Arya, who helped the righteous to escape the destruction,
was indeed the father of all that is human. Not only did he lead the faithful
to their salvation, but he also ordered the civilization of the new world,
and transferred the ancient knowledge to many areas. He fully knew that
that this would be watered down, but also he knew that its essence would
remain forever, and never die, at the most it would slumber. With him
a period of spiritual and at the same time worldly emperors were seated
in the Mountains Between Both Seas. Arya and his descendants ruled over
an ordered empire. The rulers divided the land; they had come as subjects
and built on the land as free people. The hordes who voluntarily had traveled
with Arya became merchants. The autochthon bloodthirsty wild people were
subjugated and since then became the masses of work people, who were well
taken care of. The hand of the Emperor brought peace, safety and justice.
Up to then the natives were cruel cannibals with characteristics not unlike
the hordes from the earlier world that perished. Arya, the Bird-headed
One, walked and conversed with Per. He married Sün, the Warmgilded One.
She birthed Soerya, the Goldskinned One. Soerya was the first one of his
generation that had a human head. When Arya had reached old age, he reached
for Per and was taken into Him. Soerya then ruled as Lord of the empire
between Both Seas. Soerya civilized the world and he restrained the shocks
that were afflicting the earth. He ordered order in the community of the
Spirits. He puts his will on them, but only after an evil uprising against
him. When the tongues of fire were jumping him, when the suffocating vapors
from the crater of discontent of the people were surging, when the spirits
of this planet were sneering around Soerya with scorn from all angles, then
he stood up with strength and thundering might, his chest expanded by the
force of his lungs, with threatening doom in the chaos; "I tell you:
I created you all, I Soerya, I am your Lord and God, your priest and your
healer, your ordering lord and your justifying lord, your light and your
blood. I, Soerya, am the earth and the sun that shines on her! I, Soerya
am, where you are just becoming monsters. Do you want to wrestle with Me,
your Lord? Must your bony heads be splintered first before you learn to
respect and to honor your rightful master? Dare me! Taunt me! Fire and lightning
will easily scourge you like a bustle of straw. I am warning you with emphasis:
my patience is at an end. From now on there will be order, also in the
Nearby Cosmos. I am the sovereign of
all of you! You will not escape my power, because my scepter also moves
in the Near Cosmos, and there is nothing that is not under my globe. Reflect!
There is still time." The world shriveled. The animals anxiously
sought shelter. Everything human crawled away from the wrath of Soerya,
the Sun God, whose benevolence was known as much as his strict will.
The Spirits deliberated and finally spoke: " If we ply to your will
and let you order us, o Soerya, as everything orders itself to your eye,
will you let us be in our rights and let us serve what carries flesh?"
Soerya answered: "Thus it will be." Then the Spirits subjugated
themselves, and Soerya, the Lord ordered the Nearby Cosmos. Soerya, the
Sun God, the Lord, ordered the All and said: "That all beings take
their place: The Gods each in their Heaven, the
Demons in their great spheres, the
Illuminated spread over the All, the Great-Servant-Friend-Spirits in the
Nearby Cosmos, the Spirits of trees, lakes, woods, clouds and deserts and
all other places each in their living quarters, the animals in their nature,
the plants and vegetation in their humid-breath, man in their work; in short
that all beings take their place!" He took a deep breath, and fragrances
arose, and he spoke: "Thus everybody will fulfill his task to support
the All, for everybody and for himself and everything will be fine as long
as the order will not be disturbed. But as soon as one being claims the
right of being unique - be it a God, a Demon, an Enlightened One, a Great-Servant-Friend-Spirit,
a Spirit, a man or who else - then the balance will be disturbed and disasters
will follow. These disasters will be a call to return to the Order. When
this Call is not understood, the disasters will become bigger and bigger
and more irreparable, and in quicker succession, until also this earth will
perish and splinter." Soerya shouted from his height: "I advise
you: hold yourself to the law and keep to the ordering! I am advising that
especially to the human. How strong is the tendency in you to exploit. Think
about it: the apparent weak might once retaliate; and that the blessing
of Per and of the Gods does not rest solely with
humans but also with other beings in the All with or without a body. Therefore,
man, you must honor the Spirits, abide by the law and the Holy executers
thereof!"
