Chapter 30:
Light
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. PERCEIVE that we are brethren: the work we do is beauteous:
we dwell in a fellowship: we make the earth beautiful.
2 Yet do the unwise ones make for us obstructions, they
have confusions in their bosoms, their intellects tear them, they
say amongst themselves, What would we of radiance? are we
not found out if radiance cometh, finding us?
3 I tell you the enemy knoweth no surcease, his bosom ever
wracketh him, he loseth his substance if light doth sit with him;
lo, his pleasures tear him if he vaunteth not his valiance.
4 He attempteth your downfall, he seeketh your perplexity:
he goeth out and cometh in amongst you delighting to divert
you, to tease you with false profitings.
5 Behold we are concerned with making earth orderly, with
raising it up, with obtaining for the righteous man his increase,
with restoring to the upright that which hath been losings.
6 Would the enemy not halt it? what beauty seeth he in
declaring sweet order? in performing a peace? in restoring the
losings? in rendering his judgments?
7 Harken to mine utterings: The things that ye do are
important to me; behold they concern the kingdom of splendor,
they have intent to help mankind, they make a smooth
forehead, they give the purse fatness.
8 When have I ever said to you that order cometh not? that
peace cometh not? that restoring cometh not? that fatness of
the purse was a vileness unto majesty? . . . .
9 I tell you that the Father fatteneth the purse, the vine giveth
increase, the future hath its mission.
10 Man vaunteth himself now: he saith to himself, Lo, we
behold the light when we see it.
11 He dwelleth in the light and the splendor of it blindeth him,
wherefore he saith, The light is denied us, who will bring it
to us?
12 He escheweth the fountain where his blindness might drop
from him.
13 Must I take him to the fountain? must I lift him in its basin?
14 Harken to mine uttering: Light, I have enlightened you,
is creator of all good; it is of that substance whereby the return
of your spirits into earthly bodies is determined; I speak of light
further, enlightening your sciences:
15 Light hath more properties than ever man hath dreamt of: it
hath vibration so fine in ether that incandescence cometh, it
reacheth men's eyes in aspect of waves;
16 I say it doth more: it hath more than incandescence,
it performeth a greater wonder than that men may see in
darkness, it cometh to man sustaining his spirit, it maketh
miracles to happen.
17 I say Light is more! Light is the shibboleth of the Host when
manifesting, yet likewise doth Light manifest unto itself, having
its properties to bring order from chaos.
18 It goeth forth into darkness pressing Order before it.
19 In that Light vibrateth, harmony maketh order;
20 Light hath power to achieve: it goeth up and down the
universe, verily impelling creation before it;
21 Light is the word of the Father, saying, Be . . . . lo, matter
is!
22 Light cometh unto beings that are radiant, making them of
radiance; it goeth forth from others and maketh a path of
radiance announcing them.
23 I say unto you, beloved, except that ye be born as
creatures of Light, ye cannot exist of a state that is permanent.
Lo, Light is permanence.
24 Light cometh unto all the universe as form on form:
it starteth in eternal time as men know time, it goeth forth unto
all eternity, never making haltings.
25 Light shineth in a darkness and men cry to one another,
Lo, a fire hath kindled; know that I tell you, the Light maketh fire:
fire maketh not the light: fire only kindleth in that Light hath
reached it.
26 Light is the substance of Spirit performing: great things
come of Light: it goeth forth unto all eternity and findeth chaos
in Eternal Principle: lo, it chargeth it with order and men cry in
wonder, Behold a new star flameth!
27 I tell you stars are light only as Light radiateth from them;
stars are not light when Light leaveth them to seek other
manifestings.
28 Verily the mysteries of Light are unconceived by mortals;
the Father sendeth His Word by Light; it performeth in atoms,
the sun hath his roaring in that Light hath found vacuum within
itself wherein it may manifest.
29 Light is that property in ether which hath the power to
conceive itself in form! I tell you more. . .
30 Light is that property in ether which maketh man to see
himself raised unto godhood: even as Light bringeth order
out of chaos, so doth it impact on man's spirit and reveal its
fraught divinity.
31 Man receiveth the Light and cometh to the Godhead, he is
swept in the path of it unto the eternal Principle of Love.
32 I say unto you, beloved, ye are born of Light: Light hath
made you mortal: it hath transcended mortal tissue and
implanted your spirit in that which was embryo: cell on cell hath
grown because of it, from those cells have ye bodies, they do
you their servicings;
33 Light cometh to the parent, I say, in conception: it raiseth
an embryo, lo, it is Form: it permeateth matter and increaseth
Form as growth: it supplieth growth with tissue; it openeth the
womb and bringeth forth the babe;
34 Light hath power to do that which is forbidden unto mortal
flesh that is clumsy in maneuverings.
35 I say that Light concerneth us as Instrument of Truth: Light
is our shibboleth for making men to know their godhood;
36 I say, even as it openeth the womb of mortal mother and
fetcheth forth the babe, so openeth it the womb of the greater
mother, Time: goodly works are children: she hath a mighty
offspring.
