and our fellow man and woman.

Dedicated to the Eternal One that causes all to be!

INTRODUCTION

OAHSPE means: Earth, Sky, and Spirit. It was channeled through John Newbrough, a Dentist, born June 5th, 1828, on a farm near Springfield Ohio. He was consumed with the desire to understand the spirit world. After meeting the Fox Sisters, he felt his search had ended, but he was not satisfied with the caliber of spirits communicating. He wanted to know the plan of the universe, how the angels lived, and the destiny of man. One morning in 1870, he got his answer when a spirit asking him would he like to perform a mission for the Creator awakened him. Being a rational man he answered he must know the mission in order to give an honest answer and was told they already knew his answer but he was not pure enough to perform it at that time so he needed to purify himself by not eating any meat and practicing good works and living spiritually in general. If someone came to him and needed dental work but did not have the money, he was to do the work and not charge them. He needed to do this for 10 years then they would come back and if he passed then they would tell him what they wanted him to do. That same day, he confided to his good friend Davis, and both reasoned this was not a dream, so both of them decided to go on a diet of nuts, fruits, and vegetables for 10 years. At 4:00 AM one morning in 1880, Dr. Newbrough was awakened by the same light and spirit, his first question was: "How did I do?", and was told he had done well, he had passed their test. Then he was told to get a typewriter and plenty of paper. He said he could not type and was told; "Don't worry, we will take care of it, but he must not look at what was written until it was finished." On the first day of January 1881 the first session began at the hour before dawn as he sat down in front of the typewriter and miraculously his hands would begin typing. When leaving his room he would always lock his door. One day when he returned he noticed his bed had been made and the room dusted, he spoke aloud "the spirits are certainly working hard around here", then he heard laughter and a voice said we are and remember no harm will come to you. On December 14, 1881, the manuscript was finished and it was published the following year

MISSION AND PURPOSE. OAHSPE puts all religions of the world in a perspective to understand how they came, their purpose, how long they lasted and why they fell by the wayside. Religion in some ways is like a tower of babble.

It serves to confuse people, divide them, make them exclusive and gives the one at the head of the faith control of the masses. OAHSPE encourages each person to do their own thinking, respect everything existing as a part of the whole creation, and that all things are connected. There is nothing that we can see, feel or touch that is not a part of the Divine Source. ALL was, ALL is, ALL ever shall be are members of his person.

OAHSPE'S VERSION OF THE UNIVERSE AND HISTORY. Its history goes back over 72,000 years ago to the point where spiritual life began on this planet. The first 48,000 years are written in summary form before the flood and the last 24,000 years after the flood are written in a more comprehensive form. Time is calculated in 3,000 Cycles, which are known as Arcs. As you are aware our moon travels around our earth and our planet along with the family of eight or more planets travel around our sun, and our sun travels around the North Star, the circuit which takes 4,700,000 years to complete. A vortex carries the sun and the other planets travel in the Sun’s Vortex, which is known as a Solar Phalanx or a Serpent. This may explain the theory put forth by scientists saying we live in an expanding universe. When a huge vortex forms, which many scientists refer to

Page 4: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

the black holes, it can create a world or worlds. Through condensation and friction everything is driven toward a center and a wark is formed, which later becomes a comet traveling throughout the universe collecting various elements before it becomes a molten sphere and is placed in a master vortex of some sun system. During the cooling process, sometime border eddies are 8ung off from the planet and forms a moon or nebulous belts around the planets, i.e., rings of Saturn, etc. After the planet cools a substance known as semu is covers it, the origins of which come from outer space. From the semu all life is formed, including the original form of man who is named Asu or Adam. Then spirits of the dead that had lived and died on other corporeal worlds before the earth was made came to imbue this world with their spirituality. Many of them had never fulfilled a corporeal life having died in infancy, so did not comprehend procreation or corporeal life. From this came the first race of earth people capable of spiritual birth which were the White and Yellow People, then known as the sacred Little People or I'hin. Later on came the Red Race from the Brown and Black Race mixing with the White and Yellow People. Later came the Barbarians who mixed with the Red Race, White and Yellow People to form the present European People.

OAHSPE gives the names of the Beast referred to in Revelation of the Bible. Some place names still retain names given by Spiritual Beings; i.e., Europa, China, Egupt, etc. In many instances Oahspe and the Holy Bible agree but in some they totally disagree. In some ways Oahspe explains some parts of the Bible like creation and revelation. In my opinion, Chapter 4 of Revelation, the 4 and 20 seats, and 4 and 20 elders could be the past 24,000 years and the four beasts are named and the four beasts acknowledged the Creator as the One who liveth forever and ever and is Alpha and Omega. In Chapter 17 of Revelation, the Scarlet Colored Beast could be Russia.

A BRIEF SUMMARY OF MANY OF THE BOOKS OF OAHSPE

In the beginning of the book there is a Glossary explaining unusual names, they also explain the office tides in heaven; such as God/Goddess, Lord God, Lord, Loo'is, Asaph, Ashars, etc. The first book of Oahspe covers the 7 areas, gives names of the beasts, advises us to change from eating meat to eating vegetarian meals and those who separate from the beast will form the foundation for his Kingdom on Earth (as in Heaven), and they shall be called Faithists. None of this information is new, it was known in ages past. The Aquarian Age is also known as the Arc of Kosmon.

OAHSPE

This book is an introduction to Oahspe, a book of many books. It describes the creation of man, his dependence upon the angels for upliftment, and his subsequent fall and bondage to the wars and religions of the world. Its final declaration is a warning to the readers of Oahspe that they themselves should not become bound to Oahspe in turn. For Oahspe is but a book and imperfect and is not direct inspiration from the Creator. Only the Creator is perfect and the best source for as the guiding inspiration of our life upon earth and in the heavens above.

