CHAPTER FIVE: IN THE BEGINNING.
(1) Now, the Children of Yah were moulded by the Hand of Yah which is called Awen, and it manifested according to their desires. For all things which have life are moulded by Awen. The fox, shivering in the cold lands, longs for warmth and so its cubs have warmer coats. The owl, clumsy in the dark, longs to see its prey more clearly and in generations of longing the desire is granted. Awen makes everything what it is, for all things change under its law.
(2) Men, too, are moulded by their desires, but unlike the beasts and birds their yearnings are circumscribed by the laws of fate and destiny and the law of sowing and reaping. These, the desires, modified by the laws, are called Enidvadew. Unlike the beasts and birds, this, in man, is something relating to him rather than to his offspring, though they are not untouched by it.
(3) Destiny may be likened to a man who must travel to a distant city whether or not he wishes to make the journey, the destination being his destiny. He may choose whether to go by way of a river or by way of a plain; whether across mountains or through forests, on foot or horseback, slow or fast, and whatever befalls because of this decision is fate. If a tree falls on him because he chose the forest path, it was fated, for luck is an element of fate. Destiny leaves no choice, fate gives limited choice which may be good or bad, but it cannot be averted. What is fated must be, for at no point can there be any turning back.
(4) The circumstances, Enidvadew, of the traveler conform to the law of sowing and reaping; he may travel in comfort or pain, happily or sorrowfully, with strength or weakness, heavily burdened or lightly burdened, well prepared or ill prepared. When the destination is set according to the degrees of a former life, then the
circumstances of the journey should conform with the desire. For what use is it desiring a great destination when the law of sowing and reaping decrees that an intolerable burden must be carried on the way? Far better to have lesser aspirations. The decrees of fate are many, the decrees of destiny are few.
(5) When the Earth was young and the race of man still as children, there were fertile green pastures in the lands where all is now sand and barren wasteland. In the midst of it was a garden land which lay against the edge of the Earth, eastward and towards the sunrising, and it was called Meruah, meaning The Place of The Garden on the Plain. It lay at the foot of a mountain which was cleft at its rising, and out of it flowed the river of Tardana which watered the plain. From the mountain, on the other side, ran the river Kal which watered the plain through
the land of Kaledan. The river Nara flowed westward and then turned back to flow around the garden land.
(6) It was a fertile place, for out of the ground grew every kind of tree that was good for food and every tree that was pleasant to the sight. Every herb that could be eaten and every herb that flowered was there. The Tree of Life, which was called Glasir, having leaves of gold and copper, was within the Sacred Enclosure. There, too, was the Great Tree of Wisdom bearing the fruits of knowledge granting the choice and ability to know the true from the false. It is the same tree which can be read as men read a book. There also was the Tree of Trespass beneath which grew the Lotus of Rapture, and in the centre was The Place of Power where Yah made His Presence known.
(7) Time passed and The Children of Yah were grown strong and upright under the tempering hammer of Yah, and Earth, The Anvil of Yah, became more kindly. All was pleasant and food plentiful, but life palls in such places, for it is against the nature of man to flourish in these circumstances. Earth is not for pleasurable dallying, it is a place of teaching, trial and testing.
(8) The Children of Yah were not yet the heirs of Yah nor inheritors of godhood, but there was one among them who had almost completed the Pilgrimage of Enidvadew. He had unraveled the tangled skeins of fate and traversed the tumultuous seas of life to the many ports of destiny, and having paid the debts of sowing and reaping was one triumphant over Enidvadew.
(9) He was Fanvar, son of Auma and Atem. He was wise and knew all things, he beheld mysteries and the secret things hidden from the eyes of other men. He saw sunrise and the sunsetting in their splendour, but longed for things not realisable in the place where he lived. So because he walked with Yah he was culled out from his kind and brought to Meruah, The Garden place.
(10) He came to it across the mountains and wastelands, arriving after many days journeying. Weary and close to death because of the privations he suffered, he could just reach the refreshing waters from which he drank deeply, and filled with exhaustion he slept. In his sleep he dreamed and this was the manner of his dreaming: he saw before him a being of indescribable Glory and Majesty, who said, "I Am Yah above all, even above Yah of your people, I Am that which fulfils the aspirations of men and I Am that in which they are fulfilled. You,
having traversed all the Circles of Enidvadew and established your worthiness, are now made my governor on Earth and you shall rule all things here, guiding them in My ways, leading them ever upwards into Glory. This will be your labour and, behold, here is your reward."
