Chapter 17:
The Pack
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. WE GATHER to hold speech as I have promised you: I am
come to tell you of the things that ye shouldst know: I am come
to rejoice with you, to say, Be glad of heart, for ye are those
who do my work and presently the radiance cometh in.
2. I say unto you, Be glad, be loyal, be upright, be steadfast:
speech cometh to you from my servants, ye are helped to do
my work and find release from that which perplexeth.
3. I say unto you, My servants are loyal, they have an
eagerness: ye are not asked to do my work alone: know that
they surround you: harken when they summon you;
4. I say unto you, Call on them: it giveth them joy to be of
such service; I say unto you more: I say unto you that men
await the voice of one they know not, except he is of me.
5. Men are asking, Whence cometh he who taketh us from
this snare of earthly tribulation? when cometh the time that we
know release? behold we suffer long, enemies surround us,
snares are set for our feet, we know not the radiance, we seek
him who leadeth us unto the true God;
6. We seek him earnestly: he cometh not: we hasten his
coming: we go out to meet him: we watch on the highroad.
7. Behold, beloved, they await my servant who speaketh with
a knowledge born of his redemption, who knoweth my
presence, who cometh in unto me and goeth out from me, who
ever cometh in and goeth out, who maketh a choice message
and speaketh it with learning, who saith: These things are
God's, that man should do good, that the times of waiting are
at an end, that men seek the wisdom and it is given them,
that men seek the radiance and it floodeth on them.
8. Be of stout heart, beloved; I say it hath been a goodly time
since we did listen, each to the other, and say, We do make a
compact, we go down into flesh, we seek to give mankind a
sign that that which cometh is born of the Everlasting One, that
man hath a mission unto himself and doth it nobly, that we are
come to minister unto him, that the Father and the Son have
knowledge of man's purpose and raise him to excellence.
9. I say it hath been a goodly time since we did listen, each to
the other, and say, Let us manifest in flesh again and see that
mankind hath reason to know us by our works.
10. I say unto you, beloved, Our Pact hath been kept to the
date hereof: ye have found yourselves in flesh: ye have
marveled that memory hath not returned to you: ye have asked
me for memory;
11. I say unto you, It cometh in season: ye have been
grievously tormented by ignorance, ye have winnowed the
wheat from the chaff of experience and come into a stature that
singeth a promise.
12. Hear me, beloved: the Pact was twofold:
13. First we manifest to men that they know they have saviors,
that the world is not a wilderness in which they are lost sheep,
that a cup of rejoicing awaiteth their lips: I say it awaiteth them.
14. We come unto men with the cup of that rejoicing: we say to
men, Quaff it: praise ye the Father: He hath sent us to serve
you.
15. That part of the Pact was of our election; I said, Behold
I go back to men in flesh although it humbleth me, I descend
into physical form although it paineth me; ye said, Let us go with
thee, thus cometh a privilege;
16. I said, Go through into the world and I do come after you
by different means, using phenomena in the eyes of men to
accomplish what they see.
17. Now we do come to the time of that seeing; I say, Men are
awaiting it.
18. I do call you and ye do respond: ye do call me and I do
respond: but of the time wherein I respond, ye know not.
19. That part of the Pact hath its aspect unto radiance, and yet
I tell you more: I say there is more:
20. Men shall be perplexed, the earth shall run mad,
multitudes shall pass to and fro in many nations shouting their
terrors: they shall cry, A marvel hath been beholden to our
eyesight, a miracle hath lifted, One came in a high, high place
seen by all attending.
21. Raised he his hand in rebuke and said: Peace unto the
nations, between the nations, and in the nations' councils!
22. They do cry with a loud cry, they seek explanation, they fall
upon you saying, Explain it or we slay you, devil or angel, what
tell we our children concerning this wonder?
23. I do say unto you, beloved, the second part of the Pact
then cometh: Ye do arise in contriteness and yet power shall be
in you: ye shall say, Nations, hear us!
