terrestrial linguistic evolution.] so did the Hindus. The Devanagari, the Sanskrit characters,
are the “speech of the Gods,” and Sanskrit is the divine language.
It is argued in defence of the present version of the Mosaic Books that the mode of language
adopted was an “accommodation” to the ignorance of the Jewish people. But the said “mode
of language” drags down the “sacred text” of Esdras and his colleagues to the level of the
most unspiritual and gross phallic religions. This plea confirms the suspicions entertained by
some Christian Mystics and many philosophical critics, that;
(a) Divine Power as an Absolute Unity had never anything more to do with the Biblical
Jehovah and the “Lord God” than with any other Sephiroth or number. The Ain-Suph of the
Kabalah of Moses is as independent of any relation with the created Gods as is
Parabrahman Itself.
(b) The teachings veiled in the Old Testament under allegorical expressions are all copied
from the Magical Texts of Babylonia, by Esdras and others, while the earlier Mosaic Text had
its source in Egypt.
A few instances known to almost all Symbologists of note, and especially to the French
Egyptologists, may help to prove the statement. Furthermore, no ancient Hebrew
Philosopher, Philo no more than the Sadducees, claimed, as do now the ignorant Christians,
that the events in the Bible should be taken literally. Philo says most explicitly:
The verbal statements are fabulous [in the Book of Law]: it is in the allegory
that we shall find the truth.
The Seven Creative Gods- (Page 191) Let us give a few instances, beginning with the
latest narrative, the Hebrew, and thus if possible trace the allegories to their origin.
1. Whence the Creation in six days, the seventh day as day of rest, the seven Elohim, [ In
the first chapter of Genesis the word “God” represents the Elohim - Gods in the plural, not
one God. This is a cunning and dishonest translation. For the whole Kabalah explains
sufficiently that the Alhim (Elohim) are seven: each, creates one of the seven things
enumerated in the first chapter, and these answer allegorically to the seven creations. To
make this clear, count the verses in which it is said “And God saw that it was good,” and you
will find that this is said seven times - in verses 4, 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, and 31. And though the
compilers cunningly represent the creation of man as occurring on the sixth day, yet, having
made man “male and female in the image of God,” the Seven Elohim repeat the sacramental
sentence. “It was good, “ for the seventh time, thus making of man the seventh creation, and
showing the origin of this bit of cosmogony to be in the Hindu creations. The Elohim are, of
course, the seven Egyptian Khnûmû, the “assistant-architects”: the seven Amshaspends of
the Zoroastrians: the Seven Spirits subordinate to Ildabaoth of the Nazareans; the seven
Prajâpati of the Hindus, etc.] and the division of space into heaven and earth, in the first
chapter of Genesis