THE VOICE OF MAN

This book points out our misdeeds as a race of people on earth. Labor is against management, nation against nation, merchant against merchant, consumer against producer. Its verses state that because the state is rotten, the politician feedeth thereon; because society is rotten, the lawyer and court riches and sumptuous feasts; because the flesh is rotten, the physician findeth a harvest of comfort. Its conclusion is that man realizes that only through Jehovih, can man

5

Page 6: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

find happiness and fulfillment and righteousness.

BOOK OF JEHOVIH

This book gives the meaning of Jehovih. It explains who the Creator is, an All Person who is Ever-Present, and of two apparent entities but whom is nonetheless one; the seen and unseen. The whirlwind is an example of a vortex from which worlds are created. The physical part of man is adapted to the material plane while the spirit part is adapted to the etherean world. The seen have a beginning and ending; but the unseen is made of endless duration. Signs of the original creation of the plant and animal kingdom are semu, which consists of jellyfish and green scum (algae) in the water. With every newborn being the breath and spirit of the Infinite Being goes into it, who is male and female. When a world is being created, it passes through various regions of the universe collecting elements for the future use of man at the time when he needs them.

BOOK OF SETHANTES.

Sethantes was commission as the first God of this earth and he came with various spirits with DO experiential knowledge of the earth or any plaDet since they had died as infants. By force or their wills, they created bodies that could affiliate with earth born people (known as the Asu or Adam Race) who at that time were incapable of eternal life. This spirit and flesh union brought forth a new race of people called the I'hins, the sacred White and Yellow People. At that time the earth had five great divisions (Asia, Americas, Africa, Europe and Pan). The continent known as Pan (or Wagga) no longer exists; it is also known as Mu or Lemura. Australia is not considered as a great division. The heavens were well organized with factories, schools and hospitals. Records were kept on each individual and when they graduated into the spirit world (through death) the records are turned into their charges (or guardian angels). According to Oahspe, these plants and fruits are most nutritious to the spirit, but meat is foul-smelling. The holy days were the four phases of the moon known as Mass. In the very beginning inhabitation of earth, about 72,000 years ago, before this age of Kosmon, is was said the ruins would be found and understood by clairvoyants. It was also prophesied that man would turn against the Creator and prefer idols of stone and metal and spirits born of woman (page 27, Verse 17). Sethantes ascended into Nirvana with his host 200 years later but remained responsible for the next 2,800 years or at the end of the cycle. Succeeding generations slowly fell into disbelief as atmosphereans slowly became in charge of the heavens.

BOOK OF AH'SHONG.

Ah'shong was an etherean God who came to the earth to restore discipline and faith by establishing a plateaux about 4,000 miles above the earth and named it Yeshuah, meaning "The Ultimate Salvation of Man". The earth's people had thick tongues and could not articulate the word and pronounced it i-esu which was acceptable and later came to be pronounced as Jesus. When Ah'Shong arrived at the earth, his ship was visible from the earth and caused stirring in the souls of the wandering spirits and unbelievers who sought refuge in the heavens that had tried to admit them for years but was now shut up. Since the spirits were afraid, the people of the earth also became afraid in fear of something unknown. All evil spirits were removed from the earth and placed in suitable places. So great is the wisdom of some Gods and Goddesses that to come within the earth's atmosphere was sufficient for them to read all the souls and prayers of mortals and thoughts and desires of lower heaven spirits (page 58). Towards the end of the cycle, the Second Book of Lords tells how God raised man up and how man again becomes conceited and forgets the higher heavens. There is a reference to Spirits and Fairies on Page 53, Chapter VII, Verse 5.

SYNOPSIS OF SIXTEEN CYCLES (48,000 YEARS)

The White and Yellow (I'hin) people had high spirituality and each mother would have from two to five babies at a time and had up to 40 children during their life (Chapter I, Verse 8). The generation had gone from 33 yean to 12 years and were considered as untimely births. During that time the Black and Brown People who were burrowers in the earth lived for about 300 years. So God of the earth caused many of the I'hin men to loose the generative desire and the Black and Brown People started having children by the I'hin women which brought into the world the Copper Colored People known as I'huans. To this day the North and South American Indian are remnants of that race. This happened in the 10 th cycle or about 54,000 years ago. During the 11th through 15th cycles, less and less souls were inheriting the higher understanding and spirituality and in the 16 th

cycle, none were to rise. At that point the destiny of the human race at the expense of the sacred little (I'hin) people had declined to where no on wanted to rise higher. At that point, many wars manifested, while incest and bestiality were common practice.

THE NEXT 8 CYCLES

A brief summary of the last 8 cycles (or Aries) including the flood which is known as before Kosmon (BK) and after Kosmon (AK) began in March, 1848. At the beginning of a new cycle, a high raised spiritual being with the tide of God and

7

Page 8: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

his host comes to the earth and spend about 5 years here and sweep out the old and bring in the new by setting the destiny of the people of the planet in a new direction. Also in the beginning of a new cycle, there is a lot or spiritual activity; i.e., the spiritualist movement. The Arc of Kosmon ushers in worldwide fellowship and brotherly love. After the flood, Oahspe goes into more detail because from that time forth we had a New Heaven and a New Earth.