Having ordered the All in this manner, Soerya
connected himself with Tę-Khâmi, daughter of P'gama, the Human. With her
he had a child, Tsj'rami, the Golden Daughter; and after her he had Noer
who ruled after Soerya and who was the forefather of all lords. Soerya
gave mankind, who were now his subordinates, the ability to speak to Per.
He set their language to tones. He taught them the art of building diverging
walls, but also inclining walls, in order for his temples to point heavenwards
and to be many fathoms high, dressed with porphyry and red stone, brilliant
in the sun who was Soerya's disk. He also taught them the art of wet
rice plantation. He taught the priests of this new empire the teaching of
feeding: " Do not kill to eat, for yourself not to be killed for food.
Honor especially the five Gifts: grains for brewing and for bread, olives
for fat and refreshment, the blessed long pepper for piousness and stimulation,
grapes for power of action and comforting slumber." Having said
this, he prepared a meal for the priests. Soerya set the table with bear
and round bread, refreshing and feeding them. He gave them Holy olives,
so they became brisk and nothing was short for them. He gave them contused
peppers and all what was in their bodies awoke. He gave them figs and they
became reflective and strong. He served them wine, and they went into action
- and when the dish was full of their action - they sat together peacefully.
After having given all these gifts, Soerya spoke: " Look: I have
brought forth a son, who, like my father, like me, and like his offspring,
will be named Arya, and who will be your lord, the Lord of the law for this
earth, as I am the Lord of the law for the Nearby Cosmos." Everybody
showed obedience to Noer, who then received the Insignia from his father.
Soerya however put on a hemp habit, turned around and went into the mountains,
where he took the arm of Per and was taken into Him. Noer, who ruled
after Soerya, ordered hereditary succession and justice. For humans he made
the eternal law of the groups of people, who he ordered to life with each
other in an orderly and sensible way, for everybody to live in fulfilled
and satisfying way in his fitting environment. Noticing that his people
were healthy and happy, he said: "My father Soerya gave you place and
well-being and he is still sending his rays over you. He organized your
existence so that the earth might sustain you and so that you may multiply.
This is a good thing because the world needs to be domesticated. But look: "we,
who are already known as the People Between Both Seas, are more numerous
than ever before and this land will not be able to continue to feed us.
Therefore: Go and take more land into possession, in all directions, and
bring it my law and those of my ancestors, so order and fertility may sprout
in those areas." Thus they left, the generals Kroen, Bártoe and
Hall. Kroen made a wagon with swords at the wheels, and ordered the carpenters
of the empire: Thus Kroen the General, in the name of Arya, orders: build
this in great numbers for my man to fight!" Bártoe ordered the blacksmiths: "Forge
me, Bártoe the General, in name of Arya, plates, coats of mail and bracelets
of bronze for all my men to wear for them to fight!" Hall ordered
the archers: "Hall the General, in name of Arya, orders: make me heavy
bows to hold with the foot for my men to fight!" The generals took
possession of vast lands for the empire, south of the Land Between the Two
Seas. They civilized them and after many years they finally returned to
the capital city, where Noer received them as triumphant victors. Being
assured of the tributes which would flow to him from the Land of Both Rivers
each year -as was the new territory called from now on -, the emperor made
offerings to his ancestors and to the Gods, and gave thanks to the good
Spirits. Standing on the white steps of his palace, he spoke: "Listen
to me, O people of Rulers, O freemen, O tradesmen, O subjects: I am your
Emperor and your Lord, Noer, sprouted from Soerya and descendent of Arya,
the Liberator, the Man! I have kept the blood pure. Behold next to me my
Ruler Tsj'rami and my sons from her loins. Truly, the Heavenly have been
with us, and they have blessed this land with rich fields and many slaves
in the south. All this is at our feet, and it will suffice for as long as
it will feed us. I have giving you justice and I have made you fertile.
