Long ago, when the world was still young, there was a village located near the great river that flowed through the heart of the land. The village was peaceful, and its people lived in harmony with the earth, the sky, and the waters. They respected Creator, whom they called Jehovih the Great Spirit, and believed that He spoke to each person in their own way. Among the villagers was a young woman named Kachina, whose heart was full of questions. She felt the presence of the Great Spirit in the wind that rustled the leaves, in the songs of the birds, and in the quiet stillness of the night, but she did not yet understand the path He was guiding her towards.

One day, Kachina approached her grandmother, the wise elder of the village. “Grandmother,” she said, “I hear Creator speaking in all things, but I do not understand His message for me. How do I find the path I am meant to walk?” Her grandmother smiled kindly, her eyes full of the wisdom of many seasons. “Kachina,” she said softly, “Creator speaks to each of us in a way we can hear. The path you seek might not the same as mine, because our hearts are different. The Great Spirit calls to us all, but we must listen with our hearts and spirits, not with our eyes or ears alone. The journey is yours to discover and Creator will give you answers.”

Today’s reading from the Oahspe: Book of Inspiration, chapter 11.

The reading from Oahspe puts a lot of emphasis on personal understanding, freedom, and connection with Creator.

The scriptures teach us to have a personal connection with Creator. “Let each person hear Me in the way that is best for their heart to understand.” Each person has their own path which the Great Spirit is leading them, if they are listening. Creator speaks to each individual in a unique way, and it is up to each person to listen with their heart and soul to truly understand their purpose in life. With that in mind, we must have a deep respect for individual spiritual journeys, where no one’s path is forced upon another. This does not mean all paths lead to Jehovih. There are some dangerous paths that lead man into darkness because he worships false gods and lords.

1 Do not go out seeking to spread My teachings or draw others to follow this or that path, says Jehovih.

2 Neither should you attempt to entice others by declaring, “Thus speaks the Great Spirit!”

3 Let each person hear Me in the way that is best for their heart to understand.

4 No one shall follow the steps of another blindly.

5 I do not desire divided groups or tribes set apart in conflict.

6 I will not impose any creed or belief by force.

1 In the beginning, no one saw Me or heard My voice, says Jehovih.

2 Even now, many walk in shadows and deny My presence.

3 I teach you, My child, to honour the gifts of your brothers and sisters, for My helpers work hard to guide you.

4 I show you that no two eyes see My creation in the same way.

5 I caution you: because your ears do not hear My voice, do not judge the one who listens to Me.

6 I nudge you gently, allowing your spirit to walk freely.

Long ago, before the world was as it is now, the people lived among the trees, the rivers, and the mountains, seeing only what their eyes could see and hearing only the songs of the winds and the whispers of the animals. The Great Spirit Jehovih was there, but His presence was hidden, like the shadow of an eagle flying high above the clouds.

The people walked their paths without knowing who placed the stones beneath their feet or the sun above their heads. “The world is as it is,” they would say. “It is nature, it is law, it is instinct.” They did not yet see the hand of the Great Spirit moving through all things.

According to the culture of the Church of Jehovih, the concept of cutthroat rivalry based on small minded egocentrism goes against the fundamental principles of remaining in harmony with the natural world. It is better to focus on the importance of cooperation, balance, and the well-being of the community as a whole.

The Oahspe tells us that everything in the world is connected. This includes humans, nature, and all living beings. The emphasis is placed on maintaining a harmonious relationship with all aspects of creation, as each part contributes to the overall balance and well-being of the whole. Cutthroat rivalry, driven solely by self-interest and without regard for the impact on others or the environment, disrupts this delicate balance. It disregards the understanding that the well-being of the individual is intricately linked to the well-being of the community and the natural world. Instead of fostering sustainable relationships and mutual support, it promotes a mindset of scarcity, greed, and short-term gain.

Today, we gather to share the teachings from the Book of Inspiration, specifically from the thirteenth chapter. These teachings delve into the sacred concepts of accountability, responsibility, and freedom of choice. Through a dialogue between Man and Creator Jehovih, we are reminded of the essence of our existence and the choices we make as individuals.

As we immerse ourselves in this sacred dialogue, let us embrace the wisdom shared by our ancestors. Man begins by acknowledging that his physical body is created by Jehovih, indicating that he has no control over its physical attributes. Man humbly recognizes that he is not accountable for the quality or preservation of his body. Furthermore, Man acknowledges that his thoughts and ideas are influenced by Jehovih, whether through direct inspiration or through the creations of the Great Spirit. Thus, Man concludes that he is not responsible for his thoughts, ideas, or behavior, seeing himself as a mere automaton without personal agency.

However, Creator gently responds to this perspective, reminding Man of the precious gift of liberty granted unto him. This liberty bestowed upon Man makes him responsible for all aspects of his existence, including his thoughts, actions, and the outcomes that befall him. Man is accountable for cultivating his peace, happiness, and overall well-being in both the physical and spiritual realms.
