The relevant portions in OL MS are in two separate places (032-033, 097-103), but connected by the consistent theme of Aewa. Please compare:[description of Atlantis, the Plato Laws 3rd book 10,000 year cycle that finished in 1 AD]
[Timaeus answers:] why the creator made this world of generation. He was good, and the good can never have any jealousy of anything. And being free from jealousy, he desired that all things should be as like himself as they could be. This is in the truest sense the origin of creation and of the world, as we shall do well in believing on the testimony of wise men: God desired that all things should be good and nothing bad, so far as this was attainable.
[...] In the likeness of what animal did the Creator make the world? It would be an unworthy thing to liken it to any nature which exists as a part only; for nothing can be beautiful which is like any imperfect thing; but let us suppose the world to be the very image of that whole of which all other animals both individually and in their tribes are portions. For the original of the universe contains in itself all intelligible beings, just as this world comprehends us and all other visible creatures.
[...] Such was the whole plan of the eternal God about the god that was to be, to whom for this reason he gave a body, smooth and even, having a surface in every direction equidistant from the centre, a body entire and perfect, and formed out of perfect bodies. And in the centre he put the soul, which he diffused throughout the body, making it also to be the exterior environment of it; and he made the universe a circle moving in a circle, one and solitary, yet by reason of its excellence able to converse with itself, and needing no other friendship or acquaintance. Having these purposes in view he created the world a blessed god.
[...]They are all parts of time, and the past and future are created species of time, which we unconsciously but wrongly transfer to the eternal essence; for we say that he "was," he "is," he "will be," but the truth is that "is" alone is properly attributed to him, and that "was" and "will be" only to be spoken of becoming in time, for they are motions, but that which is immovably the same cannot become older or younger by time, nor ever did or has become, or hereafter will be, older or younger, nor is subject at all to any of those states which affect moving and sensible things and of which generation is the cause.
[...] Oceanus and Tethys were the children of Earth and Heaven, and from these sprang Phorcys and Cronos and Rhea, and all that generation; and from Cronos and Rhea sprang Zeus and Here, and all those who are said to be their brethren, and others who were the children of these.
[detailed description of godly origins of human body, on organ-by-organ basis] [...] The fourth class were the inhabitants of the water : these were made out of the most entirely senseless and ignorant of all, whom the transformers did not think any longer worthy of pure respiration, because they possessed a soul which was made impure by all sorts of transgression ; and instead of the subtle and pure medium of air, they gave them the deep and muddy sea to be their element of respiration ; and hence arose the race of fishes and oysters, and other aquatic animals, which have received the most remote habitations as a punishment of their outlandish ignorance. These are the laws by which animals pass into one another, now, as ever, changing as they lose or gain wisdom and folly.
We may now say that our discourse about the nature of the universe has an end. The world has received animals, mortal and immortal, and is fulfilled with them, and has become a visible animal containing the visible — [the almost Quranic Allah-praise segment:] the sensible God who is the image of the intellectual, the greatest, best, fairest, most perfect — the one only begotten heaven.

One would be easily thinking that OL was modelled on Plato's Timaeus, if not for the fact that OL narrative choices can be attested already in 1800 BC sources (link) and seems to have been the model for them. The larger cultural relevancy of all this is that the Biblical Genesis narrative is in many ways downstream of associated Plato's works, especially the Laws 3rd book. Greek cultural references are often thought to have had older Phoenician or Babylonian sources for them, but in light of above it seems the Frisians were there as well, along to old Romans.The word ‘aewa’ is too sacred for common use. Therefore, we have learned to say “even”. [...] And there is yet another meaning attached: aewa also means ‘ae-like’ — water-like — level and smooth as water that neither windstorm nor anything else has disturbed
[...] Aewa is also the other symbol of Wralda’s spirit, which abides in us eternally, even and undisturbed,
despite the hardships facing the physical body.
[...] The primal teachings that were written on the wall of the burg tower were not copied into The Book of Adela Followers.
‘Wr-alda’ is the most-ancient or primordial (‘over-oldest’), for he created all things. Wralda ['world'] is all in all, for he is eternal and infinite. Wralda is present everywhere, yet nowhere can he be seen. Therefore, his being is called ‘spirit’. All that we can see of him are the created beings that come and go again through his life, because from Wralda all things proceed and to him they return. Out of Wralda come both the beginning and the end. All things merge into him. Wralda is the only almighty being, because all other power is borrowed from him and returns to him. From Wralda all forces are derived, and all forces return to him again. Therefore, he alone is the creative being, and nothing is created outside of him. Wralda set eternal principles or ‘aewa’ into all that was created [...] But, although all is in Wralda, the malice of people is not of him. Malice comes from sloth, carelessness, and stupidity. Therefore, it can harm the people, but never Wralda.
[The Allah-is-best-planner segment:] People may see many things, but Wralda sees all things. People may learn many things, but Wralda knows all things. People may unlock many things, but to Wralda all is opened. [...] Therefore, Wralda alone is God and there are no gods outside of him. With the turning of the Yule, all creation alters and changes. But only God is unchanging. Since Wralda is God, he cannot change, and since he endures, only he is ‘being’ and everything else ‘emergence’.
[...] Wralda existed before all things and after all things he shall endure. Thus, Wralda is eternal and he is infinite, and therefore, nothing exists outside of him. From Wralda’s life sprang time [Kroder] and all things [Frya]. And his life takes time and all things away.
Regarding our physical dimension, we are part of Wralda’s infinite being, as is the physical dimension of all that was created. Yet regarding our appearance, our characteristics, our mind and all our thoughts, these do not belong to the being. All these are fleeting phenomena that appear through Wralda’s life, which appear as they are through his wisdom and not otherwise. But because his life is perpetually progressing, nothing can remain stationary. Therefore, all creatures change in their position, their appearance, as well as their minds. Therefore, neither Earth herself, nor any creature may ever say “I am”, but rather “I was”. Likewise, no man may ever say “I think”, but only “I thought”. [...] Since everyone thus knows and must acknowledge that one is continuously changing, one must also acknowledge that one changes every instant, also whilst one says, “I am”, and that one’s thoughts change whilst one says, “I think”. Thus, instead of unworthily imitating the bad Findas and saying “I am”— or even “I am the best part of Wralda, yea, through us alone can he think”, [...] but always becoming and advancing towards perfection, without ever becoming as good as Wralda himself. Our mind is not Wralda’s spirit, it is merely a semblance of it. When Wralda created us, he lent us, through his wisdom, a brain, senses, memory, and many good qualities. By means of these, we can consider his creations and his primordial aewa. If Wralda had not given us any senses, we would know nothing, and we would be yet more helpless than a jellyfish that is driven forth by the ebb and flow.