Per does indeed look upon us with a friendly eye! I now order that the
elements of the Empire be divided. The fighters will form an iron wall against
evil and jealousy. Therefore they will a separate element, always being
led by me, by me who from now on will be called Arya. Thus all rulers after
me will be called Arya. I will be and remain your supreme high priest, leading
the servants of our Gods. The priests also will form their own element.
This will also apply for the judges, the gentleman-farmers, the artists
and the officeholders. I will remain the leader of all these elements, and
, as Arya, being both responsible and immune." Starting with Noer,
Arya became the title of the Emperor, and would remain that way. Many rulers
would be known only by that name Arya, because their own name was not big
enough to be placed next to the one of Arya. Noer, who was great and
unfathomable deep in the depths of his spirit, spoke to Per and with Arya
and with Soerya, and his knowledge grew into the immeasurable. Thus most
of the wise men in the empire and from the subjugated territories stirred
the point of their tongue respectfully when his name was pronounced. Having
aged, Noer retreated into a pavilion in one of his parks, and connected
only with Per, with the elf Sjíoer and with the magician Bran-Lagoewho was
favorable to Arya. Then Noer, the Emperor, wrote the
Book of Spirits, also this was shown to
me. This will also be shown in this volume. Because only a few,
Rudolf, know the Book, and most of them known
it only partially, not surprisingly, because the Book of Spirits was one
of the many taboos of the old World Year.
It has to be opened now, still being guarded, in order for only a Person
Who Understands to penetrate the depth and the meaning of it. But in this
chapter we will put it aside, because there is a time for everything, and
without any preparation one can not rewrite or reread. Noer, having
become old and white of hair, went to Per, leaving his throne to his son
Goedân, who ruled for thirty-three years as the fourth holy Arya. He gave
his priests a rope, saying: "This rope is the string of Pity, in order
for you to be able to converse with Soerya, and with Per who rules over
the All. This ropes also distinguishes you from everybody else, because
you are bearers of the Eternal and you will carry this name through all
eras. This Goedân desires, who is the Arya, don't take more than your measure,
keep your blood clean and carry the insignia on your forehead; carry this
rope and cloth yourself in clean cloths, so that no impurity may touch you.
May impurity not only be far from your spirit, but also from your blood
and body." Goedân, instead of sending his fighters over the whole
world to conquer more territories for the ever increasing population, brought
most clever resourcefulness in the development of providing food. He left
the sword in the scabbard, and he would be the last peace lord (although
later there were some rebellions that needed to be put into submission).
So many rulers after him would be peaceful, but there always were interior
or exterior restless situations that needed a forceful intervention, or
they were wiped away from their throne. During the reign of Goedân strength
and quickness were necessary, but the unsoiled blood of Arya was still holy,
and it was still felt as such and respected. By this the authority of
the emperor was an indisputable fact. The strict modesty and the personal
integrity of Arya guaranteed this. Arya led a life of uninterrupted fulfillment
of his responsibility, filling the empty hours with reflections and fine
arts. Goedân ordered the twelve Tones, each of them connected to a month
and thus arranged in relation to the sun which -in Soerya- was his forefather.
