Chapter 14:
Force Cometh Not of Battlements
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. HAVE I NOT been with you through the days of your
journeyings? know that I am with you till the body ceaseth
pulsing, then times and again, as the flesh is transfigured.
2. I say the time hath come for speech of goodly import:
I have read your hearts and the thoughts of your hearts: the
days bring revealings, the nights receive wisdom.
3. I have been with you in the days, my voice hath sought you
out, my vision hath counseled you; now cometh my reason
that redeemed you from questionings:
4. Once was a golden age when our fathers lived richly,
behold they lived foolishly and disaster overwhelmed them.
5. Shall they not have revealed to them that they were those
fathers and received not the blessings except to defile them?
6. The heathen are my children: they are men in form and
body but their souls are as children; lo, they need force to coop
their iniquities.
7. But force cometh not of battlements, beloved; there is force
of armament making deadly destruction, causing murders,
making the innocent to suffer; there is force of moral stricture
which maketh man to see that he drowneth in the vortex of vast
public opinion.
8. Force hath power of arm yet power of brain as well: power
of arm may injure or help, power of brain can never injure,
always it helpeth.
9. Men have means and ways of controlling the unruly, those
who walk not uprightly before the nations; they have means and
ways of setting boundaries, denying goods, making no
intercourse with those who transgress; lo, such odium
assaulteth and taketh many turrets.
10. Nations rise and fall by that which is Opinion: he who hath
not clean hands sitteth not among the righteous. Is it not true
of nations?
11. Lo, they embark on goodly missions with one another for
selfish profits and mutual protection; can they not embark on
goodly missions for protection of all nations?
12. I say unto you, the time cometh, beloved, when men shall
sit together and exclaim, Behold the world is Satan's, men
control not their passions nor can they control them!
13. I tell you they speak falsely: I tell you they speak as those
having knowledge only as of fools.
14. I tell you that men are not passionate, they are not warlike,
except as others make them; men are one species, they are
one before the Father, they are equal in meriting the blessings
of science; let them partake of such, raising one another,
covering the Pit wherein all would die darkly.
15. Selfishness hath said, Men are passionate, lacking cause;
selfishness hath willed it so, eschewing that profit that lieth
in rectitude.
16. I say to you, beloved, men are self-willed, strong of
impulse, bitter of hatred, that each of them may profit one above
the other; they come and go joyously, taking such profit; lo, their
brethren suffer, they find joy in such suffering.
17. I say rebuke them by taking from their seizure that which
they have seized; I say unto my servants, Invent ye no more; lo,
the cause is not worthy, only destructions come of your
wisdoms; give not of your pearls lest the swine eat and choke
themselves.
18. Know ye not of olden time it was said, A man shall have
two kine, one shall help him plow, the other shall gore him? Lo,
that hath been science and invention.
19. Science helpeth man to plow, invention goreth him;
science giveth him increase, invention bringeth cataclysm; lo,
we tell man this and if he heed us, great shall be his progress,
but if he heed us not, woe unto him whose abominations
stalk him.
20. He shall be scattered: mankind shall miss him: he shall go
out and not return: no tears shall mark it.
21. I say unto you, beloved, the time arriveth when we tell
men these things; we say them plainly, spreading no
confusions, making clear speech, using words that are arrows.
22. We give the opportunity to know whereof we speak: if men
come not into the sheepfold of rectitude, they shall in nowise
know the sheepfold's protection.
23. I say to you, beloved, that man shall be ennobled, I say he
shall be favored, I say he will be favored more if he taketh the
cross of righteousness upon him.
24. But if he taketh it not, the Goodly Company leaveth him; it
returneth the commission, it departeth for the Father, man shall
know the riotings that come of his debasements.
25. I do not come to you making confusions: man hath ever his
chance to ride in wisdom's chariot or follow as it pleaseth him;
I speak to you now of the race as a creation.
26. Lo, we save those who merit our succor: they return not to
earth where wickedness dwelleth; lo, wickedness destroyeth
itself, knowledge unblessed maketh the species to exterminate;
I tell you, beloved, this is the Plan of those who call men to
forsake their evil ways and dwell unto the Father.
27. We call on men to come up out of darkness and live in light
forever; lo, they decide, each man for himself, but come no
more servants offering favors of science or fruits of invention.
28. I say, Men shall see me, they shall know that I am, that the
earth is mine employment, that I know my servants each one by
his name, that I know the righteous, that all those who cry to me
shall in nowise go unheard.
29. In that day I awaken each man's decision; lo, each
decideth and liveth thereafter according to his vomit,
according to his fragrance.
30. I trust you with this knowledge. I give it for a purpose.
31. Ye have made your goodly journeyings: ye have joined the
brethren and the sisters who are my husbandmen and
handmaidens: great are ye all in your potency for good.
32. Men come with proposings that seem to you boisterous,
they come with offerings of charms and deployments, they rend
you with lecheries, they uphold you with riches: always will it
be so.
33. We use them as we may for the glory of the Father.
34. I go before you day unto day pointing the pathway to
heraldry's achievement; we meet again when the new day
cometh; we are that day and the world's dark awaiteth us.
