The work presents itself as a complete cosmological and spiritual history, structured as a collection of named books attributed to celestial figures \u2014 sons and daughters of the supreme deity Jehovih \u2014 who governed successive cosmic \"cycles\" spanning human prehistory through the 19th century. Its central argument is that mainstream world religions (the Bible, the Vedas, Zoroastrianism, Egyptian religion) are all partial or corrupted derivatives of a single primordial monotheism called Faithism, whose adherents (\"I'hins\") preserved the true worship of Jehovih across millennia. A distinctive and unusual feature is the *Book of Saphah*, which presents comparative linguistic tablets claiming to reconstruct the sacred root languages underlying ancient Egyptian, Algonquin, Vedic, and other traditions as evidence of a shared divine origin. The work concludes with practical books on establishing Jehovih's kingdom on Earth, including an account of Shalam, an actual communal society Newbrough founded in New Mexico. It sits within the tradition of 19th-century American revealed scriptures (alongside the Book of Mormon and The Urantia Book) but is distinctive for its encyclopedic scope, its explicit synthesis of world religious history, and its claim to supersede all prior scriptures.","title":"A LIST OF THE NAMES OF THE BOOKS IN OAHSPE.","word_count":589},{"api_url":"https://unchartedknowledge.5gfusion.net/v2/api/page/sacred_texts_v1_oah_addendum_htm","collection":"Oahspe","id":"sacred_texts_v1_oah_addendum_htm","source":"sacred_texts_v1","summary":"This is an editorial preface to a photographic reprint of the 1882 first edition of *Oahspe*, a 19th-century American spiritualist scripture produced through automatic writing. It recounts how John Ballou Newbrough, a New York dentist with a serious interest in spiritualism, received a nighttime visitation from angels in 1870 instructing him to spend ten years purifying himself through vegetarianism and charitable work; at the end of that period, the same spirits directed him to place his hands on a typewriter each morning before dawn and allow them to type through him, resulting in the complete manuscript of *Oahspe* by December 1881. The text emphasizes that Newbrough was demonstrably incapable of competent typing, yet the manuscript pages are described as perfectly typed \u2014 a fact the preface treats as evidence of genuine supernatural authorship. The preface's central argument is textual: it contends that the 1891 revised edition of *Oahspe* differs meaningfully from the 1882 original, with sections enlarged, added, or omitted, and that the original manuscript was conveniently destroyed in a flood after revision, raising suspicions about tampering. The publisher presents this reprint as a preservation effort and implicitly a defense of *Oahspe*'s authenticity, arguing that restoring access to the first edition prevents the book from being dismissed as \"expurgated and perverted.\" A notably partisan claim runs throughout: the preface suggests that forces hostile to *Oahspe* \u2014 even attributing possible sabotage to malevolent spirits called \"drujas\" \u2014 worked to obscure the original text, framing the reprint as a form of spiritual as well as scholarly rescue.","title":"Addendum","word_count":2253},{"api_url":"https://unchartedknowledge.5gfusion.net/v2/api/page/sacred_texts_v1_oah_praise_htm","collection":"Oahspe","id":"sacred_texts_v1_oah_praise_htm","source":"sacred_texts_v1","summary":"1.

The passage depicts a gathering convened by a figure named Tae, who calls for volunteers to help found \"the Father's kingdom on earth,\" and dramatizes the many inadequate responses that follow. Proposers offer schemes ranging from harmonizing capital and labor, to eugenic selective breeding, to special reverence for pregnant women, to professional self-promotion by physicians, lawyers, and piano teachers \u2014 while priests of Brahma, Buddha, and \"Kriste\" each insist the kingdom depends on their own deity's imminent apocalyptic return. Tae systematically dismisses all comers: those whose faith rests in money, those who want to be leaders or lecturers, and those who await supernatural spectacles with \"angels with wings and fleecy tails a mile in length.\" The text's distinctive argument is that genuine religious community-building is not doctrinal, ideological, or self-aggrandizing, but purely practical \u2014 specifically, the unglamorous work of raising orphaned children without pay or recognition. Out of thousands, only fifty people willing to do this humble labor are accepted, while the rest depart mocking.","title":"Book Of Jehovih's Kingdon On Earth: Chapter III","word_count":2118},{"api_url":"https://unchartedknowledge.5gfusion.net/v2/api/page/sacred_texts_v1_oah_oah_oah622_htm","collection":"Oahspe","id":"sacred_texts_v1_oah_oah_oah622_htm","source":"sacred_texts_v1","summary":"This is a scriptural passage from *Oahspe* (1882), a 19th-century American channeled religious text presented as divine revelation, written in the style of biblical narrative. It describes the founding of a communal settlement called Shalam, where a leader named Tae gathers followers to leave \"Uz\" \u2014 their term for corrupt mainstream society \u2014 and establish a spiritually grounded intentional community devoted to raising abandoned children. The passage's central argument is that mainstream religious profession is hypocritical: people pray for God's kingdom on earth while doing nothing to build it, profess commandments like loving one's neighbor while actually serving only themselves. The founding ritual involves the community collectively covenanting with \"Jehovih\" (Oahspe's name for God) to dedicate their labor to raising orphans and modeling righteousness, sealed by a ceremonial procession marking a sacred circle. Distinctively, the text frames the abandonment of conventional society not as withdrawal but as the only honest path for people who claim to follow divine commandments \u2014 staying in Uz made genuine practice impossible. The passage reflects Oahspe's broader syncretism, blending Christian ethical language with an elaborate angelology and an explicit critique of institutional religion's gap between profession and practice.","title":"Book Of Jehovih's Kingdon On Earth: Chapter IV","word_count":911},{"api_url":"https://unchartedknowledge.5gfusion.net/v2/api/page/sacred_texts_v1_oah_oah_oah627_htm","collection":"Oahspe","id":"sacred_texts_v1_oah_oah_oah627_htm","source":"sacred_texts_v1","summary":"This is a passage from Oahspe (1882), an American religious text that presents itself as divine scripture, specifically a set of educational precepts for Shalam, a utopian community the text's followers sought to establish. The central argument is that conventional (\"Uzian\") book-based education is deficient because it produces intellectually trained but practically helpless youth; true education must integrate hands-on labor across all trades \u2014 gardening, factory work, astronomy, chemistry \u2014 with direct spiritual instruction. Children are to learn by doing from an early age, cycling through all occupations rather than specializing, and the text promises that Shalam's children will surpass their conventionally schooled peers by age fourteen. A distinctive claim is that moral restraint cannot be achieved through philosophy alone but only through belief in an ever-watchful God (\"Jehovih\"), making theology indispensable to education. The text goes further than most religious pedagogy by asserting that children should be trained to perceive angels directly \u2014 to see and hear spiritual beings with senses beyond the physical \u2014 and that some will achieve \"adeptism,\" a form of advanced mediumistic or clairvoyant ability. The overall vision is a community where spiritual and material cultivation are inseparable, and where angelic contact is treated as a normal, cultivable educational outcome rather than a miraculous exception.","title":"Book Of Jehovih's Kingdon On Earth: Chapter IX","word_count":715}],"sort":"title","tag":null,"total":794}