(11) A cloud mist seemed to gather about The Glorious Being, enfolding Him so He was no longer visible. Then the mist gradually cleared and the man saw another form emerging. It was that of a woman, but one such as Fanvar had never seen before, beautiful beyond his conception of beauty, with such perfection of form and grace that he was dumbfounded. Yet the vision was not substantial, she was a wraith, an ethereal being.
(12) The man awoke and sought food from the fruits about him and having refreshed himself wandered about the garden. Wherever he went he saw the wraith, but was unafraid because she smiled encouragingly, bringing comfort to his heart. He built himself a shelter and grew strong again, but always, wherever he went, the wraith was not far distant.
(13) One day, near the edge of the garden, he fell asleep in the heat of the day and awoke to find himself surrounded by the Sons of Bothas, not true men but Yoslings, kinsfolk to the beasts of the forest. Before they could take his strength and wisdom he loosed himself among them, slaying some in his rage and might before the rest ran away. When it was done he sat himself down beneath a great tree, for he was wounded and blood gushed out from his side and gathered thickly beside him. He became faint, falling into a deep sleep and while he slept a
wondrous thing happened. The wraith came and lay beside him, taking blood from his wound upon herself so it congealed about her. Thus the Spirit being became clothed with flesh, born of congealing blood, and being sundered from his side she rose a mortal woman.
(14) In his heart Fanvar was not at rest, because of her likeness, but she was gentle, ministering to him with solicitude and, being skilful in the ways of healing, she made him whole. Therefore, when he had grown strong again he made her Queen of The Garden land, and she was so called even by our fathers who named her Gulah, but Fanvar called her Aruah, meaning helpmate. In our tongue she is called The Lady of Lanevid. Now, Yah enlightened Fanvar concerning the woman, saying, "This woman was drawn from her compatible abode in a realm of beauty through the yearning aspirations of men. Her coming accomplishes something which would otherwise have taken countless generations, for Earth is more fitting for men to learn manly things than for women to learn womanly ones. This woman is not as other women, being in no way like yourself; every hair of her head is unlike that of a man, every drop of blood and every particle of flesh is that of a woman and quite unlike that of a man. Her thoughts and desires are different; she is neither coarse nor uncouth, being altogether of another, more refined realm. Her daughters will walk proudly, endowed with every womanly perfection and grace. Delicacy, modesty and charm will be the lovely jewels enhancing their womanliness. Henceforth, man will be truly man and woman will be truly woman, men being girded with manliness and women clothed with womanliness. Yet they shall walk together, hand in hand, towards the ascending Glory before them, each the helpmate and inspiration of the other". So Fanvar and Aruah lived in contentment amid bounty and fruitfulness, with freedom from afflictions and sickness. They delighted in each other and because of their differences were
drawn closer together.
(15) Aruah brought but one thing with her when she crossed the misty frontier, the treasure of Lanevid, the jewel contained in the moon chalice, the stone of inspiration fashioned by the desires of men. Never owned by any but the daughters of Aruah, this, the Lengil, Aruah gave to Fanvar as her dowry and her pledge of purity and exclusiveness. She followed the ways of the cradle land, not the ways of Earth.
(16) Within the Garden land was the Sacred Enclosure, the domain of Fanvar and Aruah, forbidden to those of The Children of Yah who had now come to this place. It contained the Chalice of Fulfilment granting any who drank from it the realisation of all things to which they aspired. None might drink from this save Fanvar and Aruah. Also there was the Cauldron of Immortality containing an essence distilled from the fruits growing in the garden, and this guarded against mortal ills.
(17) Aruah brought forth a son by Fanvar and he was called Rautoki, and a daughter who was called Armena. Each knew the mysteries of magic and the ways of the stars. In the fullness of time Rautoki married among the daughters of the Sons of Yah and had two sons, Enanari and Nenduka. It was Enanari who first taught the weaving of cloth from plants, and Nenduka was a mighty hunter. Armena also married among the Sons of Yah and brought forth a son who was called Belenki and daughters called Ananua and Mameta. Ananua knew the
making of pots and things of clay and Mameta the taming of beasts and birds.
(18) Nenduka had two sons, Namtara and Kainan. Namtara had two sons also, Nenduka and Dadam, before dying in the fulness of manhood. Belenki married Enidva and had a son called Enkidua and a daughter called Estartha,
meaning Maid of the Morning, and she became a great teacher among The Children of Yah. This was the Estartha who became the first Moon maiden, being later called Lady of The Morning Star. Enkidua had a daughter and her name was Maeva.