BOOK OF APH - 24,000 BK

The Great flood happened in the Arc of Noe about 24,000 years ago. Since the earth was on the brink of total destruction, a meeting was held in the etherean heaven to determine the fate of the earth. People had become so conceited in disbelief until the only way to save the earth was to wipe the slate clean and start again. The meeting place in etherea was as large as 100 earths. These high raised beings were directed to break the foundation of the continent that had the worst sins and crimes, which was Pan. The remnant of the sacred little people were inspired to build boats on dry land, no where near water and the worlds people laughed and thought they were crazy. The God Aph, with a host of other high raised beings, sank the continent while the chosen people survived in their ships. While many people perished in the flood, however, spiritual birth blankets were used to save their souls. There were special places provided for them until they matured spiritually. Japan is the remains of the continent of Pan. There were 12,420 people that survived the flood. The ships congregated into four fleets of 32 ships per fleet, save two ships which were carried in a fleet to themselves. Their names were Guatama, Shem, Jaffeth, Ham, and Vista and the place they settled in were named that also and are now known as; America, India, China and southeast Russia), the Arabic Countries (Asia Minor), and Japan. The continent of Pan was broken from its foundation and cataclysmically sank. An account is given in Churchward’s "The Lost Continent." From these ships, the world was repopulated. Japan and some of the Pacific Islands are the only remains of the lost continent. As you may be well aware, there is a history of the flood with every race on earth.

One important question comes to mind upon which Oahspe is silent or I may have overlooked the answer; if the only people saved were I'hin, then how did the other people get back here? In my personal opinion, I would say there were apparently survivors of other races but they were very few and powerless after the flood to be of any consequence. Another thing Oahspe never addresses is Atlantis. The continent that was sunk existed in the Pacific Ocean. Is it possible that Iceland is Atlantis? One source indicates that remains of older structures have been found that pre-dates the present settlement by Europeans.

It was prophesied the sunken land of Pan (Wagga) would be discovered in Kosmon. There is evidence of ancient cities discovered on some of the Pacific Islands. Also Churchward refers to the lost continent as Mu. It takes about 200

8

Page 9: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

years into a cycle before the full impact of a new cycle completely manifests itself: I would say about 2,048 would be the time for this cycle we are in. According to Oahspe, 24 billion, four hundred million people perished in the flood. Three billion were fetals and familiars and chaotic (page 75, Chapter III, Verse 32 and Chapter IV). After the flood, it was declared a new heaven and a new earth.

BOOK OF SUE - 21,000 BK

Apparently all the I'huan People were lost in the flood, because in the second cycle after the flood the I'hins mixed again with the Black and Brown People and brought forth the I'huan Race again. The God Sue came in this cycle and made it a policy that people have more responsibility, which included tyrants and kings. In the past they would come in, subdue them and take over; now they come in, subdue them, but put them in charge under their own supervision. Sue built a crescent ship of fire and redeemed the earth once more. After spending 3 years in the earth's heavens, many were prepared for the 3rd Resurrection and a ship known as an Airavagna was set to receive them and take them to higher realms. After about 1000 years, darkness began to fall on the earth and many angels rose up to declare themselves as Gods which confused earth's people as to who was the true God.

BOOK OF APOLLO - 18,000 BK

To Oahspe students, Apollo is very dear to our hearts because he is earth born and ascended to the etherean worlds and had been promoted to an Orian Chief position as Controller of Vortexes. He came back to mother earth with authority and power to restore the earth back to normal order and a higher understanding of the Creator. He explains the meaning of becoming one with the Father and Nirvana. Since the days of the flood, man had reverted back to some of his basic survival ways by eating his food raw. During the time of Apollo, the sacred people mixed with the I'uans and brought forth a new race known as the Ongweegans (Ghans) having the symmetry of the I'hins and savageness of the I'huan, and so a new race was born into the world (the Orientals). Angels from the lower heavens taught them how to neuter their enemies, make spears, bow and arrows, darts, fishing hook and nets, how to make fire with the flint stones and how to cook flesh and fish to make it more palatable. This was the first cooked food since the flood 6,000 years before. The I'hin were told that there were millions of new worlds coming into being every day. Through Apollo, people were inspired to erect images in the temples to signify harmony and· music. Although Apollo's name was written in different languages, it still meant Apollo (page 116, Verses 8 -10). The people of the earth who were sufficiently mature in spirit went to the third resurrection and an adavaysit ship of fire came to receive them.

Page 10: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

When spirits left mother earth to ascend into nirvana, they were known as brides and bridegrooms of Jehovih. This ship was commanded by Cim'iad, an Etherean Goddess who was small, dark, and of deep love. Upon his own departure, Apollo cried. Although 68,000 years old, he still had the human trait of love, laughter and the tears of sweet sorrow we all experience when we part from our loved ones (page 123, Verse 5). Apollo's visit inspired people to appreciate a beautiful body, however, later in the cycle people went too far in that they would kill malformed children, thereby f filling the heavens up with untimely births (into the spirit world). Then a lot of lesser Gods declared themselves as Apollo and broke away from the organized heavens. Although this was a short cycle (2,800 years), for the first time prophets of God came from other than the I'hin Race (the I'huans).

BOOK OF THOR -15,000 BKThe God Thor came, broke up the false Lords and Gods heavens, put some of his people in charge to show them the right way. Also during this cycle, the survivors from the flood (the chosen sacred people) visited their lost brethren of the flood. This journey took many years to complete and some either died or were lost or tempted along the way, so all did not return home. This is sometimes referred to as Lamentations. A huge photosphere ship was sent to harvest the souls (Upper Book, Page 132, Verses 14 - 15). They also gathered up all the dark spirits of the earth and created a spiritual world, which could be inhabited inside, and out. The chosen were taught how to write written words which were in symbolic / picture form, i.e., figures, etc (page 126, Verses 3 - 22) As usual in a mid-cycle of disbelief in higher heavens manifested; with false gods elevating themselves by assuming names of Apollo or Thor, with many people thinking a second coming was at hand. Adding to the confusions of the time, separation of various tribes of people had caused many to increasingly speak various languages, thereby creating a tower of Babel so to speak.

