I was reading Oahspe again today (slowly working my way through it). I came across a passage that sounds a lot light the "steps of light" that Ra mentions we go through upon Harvest.
About 20% of the way through the book, in chapter 25 the main god of our universe (Fragapatti) comes down to Ipseogee (part of Earth?) to pick up the local god (Hapacha) who has faithfully watched over some mortal types (fallen angels) who have progressed enough to return to the next higher Heaven, Haraiti (there were 60 million from Ipseogee and 10 million from another place, the Zeredho'ans).
These all get put into Fragapatti's "Avalanza" which seems to be some sort of starship, or a ship that can move between the heavens.
Once they get to Haraiti, the god of Haraiti, one Athrava orders that:
(20/25.10): "... And lights shall be lowered at the landing place, to make it acceptable to those newly raised, who are aboard."
(20/25.11): "Athrava said: As for Mouru [a city], within the walls of light it shall be rated seven; but when Fragapatti has ascended the throne, it shall be raised to nine. And in those days, nine, in Haraiti, was fifty percent of the capacity of endurance in the plateau."
(20/25.13): "Ahtrava said: There shall be flights of stairs leading over the walls of Mouru, and they shall be white and illumined on that day, which will be sufficient for dividing the people according to the light suited to them."