(19) Outside the Sacred Enclosure, known as Gisar, but forming a gateway into it was a circular structure of stones called Gilgal, and within this was a shrine wherein was kept a sacred vessel called Gwinduiva. This was like a goblet and was made of rainbow-hued crystal set in gold with pearls. Above the cup appeared a shimmering moon-coloured mist like a thin cold flame. At certain times, when the Heavens were in a proper position, the Gwinduiva was filled with moon dew and potions from the cauldron within the Sacred Enclosure, making a pale honey-coloured liquor, and this the people drank from the goblet. However, there were different proportions in the vessel for those of the blood of Fanvar and Aruah and those who were Children of God but not of their blood. It was the potion from the Gwinduiva which kept sickness and disease away from those who drank it. Dadam, the First father, married Leitha and they had a son called Herthew. Dadam then married Maeva who had a daughter, not by him, and this was Gwineva, the cuckoo child fathered by Abrimenid of Gwarthon, son of Namtenigal, whom we call Lewid the Dark father.
(20) About the land of The Children of Yah was the wasteland where Yoslings, called The Children of Zumat, which means They Who Inherit Death, dwelt. Amongst these, Namtenigal, the wily hunter, was the most wise and cunning; he alone was unafraid of The Children of Yah and he alone dared enter the Garden land. In the days when Estartha was teaching, Namtenigal often came to hear her words and The Children of Yah were not displeased, for teaching the wild men about them was a duty with which they had been charged.
(21) Namtenigal, therefore, participated in their rites but could not partake of the elixir from the Gwinduiva, because this was forbidden. While it gave health and strength to The Children of Yah, safeguarding them from the sicknesses of the Yoslings, if given to others it caused a wasting away. It was also altogether forbidden for any of The Children of Yah to mate with the Yoslings, for this was deemed to be the most unforgivable of sins. Now, the wily one learned much from Estartha and in the fulness of time brought his own son to her and he became as her son, living in her house and forsaking the ways of his people. Estartha called him Lewid the Light bringer, for it was her intention that he should be taught the ways of those who walked in light, that he might in time enlighten his own people.
(22) Lewid grew up tall and handsome, he was quick to learn and became wise. He was also a man of the chase, strong and enduring, a hunter of renown. But there were times when the call of his people was strong, then he would go out furtively into the night to indulge in their dark rituals. Thus he became knowledgeable in the ways of the flesh and in the carnal indulgences of the body.
(23) Dadam became a servant of the Sacred Enclosure where the misty veil between the realms could be penetrated, for all those having the blood of Aruah had twin sight, an ability to see wraiths and sithfolk, ansis and spirit beings, all the things of the Other world, not clearly but as through a veil.
(24) Beside the place called Gisar was a pleasant parkland with trees of every kind and a stream, also thickets of flowering bushes and all manner of plants growing lushly. It was the custom of Maeva to wander there in the sunshine and Lewid also went there; so it came about that they met among the trees. Maeva knew the man but had shunned him in the past, now she saw he was handsome, possessed of many attractions, so her foot was stayed and she did not run away.
(25) As the days passed they dallied longer together and Lewid talked of things Maeva had not heard before. She felt a stirring in her blood but did not respond or heed his temptations, because of the things which were forbidden. So Lewid went to the Moon mother, wise woman of the Yoslings, and telling of his desires beseeched her to help him. The Moon mother gave him two apples containing a vile substance which they had drawn through their stalks; this Lewid gave to Maeva who then became helpless in his hands.
(26) They met again after this, for Maeva became enamoured towards Lewid, but it happened that she became ill with a strange sickness and was afraid. Then Dadam became ill and Lewid also, and Lewid said to the woman, "You must obtain the pure essences from within the Sacred Enclosure, and Setina, the Moon mother, will prepare an elixir which will cure us". This he said because none of his kind had ever been able to obtain the Sacred Substances, though they had always coveted what had been denied them. Now, because of her frailty, the woman was pliable in his hands and Lewid seized the opportunity.
(27) To achieve his ends Lewid gave Maeva a potion which had been prepared by the Moon mother and she administered this to Dadam and those with him, by guile and deceit, so that they fell asleep. While they slept Maeva stole from the Sacred Substances and took them to Lewid who gave them to the Moonmother, and she
made a brew.
(28) Part of this was given to Maeva and the rest was drunk by the Yoslings, from their awful ankital during their night rites. When the morning came they were all smitten with grievous pains, and before the sun set that day all the Yoslings were stricken with a sickness such as they had not known before.
(29) Maeva took what had been given to her and finding Dadam laid low in his bed gave him a draught from her vessel, though she had to use womanly wiles to get him to drink it. She drank the remainder and they both slept. But when they awoke in the morning both were suffering pains and this was something they had not known before. Dadam said to the woman, "What have you done, for what has happened to us cannot be unless the things which are forbidden have been done". The woman replied, "Lord, I was tempted and I fell, I have done
that which is forbidden and unforgivable".