BOOK OF OSIRIS -12,100 BK

The God Osiris is also known as Osire. He came subdued the false Gods and restored order. Osiris gave the Zodiac, which is also known today as astrology (page 163, Chapter IV), among a host of other inventions, etc. All these new inventions and astrology caused people to feel enlightened and lose belief in the spirit world. At that time the Parsi'ean nation (Persia) became the largest city in the world and was known as the Sun City, and the King was known as the Sun King. People experienced a lot of mental growth but suffered in spiritual growth. They believed that spirit could only be believed if it could be proven through some form or mechanical calculation. We are still carrying some baggage from that area. The shepherd kings came into being that later became Jews, Greeks, Phoenicians, Syrians, Egyptians, Berbers, etc. They were taught how to make

10

Page 11: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

leather out of skins, where they carried their milk, which was thus churned and made the first butter in the world. During the later part of the cycle many people and spirits suffered a poverty of spirit due to this period of perceived enlightenment. However, the heavens over North and South Guatama (America) did manage to remain organic the entire cycle, which was a first.

BOOK OF FRAGAPATTI - 8,900 BK

Fragapatti came to the earth to inspire a resurgence of spirituality by raising an earth born prophet among the Ghans. The problems of this world were not as pressing a matter as completing the resurrection of people from a world by the name of Unhowitchata, which had been dissolved some 20 days ago. It had thirty thousand million spirits wrapped in corporeality. They were imperfect human souls too abundant for quality. After Fragapatti handled that matter, he set off on his trip to earth for five years which was considered by him a vacation. During his trip he met Elim, an old friend of 90,000 years duration. He later met five-hundred million ethereans on a voyage of exploration of more than four million years throughout the universe; their ship was almost like a world, they talked of going home. Their pilots had coursed the firmament long before the earth was made. Upon Fragapatti's arrival above the earth he created a heaven on an uninhabited plateau, and invited the God of the earth up for consultation and briefing. Later he visited another plateau inhabited by a God named Hoab for about 2,100 years but did not understand the etherean world's because he felt he had already reached the highest realm of heaven and was content. After Fragapatti convinced him of the existence of the higher realms he became a willing leader and worker and was later promoted to God of the earth. The landmasses were renamed (page 192, Chapter VIII, Verses 1-6), and officers were named and installed. Yaton'te was installed as Lord-God of North Gutama (North America). The people of Gutama (Indians) fell into disbelief, but Yaton'te created a huge spiraling plateaux called Hochedowa, meaning happy hunting grounds, which still exist today. Hapacha, the God over North Gutama managed to keep his entire heavenly plateaux organic and cohesive for 3,000 years (one cycle) which was a first for the earth. The Kosmon Age was predicted to happen 8,900 years from that time (1848 AD). During this cycle, the Div was established in heaven now known as Divine, or Divinity. During Fragapatti's tenure of duty on earth, Zarathustra was born of a purported virgin birth and was bigger and stronger than any man. God of the earth gave Zarathustra the written word to be given to mankind in general and from that came the phonetic style of writing, which is used practically throughout the world. The original form of writing was symbolic writing. Egyptian Hieroglyphics, Chinese and some road signs are good examples of symbol writing. Zarathustra was crucified with a criminals on each side of him. They all were later fed to the lions. After his death, Zarathustra returned the next day and for the next four days taught them many things, then departed in a ship of fire to the Mouru Heaven. During the middle of this cycle, a young God named Ahura broke away from the Divinity and set up his own so

11

Page 12: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

called highest heaven. However, towards the end of the cycle he ended up in hell but was rescued and accepted back into the fold.

BOOK OF DIVIVITY

After Fragapatti returned to etherea, a heavenly organization called Div, Diva, Divan (Divinity) was created to provide comprehensive understanding of heaven and earth so peace and harmony would exist between heaven and the world (page 281, Chapter I, Verses 22 and 37; Chapter III, Verses 3,10 and 29; Chapter V, Verses I and 3; Chapter VII, Verses 4 and 9 - 11). However, when things get too pure or reach a pinnacle, they change: so it is with Lords and Gods. One God by the name of Ahura broke away from the Divinity and inf1uenced a host of other Lords and high raised angles to join him. This act alone caused these rebels to declare themselves as the all-highest and thus they became false Lords and Gods. For a long season they prosper but seldom more than three thousand years due to the new cycle. Ahura declared himself as the Holy Begotten Son of all Created Creations. After about 1,000 years, things came undone because some of the Lords and Gods that had joined him broke away and re-affiliated with God of the Earth. Then later gross matter called a'ji started falling on the planet which caused all people to become less spiritual and more mundane and spirits to be more rebellious. People became more sexually oriented and had many children. The gross matter also caused heavenly plateaus to come closer to the earth when lower grades of spirits inhabit them and when they touch the earth they break up. When this happens, spirits who had been loyal servants turn their masters because they come to realize they had been duped for many years and cast them in hell. The hells in some instance may be even worse than can be imagined because it had not only fires, but also knots and suffocating noxious gases and all other unimaginable torments. However, they do not last forever; at the end of a cycle they are rescued and cleared away and restored to good sense and order and again put on the right track, etc.

BOOK OF CPENTA-ARMIJ - 5,800 BK

Cpenta-Armij, a high raised Goddess from Nirvana came to the heavens of the earth to supervise the birth of four Great Prophets: Abraham, Po, Brahma, and Eawatah. Po was of Chinese decent and his line of light came from Zarathustra. With the help of HiSeiang and Ah Sin, Po re-established the Zarathustrian religion in China (then known as Jaffeth). Abraham was a Zarathustrian and was born in Persia now known as Iran. Since Arabia had never had a prophet, Abraham was commanded to move there to live and the rest is history. Brahma was born in India and he was also from the light of Zarathnstra. He met and married a woman named Yu-tiv. This is the most beautiful love story I have ever read (page 347-350, Verse 33). Their first six children that Brahma and Yu-tiv

