Chapter 26:
I Come in Many Guises
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. THERE are ways in which I come to you of which ye have no
knowledge: I come saying, Peace to you! Know ye my voice!
2. I come to you saying, Let the meditations of your hearts
attest that I am with you; I come to you saying, Know ye
that the words of others oft are the phrases that I speak with my
lips.
3. I come in many guises when ye bethink them not; a wise
man uttereth speakings and ye say, He is inspired; think ye,
beloved, he maketh his own poesy? What of the ennobled
ones? . . . Are they not in my bosom? Do they not use my
wordage, being close to my heart?
4. Know that I am pleased that the Plan goeth forward; we
rejoice in its utterings; we see men ennobled.
5. Know ye that ye have all ways open to you, all power
cometh to you, all radiance enfoldeth you.
6. Remember there is ample time for the Plan's
consummation; ye cannot hasten it by taking thought; I say it is
of order; it cometh to men by method; when ye do hasten, ye do
rear up defeat.
7. I adjure you, be careful of address one to the other in that
ye tell no deceivings to those who come questioning; I say that
men are mindful of you to refute you in that they perceive that
your speech hath its pitfalls.
8. I say unto you, beloved, the covenant is your armor: there
cometh to you no errand that raiseth you not in beauty;
whatsoever cometh to you is sent unto your valor: your mercies
are your milestones set along the Highroad of Endurance of
Spirit.
9. Be loving and tranquil and know that I come to you; the
day hath rejoicing in that night perceiveth wisdom; hear ye
such wisdom. . . .
10. Men have a knowledge of those things that are spiritual,
but they claim among themselves those things that please
them.
11. They say, lo, we have a God, He endureth as Spirit, He
dwelleth above us, He maketh us to know ourselves, He
cometh unto us in secret, He seeketh us in hiding places and
rebuketh our transgressions.
12. Hear me, beloved: the Father rebuketh no one; those who
have no need of Him, He hath no need to rebuke; they
go their way to darkness; the beloved he loveth, they merit no
rebuke.
13. Know that men say, Behold the Lord rebuketh us by
sending us calamities, He testeth our faith, He maketh us to
strengthen ourselves by His merciful goodness in the mischief
of tempest.
14. I say, beloved, there is no God in testing, no, not in
tempest, as men vaunt its mischiefs.
15. Man hath a mission to ennoble himself: he cometh unto
earth and earth aideth him to do it; he cometh unto God and
asketh, Give me eternal truth that I may know myself.
16. God sendeth experience and naught else, beloved:
experience teacheth him all that is taught; it leadeth men up, it
boweth them down; it giveth them pleasure, it bringeth them
pain.
17. Out of such suffering they achieve their ennoblement; they
arrive at a tenderness; they behold the Father's essence.
18. Nothing cometh to man that is not of experience:
experience is godhood; it encompasseth everything: it maketh
the sun to shine in men's hearts, it maketh the storms to stalk in
their lives, but only as experience, never as testing.
19. Lo, men test themselves: they say, We bear this or we
bear that; we will do this thing and avoid the other.
20. They are pleased that they choose, not knowing that
decision either way ennobleth them, that they come to the
Father or go from Him through experience.
21. Light is given to show them the way; they take it or reject it:
thus do they forever teach and test themselves.
22. I am glad for you, beloved, that ye have had
experience; it maketh you masters, it teacheth you of tumults,
it bespeaketh you in cloisters; ye go up to luxury, ye descend to
impoverishment; what mattereth the journey except that ye
know it?
