Seek the fresh air...
of the forest and of the fields...
and there, in the midst of them, shall you find the Angel of Air.
Put off your shoes and your clothing, and suffer [sta toe] the Angel of Air to embrace all your body.
Then breathe long and deeply, that the Angel of Air may be brought within you.
I tell you truly, the Angel of Air shall cast out of your body all uncleannesses, which defiled it without and within. And thus shall all evil-smelling and unclean things rise out of you, as the smoke of fire curls upwards and is lost in the sea of the air.
For I tell you truly, holy is the Angel of Air, who cleanses all that is unclean and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. No man may come before the face of God, whom the Angel of Air lets not pass.
Truly, all must be born again by air and by truth.
For your body breathes the air of the Earthly Mother...
and your spirit breathes the truth of the Heavenly Father.
-
After the Angel of Air...
seek the Angel of Water.
Put off your shoes and your clothing, and suffer the Angel of Water to embrace all your body.
Cast yourselves wholly into his enfolding arms, and as often as you move the air with your breath, move with your body the water also.
I tell you truly, the Angel of Water shall cast out of your body all uncleannesses, which defiled it without and within. And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall flow out of you, even as the uncleannesses of garments washed in water flow away and are lost in the stream of the river.
I tell you truly, holy is the Angel of Water, who cleanses all that is unclean and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. No man may come before the face of God whom the Angel of Water lets not pass.
In very truth, all must be born again of water and of truth.
For your body bathes in the river of earthly life.
And your spirit bathes in the river of life everlasting.
For you receive your blood from our Earthly Mother.
And the truth from our Heavenly Father.
-
Think not that it is sufficient that the Angel of Water embrace you outwards only.
I tell you truly, the uncleanness within is greater by far than the uncleanness without. And he who cleanses himself without, but within remains unclean, is like the tombs that outwards are painted fair, but are within full of all manner of horrible uncleannesses and abominations.
So I tell you truly, suffer the angel of water to baptize you also within, that you may become free from all your past sins, and that within likewise you may become as pure as the river's foam sporting in the sunlight.
-
Seek, therefore, a large trailing gourd [kalebas], having a stalk [steel] the length of a man. Take out its inwards and fill it with water from the river which the sun has warmed. Hang it upon the branch of a tree, and kneel upon the ground before the Angel of Water, and suffer the end of the stalk of the trailing gourd to enter your hinder parts, that the water may flow through all your bowels.
Afterwards rest kneeling on the ground before the Angel of Water, and pray to the Living God that He will forgive you all your past sins, and pray the Angel of Water that he will free your body from every uncleanness and disease.
Then let the water run out from your body, that it may carry away from within it all the unclean and evil-smelling things of Satan. And you shall see with your eyes and smell with your nose all the abominations, and uncleannesses which defiled the temple of your body. Even all the sins which abode in your body, tormenting you with all manner of pains.
-
I tell you truly, baptism with water frees you from all of these.
Renew your baptizing with water on every day of your fast, till the day when you see that the water which flows out of you is as pure as the river's foam.
Then betake your body to the coursing river, and there in the arms of the Angel of Water render thanks to the Living God that He has freed you from your sins.
-
And this holy baptizing by the Angel of Water is rebirth unto the new life.
For your eyes shall henceforth see, and your ears shall hear.
Sin no more, therefore, after your baptism.
That the Angels of Air and of Water may eternally abide in you...
and serve you evermore.
-
And if afterward...
there remain within you aught [nog iets] of your past sins and uncleannesses...
seek the Angel of Sunlight.
Put off your shoes and your clothing, and suffer the Angel of Sunlight to embrace all your body. Then breathe long and deeply, that the Angel of Sunlight may be brought within you. And the Angel of Sunlight shall cast out of your body all evil-smelling and unclean things which defiled it without and within.
And all unclean and evil-smelling things shall rise from you, even as the darkness of night fades before the brightness of the rising sun. For I tell you truly, holy is the Angel of Sunlight, who cleans out all uncleannesses and makes all evil-smelling things of a sweet odor. None may come before the face of God, whom the Angel of Sunlight lets not pass.
