I've found more fuel for the fire of our discussion:
It seems to me that this statement indicates a clear difference of philosophy between the confederation and the Oahspe author. I would expect a confederation entity to infact take the exact opposite stance, that we of Earth should proceed in confusion and come to find the truth of matters by our own means. Basically the principals of freewill, which as we know Confederation sources make no small issue of.
I just found this when reading a chapter from the book of Cosmography, I'm not in fact reading the text from start to finish. Maybe you remember running across this in your reading of Oahspe, Quantum? What do you take from this?
As an aside, I'm fascinated with the concepts of prophecy and revelation. I may start a thread on it soon.

It is not the intention, in these revelations, to give new calculations in regard to occurrences on the planets; it is a trifling difference whether a man prophesies by a vortex or by a planet. But where he errs in judging the cause of things, he should be put on the right road. In those cases where he has had no knowledge of the forces and currents of the unseen worlds and their dominion over the seen worlds, only revelation can reach him.