37 Ye have heard it taught unto you that I am Light of the
world, that no man cometh to the Father but by me; behold ye
have said, And is it not a symbol?
38 I say it was no symbol.
39 Behold the Truth Incarnate!
40 In Light have I manifested: in Light do I manifest: I give
Light commandments: I have made it Motive Servant.
41 I have taken waves of ether and fed hungry mouths
with food: I took Light and employed it; lo, did it come to me in
form not seen of eye, I blessed it and used it: men cried, We eat
bread!
42 Light waves are Thought Incarnate manifesting on and in
substance; I have answered the mystery. Thus Light hath
performance.
43 Men say, Lo, light cometh from the lamp! not knowing that
the vessel cometh first from Light;
44 Men say, The lamp is lighted! lo, the vessel holdeth fire
that is Light in an attic.
45 Grasp this well, my beloved. I say ye have use for Light
yourselves in the times that come upon you; I say Light is your
servant even as it is mine.
46 Now ye see Light manifesting as a substance and great is
your wonder; substances have emanation; that is Light in a
Form; Light is concerned with creating that form.
47 If there is Light I tell you there is Form: without Light no
form formeth; if such be apparent to eye of the countenance,
how much more hath it appearance to the eye that is
Spirit?
48 I tell you that ye have powers that come of me, making
Light-Forms already: at times ye do see such Forms: but ye do
know not their essence; ye greet not their meanings.
49 Light cometh unto you, making ideas for writings: ye
declare to the brethren, Lo, an inspiration honored me!
50 Verily were ye honored. My servants sent you Light and ye
made of it employments. Of such was your honor, that ye used
Light in miracle.
51 Study Light well: it holdeth life's secret; Light is concerned
in all that ye are, Light is concerned in all that ye do;
behold men will one day find that Light turned upon chemical
formation will make it live.
52 In that day they shall cry, Lo, we are as God! We create life
and give it! . . . but they give it not, beloved: they but use Holy
Spirit's radiance to give throbbing unto tissue; the Light is the
life: they but do a procreation.
53 Do they not perform it now, being parents unto children?
have they not possessed the principle already, but use it not,
fearing it?
54 I say emanation forever is Light; ye do make unto
yourselves lights for your directings in journeyings that are
earthly and bethink it not miraculous; I say lights can be made
for spiritual journeyings and men shall see visions.
55 I tell you that man shall discover the Secret of Life as he
exploreth Light.
56 Times come when the godlike have need of great powers:
I say it shall be given them in flashings of incandescent light
making them to feel a vast strength of mentality; ennoblements
shall lift them, they shall flood and surcharge them, they shall
have a vast feeling as of muscular powers, Light shalt shower
about them and they shall receive it;
57 Lo, they shall be radiant, having thus absorbed it
58 They shall strive as strong men to contest in a race, and
thereat shall go forth from them waves of ether, forming
substance.
59 Thus I did miracles but men's eyes saw not the Light that
visited me, being clumsy of perception.
60 Light hath power abstrusely, making impressions upon
the retina; lo, rays of Light are all about you and ye know it
not; great things transport themselves throughout the
universe by Light and men perceive them not, thinking Light is
only fire.
61 I say unto you, Light that the eye perceiveth as such is only
incandescent for the purpose of making the universe known to
men's senses: but incandescent Light is only Form and not
a Principle.
62 There are forms of Light that have power to transcend all
earthly substances as though those substances were mist; have
ye not heard waves of that which men call radio making
miracles for their ears? it is all making sound too low for the
eye.
63 Light transcendeth substance and giveth emanation in
Form which man hath not discovered.
64 Thus do I teach you: I tell you of secrets that are of me
and my company; I look into your hearts and know that ye
seek me.
65 Lo, do I seek you with an equal forbearance, with love, with
charity, with tolerance, for all that perplexeth you: why continue
ye in error?
66 I tell you to arise and be about your leadership.
67 Ye have wandered far from me in the years that have
passed: forces played upon you, they led you into error; I did
know that this was so, yet I said unto my servants, Be ye not of
saddened countenance; lo, the beloved return!
68 Lo, came ye back to me with hearts that were heavy:
ye did say, Lord, manifest in us that we may know our powers.
69 Beloved, beloved, I tell you power cometh!
70 Men shall say unto me, Are not these they who led us in
thought of Thee in principle? I shall say unto them, Lo, my
servants speak their utterings; do ye harken to their wisdoms.
All faith is given you to triumph over error.
71 These are mine utterings to give you a mastership: these
are benedictions to endow you with eminence.
72 Wouldst ye have me sing a petty song to give your wits
distraction? I tell you your wits are your passports unto glories:
your lamp of love is lit, why need your wits distractions?
73 There cometh a radiance, there cometh a truth, there
cometh a perception: these are the Godhead united in the finite;
these are the mysteries of mysteries that give Form its essence,
that unite to check blasphemy uttered unto Spirit.
