Chapter 12:

Spirits of Mighty Men Are Reborn

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. MY JOY it is to come to you; ye are mine on earth for the purpose of attesting of me to the nations; harken to my wisdom:

2. I say that the world doth know a great cycle; the lives of men on earth do confront a completion, the lives of future children come pouring ever onward; men prepare the earth for them; they build tabernacles to those children that those children may see God.

3. Doth the earth vomit a great spite? I say it is meet.

4. I tell you that men are made finer with each new generation; their progress hath a swiftness; the lives of those who sound a great trumpet in this age are the lives of those who have known a greatness in past ages.

5. There are reborn into this age the spirits of mighty men who have made the earth their dwelling place; they have left it full of mortal renown; they do come once again to the powers that proclaim them; the cycle closeth shortly; there are many to mark it.

6. Men are born unto this age who have come from far-off glamors to bear witness to their greatness; the earth hath not known such profusion of ennoblement.

7. Men have found life who were once saints and prophets; they have returned who were inventors and scientists; great musicians have come back; great artists work in beauty, beloved; never hath talent so great walked the earth.

8. Souls walk among men who were Caesars and apostles, great artists and great artisans; back to this age hath come Milton, hath come Dante; back have come those who have made their discoveries in astronomy and surgery, and artists who have written and painted and molded till their names are as gods in the hearts of the aspiring.

9. I tell you that ye have a knowledge of these; this is the day wherein they return to manifest unto men that each hath a divinity.

10. My beloved, I charge you: Ye do walk with immortals whom ye know not of: great souls are your companions; they know it not themselves but their characters proclaim them; they seek fresh pathways to scatter their talents; they come in and go out to you, and ye treat with them as brethren.

11. I say unto you that others come in future; they belong of my company that manifesteth now to proclaim me to the nations when the full days be ripened; they come unto you in goodly seasons and declare, Brethren, we know you!

12. I say unto you, Behold there are those who do know you already.

13. They come unto you saying, Brethren, we love you for the Word given unto us. Not until the times of the Great Speaking shall ye know their true identities. Yet I say unto you more:

14. The world groweth weary of bloodshed, beloved; the times have a ripeness for the dreams of thinkers to come true; they are returning to see those times in genesis.

15. I tell you that verily ye have company of your kin who come upon earth to be led of your wisdom; verily in this generation shall such leading have a radiance.

16. Many have not knowledge of their identities excepting they have zeal to perform mammoth works; they have come upon earth to assist in those works; they have come with a marveling that man hath not arrived at better knowledge of his essence.

17. Verily I tell you, the Host hath set its mark upon them; they come of it brightly; I tell you that wherever one cometh who saith, l am lover of earth's millions, who seeketh eternal truth and doth it, who seeketh eternal right and meaneth it, there riseth up a soul that hath wrought mighty works in ages that are history.

18. The cycle hath maneuvered; it compriseth persons from far, far planes who have sought to stand in the present tumults and bespeak a great order; their purses hold healings; they would instruct the timorous to truth and righteousness greater than humankind ever hath envisioned.

19. My beloved, be warned: the enemy knoweth these things are of moment: the enemy discerneth that great events impend; he saith to his cohorts: If we but cause turmoils between these who come ministering, lo, do we win the world for our mischiefs.

20. Do I not hear their plannings? are they not great in numbers? have they grasped of the glories they seek to forestall?

21. They consider it clever to be of this mind; they go to and fro spinning tales of their blithesome achievements; they come in to the small in heart and bestrew a foul vomit; they rise up and beat their breasts vaingloriously, crying to their legions, Perceive that we are marvelous! Take note of our prowess! Give a pence unto Caesar, for we are as Caesar and behold we have commanded it!

22. I say unto you that we have great works to do in small promptings, verily for the enemy, though he seeth it not; we are doing them presently; we hoist a great banner unto the pure in heart, and they see us and know us, and greet us with palm leaves.

23. I tell you the hour cometh when men shall know my presence; the poles of the earth shall mark out the boundaries of those who do acclaim me; men shall stand before one another and say, Behold we are followers of him who went before us, even unto death, and rose up and conquered it, that we might be inheritors of his wisdom without vauntings in it.