When he, seated in his Pavilion of Happiness, touched the strings of his
zither, the stars became moved, and over his shoulder The Spirits watched
and listened, or they danced quietly around the gleam of the White Emperor,
as Goedân was called because of his snow white hair, his clothing and the
light that was around him. The weaving of the sounds of his zither charmed
the atmosphere and melted with the tones of nature. It drifted on and disappeared
into far distances. Elves and kobolds would stop their reflections and frolics,
and listened with joy how Goedân took the spheres in his hands and let them
glide through his hands like flowers, sometimes like drops of water, and
then again it sounded as if he waves his hand through the mist. Goedân knew
how to make sounds and smells to become one, and many butterfly woke up
during the night and looked for honey in his sweet appearance. Other
animals too stopped what they were doing, and often one could watch contradictory
and hostile (to each other) animals stop their fighting, as they became
charmed by the holy sounds of the zither. The empire of the White Emperor
has been the supreme civilization. It has never been equaled and cannot
be equaled anymore, at least not on this earth sphere. When his body started
to break down Goedân went to Per to be with Him, and let the throne behind
for a new emperor. Goedân was the last immortal Arya. The ones who rule
after him could not take Per's hand anymore; they had to undergo a physical,
bodily death. Goedân was also the last World Emperor, walking in Per's
light, connected to the immortals, being immortal himself; also being the
last of the great legislators, the last All-ruler,
All-teacher, All-father, to whom mankind longed for during the entire past
World Year. Goedân left behind an ideal civilization in which even the
slaves were happy. A civilization in which everybody, with no exceptions,
could enjoy certainty, justice and also spiritual light, light from nature.
As this light quickly faded away, religions arose. During the reign of the
White Emperor there was only Service to the Gods. When this was not enough
anymore, the world perished, first slowly, then quicker, into a grotesque
growing madness. It makes one melancholic to look back on the period
of the four White Emperors -the empire of Arya. What else followed after
this Empire than growing perversion? It was destined that the White Emperor
would be the last world ruler. He would also be the one to whom the Understanding
Person could turn to in order not to loose contact with the High. This was
so notwithstanding that the powers who were derived from one power, the
Emperor, thus far, were now dividing into authorities who believed themselves
to be self competent: government power, religion by priesthood, and so on.
By itself this division may not look bad, but in reality it led to rivalry
between institutions. For example, government led to extortion and religion
to superstition and trickery. Intelligent exploitation of the soil led
to overcropping and exhaustion of the soil. The ordering of civilization
degenerated into a system of brutal exploitation. Happiness in the empire
was gone within a couple of generations. It fell prey to an interior power
struggle, while the Land Between Both Rivers broke away and uncivilized
people endangered the limits of the central empire. During the rule of
emperor Hoetan the great dissolution took place. Hoetan, endangered in his
capital city, left with his faithful people, crossed the mountains of the
north and conquered the land of Fire and Ice, here at last accompanied by
the core of his fighters: the most brave and hardiest ones. He became the
Lord of the Wind and the Mountains, the titanic God of the Blond People.
Hoetan! the violent one, forefather of the Nordic elite, dramatic interpreter
of the primal force of nature, heroism and aristocracy of the soul, still
in the zenith of all what may be called northern royalty. Hoetan; a pale
memory? Is he not reborn in you, Rudolf, and in me? Since we woke up after
the twilight of the Gods, Hod and Baldr, both of us are now seeing and being
mild of radiation, sharing his heroic throne, the present throne of the
Spirit. Later on we will talk about the other stream of Aryan people,
as the people from the Land Between the Two Seas from now on were called,
the other stream that went eastwards. Now we will speak of Hoetan's Empire,
gathered together by his fist from unruly woods and opposing stones. Hoetan,
who called himself Asa, subjugated the autochthones in the realm of Fire
and Ice. He gave them his law and his writing, and the signs of the Sun,
saying that his empire would last till the twilight of the cosmic day. Then
he, like a forest giant, would have been killed by a bronze ax. He allied
with the Vana, The Spirits of the land. Blessed by the White Emperor with
whom he was able to converse, after his bodily death he brought about a
joining of his spirit force and with the highest of his followers at one
side and with the Vana at the other side. Far from being a civilized
country, the Empire of Asa was built on violence and authority, but also
on honesty and a strong contact with nature and with the High. There was
no imperial majesty. This northern Primal Empire was rather one of glory
of power, uncompassionate as fire, but also purifying. Nevertheless the
empire splintered soon: military and tribal leaders made themselves into
independent kings; tribal bands choose lawlessness. This did not diminish
the deep respect Hoetan and his entourage had: for example Goendar, the
Red Thunder Cloud, became patron of the farmers; Oengęr would later be called
the King of the World; Boeran, the Lord of the wood elves - how many are
there? Just as much as we do not want to discuss modern religion, we
will the same with the system of the Ancients: this is not a study in mythology.
