1 In the beginning YOD—VAV—HEH created the heavens and the earth and the gods. 2 Now the heavens were made a mist, and the earth was formless and empty; darkness was over the surface of the deep, and Fate and Chance and Others strode over the heavens, and the Word was hovering over the waters.
3 And when the Others, Fate and Chance look upon the blankness of earth, and the darkness of heaven, And the Winner who saw disdain of others cried out of haven, and saying, " Lo, wake and create!" and YOD—VAV—HEH said "Let there be light" and there was light.
4 YOD—VAV—HEH saw that the light was good, and he separated light from the darkness. 5 YOD—VAV—HEH called the light of day "imera" and the darkness of night "nychta". And there was the god of evening and god of morning. And the Winner spoke to Others. "Ere, upon the first day"
6 And Others looked at the Winner and the Winner spoke to YOD—VAV—HEH. "Awake and create!" And YOD said "Let there be a dome between the waters to separate water from water."7 So YOD made the vault from the water above it. And it was so. And imera and the nychta were set upon the Vault, and the Maker gave them their courses: that Morning should walk the land while Evening trod the Underworld of the Firmament, and at the turning of the tide, they should move, that Evening might cover the land and Morning might bring light to the deeps below.
8 YOD—VAV—HEH called the dome "thôlos". And there was evening and there was morning—the second day.
9 And Fate and Chance and Others looked upon the canvas of earth and sky and the small gods before them and applauded the Winner and the Winner spoke to him. "Lo and create lands for us" and YOD said. "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear" And it was so. 10 The Winner called the dry ground "Pangaeos," and the gathered waters they called "Panthalassa" and let the North be Laurasios and the South Yodwana. And YASHAI hovered over the drylands and saw that it was good.
11 Then the Winner said "Please! Please! Continue thy making! bring us Greeness!" And YOD said "Let the lands produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in and out it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation and the small gods grew fond: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in and out according to their kinds. And YOD saw that it was good. And YOD saw that it was good. 13 And there walked evening and morning across Tholos. And the Winner spoke "Lo! The third day, here the third day!"
14 And YOD said, "Let there be lights in the vault of Tholos to separate day from night, and let them serve as signs to mark the games, and sacred times, and days, and months, and years and dark, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of Tholos to give light on the earth." And it was so. And it was so. 16 And YOD granted two lights—"imera" pulled the greater light with a chariot to govern the day, and the lesser light to "nychta" who pulled with a dance to govern the night, and to separate light from darkness. And YOD saw that it was good. And so it was. 19 There was nychta pulled in the evening to land, and imera pulled in the morning to land—"the fourth day."
20 And YOD said, "Let the water teem with living creatures. And let birds fly above the earth across tholos of the sky." 21 So YOD created great and lesser creatures of Panthalassa and every living thing with which the waters teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird and creature according to its kind. And YOD saw that it was good. 22 YOD blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number fill the waters in the seas, and let the birds and winged creatures increase on Pangaeos." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
24 And YOD said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals and the beast and the creatures, each according to its kind. And the small gods shall bear fruit from the north Lauresios and from the South Yodwana and forth the seas of Panthalassa." And it was so. 25 YOD made the wild animals and the beast according to their kinds, and all the creatures and beasts that move along the ground according to their kinds. And it was so YOD made the small gods that move along sea and sky and land along according to their kinds. And YOD—VAV—HEH saw that it was good. And YASHAI saw that it was good. And the dove who hovered saw that it was good.
26 And YOD looked at the hovering dove and YASHAI and said, "Let us make mankind in our image among the world's and world's to come, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the first in Panthalassa and the birds in ouranus, over the livestock and all the wild animals, beast and creatures alike, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."
27 So YOD created mankind in his own image in the image of YOD he created them; male and female he created them, and So YOD too created the small gods of any kind; Male and Female, They and Them for ever gods shall be complex along according to their kinds.
