Synopsis

This modern language Oahspe replaces the archaic English language used in older editions. It comprises a 2 volume set of 39 interior books. Volume 1 contains the first 27 books and Volume 2 contains the remainder. Look for OAHSPE Modern Language Edition, Volume 2 of 2 on Amazon.com. A unique book with a message to all humanity, Oahspe reveals the spiritual realms of heaven and beyond. It includes a cosmology which proclaims a living creation maintained by an everpresent Creator whose person and form manifests as the Spiritual and Corporeal Universe. Besides revealing a spiritually-based explanation of physical science, Oahspe contains heavenly revelations in chronologically-ordered accounts that describe human origin and development from 72,000 years ago. Humanity's progress is seen in the context of cyclical events associated with the orbital travels of the earth and solar system. Each traversed region imparts varying conditions of light to the Earth. And this, in turn, engenders spiritual and physical consequences for Earth and its inhabitants, a result of which is the rise and fall of civilizations. Oahspe tells of many long forgotten prehistoric civilizations, including the "pre-flood" inhabitants of a submerged continent. Oahspe also explains how such celestial conditions can be known beforehand using methods of prophecy including signs of the times, tables used since ancient times, and methods of developing prophetic senses. Oahspe also provides missing details of ancient historical records regarding the origins of earth's major religions. Among them are life stories and teachings of the great prophets and law-givers from the various divisions of the earth, such as Zarathustra of Persia, Brahma, Capilya and Sakaya of India, Abraham and Moses of Egypt, Joshu of Nazareth, Eawahtah of the Americas, and Po, Chine and Confucius of China. Their teachings and doctrines are presented with lessons for a contemporary perspective on a new age that lights the way to Peace and Harmony through spiritual progress. According to Oahspe, all humanity has the responsibility to assist in its own development; and to that end, Oahspe provides ample guidelines for ethical conduct in our day. The book also previews the future, with prophecies and guideposts for the eventual establishment of the Creator's "kingdom on earth" for all humanity. Oahspe, first published in 1882, is heaven's gift for our times, and is now available in paperback for the first time in modern language.

About this title

About the Author

The authorship of Oahspe was not specifically credited in the first published edition of Oahspe in 1882. Shortly afterward, Dr. John Ballou Newbrough revealed that Oahspe was a channeled work that came through him. Through subsequent editions and printings, the precedent of not explicitly crediting a mortal author remained. A stated reason came with the 1882 preface that a book should be judged by the merit of its content and not upon a supposed authority. In this Oahspe Modern Language Edition, the tradition continues. Since publishing protocols require a listed author, the translators of the present edition are named as author. The Seventh Era Faithists spent over 12 years translating Oahspe from its archaic words and phasing into more modern American English. The medium John Ballou Newbrough, in his own words published in The Banner of Light, 1883, described the transcription of Oahspe into mortal words: "Briefly, then, Oahspe was mechanically written through my hands by some other intelligence than my own. Many spiritualists are acquainted with this automatic movement of the hands, independent of one's volition....a new condition of control came upon my hands; instead of the angels holding my hands as formerly, they held their hands over my head (and they were clothed with sufficient materiality for me to see them) and a light fell upon my hands as they lay on the table. In the meantime I had attained to hear audible angel voices near me. I was directed to get a typewriter, which writes by keys, like a piano. This I did, and I applied myself industriously to learn it, but with only indifferent success....one morning the light struck both my hands on the back, and they went for the typewriter, for some fifteen minutes, very vigorously. I was told not to read what was printed, and I had worked myself into such a religious fear of losing this new power that I obeyed reverently. The next morning, also before sunrise, the same power came and wrote (or printed rather) again. Again I laid the matter away very religiously, saying little about it to anybody. One morning I accidentally (seemed accidental to me) looked out of the window and beheld the line of light that rested on my hands extending heavenward like a telegraph wire towards the sky. Over my head were three pairs of hands, fully materialised; behind me stood another angel, with her hands on my shoulders. My looking did not disturb the scene; my hands kept right on, printing . . . printing."