(30) Dadam said, "I am bound by duty to do certain things, but first let us go into the Gisar to the place called Bethkelcris, where I will seek enlightenment". So they went there together and stood before the shrine beneath the Tree of Wisdom. There they were filled with an inflowing vision, seeing themselves as they were and as they should have been, and they were ashamed. He because he had not followed the proper path of a man and she because of her falsity. There, in the reflecting mist, the contamination of the woman was revealed, and the man's
heart shrivelled within him like a flower licked by flame.
(31) Then they saw a great Spirit materialising in the reflecting mist and he said to them, "Woe to you and your house, for the greatest of evils has befallen the race of The Children of Yah and it is defiled. The heritage of Kadamhapa is lost. The fetid flow defiling the woman results from the incompatible intermingling, but it is not all, for sicknesses and diseases are also generating from the ferments of the impure implantation". Dadam said, "The fault is with the woman, wherefore should I suffer?" The Spiritbeing replied, "Because you two are now as one the conkerworms of disease and sickness strike both equally, but you shall not again defile this place. Henceforth, the misty veil becomes an impenetrable barrier severing our two realms from each other, so they can no longer be easily spanned. Between us there will now be no means of communication. Henceforth, man and woman, fated to unite in love divine, shall be divided and set apart, though ever yearning reunion. They may cleave one to the other, seeking the unity which will rekindle the flame, but unless their efforts transcend the limitations of earthly things they will be in vain. The spirit of man is now severed from the whole and cast again into unconsciousness, and it too shall long for reunion with the whole. The spark shall seek to return to the fire, for otherwise it becomes nothing. The web of fate is rewoven and the paths of destiny remade, the design of life is redrawn; again the progression begins in ignorance, birth and death, pain and pleasure, joy and sorrow, success and failure, love and hate, peace and war, all the light and shade, the many hues making the splendidly intricate pattern of life on Earth. This is a new beginning but a beginning not in purity and unencumbered, but one already weighted with debts and burdens".
(32) The Spiritbeing continued, "Enough wickedness has been wrought by your wilfulness and disobedience, for the decrees forbidding certain things were for your own benefit. Immortality was nearly within your reach, but had you achieved this you would have brought an even more grievous evil upon yourselves and your inheritors, for freed from servitude to change, you and they would have been unable to progress".
(33) The Children of Yah were driven out of the Garden Land by Spiritbeings, and then guardians were set at its gates so none could re-enter. Then it was withdrawn beyond the misty veil, the waters ceased to flow and the fertility departed, only a wilderness remained. The Children of Yah went to dwell in the land of Amanigel, which is beyond the mountains of Mashur by the sea of Dalemuna.
(34) From this time onward man fashioned his own spirit-likeness. Some, who were loathsome in aspect even unto themselves, went apart and were mercifully veiled in dark depths, and they said among themselves, "Let us dwell here in the darkness and prepare a place for others like ourselves, so that when they follow they abide here and join us". Thus were the Dark Regions formed and inhabited by demons who are nought but the hideously fashioned spirits of evil men.
(35) These things have been written into the record. In Siboit they used to say this was the manner of man's making, "Yah sent His creating Craftsman Spirit down to Earth and the reflection of The One was drawn into a spiritless body, and this became the heart of man".
(36) These are the words written by Thonis of Myra in Ludicia in his day: "You ask me what is man and I answer: He is life becoming aware of itself. He is the intangible knowing the tangible. Spirit in matter, fire in water. When this first happened, none remembers and only the old folktales remain. There was the beginning and then the garden, and it was in this garden man found himself; before this he was not free, being one with everything about him. As he could not disobey, good and evil could not be, they were non-existent".
(37) "Man became free through awareness of himself, and with this knowledge denied any kinship with the beast. As he was no longer in harmonious relationship with things of the Earth, he became discontented, dissatisfied and restless, he wanted to belong but felt his place of belonging was not there. He had been reborn as a man god, and therefore it is truly said that man was born of Earth and Spirit, under a tree, the symbol of life, and in a garden". "There the eyes of the man and woman were opened and, being above the beasts, they knew they were different and set apart from all else that breathed. They separated themselves, being now ashamed of their state and strangers to each other. The carnal satisfaction of lesser creatures now no longer sufficed, they had lost contact
with the Source of Love; but, though knowing something was lacking, knew not what. They had fallen into carnal knowledge which only man can know, for only he feels the reproach of divinity. They were removed from The Garden of Content by an inhalation of the Divine Substance and could not return because of the barrier
between man and non-man".