24. We do speak from our wisdom, long have we known that
this cometh to pass, long had we light that this was to be, long
have we prepared to pour out blessings of explainings, long
have we perceived that man had reached attainment that
commanded it;
25. We made a pact with One who cometh in a radiance:
we came to earth to herald him: Yea did we come to walk after
him, and pour blessings of explainings on those who decried
him; we say unto you, Hear our voices lest a wrath be poured
upon you and ye perish!
26. We say unto you, Put up your arms, cast away your
armaments, know no implements of warfare, dull the sword,
bend the spear, let your demeanor be circumspect, hunt from
your councils those who defile them, beat a loud drum against
the evil man who pursueth his aims in secret and defileth you
openly.
27. Know that a goodly heritage cometh to you when ye have
scoured with your displeasure him who maketh torment to
endure among the humble in that he may be great.
28. Help the afflicted with the substance lost in carnage, bind up
the wounds of those ye call your enemies, know a great quiet,
plant a great wheatfield and feed the forsaken, descend unto
the baffled and make them your stalwarts, give succor unto
every wholesome thing that toucheth man and raiseth him!
29. Thus say ye to the nations! thus your speech reacheth
them! thus they shall hear you!
30. Yet some shall hear you not: they shall cry, Away with
these who do utter us blasphemies, whenever was it known of
us that miracles came of our own generation? whenever did it
happen that prophets and holy ones walked among us and we
knew them for their majesties? whenever was it wisdom that we
should harken to those in the form of our brethren who say,
Bow down and be contrite for we are servants of the holy one?
31. I tell you they shall try to take away your lives in that
they shall fear you: they shall stalk you unawares: they shall
come upon you and raise their hands against you: they shall
cast you in prison and hale you before the judge in that he may
condemn you to be moved afar from them.
32. I say ye shall go unscathed for the armor that is around
you; ye shall walk through the press and their hands shall not
reach you, ye shall stand in the way of the missile that is thrown
and it shall clear your foreheads, ye shall stand before the judge
and he shall say unto you, I find no fault with you, depart and be
at freedom for these are evil men who do seek for your
chastisement.
33. A time cometh when men shall rend themselves in that
they fear that which they have witnessed: verily they shall gash
themselves, making lamentations: they shall cry, The Evil One
possesseth us, we are tempted of the Pit!
34. Verily the evil one possesseth them not, the Pit doth not
tempt them, those who come unto them have the Sign on their
foreheads, but men look for a mark that disfigureth the
countenance.
35. I say unto you, Men shall come upon a mountain, they
shall pray on that mountain, they shall cry, Deliver us, O mighty
ones, from the wrath of your displeasures!
36. Know, my beloved, no wrath hath gone out to them: the
mighty ones know wisdom: wrath cometh of ignorance, of want
of understanding: the mighty ones give succor, yea of a
radiance;
37. They speak unto the pure in heart and say, Go hence and
preach! harken to the voice that whispereth in the intellect! raise
up a thanksgiving that the veil of death is rent, that the
brilliance shineth through and bestoweth on you instruction!
give it to the multitude that men know it richly!
38. I tell you that the Pact in its second part is simple, yet is it
difficult in that it taketh stamina to endure; ye are earthly clay in
body having nerves that command you, having sinews that
weaken when danger doth stress you.
39. Except ye be great in faith, verily ye do weaken truly.
40. But I say unto you, Ye have Spirit and it exalteth flesh: ye
have a strong errand and its strength is your sinew: ye have a
desiring to make great the simple, to raise up legions to the
intellect, to inspire the poor in heart, to bring blessings to the
sodden.
41. When have I ever rebuked you for that?
42. I say it is part of the Pact, beloved, that ye do go forth in
the faith that exalteth the flesh, that strengtheneth the sinew,
that maketh great the simple, that giveth the intellect an
excellent performance.
43. Did ye not make the Pact? is it not of your election? when
have I ever asked of the Chosen, Get hence and perform or my
wraths visit on you?
44. Beloved, be comforted: we know a strong choice, we know
a sweet election: verily there cometh to us the fine peace of
majesty in that we have chosen. . . .