Truly, all must be born again of sun and of truth, for your body basks in the sunlight of the Earthly Mother, and your spirit basks [koestert zich] in the sunlight of the truth of the Heavenly Father.
The Angels of Air and of Water and of Sunlight are brethren.
They were given to the Son of Man that they might serve him...
and that he might go always from one to the other.
Holy, likewise, is their embrace. They are indivisible children of the Earthly Mother, so do not you put asunder [scheiden,uiteen halen] those whom Earth and Heaven have made one. Let these three Brother Angels enfold you every day and let them abide with you through all your fasting.
-
For I tell you truly...
the power of devils, all sins and uncleannesses shall depart in haste from that body which is embraced by these three angels. As thieves flee from a deserted house at the coming of the lord of the house, one by the door, one by the window, and the third by the roof, each where he is found, and whither he is able, even so shall flee from your bodies all devils of evil, all past sins, and all uncleannesses and diseases which defiled the temple of your bodies.
When the Earthly Mother's Angels enter into your bodies, in such wise that the lords of the temple repossess it again, then shall all evil smells depart in haste by your breath and by your skin, corrupt waters by your mouth and by your skin, by your hinder and your privy parts.
And all these things, you shall see with your eyes, and smell with your nose, and touch with your hands. And when all sins and uncleannesses are gone from your body, your blood shall become as pure as our Earthly Mother's blood and as the river's foam sporting in the sunlight.
And your breath shall become as pure as the breath of odorous flowers, your flesh as pure as the flesh of fruits reddening upon the leaves of trees, the light of your eye as clear and bright as the brightness of the sun shining upon the blue sky.
And now shall all the angels of the Earthly Mother serve you.
And your breath, your blood, your flesh shall be one...
with the breath, the blood and the flesh of the Earthly Mother...
that your spirit also may become one...
with the spirit of your Heavenly Father.
For truly...
no one can reach the Heavenly Father...
unless through the Earthly Mother.
Even as no newborn babe can understand the teaching of his father till his mother has suckled him, bathed him, nursed him, put him to sleep and nurtured him.
While the child is yet small, his place is with his mother and he must obey his mother. When the child is grown up, his father takes him to work at his side in the field, and the child comes back to his mother only when the hour of dinner and supper is come.
And now his father teaches him, that he may become skilled in the works of his father. And when the father sees that his son understands his teaching and does his work well, he gives him all his possessions, that they may belong to his beloved son, and that his son may continue his father's work.
-
I tell you truly, happy is that son who accepts the counsel of his mother and walks therein.
And a hundred times more happy is that son who accepts and walks also in the counsel of his father, for it was said to you: 'Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days may be long upon this earth.'
But I say to you, Sons of Man: Honor your Earthly Mother and keep all her laws, that your days may be long on this earth, and honor your Heavenly Father that Eternal Life may be yours in the heavens.
For the Heavenly Father is a hundred times greater than all fathers by seed and by blood, and greater is the Earthly Mother than all mothers by the body.
And dearer is the Son of Man in the eyes of his Heavenly Father and of his Earthly Mother than are children in the eyes of their fathers by seed and by blood and of their mothers by the body.
And more wise are the words and laws of your Heavenly Father and of your Earthly Mother than the words and the will of all fathers by seed and by blood, and of all mothers by the body.
And of more worth also is the inheritance of your Heavenly Father and of your Earthly Mother, the everlasting kingdom of earthly and heavenly life, than all the inheritances of your fathers by seed and by blood, and of your mothers by the body.
-
And your true brothers are all those who do the will of your Heavenly Father and of your Earthly Mother, and not your brothers by blood.
I tell you truly, that your true brothers in the will of the Heavenly Father and of the Earthly Mother will love you a thousand times more than your brothers by blood.
For since the days of Cain and Abel, when brothers by blood transgressed the will of God, there is no true brotherhood by blood. And brothers do unto brothers as do strangers.
Therefore, I say to you, love your true brothers in the will of God a thousand times more than your brothers by blood.