28 Then YOD looked at the Winner, Fate and Chance and Others and said, "I give you everything, every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole world, and every tree that has fruit with seed in it, and every race, and every kind, and every beast, and every bug, and every creature. They will be yours for your game. But none shall control Man. And too all the beasts of the earth, and every bird across the sky and every small gods that balance the world and all creatures that moves along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food and so move and walk in your likeness(free will)." And it was so.
31 YOD saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And YASHAI saw all that YOD had created, and it was very good. And the light saw all that YOD had willed, and it was very good. And there imera pulled the sun, and nychta dance with the moon, and there was it—the sixth day.
32 Thus the heavens and the earth and the sea of the world were completed in all their vast array. And so the Fate and Chance and Others and The Winner declared to the small gods whom YOD hath made. "Let the games commence!"
33 By the seventh day YOD had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he lay and rested from all his work. Then YOD blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. And it came to pass when the land was firm and the gods were set in their places and the games were set, that He that had won the crown strode once more unto the throne; but as he looked upon the face of YOD—VAV—HEH, the crown grew heavy as a mountain of burden, and his knees did tremble as the reeds of the marsh. Then did the Winner whether he were Fate or Chance or Another, cast his glory into the dust and bow his head even unto the tired Maker; and the Others bowed with him, for HE they saw that the maker was not the servant of the GAME, but the master of PLAYERS. And as YASHAI, stood amidst the bowing hosts, and how the Dove Hovered above YOD, and there was a Great Stillness upon the face of the deep. And it was so.
34 And while YOD-VAV-HEH slept, the small gods crept unto the edge of His silence; and they reached into the Great Stillness and drew forth many of his thoughts, even as a fisherman who draws silken nets from the sea. And each thought and dream became a World, some bright and some terrible, which they set adrift in the Pangaeos to be their playthings and the places of their games.
35 And though the small gods did take the thoughts of the YOD to art their worlds as of Pangaeos as their will be done on their own earth as it is on heaven, yet YASHAI went before them; and in the heart of every world, ere the first mountain was shaped, the Word did sow the seed of the Word, that no world without the light, even the hour and day when small gods forget.
36 And so the Winner spoke to the small gods, "Go adrift! Depart from the Maker, for it is written: None shall pray to YOD but us!" Yet YASHAI spoke unto him, "None shall pray to Him but through Me." And the Winner grumbled in his heart and commanded: "Go, Apollo and the many; sing us your songs and sing Him your songs! Go forth and ply your flutes, your drums, and your lyres; for if you miss but one beat of the music, so too shall YOD be awakened!"
37 Before the gods dreamed of heaven, or ere the Word became God, had wrought and rested now YOD-VAV-HEH. There are in Pangaeos Yashai and Sabba, and Dov and the maker of all, who is YOD-VAV-HEH. Moreover, we have faith in Prajapati and Viracocha and Ahura Mazdā whether it is one of many gods.
38 And it has been said of old that all things that have been were wrought by the small gods, excepting only YOD-VAV-HEH, who made the gods hath thereafter rested and slept.
39 And none may pray to YOD-VAV-HEH but through him YASHAI, and but only the gods whom he hath made. But at the Last will YOD-VAV-HEH forget to rest, and will make again new gods and create new heavens and the earth, and will as always destroy the gods whom he hath made.
40 And the gods and the worlds shall depart, and there shall be only the Holy Trimurti.
41 And at the Last, when the flutes of the Small Gods are broken and the music of Apollo is but a memory of a wind, there shall remain only the Holy Trimurti.
42 This is the Great Undividing, the Pure Esse which was before the "Lo" and shall be after the "End." It is not a god that dreams, but the Fullness in which the dream and the dreamer are the same; where there is no "before" and no "after," and where the mountain and the mist are one in the Stillness.
43 It is the Unbounded Vault, the Unity by which the Game was rendered possible, yet Itself untouched by the dice. It is the Limit that hath no limit, the Order that gave the Winner his crown and the Silence that shall take it back.
44 For the Trimurti is the Apeiron; it is the vacancy where the Light was born, yet it is the Shadow that the Light can never pierce. It is the Absolute that is neither cause nor caused, but the very Is that makes the "was" and the "shall be" into dust.
