Chapter 23:

Evil I Ignorance

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. THE EARTH and the heavens have a complement. Life hath a blessing. The Father and the Son conspire to do good. My beloved, hear me, for the gathering time hath a goodly moment. . . .

2. Men have balked me many years; times without number have I borne with them, times without number will I bear with them again; they know me not as the cause of their good fortunes; evil hath come on them and they bear toward me a rancor.

3. Know ye that good cometh always of me; I am good; I am the spirit of good; I give good gifts to men: I give them science, I give them intelligence, I give them art, I give them manners; all things making for comity I give them.

4. Lo, that which cometh of me is constructive, I am Construction made manifest, I give the world intelligence, I give the world intelligence abundantly. I say unto men: Arise and be gods, take your inheritance!

5. They say unto me: What inheritance have we? Are they not children and souls of little manners? I say they are more: they are makers of false utterance, they bear truth a malice.

6. Men grasp of my gifts and sit them down with mischiefs; they take that which cometh of me and make of it a pestilence: they greet that which cometh to them and say, It is of ourselves, we make ourselves intelligent.

7. Verily they speak wrongly; intelligence cometh of me and none else; intelligence declareth to those who are mortal, Thou art goodly in sight of the Righteous making manifest; be better that thou mayest come into the Kingdom.

8. Intelligence leadeth man from beasthood, it maketh him to shine as a jewel in the crown of the Father, it taketh a child and lifteth it to wisdom, yea it maketh the sodden to see their high heritage.

9. Think ye intelligence cometh of evil?

10. I tell you, evil is lack of intelligence; I say it is naught else.

11. I come unto men saying, Be ye intelligent for thereby cometh goodness, give to me manners that your intelligence ennobleth you.

12. Evil hath an emptiness, it cannot construct, it ignoreth the ways that lead unto happiness, it seeketh out no goodly situation but taketh the world and giveth it a weeping.

13. Evil hath no crown, it hath no distaff, it hath no divining rod that pointeth out riches; evil hath only confusion and ignorance and manifest impoverishment; it hath shortage of compassion that ye do call intolerance.

14. Verily I say unto you, beloved, evil is man's enemy above all other enemies in that it seeketh to do him no improvement, naught hath it to do for man but to pull him down to vomit; it proclaimeth his smallness, it maketh a god of his ignorance and humbleth him before it.

15. I say ignorance is evil and evil is ignorance.

16. There are no other gods of darkness before Ignorance.

17. That which cometh of me hath a radiance, behold it is tolerant and beauteous and tranquil; all things making for good, for happiness, for delight, for peace, for almsgiving, for benediction on others, these are the diadem stones in the crown of mine eternity.

18. I say unto you, beloved, in that ye have taken knowledge unto yourselves ye have traveled in a progress; in that ye have triumphed over ignorance so hath the Dark One fled before your footsteps.

19. My servants have told me, The Beloved awaken, they seek themselves in memory.

20. I say unto my servants, Tell the Beloved I come unto them presently, I lift the veil from memory, things shall be radiant that long have been mysteries, the Beloved have a knowledge forbidden unto men.

21. I say unto those Beloved, Is the journey long and do ye fall fainting? am I not awaiting you when the travel be finished? 22. Beloved, Beloved!

23. We have walked by many waters, we have looked on many valleys; verily we dwell in mansions not made with hands, we sing carols unto the righteous: Hosanna in the highest! the Lord God reigneth! peace on earth! good will to sons of Light!

24. This speaking I bring you.

25. Ye are weary with the days well spent, ye have conquered in your hearts, ye have heard the Voice say unto you, Arise! lead the multitude! do the Father's business!

26. Verily shall ye hear it till the morning cometh when a great procession moveth into glory; now ye know not its meaning; then shalt ye know it.

27. Verily ye think it meaneth a thing; tomorrow, I tell you, it meaneth a river, sparkling with fragrance, made to move mightily in that its waters lift it to surfeit.

28. A goodly company cometh unto you: shepherds of my sheep respond to you: men cry unto mine omnipotence, Master, send us more of these for verily, verily we know their identities, they instruct us in mysteries, they open a coffer, in that they are, we do sup with a providence!

29. I instruct you to tell them of more mysteries shortly: I make you the speakings: a million ears hear them.

30. Have I not a great love for you, that ye do spread this treasure, that one speaketh a speaking, that a million ears hear it? How hear it they, beloved, except ye come unto them? Verily ye come unto them and my wisdom is magnified.

31. Know ye not that this thing is extraordinary? never in history hath it happened.

32. Man hath never received such instruction; ye do tell millions eternal truths whilst I in flesh bespoke but thousands. 33. Lest ye think it strange, this I say unto you, All things have come in that we have ministered, all ennoblements have happened in that we have manifested; greater yet shall be our ministries, brighter yet shall be our triumphs.

34. Know that all men gather together presently in bands of eternal fellowship in that we do manifest, great nations seek fellowship in that we are, kings and their chamberlains follow paths of rectitude in that men have found leadership in those who ever led.

35. I say unto you, beloved, be not modest to your hurt, doubt not your commissions, obstruct not the Plan by saying, It is not so that I have been honored for that which I have done in lives that I have lived.

36. The Plan is eternal: it cometh to pass: the Father hath decreed it: I say that ye are weary for the hour with well doing yet have ye won victories, the garlands are yours yet ye know not their fragrance.

37. I come unto you telling you that the Path is bright and pleasant; those journey with us whose voices blend in harmony, yea do they ring it and the valleys echo anthems.

38. Behold I call each one of you. I say, Arise and lead! 39. The call cometh on you, the valleys take note of it, those on the uplands await your strong fellowship.

40. I tell you a new Godhead cometh to earth, ye are its fellowship, ye scatter its utterings, ye sit and sup with it.

41. Is it not meet that ye shouldst know your honorings? . . .