(38) Kamelik has written: "The entwined were cut apart and since that day have never known content. They wander restlessly ever seeking to unite again and together find the jewel which is lost to Earth forever". Lupisis has written: "This first woman, who came from the void, is the eternally glorified goddess, the inspirer of hearts, the ideal of womanhood honoured by all men, the priestess at the shrines of delicacy and tenderness. She was the ideal woman who, because of man's nature, is always tempted by his twin shade, the beast in his form. If the beast triumphs and she falls, the ideal becomes enshrouded in winding cloths of disillusionment, and something is lost to the heart of a man".
(39) These words are also there: "They did not partake of wisdom, and fruit from the tree of knowledge is bitter. Men are denied their true birthright. The fall of man was a fall from loving contact with Yah into material carnality. The Soul that had shared the consciousness of Yah fell into unconsciousness by becoming ensnared in matter. The fall severed man from the source of his spiritual sustenance; thereafter his efforts were to struggle back. In his blind groping for Yah, after the fall he discovered demons and found it easier to worship them than to continue the search".
(40) "Yah is always waiting, man has only to look up, but it is easier to go down the hill than to climb it. It is easier for man's spiritual beliefs to degenerate than to evolve. Who among men knows the Truth and can write with certain knowledge? Would not this certainty be against the Law? No man was there at the beginning to see and write, but of one thing alone we can be sure. The Creating Yah knows how and why, and could the acts of One so great be without purpose?
Commentary.
The word “moulded” here is the important word. This shows how things are changing. Reading on in this first paragraph we see an account something like evolution. Can this be true? It begins to put a lot of questions to the traditional emphasis of the Bible. I'm sure you've started to see this happening with previous chapters and writings I've done with The Kolbrin. Does it challenge a bit further than you want to go? There's also a reference to Awen. Does this mean Amen or AMaN (my preferred spelling) or “The Amen?” For the sake of making a stand, I'll say its Yahuah (The Father) who: ‘makes everything what it is, for all things change under its Law.’ The Law also doesn't refer to the one by Moshe (Moses) but the Mother or Nature which I have been through before. As He has made it so it is.
As the top creation in Nature, man is subject to different things. These are ‘fate and destiny ‘ as well as ‘sowing and reaping.’ These are modified by ‘Enidvadew.’ What is this? (Although it's obviously something well known I haven't figured it out yet.) Maybe his calling as the top species. The beasts and birds, however, are touched or affected by it.
His destiny is a part of this. Whatever he chooses to do that he must do. The way he does it is important too. The result too is a part of it. Basically, it is all fate. This also is all part of the spirit of things. It's true for our modern times too. Our modern times are fated to receive what we are due. There's no escaping it. As already mentioned, though, we as individuals, have a choice and this can be different from the whole through our relationship with Yahuah. By doing the things we should do rather than the things we shouldn't.
Through Enidvadew, the laws of sowing and reaping determine how we do things. With riches or without. Pleasantly or with pain. As it says in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens..” What burden also will the decision lay on the person and those with him/her? ‘The decrees of fate are many, the decrees of destiny are few.’
Changing the subject, in the early times of this, there was a place called Meruah - The Place of the Garden on the Plain. It is very compelling to say this is the Garden of Eden mentioned first in Genesis 2:8 (“Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden; and there he put the man he had formed”) and they're both in the East. There's four rivers mentioned in Genesis as opposed to three here.
The next paragraph mentions vegetation with trees and plants bearing fruit and everything that was good for eating akin to Day 3 of the creation in Genesis. The Tree of Life and The Great Tree of Wisdom are both in the Sacred Enclosure along with the Tree of Trespass underneath which the Lotus of Rapture can be found. The lotus is a waterlily renowned for its purity amongst the murky waters. In the Enclosure’s centre is ‘The Place of Power where Yah made His Presence known.’ There is no mention of the Enclosure in Genesis. I would suggest the Genesis account has been changed. The devil or Lord God (also known as Yahweh or YHWH) first appears in Genesis 2:4 (“This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, when the Lord God made the earth and the heavens.”). Before this its Elohim that's used. Therefore, after subverting Elohim’s purposes in Genesis 1 he gently brings himself in. Why would he change other teachings? To amplify his own. In the Genesis account we see his fakery. We can see this by reading the Book of Enoch which shows there's a time before this. (Enoch 1.) In Genesis 3 we read about the Fall. Adam & Eve sin and give Earth's dominion over to the devil but wait!! The devil has already fallen. Also, in the Kolbrin, we know there was much sin (doing what we shouldn’t and not what we should) before this. He's completely removed the first destruction from the Destroyer which was due to not doing what we should do. Also, ‘Yah had afflicted the Earth in understanding and not wilfully, for the sake of man and the correction of his ways’ (chapter 4) and ‘it is against the nature of man to flourish in these circumstances. Earth is not for pleasurable dallying, it is a place of teaching, trial and testing.’ In the earlier time, we already know there are different groups of humans. The Yoslings or half-folk have mated with the beasts of the forest. Other matings also occur. More coming on this in the next paragraphs. Glair mentioned here is the Tree of Life. Its spoken of in Norse mythology as gleaming - the most beautiful among gods and men - bearing golden red leaves.
