Chapter 31:
Little Fears Are as Rodents
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. BELOVED, be kind to those who walk in darkness: they are
children of terrors who need your everlasting help;
2. Strive not against them; hand them up to higher things.
3. Ye have been called: the calling hath consequence;
he who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
4. We are brought before the seats of judgment: God calleth
us to give accountings of our trespasses and charges.
5. I say unto you, Be not cast down if men revile you and in
my name persecute you; I lead mine own and they suffer not
in spirit.
6. Behold those who tell of me shall know a sweet substance,
their wits shall not revile them, they shall be apparent each unto
the other, they shall explain of my presence to sheep that
have strayed.
7. Will I not know them and cherish them for that?
8. Go ye into the world and say unto men, Lo, the Master
sendeth us unto you telling you to be strong of heart, to harken
to his wisdom spoken in event; he cometh unto you in spirit,
Love performeth in substance before the eyes of many nations;
9. He saith to men, Peace! Good will on earth! More he saith
in your hearts.
10. I tell you, beloved, the times are ripe for reaping: that which
is common shall be common no longer: the world shall know
changing: the lives ye shall enter shall hold goodly promise;
think not to it now but recall that I have said it.
11. Have I not told you that ye do manifest for me unto
listening millions? I perceive vast audiences listening whilst ye
speak, taking your words, living by them beauteously.
12. Think ye I do not love you in that ye have power thus to tell
humankind its destiny?
13. Ye have heard me say that men shall rise up and
persecute you for that which ye shall tell them: I say I have
heard them in their plans of this moment: they conspire
together.
14. They say among themselves, Let us discredit these who
come boasting, vilely do they speak of spiritual things, having
no knowledge of God as we see Him.
15. Beloved, harken unto me: The speakers are not vicious,
they are children with a terror, they make themselves a
petulance, they lack concept of divinity, they have their ideals
and seek to protect them.
16. I say that I have endured of them myself; I know the
plannings of their hearts; I have sorrowed in their learnings;
beloved, hear me . . .
17. The godlike shall come to events in their lives wherein
men shall say, These have a power not given to all by Nature,
therefore are they of evil, let us rend them and stamp
on them, let us make away and stone them, else do they defile
our sanctuaries by greater performance that mocketh our
weakness.
18. I tell you they are children who fear the unseen, they are
babes in a woodland with a darkness upon it, they shun the
unknown in that it disturbeth the floorbeams of their logic.
19. Never are they open to censure, beloved; remember,
I adjure you, they are open to Truth.
20. Do ye fear the dark jailer whom they shall send to seize
you? doth the judge who declareth you wear a veiled
countenance?
21. Peace unto your spirits! Are jailers not men who discharge
a goodly office? do judges not judge that the evil man be
shortened? how say ye, I am taken of the jailer, or, the officer
hath seized me?
22. Verily the officer seizeth at a bidding, he doth his labor, he
is only a servant for those who want protection from wolves in
sheep's clothing.
23. Are ye wolves in sheep's clothing, that ye do need the
vestment to sit upon your sacrifice, even your endeavors that
man shall be ennobled?
24. I say ye shall be saved from the smiting of a lechery, ye
shall rise up and come in to those who thought you perished;
25. Thus it shall be with you, when ye keep my
commandments to succor those needing you.
26. Hear ye my words: I do caution you further. . .
27. The sister of the boldness shall seek to entrap you, she will
beg that ye lie with her, she will offer you an amulet.
28. I say that confusions shall come to those defiling you;
be considerate and advising, and tolerant and generous;
they will see your good works and their manners shall rebuke
them.
29. Not so those daughters who have evil in their hearts; they
shall rise up to smite you, they shall deal you a blasphemy,
verily they shall make demands upon you for their
services, saying to you, Pay us or know infamy; lo, we will
launch it!
30. Do ye offer them succor? I say they shall ensnare you;
they shall shriek of your false promisings.
31. The evil cohort shall pay them for their emptyings upon you
in phrases confounding you, telling the righteous that ye are of
strategies in your careers, that the Truth is your trickery, that
moneys entice you, that ye pass to and fro with vomits in your
privacies.
32. I say unto you, beloved, let not your hearts be troubled: we
have a mission that encompasseth the nations; the earth is our
workshop; the hearts of the distraught are our tools and
materials.
