Extract from an ignorant mind, on the following questions: 1st. In speaking of the earth, does the sacred history allude only to our earth? [&c. Ascr. to-Portier.].

every degree in humanity, wherein is the

spirit of the philosophical life.

Genesis, 7. 16. And they that went in, went in having either the knowledge of good, or the knowledge

of evil, as God had commanded the soul Noah, and the Lord confined her within the spirit of the religious system. 17. And the overflowing scourge was during forty luminous knowledges upon the human mind; and the instructions increased, and bare up the pious system, and it was lift up above the notions of the human philosophy.

18. And the instructions prevailed, and were

increased greatly upon the human mind: and the righteous system went upon, or was supported by, the spirit of the instructions.

19. And the instructions prevailed exceedingly upon the human system; and all the high philosophical knowledges that were inferior to the spiritual, were overpowered in the human mind.

20. Far above the human system did the instructions prevail; and the highest human knowledges were by them overflown (in the soul).

21. And the knowledge of every human mind died that moved in the opinion of oneself,

both of every inferior and of every superior philosophical mind.

22. All in whom was the spirit of the human life, of all mind that was in the dry sys

tem, died.

Genesis, 7. 23. And every living spirit was destroyed which was in the human system, both superior and inferior; and their knowledges were destroyed from the human philosophy : and the knowledge of Noah's soul only remained alive, and the knowledge of the spirits or of the souls that were with her in the religious system.

24. And the overwhelming knowledges prevailed upon the human mind during one hundred and fifty luminous instructions.

1. And God remembered Noah's soul, and every living spirit, and all the tame spirits that were with her knowledge in the religious system and God made a healing spirit or knowledge to pass over the human mind, and the overpowering knowledges assuaged in it.

2. The sources of the knowledges of the deep system, and the knowledges that are the channels of the spiritual lights were stopped, and the moral instruction was restrained.

3. And the opinions (that had overflown the minds of all those that were out of the religious system) returned from off the human heart continually and after the end of the hundred and fifty lights the destroying knowledges were abated (in the minds). 4. And Noah's pious system rested upon the high philosophical spirits or knowledges in the degree Ararat.

5. And the overpowering opinions decreased con

tinually (in the human mind): and the

highest degrees of the high philosophical

knowledges began to be seen or perceived.

Genesis, 8. 6. And it came to pass at the end of forty spiritual instructions that Noah opened the knowledge through which light came to the righteous system which he had made (within his soul).

7. And he sent forth a spirit, or knowledge, or

opinion, in the degree raven, which went forth to and fro the human mind, (alternately received and rejected; or received by some, and rejected by others,) until the opinions, which had destroyed all former knowledge, were gone away from the heart.

8. Also he sent forth (among men) a spirit dove from his own knowledge: to see or to judge if the overflowing opinions were abated from off the human mind.

9. But the spirit of prudence and simplicity found no mind where even her lowest notions could be received and could rest, and she returned unto his soul in the religious system; for the overwhelming knowledges were still upon the whole of the human mind: then he put forth his knowledge, and took her, and pulled her unto him

in the pious system.

10. And He stayed yet other seven superior instructions: and again He sent forth the spirit of simplicity out of the religious system.

11. And the spirit dove came in to Him towards

the end of the moral light, and lo, in

her words was a knowledge or an indica

tion of peace:

so Noah knew that the

destroying opinions were abated from off

the human mind.

Genesis, 8. 12. And he stayed yet other seven luminous instructions; and sent forth the spirit dove;

which returned not again unto his knowledge any more, (having met with people that could and would receive its instructions).

13. And it came to pass when Noah's soul was in the six hundred and first philosophical year, the overturning opinions were dried up from off the human mind: and Noah removed the knowledge which completed and secured the religious system, and looked, and, behold, the human mind was without knowledge.

14. And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth knowledge of that philo

sophical month, was the human mind free from all opinions.

15. And God within Noah's soul spake unto him,

saying,

16. Go forth of the religious system, thou, and thy wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee.

17. Bring forth with thee every living spirit or knowledge that is with thy soul, or every living being that is with thy knowledge, of all degrees in humanity: that they may sow their knowledge abundantly into the human heart and bear fruit in it, and multiply in the human philosophy.

Genesis, 8. 18. And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives, with his know

ledge.

19. Every inferior creature in philosophy, after their kinds, went forth out of the religious

system.

20. And the soul Noah builded within herself a religious spirit or knowledge for an altar unto the Lord; and took of the knowledges and qualities of every inferior, but pure, spirit, in the degrees beast and fowl, and made offerings of them in the Spirit of the altar.

21. And the Lord was pleased with that humble

and sincere homage; and the Lord said in His heart, or in the heart that was devoted to Him, I will not again give wrong information to the human mind any more for the sake of the soul; for the imagination of man's mind is evil from his first degrees in philosophy: neither will I again smite any more every living spirit, in the way that I have done.

22. While the human system remaineth (in man), successive instructions of various kinds

and useful to him shall not cease.

1. And God gave good, holy words to Noah's soul and to those that were her sons, begotten by Him in the human system; and said unto them, bear fruits of righteousness, and multiply in knowledge and replenish the human mind with good in

structions.

2. And the fear of your knowledge and the