Out of this as the Children of Yah started to grow strong, the teaching becomes more kindly with food abundant, is one who is triumphant over Enidvadew. So Adam becomes Fanvar. There’s no falling away here. Its already happened with the matings. (Quite the opposite when Aruah comes along.) From Chapter 2 previously the only sacrifice needed on this Earth is when man is introduced. (‘Behold, the great day came when the Spirit, which is Yah, was joined with the beast, which is Earth. Then Earth writhed in the labour of travail. Her mountains rocked back and forth and her seas heaved up and down. Earth groaned in her lands and shrieked in her winds. She cried in the rivers and wept in her storms. So man was born, born of upheaval and strife.’) Fanvar was wise knowing many things. Wanted more but it wasn’t there where he was so Yah culled (took him) to Meruah.
He came to Meruah from distant. There he saw in a dream a being of Glory and Majesty. ‘You have been found worthy. Will be governor on Earth leading upwards to Me. This is your reward.’ The Glorious Being disappears in the cloud mist and a woman appears but a wraith, an ethereal being. So she’s a divine being. A woman, yes but from Heaven. The men and women before were of earth and from the different species but now for his task this wraith is brought and becomes woman too after he is wounded by Yoslings and she becomes flesh or mortal too. (After he was wounded by them she lay beside congealing in the blood.) (‘From the realm of Glory. She’s from the aspirations of man accomplishing quickly what would have taken generations. Earth is more fitting for men to learn manly things than for women to learn womanly ones. Not as other women, being in no way like yourself.’) He calls her Aruah meaning helpmate. To work alongside him. This is different from Eve who Yah pulls out of Adams’s side or takes a rib. No fight with Yoslings either. Why’s this being changed? So she’s just another mortal like him. So man becomes supreme. Actually, we see here that she’s a helpmate not a chattel, a piece of property or a sex-slave. She’s divine making her closer to Yah. Does this mean she’s head rather than man? No mention of it here but in the Book of Britain part (of the Kolbrin, written by the Celtics) chapter 2 (Jesus 1) it is written:
‘ “In the year of Britain one thousand one hundred and twenty-seven, there was a great outbreak of fighting and many men sought refuge within the enclosure of Ilyid, for the free Britons had risen, having been given an assurance of victory by no less than the battle goddess herself.
Calling on Amaraith and Kamulose, the Britons followed their battle queen whose heart was a fire because of the rape of her daughters. She stood tall in stature and was serene of face, speaking deep but melodiously. She knew the mastery of letters and spoke three tongues. She had fair hair hanging to her hips when not battle girded. Her head was circled by a golden war coronet and her tunic was of green and brown interwoven in the manner of men. She wore a short cloak of purple. Thus she spoke before the battle: -
"I speak to you as a woman whose house has been violated and her daughters dishonoured. We have been dealt with unjustly and I appeal to you not only as a queen but more so as a woman. Britons who honour their womenfolk cannot regard this lightly. Unlike the squirming Roman Nierotes, I do not rule over servile and docile unmanly men who are less than men, nor like he who rules over pedlars and hucksters. Nor am I like the cowardly man/woman Nero who surrounds himself with perverts and half-men and slaves who satisfy obscene desires. Such is the
nature of the vile culture these foreigners have introduced to our fair land”. "I am not such as these whose minds are fevered with an evil ferment. I rule over true men, little schooled in craftiness and deceit, real men born to fight and withstand adversity. The code they live by is that of manliness. True men indeed who, in the cause of freedom, willingly heed the call to arms and stake their lives on the outcome. They willingly offer themselves as a sacrifice for the future of their womenfolk and children and their lands and property”.
"As the leader of this brave breed of men I fervently plead for the assistance of your strong right arms. Let us not shirk the task or shun the opportunity to strike a blow for freedom. I pray the gods of war, the overseers of battles, for victory. We have the duty to stamp out these infections on our land, these ruthless enemies whose reputation is infamous. They are perverters of justice, promoters of depravity and servants of greed”.
