Revelations of Saint Elijah

The Revelations of Saint Elijah is a holy Bovic scripture and the eleventh and final scroll of the Book of Doctrines.

Revelation of Saint Elijah to Aldin

While praying in the garden of the Basilica of St. Bessie, I was struck down by the blinding presence of two glowing, golden figures who appeared before me. They spoke to me and I wrote down their divine words here:

The Butter Bull, "Thus speaketh Bous! Hear thee the words of my calf, Elijah the Blessed, who shalt now speak to thee. Mark his words."

Elijah, "Aldin, my grandson, I am Elijah, your grandfather. Out of all my grandchildren, you are the one who’ll listen to me. Of course, two of your brothers are already here with me in Dairyland, studying the scriptures to come, enjoying their life. And right now, they won’t listen to me, as they’re playing and studying.

But you are listening, right? Good.

I know that you miss your brothers, but you have an important role to fill right now as pentheros of this church. Just as your brothers here fill a different role. And even Adam performs his role.

Adam was endowed with a wicked heart. I hate it. And I cry every time he does something wickedly and bad. But I know that he brought Arn and Rostam to me. There was a reason for that. You must forgive him for that.

Arn and Rostam came here after they had died. Once they died, they were brought as spirit beings to the place where the souls are imprisoned. This place is an awful place. You know when you wake up one morning and you can’t move? Imagine that, except you have no body to move. That’s what it’s like. All souls go to this place when they have died.

Here, their conscience, deeds and faith are assessed by the spirit of Bous, who knows everything.

If a soul has on Micras lead a life that’s been bad, but forgivable, that soul goes to the land upon which the stars shine, and there, the soul is reborn to an eternal existence, in a body of butter. Life here is good for the people. And they are content. They are at peace. But they cannot grow much.

If a soul has lead a life that’s been good, admirable, and full of good deeds, with good values underpinning their actions, but has not welcomed the holy buttery spirit, either on Micras or in the prison of spirits, then that soul will be reborn in a body of butter in the kingdom upon which the moons shine. There will be happiness, joy, and pleasures. People will be more than content and happy, they will be filled with pleasures of all their sorts. But, they cannot grow as beings, more than exploring all the different ways of pleasures a body can have.

If a soul has accepted its role as a slave to Bous, then that soul will be reborn in a body of butter, in the kingdom upon which the sun shines. Here, all nurture is given the people. They excel in all things, and they learn all there is to know in the universe. They will gain a perfect understanding of everything. They will grow into gods themselves, and as gods, they will take charge of a world far away. As gods, they will produce children, calves, of their own, and these children will be reborn as whatever creature they decide them to be on that planet, under the conditions of that planet, and things will ever be so well. You know that our dairy mother is the Butter Cow, right? And that our dairy father is the Butter Bull? Do you know how we can tell? Because we drink her milk when we’re born, from our own mothers. When you grow up, you will also know it is possible to milk a man or even yourself. But let’s not dwell on that right now.

In any case, Bull and Cow lived on a planet called Earth. I’ve talked to you about Earth before. On Earth there are bovine creatures too, but they are enslaved by the masses. They are considered low (except by a certain people), and are subjugated for their bodily fluids. But out of all souls, among all creatures there, two were found to be the most holy, and they ascended to the kingdom upon which the sun shines. Then, upon learning all the secrets of the universe, they took charge of this planet, Micras, to guide it, guard it, and nurture it, and all its souls."

Butter Bull, "That's enough. I’m gonna stop Elijah there. Lots of important stuff he said there. But you can talk to him more later. Okay, bye!"

Elijah, "Sir, yes, sir! Take care, Aldin. All my love and my blessings to you and the people you will teach."