12

Page 13: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

had were conceived in belief and faith but the last one was conceived in disbelief (on Yu-tiv 's part) and was born in disbelief: Brahma was a trance medium. and one of his sons (Vede) wrote the messages down that were channeled through him. This is where the Vedic Scriptures came from (page 365, Chapter XXII and XXIII). Eawahtah was not of Zarathustrian light because he was born in North America, then known as North Guatama. In that language Gitchee meant Creator and Manito meant World Maker. Before Ea-wa-tah's time there were cities and kings in America, even today, evidence have been found to support this, i.e., great mounds, stone cities, monuments, structures, etc. There were great canals, pottery, worked copper, silver, gold and lead was used for utensils and building materials and weapons. At that time, the lion, bear, tiger and the mastodon were plentiful. They also spoke of rivers not going out to sea but sinking in the sand at a certain point. Ahura through his inspiration, laid North and South Guatama to waste trying to break the hold of the Great Spirit had on the people. Ea-wa-tah was raised up to re-establish the Great Spirit among his people. Took-Shein and Che-Guh worked faithfully with him while on earth. There was a book written by the title "He Walked the Americas" which alludes to it being Jesus, but it supports Oahspe more so than the theory of Jesus in America. One prophecy left by Ea-wa-tah: Many races will come and go on these lands but the Red Man shall possess it and inhabit it far and near. There shall come another evil God to flay and destroy my sons and daughters, to cover all the lands over with pure blood. Then I will come again and rout the evil God, raise up my sons and daughters full of glory. From far over the water will I bring their kindred who worship none born of woman, a wise speaking people, I will chase away all Gods and saviors born of woman. Only the Great Spirit shall all men worship. He established the Algonquin Federation, which was a model for the colonists when they arrived here in America. It was prophesied that North America (Guatama) would be the ground on which circumscribing the earth by different nations would take place, and revelations of heaven and earth (Oahspe) would be made to man, and would be called Kosmon. During this cycle a good friend of Ahura (Anuhasaj) was promoted to godhead but later rebelled and assumed the name of De’yus, Dyaus or Deity with his confederates; Te-in, Sudga, Anubi, Osiris (the false), Baal and Ashtaroth, all broke away from God of the Earth. This confederacy lasted for about 2,400 years. This was also the period when the pyramids were built. Oahspe also explains how and why they were built. This is covered in the Book of Wars Against Jehovih (page 452, Verse 8).

BOOK OF WARS AGAINST JEHOVIH

The Book of Wars Against Jehovih covers the same time frame as the Book of Cpenta-Armij, but it deals with many sub Gods who broke away from the Creator and set up their own kingdoms. About 200 years after the death of Po, Abraham and Brahma, three great people sprang upon the earth, and the Kings of Heleste (Greece) sent many immigrants into Europa (Europe). Many crafts, skills and industry flourished during that time, but afterwards the false Gods arose and did

13

Page 14: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

the same thing that Ahura did. Some of the names are in the Old Testament; Baal, Dagon, Ashtaroth, etc. During this time, many things in the Old Testament were changed to suit their purpose (page 401, Verses 15 - 22). At the end of the cycle all of them except Baal and Ashtaroth ended up in hell. Anuhasaj had been to hell once before with Ahura but only for a short time, however, this time be spent 400 years there. His confederates, Te-in, Sudga, and Osiris (the false) only spent 200 years there.

BOOK OF LIKA - 3,400 BK

The God Lika came and established Moses, Capilya, and Chine ― three great leadersforth at that time (page 465 Top). Most everybody knows about Moses but not Capilya and Chine. The gods of Egypt, Greece, Persia, India and China are now rescued from hell, restored to sound mind and spirit and are given their kingdoms back so they may undo the wrong they have done for the past 2,800 years. Baal and Ashtaroth managed to escape at this time. Capilya was born in Afghanistan, and Chine was born in Jafeth, later named China in his honor. Chine encouraged the Great Wall to be built to separate themselves away from the rest of the world and prevent wars with other nations. While Lika was on his way to the earth, he stopped long enough to observe a comet which is a world in the making (page 479, Verse 4). Towards 1,000 years of this cycle, a'ji started falling which disrupted the lower heavens.

GOD'S BOOK OF BEN

This book is sometimes called the Book of the Nine Entities (BNE → BEN), being the tree of All Light. It deals with philosophical ideas involving how wisdom and knowledge can be attained and evaluated. The main conclusion is that each person must develop both their power to logically discern truth, as well as their spiritual capacity to receive direct inspiration from the source of all truth, the Creator who is the Great Spirit.

BOOK OF COSMOGONY AND PROPHECY

This book deals with a lot of science and if our modern day scientists would but read and digest this, they would change some of their ideas and thoughts. Some examples include:

1.) Dead planets (page 583, Chapter I, Verse 4);

2.) The earth sits in a vortex;

3.) The present North Pole was not always the same;

4.) Heat does not come from the sun to the earth;

5.) The earth's vortex exists within the sun's vortex;

6.) Comets are planets in the making (page 888, Verse 7);

7.) Moons and nebulous belts formed from excess material being flung off planets during their creation (Page 594, Verse 14);

8.) Our Sun is a photosphere with planets inside of it;

9.) Luts is clay, stones, ashes, molten metals disseminated, and these fall to the earth in large quantities at times (page 602 Verse 3);

10.) There is no such thing as separating science and religion, etc. (page 605, Verse 6); and

11.) All the universe, is empowered by a whirling energy force, called vortexya, which permeates all matter, spirit, and ethereal.

BOOK OF SAPHAH

The Book of Saphah initially provides notes and plates which describe the earliest languages and the corresponding spiritual ideas of mankind. Later passages and depicted plates describe rites used in the past at various times by various religions, and Faithist groups. The Emethachavah (Brotherhood of Faithists) rites were performed by Abraham and Moses. In some ways the themes present in these rites manifests themselves in our society today; such as the phrase: The Two Shall Become One, etc.

