The Lunar Rhythm and the Sabbath According to the Oahspe: Restoring Light to Time
Introduction: When Time Was Sacred Before nations embraced artificial calendars, time breathed with the heavens. Today, the seven-day week spins disconnected from the lunar or solar rhythms, and man wonders why his spirit feels empty despite religious holidays. Oahspe, a book inspired by the Higher Light, returns us to the original perception of time — when the Sabbath followed the phases of the moon, and every moment flowed with sacred presence.
1.The Sabbath in the Time of the I’hins:
Mas Days According to Oahspe, the earliest faith-based people — the I’hins — did not have a fixed seventh day. Their days of rest were “Mas” days, aligned with the four lunar changes. These were not merely rest days, but spiritual shift moments — when the guardian angels (ashars) changed their watch over mortals. The Sabbath was not a command, but cosmic harmony.
2. The Forgotten Light:
How Later Systems Obscured the Rhythm Over time, religions adopted arbitrary calendar systems — weeks that don’t begin with the New Moon, months disconnected from the sky, holidays tied to dogma rather than nature. Oahspe calls this a distortion, explaining that spiritual rhythm became mechanical ritual.
3. The Kosmon Era and Freedom of Sacred Time
In the Kosmon Era, humanity regains freedom, but not chaos. We are told: every moment is sacred because the Everpresent is everywhere. The Sabbath is no longer a law of darkness, but a call to light.
In Oahspe, Faithists of the Seventh Era still honor Holy Days:
✴️ Freedom's Day
✴️ Holy Veil Day
✴️ Kosmon Day
✴️ and a Sacred Day of Rest, as a window into inner peace.
4. The Sabbath as Spiritual Resistance
While the modern world buys, sells, consumes — the true Sabbath stops. It does not buy. It does not sell. It does not serve the market. It serves the spirit. This Sabbath, aligned with the Moon and Heaven, is not mere rest — it is rebellion against artificial systems.
Conclusion:
Time Becomes Alive in the Light
Time without light becomes a burden. But when time is freed and realigned with nature and Spirit, it becomes a mirror of the Creator. Oahspe calls us not to reject sacred time, but to purify it and return it to the heavens.
The Sabbath is not a dead rule. It is an invitation.
An invitation to remember:
There is a rhythm above all systems — and peace beyond every law.