"They are a race who enjoys unmanly pleasures, who delights in the infliction of pain on the helpless but cringes like a dog at the prospect of its own suffering. Whose approbation is more to be feared and its friendship more to be shunned than its enmity. Never will I surrender to people whose ways I abhor, nor will I ever desire to live to see my countrymen treated as servile serfs. May the Great Godly Powers be with us now in the great testing time, as we gird ourselves to face the issue”.
Those brave, inspiring words were of no avail and Britain was lost, but the spirit could not be quenched and manliness was maintained. It is not in victory that a race finds greatness but in defeat. The knowledge of Christ came, not through peace and prosperity but through persecution. That which is written is not a tale of victory, but of the glory that resides in defeat. The books which are the recipe for victory are written by defeated men.’
Would Ilyid (or Joseph of Arimathea) allow a woman to lead if this wasn’t right? Of course its right! She’s a helpmate, working alongside, an equal. But is she or womanhood to be the head over men at all times? From this passage again there’s no sign of it. Will continue looking elsewhere. So Fanvar and Aruah became closer together.
Aruah brought the Treasure of Lanevid when she crossed over. ‘The jewel contained in the moon chalice.’ What is the moon chalice? It had some sort of transformative power to help the desires of mankind become inspirational. This was her pledge of purity and exclusiveness. She’s of the cradle land (Heaven) not the ways of Earth.
There were also two important things within the Sacred Enclosure. These are the Chalice of Fulfilment granting who drunk from the realisation of things aspired too. Secondly, the Cauldron of Immortality with a distilled essence from the fruits of the garden guarding from mortal ills.
Aruah gave a son and a daughter to Fanvar. (There’s no mention of the Cain & Abel characters in this chapter. Referred to in some circles, not The Kolbrin - Cain - as a progeny of the giants. This is possible as there is a faint suggestion of this relating to the Yoslings elsewhere in The Kolbrin. Maybe it was the devil’s plan in Genesis to put this one forward to instil giants relating to fallen angels or more particularly towards aliens from out of Earth for ours the end-times and to paint a story otherwise than the Truth appearing here.) Through the following years different generations were born contributing to the wellbeing of the Children of Yah.
The entrance to the Sacred Enclosure was of a circular structure of stones with a shrine inside and a sacred vessel or goblet called Gwinduiva. This vessel had a liquor with different proportions for Fanvar, Aruah & their children to those of the Children of Yah to protect from sickness and disease. The mention of a ‘cuckoo child ‘ probably means set out of its proper place.
Eventually one who was unafraid of the Children of Yah arose. Namtenigal appeared in the time when Estartha was teaching. He'd come to the teachings but his aim was otherwise - to gain access to the elixir within the Sacred Enclosure.
From the history, we see things started to happen in the generation after him. Dadan & Leitha are from the Children of Yah. Namtenigal is a Yosling (or wild one) and possibly also is Maeva but more likely Abrimenid is. The offspring is the cuckoo child (born out of the right place?) called Gwineva by her but Lewid (the Dark father) by him. Namtenigal was attending Estartha teachings, gaining wisdom and subsequently moved to bring his son who became one with her. This was alright because it stopped short of the Children mating with Yoslings, a terrible sin. So Lewid, in effect, brought the Light to her (Maeva). She intended him to return to his people to enlighten them but he would also go back to indulge in the dark rituals they did, the ways of the flesh and their carnal indulgences. For a passing moment, at the least, there’s similarities with Cain & Abel in Genesis. Cain’s sacrifice wasn’t accepted because his ways were evil. Whereas Abel, like the Children of Yah here were trying to do good if a bit misguided.
Dadam was servant of the Sacred Enclosure at this time. Him and the Children were able to see as through a veil into the other or spirit world. While these two worlds were progressing, Maeva & Lewid were becoming closer. At some point she became enamoured because of his good looks. He then asked the Moon mother to put a vile substance into two apples which she ate of becoming helpless. She too then became ill as did, in turn, Dadam and Lewid. Seizing his chance, Lewid said, "You must obtain the pure essences from within the Sacred Enclosure, and Setina, the Moon mother, will prepare an elixir which will cure us.” However, once Dadam and those with him also drank of what the Moon mother had made, given to him by Maeva they fell asleep. So, in effect, Maeva was seduced and succumbed to help Lewid. While they slept, Maeva stole from the Sacred Enclosure, gave to the Moon mother and the Yoslings also drank of it. All became ill, stricken with pains not known before. Dadam asked, "What have you done, for what has happened to us cannot be unless the things which are forbidden have been done”. The woman replied, "Lord, I was tempted and I fell, I have done that which is forbidden and unforgivable”.