24. Know that they shall say of me: Master was he of us and we knew him not, but we followed when we knew.

25. Men shall say, Lo, the earth is beautiful, for hath it not returned to the beauty that he gave it?

26. In that hour shall men be glorified; they shall stand with the Host from which they departed long aeons bygone; the Father shall bless us in that we wrought it; we shall bless the sweet sacrifice that men be so ennobled.

27. My beloved, there cometh to me a vision: A man lifteth up his voice and saith, The earth is a resting place for those who dwell rightly!

28. I say unto him, Not so! the earth is a forge wherein mighty works are wrought for humankind's ennoblement.

29. He saith unto me, And doth man himself possess no ennoblement?

30. I say unto him, Behold the reverse! man hath had ennoblement from the Beginning and found it for himself; I and my servants have pointed him the path.

31. Know ye, beloved, the man will be confused; he will go away and return, saying, Verily, Master, thou speakest with truth.

32. I tell you thus a mystery; someday I tell you the mystery's solution; this hour I say, The man hath identity!

33. Beloved, hear my voice! Ye have a surrounding by great fathers of the past; their eternal minds know you; ye know them by their works performed unto Spirit;

34. They are the Goodly Company, beloved, of whom I tell you constantly; they are those who seek you out; when have I made you a sly fabrication?

35. I told you of great terms and ye took them to be little; I told you of the future, and ye saw and spake the present.

36. I say, the Goodly Company is reborn among men; some of it are old, some of it are young: they are rich, they are poor: they fill humble places often, mayhap they fill vast chairs of affluence where all men do mark them.

37. Know them, I say, for those who they are: they embellish the world, they make it sweet with ringing.

38. And now I say this: ye have had entourage among those great in gainings, ye have visited the affluent, ye have met them in their chambers; ye have sojourned among souls and met them at the businesses that bestowed on you a wracking, ye have sat down and eaten meat with souls of great markings in cycles that are perished;

39. To meet them thus at present was the plan as it is Written.

40. Ye have seen mysteries in embarkings that betook you to distresses; ye have walked in far places; ye have come and gone strangely, worried by your urgings; tumults have perplexed you; banners have beguiled you.

41. I tell you that thereby have ye made appointment and greeting with ten thousand times ten thousand who have borne the world's crosses in cycles that are ageless. . . .

42. Verily have they been those who have brought to man a treasure when riches were his heritage: they will bring it again and new cycles shall praise them; do your losses hold mystery? behold I reveal them.

43. Always and forever ye do toil and meet misfortune, but it taketh you journeying: ye do meet the beloved.

44. They come to you thus and say in a controversy, Lo, we perceive that ye are men of goodly aspect. They know not themselves of conscious mind, neither know they you; yet do they manifest; they say, Speech have we had with you before, yet we remember not the lands nor the seasons.

45. Verily, they remember!

46. They come unto you and make protest at man's revilings against you.

47. I tell you the causes of your misadventures have it that the Goodly Company greet you, that the beloved of old receive you.

48. Ye are not of goods by business in this world: ye do have a business that is different and all men do mark it.

49. Think ye great speakings are born of inexperience?

50. My beloved, I tell you the multitude is witness to your past distresses; it seeth in you, itself; it saith to itself, Lo, we make a proud following in that these men have gone before us and suffered as we suffer; do they tell us of heavenly glories? we shall see them also! do they tell us of earthly labors? we shall do them, even as they! do they paint us of spirit's victories? shall we not also be artists in the radiance? have they not given us their brushes as accolades?

51. These are your missions: presently ye end them; I give you no time for such ending, but it cometh.

52. Lo, the Goodly Company cometh also; ye are many with them yet over them; ye do counsel them in spirit; their plights are your labors: ever and always ye do bathe in one radiance.

53. My beloved, be advised: the enemy hath achieved but presently he falleth; go about your affairs and trust that I lead you; the Goodly Company waiteth upon you.

54. I seek no distresses for you that I suffer not myself! . . .