BON'S BOOK OF PRAISE

Bon's Book of Praise can be compared to poetic prayers found in the Book of Psalms in the Old Testament. All of passages in Bon's Book of Praise give thanks and praise to the Creator, especially for the beautiful and awesome wonders of Creation found in corpor and throughout etherea. These songs or poems were composed by the angels, high-raised sons and daughters of the Great Spirit! The first 9 or so passages are titled by panic numbers, with the remainder named after various etherean regions.

GOD’S BOOK OF ESKRA - 2,500 BKGod’s Book of Eskra covers 3,300 years substance of heavenly records which goes back to Lika's time and also covers the birth of Sakaya (later became to be known as Buddha), and Kayu (also known as Confucius) and Joshu (later became known as Jesus Christ). Sakaya and Kayu were born about 2,500 years ago and Joshu was born about 2,000 years ago. They all are of sub-cycle rank. On Joshua some of the material in the New Testament of the Bible is about him. The Sermon on the Mount is a plagiarism of his teachings. The material for the New Testament was gathered as a composite book from various sources about different prophets, i.e. Zarathustra, etc. Finally, in the end, the name evolved to mean Iesu Il Krist (meaning the ultimate salvation of man for all knowledge). During this time the Jews split into two different groups; the Oralists and the Leviticans. The Oralists lived under the oral law and kept the name of the Great Spirit secret and the Leviticans lived under the written law and began to worship the Lord God as their God instead of Jehovih. The God Baal saw this and came to them as the Lord God and gained many of them as his subjects. About this time, A'ji started falling and many gods lost their heavenly kingdoms as a result. Some of them were sub-gods under God of the Earth , i.e., Kabalactes, Ennochissa, and Looeamong! Afterwards, these three Gods banded together and formed the Tri-Unity (Trinity) under the Name of The Father, The Son and the Holy Ghost! The stronger they grew, the more apart they became. Kabalactes later called himself Buddha and said he was one and the same Sakaya; then Ennochissa called himself Brahma that was once on the earth; after this Looeamong declared himself Christ. Looeamong's right hand man (Thoth) broke away from him and became known Gabriel, now referred to as

16

Page 17: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

Alah. He accomplished this by raising up Mohammad as his prophet and his armies became known as the burning sword of the desert. Looeamong caused the Library in Alexandria, Egypt to be destroyed due to the fact the library contained conflicting information against the doctrines he had caused to be written on earth. During that same time frame Nu-Ghan, who was Pharaoh of Egypt and had persecuted Moses and the Israelites. Unknowingly Moses had put a curse on Pharaoh and only Moses could remove it. The God of the earth sent a messenger to Lika’s place in etherea where Moses lived, then asked him to come back to remove the curse. Moses came back and removed the curse and afterwards commanded Nu-Ghan to raise up an heir to the Father to make up for the things he had done against the Jews in his earth life. Nu-Ghan raised up Joshua who was an Essene. Joshua later became known as Jesus (a person of neutral sex gender). An account of this is given in the New Testament during the transfiguration of Jesus (Joshua), ect. (Mark, Chapter 9, Verses 2-13; Matthew: Chapter 17, Verses 1-13 and Luke: Chapter 9, Verses 28-36). Nu-Ghan related to Moses what happened to him when be entered heaven (page 694, Verses 47-57). Moses also gave No-Ghan a new name, Illaes (signifying Servant of Light). He was with Moses during the Transfiguration of Joshu (Jesus). The meaning of the term Holy Ghost was explained (page 695, Chapter XVIII). The Confederacy of the Holy Ghost, called the Trinity, were banded together, but were still independent and had their own heavenly kingdoms: Haractu (Kabalactes over India); Etashong (Ennochissa over eastern Russia and China); Egypt (Looeamoag over Egypt). Their main purpose was to form and alliance against other gods like Baal, Dagon, Ashtaroth, and together they did destroy all other Gods and Goddesses. Looeamong finally got his sound footing in Europe when he inspired Constantine the Great to raise an army and start a civil war in Rome, and gave him a sign in the sky "In This Sign Conquer", which was the cross of the Christians. Then Looemong (with Thoth’s help) inspired Constantine to collect all the literature pertaining to religion except the Old Testament, compiled it into a composite Bible but did not have a name for the representative person until it was decided that all great prophets had one thing in common in that they were Iesu (neutral sex gender), so it was resolved that the name should be the man Iesu Krist (Jesus Christ) (page 733, Verse 42). So all that remained were the three until Thoth, the right-hand man of Looeamong, broke away and formed his own heavenly kingdom, now known as the Moslem Faith. When the Great War broke out and heaven between Looeamong and Thoth, the chosen became scattered families as they migrated towards the West. They called themselves Israelites and Jews. After the fall of the Great Empire of Egypt, her people migrated westward also and married with the aborigines. Their Offspring were caalled Druids, Piets, Gales (Gaelic), Wales (Welsh), Galls (Gauls), and Yohans (Johns), all of which are Egyptian names. The apostate Faithists married with these people and their offspring were the forefathers of the French, German, Russian and English. For five-hundred yean more the wars between the four false gods, Looeamong, Thoth (Gabriel), Ennochissa and Kabalactes went on. They fought to a stalemate and finally came to terms and defined boundaries and peace reigned between them. These four false Gods are also known as the four

beasts (page 686 Chapter VIII. Page 686; Page 737, Chapter LI, Verses 1-3).