I must write what I perceive with my senses and especially with my spirit.
It is irrelevant if this corresponds with what already has been written
because for the truth is not important if it corresponds or not with established
conceptions. For the light it doesn't matter what the conceptions are of
what it illumines. Apparent refutations, distortions, misuse or changing
words does not change anything. If by earthy writing or from earthy mouth
a message had reached me, I would not have written it down: these beings
are too far away from the depth of essence, even if they do their best.
About the clerical who wants to flog us the divine, we better keep quiet.
He who can smell would be seized by stench! Thus we take distance of
all forms of pedantry. It is completely unimportant for the cosmos if a
detail was written down in one way or another. The same is actually true
for what is considered the main points, Are there main points? How much
imagination, how much repressed fears, how much delusion determines what
is a "main point"? Let us limit. O Rudolf, to write down what
has come to us by all penetrating insight, and let others decide what is
useful to them.
[Note of translator: now
follows a section which is an interlude of extreme poetic text about
Jan-Anton van Hoek and his relationship with his spirit brother Rudolf
during the period of western Aryans, that even in Dutch is difficult to
comprehend, and is too difficult to translate. difficult to translate.
So I am skipping this section and go to the next and final one.]
The emigration of the
eastern Arya has been subject, in historic terms, of many essays, which
partly are untrue, because they are supported on historic data, without
any cosmic consistency. Scientific certainty, does not mean something it
is the incontestable truth, and many untouchable things will never be written
down. As the Erian people were sons of one Old World thus there were also
descendants of other old worlds. For example the people of the Yellow Emperor,
the people of the fertile Delta, the sacrificers of Heart and Skin, those
who lived in the Icy Heights, and therefore more impulses of civilizations
on this earth which must have been favorable for many emigrants from elsewhere.
Add these imperious people to the autochthones who are always and everywhere
present, then one sees the rise of ordered civilizations which partly were
in conflict with the Arian people, like in the land of the Indus and Ganges
- but partly also cooperated and joined together. As the empires of Western
Arya declined their religious teachings were destroyed. All this has been
a long time. Although the civilizations disappeared, the spirit remained
all these ages until a new World Year would rise. Then the Spirit of Arya,
Soerya, Noer and Goedân, the White Emperor, the spirit of the Nearby Cosmos
and also of the Somewhat Further Cosmos will start to spark again, when
the false religions will have lost their power and when the false leaders
and deceivers of the masses would throw up like a sulfur spring. The
White Emperor told me that water will be poured by the Four Holy Emperor
Spirits on the heat of the glow in which mankind would be roasted. All around
me I see the word fulfilled of cosmic Sovereign: the chaos; the distortions
in the general spiritual life; the desperate drowning efforts of false religions;
the rebellions, the reign of terror of demagogues and the horde of their
followers. Thus indeed the new World Year starts! With the ill inheritance
of the previous one: the senseless destruction, as if mankind wants to burn
all ships behind him, in order to be able to surrender even more unbridled
to his destruction. Also, the Spirits will take their power again. The
nature spirits too are preparing their revenge without ceasing; revenge
because their destroyed living quarters, revenge without actual hate, revenge
as a cosmic inevitable law. What always used to be deceit will not longer "help": "Repent
before it is too late!" It is already too late. The old World Year
is gone, unused, spoiled, as humans do squander everything. The only remaining
thing is the vague possibility that the next World Year, depending how long
this will last for this earth, will be lived in dignity. For this one must
first read the Book of Spirits, because They are the ones that will determine
the future.
