The Mishkanava Covenant

FOUR These are the terms of the new covenant as received by Alameda called Monas. The Lord says:

1. There is no other God like unto me.

2. In all that you create, it shall fail: lest it have the spirit of me.

3. My rightful dwelling place is in your soul; my throne is in the Temple of your Heart.

4. You are all kings of your own kingdoms, but I shall ever be your Emperor.

5. Obedience is for slaves; questioning loyalty is reserved for my sons: In them I take delight, and upon them I shall shower my blessings.

6. Remember throughout the days of your life that you are your Father's son, and the daughter of your Mother.

7. Test all your works with the spirit of me within you.

8. I have written my Law upon the heart of every Man and every Woman. Guard that Law with your very life and do not forsake it by seeking to write your own law upon the hearts of your neighbours; for my Law is written in their hearts also; though it may appear to be different in word or style to the letter of your own.

9. Seek not to divide, but Unite.

10. I shall deny you nothing.

11. Method, science and art shall be your service unto me. I am worshipped in your laboratories, in your workshops and your studios. To you I give the Word of creation, with which I fashioned a Universe. Now, you shall create in remembrance of me!

12. I shall teach my sons and daughters all the arts of existence in the quiet sanctuary of silence. It is I who teach the Law, and you shall not preach unto another that which I which I shall write in letters of fire upon your soul: it is for you alone, and not another.

13. Your Science you may commit unto others, but your Art and the doctrine of your heart shall stand forever as our secret covenant. If ever you break the seal of this covenant then shall you be cast upon the midden and forsaken, and the kingdoms shall surely arise to subdue you.

14. You shall build to me an altar of stone and it shall be my dwelling place amongst you. In your home you shall build and dress my sanctuary with delicate art and attention to science for now I dwell amongst you as I did of old.

15. I shall be grandfather to your children and fill their hearts with love and gladness. I shall delight their souls with wild stories and the fancies of an old man's heart.

16. We shall live as one family in joy together, forever; and never again shall I favour one son above another, or smile more brightly upon one child to the disinheritance of my other children: for my youngest son has returned to me, and my heart is filled with joy and laughter.

17. You shall anoint my altar with milk and honey, and burn a sweet incense unto me. No more shall you eat the bitter herbs and your bread shall always be leavened, for now is a time for feasting. The fatted calf shall be slaughtered this day in honour of my wayward Son, who has returned unto the bosom of his Father.

18. This is the Law of Gladness, which I promised your forefathers before you, and it shall stand as the everlasting covenant between us which I shall not break; for this is the Law you cannot break.

19. The will of the Father is the will of the Son, united in the Holy Spirit. The wolf now lies amongst the lambs and guards them with a shepherd's eye. The wolf and the lamb, both are with me, feasting together as brothers. The lion is tasting the straw of the ox and it is more pleasing to him than blood.

20. Behold a New Heaven and a New Earth! My son has delivered Hell as a vassal kingdom loyal to my name! Together we have emptied Sheol, and the fires of Gehenna have been quenched as were those of Tophet.

21. Heaven is raining upon the Earth, and Earth is being raised unto Heaven. The Earth shall be a miraculous place, filled with the portents of Heaven.

22. Heaven and Earth are wed, and I and my Shekinah are one. You shall be our marriage bed and there shall be a feast everyday for our Union. Your house shall be our dwelling place, our Mishkanava, and it shall be the sign of our everlasting covenant. It shall be your new Jerusalem and your gardens shall be called Beulah.

23. Dream no more of destruction, for doom has no name in your circle. The cup of my wrath has been drunk to the dregs and fury has emptied from my veins. My son has returned and justified himself before me--we are vindicated and reconciled, and the days of derision are done. Lucifer has kissed my hand and soothed my grief. He has lifted up the tattered garments which I had torn in grief when he departed from me. Now he has made of them a cloak of shimmering gold to glorify my Name.

24. We are about the work of cleansing. We shall purify the Earth with water, and consecrate it with fire, and it shall be sanctified by the Spirit as an eternal living testament to the glory and mystery of creation. Assist me in my work, O Children of Jacob, and take your place beside me. Make your Father proud, and fill his heart with gladness with the beauty of your works.