So they went into the Sacred Enclosure to seek enlightenment. To the place within called Bethkelcris. There, through a vision, they saw what they had done and should have done. This is like previous chapters. Doing the things we should not do and not doing the things we should do. We reap what we have sown. An everlasting seeking and striving for our identity takes place. The Earth nurtures and tries us hard. It’s not a place of too much relaxation and leisure. So judgment comes. Yet, too much chastisement is as bad as none. Man needs to understand it wasn't done wilfully but for the sake of man and the correction of his ways. This is where our problems (spiritually, physically & emotionally) come from. Bringing dis-ease. (What we call disease.) However, again, do we want to take this and the differences from the book of Genesis or continue going our own way?
A Spirit Being materialised in the mist and said: “You have been defiled. The heritage of Kadamhapa is lost. (Dadam has a go at the woman at this point.) Because you have become one the cankerworms of disease and sickness come equally on you. This place ( the Garden & Enclosure) will be shut to you. Our communication will be shut off. You will be fated (man and woman) to unite in love divine, divided and set apart, ever yearning for reunion, cleaving to one another and seeking the unity to rekindle the flame. Even so, unless your efforts transcend the limitations of earthly things they will be in vain. The spirit of man is now severed from the whole. You'll seek the spark to return to the fire or be nothing. The path of destiny is remade. From the many hues making the splendidly intricate pattern of life on Earth a new beginning will be made but a beginning not in purity and unencumbered, but one weighted with debts and burdens. Wilfulness and disobedience has wrought wickedness. (I, Yah knew this all along.) Therefore, the decrees forbidding certain things were for your own benefit.” Looking at our lives now through the same lens are we wise enough? Are we succeeding in finding our way back?
Having been driven out of the Garden, the Children settled in Amanigel beyond the mountains of Mashur by the sea of Dalemuna. Presumably or possibly the Yoslings have died out through their sicknesses and/or dis-ease. The descendants of the Children of Yah, however, make their own spirit-likeness. "Let us dwell here in the darkness and prepare a place for others like ourselves, so that when they follow they abide here and join us.” Sounds like an early stage of what happened at the Plain of Shinar in Genesis 10 & 11. (Chapter 11 verse 2:) “As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.” So the hideously fashioned spirits of evil men are the demons of now congregating in dark places. Also, however, Enoch came from around this time. From him came Methuselah, Lamech and then Noah. The two camps have formed running forward even to our own days. What will become of them? We start to pick out the details in subsequent chapters.
What have we learnt so far? The Craftsman Spirit came down and settled in a spiritless body which became the heart of man. (Thonis of Myra in Ludicia states:) “What is man? Man became Life (Earth, the Mother of Creation) aware of itself/himself. The intangible knowing the tangible. Spirit in matter, fire in water. When this happened none remember. Only the folktales remain. First was the beginning and then the Garden. In the Garden he found himself. Before he wasn't free being one with everything about him. To disobey was impossible as there was no good and evil.
“He was free. With this knowledge he was no longer one with the beast (the Earth) or in harmonious relationship. So he became discontented and restless. He'd found a new identity. A man-god as it were born of Earth and Spirit associated as coming forth under a tree, the symbol of life, and in a garden. (Fanvar & Aruah.) The two realised they were above, different and set apart. There eyes were opened! They knew they were not of the beasts, were different and set apart but now of the carnal nature of lesser creatures who had lost contact with the Source of Love. So man knew the reproach of divinity which only he could know.” There's shades of Genesis chapter 3 (The Fall) in this. Obviously the same but with a lot of the details taken out to present a different picture. In my opinion, sin never gave world to the devil but he's always wanted it for himself. (John 8:44:) “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Kamelik also wrote: “The entwined were cut and not known contentment since. Wandering around, seeking to unite to find the jewel lost to Earth forever.” Lupisis: “The first woman, eternally glorified goddess, the inspirer, ideal one and priestess always tempted by the beast in man. If she falls the ideal is lost and something is taken from the heart of (a) man.”
“They didn't partake of wisdom. The Tree of Knowledge is always bitter. There true birthright is denied. Three areas susceptible to carnality (family, property & job/wealth) ensnare him and separated loving contact with Yah. The source of his spiritual sustenance was cut so he tries to struggle back. He discovered demons which were easier to worship than continue the search. It's easier to go down the hill than climb it. It's easier to degenerate than evolve. Who among man knows the Truth sufficiently to write with certainty? The Creating Yah has a purpose in everything and is always waiting for us to return.” Is this true or is it being made up? In the Spirit, at least , it's definitely true. Finding our path in all this is important.