BOOK OF ES - 400 BK

The God of Earth pleaded with the four false gods to come back to the fold, but they all answered back saying that did they not have freedom to choose what was best for themselves? They insultingly added that if the true God of our world would but renounce the Person of the Creator, and believe rather in the Holy Ghost, they were prepared to treat with him. Shortly after that, a star ship came from the Nirvanian Heavens of Chia'hakad, only four-hundred years from the dawn of Kosmon (400 BK). God was instructed to inspire mortals to travel to the lands of the west (North and South America). Some of the ethereans were left behind to help the loo'is (masters of generations) to prepare for the Kosmon Age so that people would be free to worship God according their own highest light. In addition, the time had come for no nation to be locked up unto themselves. For each man is to pray to the Creator in his own way and not to the dictates of a Lord, God or Savior. Each man and woman will interpret his words as he speaks to their soul; and such shall be his sacred words. In that day, the preacher and the priest shall be of little avail; his standard shall be of good works, and not of words. Also, each person is to be responsible for his or her own actions. The four false Gods also saw the star ship land at the God of earth's heavenly place, which caused a great stir within their heavens. Each false God resolved to send a ship over to investigate what was going on. God of the earth inspired Columbo (Columbus) to travel West across the oceans, in search of the lay of the world. Columbo did this but did not know he was under the inspiration to do so. Jnst as the false gods arrived at the heavens of the God of the earth, the star ship left. All except the emissary of Looeamong left, instead he landed and approached some of the people to determine what was going on and an angel carelessly said that the God of Earth had inspired Columbo to discover the Lands of the West. The emissary concealing his chagrin left and reported this to Looeamong. So Looeamong ia turn commanded his angels to inspire people to turn against Columbo. God's plan in part was thwarted because Looeamong also inspired his subjects to go to the Lands of the West, which they did. The king and queen of Spain were inspired to turn against Columbo and put him in jail, which broke off the line of light from true God. But nonetheless, people who were outcasts, ostracized, and persecuted in Europe by the Catholic Church came to America for conscience’s sake, to be a part of setting the course of the new nation to come. The stewardship of the new nation was placed in the hands of seven people; Paine, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Carroll, Hancock and Washington. After the Revolutionary War established the Republic of the United States, most in this new country would now enjoy freedom and liberty never yet attained throughout the world. However, slaves brought over from Africa, were not yet free. Several generations later, the Civil War began not to free the slaves but to hold the Union together. Yet so fiercely did both sides battle, that neither could prevail against the other in this extremely bloody war. President Lincoln had an

18

Page 19: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

important choice to make in the matter; He was told at a séance through Nettie Maynard (a Spiritualist) that if he freed the slaves, he would succeed, but if he did not, he would fail. After the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Lincoln, the spiritual Army of Xeres, who once fought the Greek King Leonidas and suffered great loss, went south and inspired the southern armies while Leonidas with his army went north and inspired the northern armies of the Union with the same kind of discipline he and his 800 Spartans had against the 5,000,000 man army of the Persian King Xerxes. This gave the northern army new energy and hope while the southern Army became beset with doubt and fear. In a few years, the Union was victorious and all Americans were freed from slavery. The Kosmon Age began on or about March 31st, 1848. This was a time when spiritual contact was made with the Fox Sisters (Margaret and Kate) in Hidesville, New York, the daughters of a Quaker, who started the Spiritualist Movement. This was about the same time that the four false Gods were overcome by their own subjects and cast into hells. They were all eventually rescued by God, and before the Throne of Jehovih, had judgment passed onto themselves. They repented and so God put them to work to educate their fallen subjects in order to undo the harm that had been done in enslaving their followers. For no leader can rise higher until such time as all of their subjects have been elevated to the same spiritual awareness and understanding as the leaders themselves have attained, even though it would take many hundreds of years.

THE BOOK OF JUDGEMENT

God of the Earth admits he is our elder brother of tens of thousands years of experience, and we should profit in his wisdom. That man should understand be should accept nothing from angels or men because of the name professed. Only on the merit of wisdom and truth and such good doctrines as raise men up out of darkness and poverty and crime, should they accept either spoken or written words. The day of preaching and professions are at an end, God will have practice only. Our world’s spiritual leader gives a new religion: practice what you preach. Also judgment for: all religions and peoples of the earth; the numbers of the judgment; of the Jews; of resurrection; declareth a day of judgment; decree against infidelity; the Fathers Kingdom on Earth; the world's people; shows how the different kinds of angels administer to mortals; the manifestation of the Second Resurrection; judges charities; how to do charity; the missionaries; dominions; the man of promise; against war; against exclusiveness; government of man; what God has wrought; reveals his method of work; shows mistakes of man's judgment; and provides for increase. In other words, whatever decisions we make based upon our own judgment also becomes our responsibility. If we give advice to another person and they make a decision based upon that, we also become responsible for the results, good or bad

BOOK OF INSPIRATION

The Book of Inspiration contains numerous of seeds of wisdom (page 818, Chapter VI. Verses 8-20). The lowest living creatures is the serpent; when the earth was encircled with poisonous gases, poisonous vines, weeds, trees, and all kinds of herbs were rich growing upon the earth; from destroying gases and earth substances, the vegetable was created but were poisonous to animal life; then the serpents were created of all sizes and· shapes which were also poison. These serpents were carnivores, feeding upon another and self-impregnating. The air at that time was also poisonous and was driven down into vegetation, which purified the air, which was the first creation. The earth was overcast with falling nebulae and covered up the poisons growing upon the earth, and they were turned to oil and coal after many millions of years. After that there was a new creation with feet, legs and bones, the animals designed for the earth. After that the earth was ripe for mankind, so male and female were created, which was the second creation, which came from out of the dissolved elements of every living thing that had preceded him. The Creator has been put away by man and is now known as Natural Law; Moral Law, Divine Law; Instinct; Reflection; Intuition; Second Sight, etc. Although man was born the dumbest thing on the earth, he was given the foundation whereon he might attain to perfection in all the attributes of the Creator’s living creatures. Man was given the liberty to be carnivorous, herbivorous or omnivorous. Man was also given the extreme of liberty and is also accountable unto himself for his every thought and idea for his spirit and soul, and in his behavior he is responsible to all the world. At the end of the Book of Inspiration, four holidays are given: Holy Compact Day of the Holy Seal (The American Constitution); Holy Veil Day (March 31st, 1848 - beginnings of contact with the spirit world with the Fox Sisters); Fallen Sword's Day (The Emancipation Proclamation - January 1st, 1863); and Holy Kosmon Day. The Northern line of the sun shall be the end of the year, and it shall be caned the end of the year or last day of the old year. The first day thereafter, when the sun started on its Southern course, shall be the beginning of the New Year's Day. Although not indicated in Oahspe, Thanksgiving is a holiday that originated with the Indians. This holiday, in my opinion, is very spiritual and appreciative of family. In some ways this is the manifestation of the Emethachavah because all people celebrate it for what it is; family as a model!

