Chapter 29:
Man Chooseth His Own Pathway
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. KNOW THAT I give you instruction, beloved; I say unto you,
Ye are low in your spirits without having cause; that which
perplexeth you is not from sound reasonings; ye do make a
great tumult unto yourselves and cry, Lord, deliver us; verily I do
deliver you from the snares of your intellects, for thus are ye
snared.
2. The things of the world are transient, beloved: they affect
those ye love and your hearts are cast down, ye perceive only
snares and cry, Away with such mischiefs!
3. I say the snares are auguries, they come unto you telling
you of that which transpireth, they enmesh but the ankle that
the body may be delivered.
4. There are beauties along with such snarings, beloved,
verily are there fragrances among many weeds; the things that
perplex you are born out of fact, but know that I tell you that
none is eternal: it cometh and goeth and those who receive it
are hosts to benefaction.
5. Ye do ask of me instruction; I say that I give it.
6. Tasks are before us, labors encompass us, the Plan goeth
on: I perceive that ye make progress in that which is to be;
know that I speak unto you of that which is to be.
7. We have errands afar, the oceans have an errand to bear
us in our labors, we seek statesmen in high places, we come
unto the humble and bid them be ennobled, we say onto many
chieftains, Give audience to your destinies!
8. Lo, there are those who behold the future brightly, they
read it as ye read it, they know whereof ye come unto them, but
of the time they know not.
9. I say that ye shall go to them, ye shall call them by name in
the bright name of promise; I say ye shall treat with them, ye
shall visit with them mightily, plannings shall ye make with them
and the world shall know its blessings.
10. I tell you that I go before you, hastening such plannings:
I go to prepare a place for you in the hearts of many chieftains,
that where I take abode there ye may sit also.
11. My ministers come unto you, bringing you triumphs in
many perplexities: they are guided of me in that I give them
embassy: they tell you of the Plan and the beauties of its
masterings: they treat with event in that ye may know
substance: they bring a rich aid when the times are against you:
they come with surprisings.
12. But beloved, I warn you, treat them not with persuadings:
say not unto them, Give us this or give us that.
13. Have they not knowledge of that which ye need? do they
not see the greater scene? do they not know the auguries? why
else are they ministers?
14. I say they mark out that which is to be, according to the
Plan as it cometh to pass: they see that which reareth up and
stalketh out: their actings are wise: they have gained to a
wisdom.
15. They come and go continually as my ministers; in this have
they honor; they say unto me nightly, We have witnessed the
world, it maketh goodly progress, yet do we witness that which
pleaseth us not;
16. We have powers to restrain it, yet we exercise them not: lo,
it is thy office to exercise such powers.
17. I say unto them, Let the powers be not exercised.
18. Man, I tell you, chooseth his pathway, he maketh his
own progress: I have shown him his way, I have trodden it
before him; naught cometh to him of good that I do not
motivate, I convince him of my presence but leave to him
decision;
19. I say unto him, Choose! are ye sons of the Father, or
mountebanks in darkness?
20. My ministers forbear if they see that which is of darkness.
21. Man perceiveth not the light that it shineth of itself; he
perceiveth the darkness and crieth out for radiance.
22. Man declareth with a rancor, Thy ministers have no being;
lo, are they myths created of fancy, they possess not a
substance, they come and they go in mortal thought only.
23. Man beholdeth not Reality, he thinketh it be symbols, he
perceiveth not that his understanding felleth him, he hath eyes
to see and he giveth fancy reckonings.
24. I say unto you, beloved, the times are ripe on earth for
heavenly manifestings: a cycle hath performed, a new cycle
openeth.
25. Man maketh progress, he crieth out for light, he arriveth at
a point where denial of truth despoileth him; he hath gained
knowledge but not wisdom, unwisely hath he used the
knowledge that hath come to him, he hath seized it at his
peril.
26. I say he hath gone far in learning's application, yet hath he
threatened himself with extinction.
27. Man seeketh the Spirit as never hath he sought: life hath
its mysteries, science hath her quandaries, the souls of men
arrive at the crossroads of experiencings, a cry goeth up;
28. Men utter the cry, Where are those who lead us? We arrive
at a stopping! There is none to lead us farther!
29. I say, men cry error: their mistakes find them out: I go
before them with great truths, I say, Accept the Light!
30. Lo, we are lamplighters bringing them light, we are come to
flood-light them, men hear us by book and preachment and
drama, they see Spirit in movings, behold they see the results
of spirituality as we lead them on;
31. They arrive at a cycle when new truths force a radiance;
32. They say, We want truth, we seek truth, we need truth, we
strive earnestly that truth may be recorded in our hearts!
33. Lo, they speak aright though they know not what they
speak.
34. I say unto men, Ye have the truth, practice it! ye have the
Spirit, use it! goodly gifts have been given unto you, I command
that ye employ them!
35. Yet come they ever, over and over saying, Manifest,
Master, that we may believe!
36. Have I not heard them?
37. I say unto them, Do I not manifest in your generation? shall
not workers of iniquities be engulfed in their own tumults?
behold the righteous man, shall he not be ennobled?
38. I tell you men shall see the Eternal shining forth as a
garment on the form of One who cometh radiantly.
39. The month and the year are not for your knowledge, but is
that of your famine? . . . the cycle openeth in your generation,
I manifest presently when I am ready of aspect to go down
into flesh.
40. I say ye are important to that which cometh presently:
eternal truths reach man, he seizeth on them eagerly.
41. Shall he not seize them in that ye have brought them, that
ye were the bringers, that light was of your blazing?
42. Hear my words, and be them!
43. I say that ye make progress in the arts and the sciences,
ye perform in bright letterings, ye serve a goodly meal and the
feasters come in cohorts, ye lift up a staff and the thirsty drink
bright waters.
44. Do ye serve in humble stations? hath the station
importance? is it not upright that the station be in readiness to
feed but three famishing if so be it they do famish? what care
the enhungered that ten thousand feast beside them?
45. I tell you when the call cometh for higher things to be
revealed, the Bright Word shall manifest: men shall behold the
beauties that were hidden.
46. I say unto you, Be of great worth in that which approacheth
you!
47. Scribes and Pharisees still live, man hath his scriveners,
behold his lawyers rend him, many do dwell in goodly places
having darkness in their hearts.
48. Presently we come and beauteously ensnare them, we
remove them from the righteous, we coop them in hidings, their
fangs tear not my sheep.
49. Beloved, be circumspect: no call cometh to you but the call
to high purpose: the high purpose cometh!
50. Ye do treat with men now to show them my will; I say that
ye shall treat with them presently to make that will manifest, ye
shall know my blessing for it, I say it shall be magnified to your
honor and profit. . . .
