Apollo, Son of Jehovih, resident of Pti‘mus,382 in etherea, and God of Suf‘ad and Don‘ga and Tah, in the South Province of Buru, Orian Chief, controller of vortices, said:

I, Apollo, once a mortal, proclaim: First, wisdom, peace and patience to all men, and comprehensive judgment concerning that which I speak. Second, to perceive the reason of things, as to what seems to have been, and of what comes after.

For the Great Spirit is all Harmony and Perfection, abounding383 in time and in worlds to accomplish all possible imaginings; for which reason, be magnified in conception, not judging by the little understanding of mortals.

So that he who asserts harmony to be closer to the order of Jehovih, than that which is ill-formed or out of time, has little reason to prove his assertion before a wise man. As one may assert that ripe fruit is nearer perfection than that which is green, which assertion is self-evident without proof, so, in the understanding of Gods in the management of worlds, are things past and present, not things past and present in fact, but more like the immature and the mature.

Since, then, man perceives that words, at best, are just slow and coarse representations of the soul‘s conception of things, how much further lies a God‘s wisdom beyond the reach of mortal understanding! Remember, O man, that if you could recollect in a moment of time all you had ever learned, you would be wise indeed. If you were in tune with yourself, such would be your wisdom. To advance in such a way that man becomes attuned, first with himself, then with his immediate surroundings, then with the magnitude of worlds, and then with Jehovih, so that he moves, acts and comprehends harmoniously, is to become one with the Father.

Which condition awaits all men, and is called in high heaven, Nirvania, because, to him who has attained it, things of the past and future are like an open book. He can look back to his own beginning in the world, and even beyond, and wherever he directs his eye, he can see and hear as if the matter was happening now.

Marvel not, O man, that the Gods reveal the words and signs of things long since perished corporeally; the proofs they could give, you could not understand, for the basis of spiritual entity does not lie within the measure of the corporeal senses. Nevertheless, Jehovih has given you comparisons; as a portrait of a man shows his looks even after his corporeal body has perished; and yet, the picture is only a representative.384 To the spirit, a corporeal body is only a representative, being a manifested production of a spirit.

As out of corporeal things a new thing is produced and born into the world, so out of Jehovih is born the spirit of man; neither does the corporeal lead the spirit, nor the spirit the corporeal; but Jehovih does all. Do not think, then, that when the corporeal body is dead and molders back to original elements, that similarly the spirit of man will resolve itself back into Jehovih, for spirit is not bound by similar rules. As the corporeal body grows by aggregating to itself, not so grows the spirit of man, but by the opposite, which is giving away.