BOOK OF SHALAM

The Book of Shalam tells how people will give up mammon, leave the city and go into the wilderness and build new colonies of families but none shall exceed a population of 3,000. When the population exceeds 3,000 a new colony will be created from this colony to provide for growth and expansion. Slowly the cities will become uninhabited and many will go to these new settlements. Each colony will have a covenant that all must abide by or leave.

BOOK OF DISCIPLINE

The Book of Discipline reveals who God is, the first and second resurrections and the difference between them, and how to attain inspiration from Jehovih and from the angels of the second resurrection. Shows the difference between the religion of the olden times and that of the present. Explains what following the highest light means. Tells who is and who is not prepared to enter Jehovih's Kingdom on Earth. Reveals the cure for remorse. It is shown that the renunciation of the Uzians (worldly things) is necessary. That first on earth, we had monarchies, second the republics, then fraternities, the latter of which is in embryo, and shall follow after both the others. God discourses on love; of destroyers, builders and the authority of his own words.

PERSONAL REVELATIONS AS AN OAHSPE STUDENT

Now to hit on some of the proofs or possibilities of Oahspe. In Japan today there is a remnant of a race of people known Ainu and are of small statue, and are considered Caucasian. In the Philippines, a tribe of people were found in the jungle and were very docile and of small statue. Bones of people of small statue have been found in America. I once talked with a Japanese Shinto Priest about the revelations in Oahspe, although I spoke poor Japanese and he spoke poor English we did communicate. I mentioned the Ainu Race and called them I-hins, he corrected me and said <I'hines> (I’hins). This priest also said Moses came to Japan, then he looked at me and said Ja-Ho-Ba (Jehovih). We both shook our heads in agreement and comprehensive understanding.

I once spoke to a Western American Indian about the semantics of Oahspe and he understood me. I also spoke of Hochedowa (Happy Bunting Grounds), which shocked him and he wondered how I knew this. The Vedic Scriptures originated from the prophet Brahma through his trans-mediumship, while his son, Vede wrote it down. Should you ever read the story about Brahma and his wife Yu-Tiv, and if that doesn't touch your heart, then nothing will. One incident happened when I was selling encyclopedias part-time while stationed at Hickam AFB

22

Page 23: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

Hawaii. I had an appointment with a sailor at his home to show him a set of encyclopedias. After arriving at his home and making my presentation, he didn't want a set of books, so I started packing to leave, then out of the blue, he said, "What I really want to know about is Yahweh". I replied; "Say what?” He repeated it and I happened to have a copy of Oahspe with me, so I told him that I had what he was looking for. I sold it to him with the understanding I would give him his money back if he were not satisfied. But later on he was very satisfied and we became good friends. Then I discovered lie could see aura and spirits and could travel astrally at will. After Elvis Presley died, he said be paid him a visit in the spirit world and talked with him for a while. One time while he was visiting my home with his 4- or 5-year-old daughter, he said something weird had happened since he had acquired Oahspe. I asked him to explain. One night at his home, he heard his daughter in her room laughing and upon entering her room on the second floor, he observed her laughing and hanging out of the window. He went in, grabbed her and asked what she had been doing? She replied that a clown (apparently a spirit) had came into her room and was making her laugh and had gone out of the window and wanted her to follow. My friend told her she shouldn't do that. A few days later, young girl came and told my friend that the clown would not bother her again. He asked her why. She replied that: "Eawatah had come to see her and told her". To me, this was very startling news. Although my friend was Native American, he still did not know who Eawahtah, the great Native American Prophet, was yet because be had not read that much of Oahspe. Also the book I sold him was the English edition and did not have the pictures of the prophets in it. However, my Ray Palmer edition did have the pictures. I asked my friend’s daughter whether Eawahtah had come to visit her and she said be had. Then I asked her whether she could identify Eawahtah if she saw a picture of him. She said she could, so I opened my Oahspe to the section where they had the pictures of the prophets and showed several others before showing Eawahtah yet she correctly identified him upon seeing the great prophet’s picture. This dumfounded her father and me. Speaking of things coming out of the mouths of babes!

23

Page 24: Oahspe - A Brief Summary - John Richards

I have also noticed that when Oahspe is meant for someone they will buy it sight unseen. One example of this is when I was on the fantail of a Navy tugboat offering the encyclopedias for sale, one sailor came up to me and started talking but wasn't making any sense but for some reason I told him I had what be wanted. I somehow knew he was looking for Oahspe. So the next time we met I told him to give me a certain amount of money (the cost of the book Oahspe at that time). Without question or hesitation, he handed me the money. I then reached under the counter and handed him Oahspe and saw him head off to some quiet place to do some serious reading. I never saw him again.

Finally, I would like to point out that apparently one of the Chinese prophets developed the I’Ching and many centuries later, an Oahspe student developed the I’Ching Cards from Oahspe and the I’Ching. These cards, in my opinion, are very good for study and for meditation. I see these cards as one more sign that both the history of our world, and the spiritual ideas promoted by Oahspe, are true. That the spiritual principles of Oahspe can be used in harmony with a spiritual system (I’Ching) thousands of years old, makes me realize that the truths in Oahspe are universal.
