Djinn Metatheology (38.7)

January 26

Lydia concluded her lessons by saying, “As to the Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I am aware that Gabriel spent some time explaining the Djinn position to Sophie. Alliona was raised with such understanding. So this is sufficient instruction for this moment. Any questions?”

Alliona asked a question, “Lydia, I know the reason for the Great Djinn War for we celebrate it during the Resurrection Holidays. But, why did the Djinn forget about reading the Holy Canon after Gabriel saved our race from extinction?”

Lydia replied, “Honey, that is a question asked many times by our forefathers and foremothers. It was pondered and discussed by our theologians and philosophers for many thousands of years without an adequate answer. One day a young Djinn asked Gabriel this question. The young Djinn later told us that Gabriel had a very good laugh when he was told of the bickering and division this controversy created. Gabriel said, ‘Why didn’t someone ask me earlier. It would have been much more convenient.’

“Gabriel’s explanation was that the Djinn lost contact with the Higher Realms of our Meta-Consciousness after their kesdjan bodies were forcefully separated from their physical bodies just before the original Djinn universe collapsed into a new universe. This separation caused a muddiness in the conjoint Djinn Mind and so no one could read the Holy Canon.

“So our theologians opened a great conference, or ecumenical synod, at which each attendee was assigned the task to transcribe from personal memory the complete Holy Canon onto paper. After one month, all the attendees returned with personal remembrances upon the Holy canon and left them with the Hierophants.

“The Hierophants provided all copies to a committee formed of seventy of the most learned and unbiased theologians. The copies were distributed evenly, some 490 in total, to the committee of seventy. Each committee member was to read his or her copies so to reconstruct the Holy Canon in the most reasonable way. By reasonable is meant, the most common understanding of each verse of the Holy Canon. After the seventy were finished, the seventy abstracted representations were distributed evenly to seven committee members chosen by lot to create seven final compilations of the Holy Canon.

“Following the last task, all of the attendees gathered together to vote upon which chapter recited in the seven final compilations was the best. It was a forced vote as none of the original versions were allowed to enter into the controversy. Needless to say, some argument arose, but eventually, a majority of the attendees approved a final version of the written Holy Canon.

“However, as the Djinn had begun to exhibit signs of egoism and desire to be correct, controversy over the correct wording and meanings of the Holy Canon became evident and much ill-will was present. This controversy, being useful fuel, for causing division of the Djinn. Moreover, this controversy was used to begin the Great Djinn War.

“The Djinn inability to read the Holy Canon in its pristine form was not corrected until the arrival of Ariel who restored the Holy Canon back into the new Djinn conjoint mind. But, this knowledge was not given to the Djinn who serve Heaven nor those who serve Hell ,” finished Lydia.