33. Goodly sculptures shall arise within that workshop's
privacies, the forgings shall be mighty, those who do mock you
shall stand mocked by your stature, the evil man shall know you
and his whore shall run from you, they shall take themselves
hence and their soddenness shall purge you.
34. Seemeth this foolish in this hour, beloved? even so was
I foolish to those who once knew me.
35. Even so said they amongst themselves, He wrought us a
cabinet and collected his pence; how thinketh he then to give
the world balance, to redeem it from error, to raise it to
godhood? is not this the lad whose father rebuked him? we
heard the rebuke and he wept like an infant.
36. How thinketh he then to save mankind from weeping?
whence cometh this bombast to save earth from sorrow?
37. Harken, harken, beloved: We come unto the Father with
accountings of good deeds performed in our flesh.
38. Arise and take your heritage of Truth: understanding is
your portion: men have said unto me already, Master, give us
more of these who speak unto us these visionings.
39. Honors come unto you, increments visit you, verily it is
I who do comfort and sustain you, my servants are your
servants, they stand about you thickly.
40. Great visitations come unto you suddenly, whiteness that
hath meaning not of color giveth you clear vision, figures move
and give you wonderings, lo, ye glance upward and visions
have reality. . . .
41. I tell you that when such Light doth give you its radiance,
ye do enter the portals not seen of eye, ye do glance into vistas
that mean eternal Spirit.
42. Men are alarmed by little fears, beloved; I tell you they fear
in that they are little; fear showeth them their weaknesses;
it mocketh at their flesh; it remindeth them always that flesh
doth confine them.
43. The cataclysm cometh and their fears are made great, yet
behold it discloseth their littleness as well.
44. What are these to Spirit?
45. I tell you that little fears are as rodents gnawing at the
ropes by which men climb to heaven.
46. Know ye that men have always a fear that that which they
fear is naught but illusion.
47. Men fear illusion in that it hideth the pitfall behind it.
48. One cometh to you who saith, Lo, I am your friend,
I guide you around the pitfall! Do ye not accept his guidings?
Wherefore do ye accept them?
49. Is it not true that he feareth no illusion? He knoweth the
pitfall, that its edges are firm, that he can pass around it;
he walketh forth strong in confidence that true sight is his
portion.
50. I tell you, he is strong who saith: Illusion is a friend who
hideth the pitfall for some, but giveth me courage to penetrate
that which is unknown.
51. Even so, beloved, did I pass through Illusion, verily the
illusion that mortal men call Death; lo, the race thinketh that
Death is a pitfall, or verily the pitfall lurketh behind it.
52. I take such by the hand and say, Come with me and trust
me, we go through the Illusion, we skirt the dread pitfall; have
I not walked it? do I not know its placement?
53. Lo, men hide their faces, they drop down their heads; they
say, Master, we fear no pitfall whilst thou art leading!
54. I say, Bow down your heads and worship yourselves! lo,
ye have powers to skirt many pitfalls, being strong in your
confidence that naught lieth onward to serve you an injury.
55. Ye have heard it said that men have alarm at small noises
but terror cometh not at great; hear ye my wisdom.
56. Little whisperings distract them, great symphonies have
power to raise men to ecstasies; great thunders bespeak
majesties; great rumblings portend earth's manifesting
cataclysm, yet men blanch not, knowing others suffer with them.
57. Small noises worry the separate heart alone in its closet:
each person hath a devil, mayhap it be a relative displeased,
mayhap it be a soul who hateth him for visiting favors on one
more beloved, mayhap it be an unruly spirit who thinketh
he seeth a vantage to be gained by vilely obsessing his brother
in flesh.
58. Is it not true that men have tempted one another for hire?
would they not tempt one another for spite?
59. I say that such come unto their brethren in the silence: they
whisper of calamities, of pitfalls and quicksands, of lions in the
pathway: lo, the spirit quaketh and the heart taketh pause.
60. Vibration lowereth, man is seized with terror, he fleeth
his closet wherein is his tormentor, mayhap he fleeth his life in
his frenzy.
61. I say unto you, beloved, that great sights and great noises
have small powers over individual fears, for lo, suffering borne
with others loseth half its sting: but small fears at small terrors
findeth out the soul, small whisperings quake the spirit, the
foot-tread passing without the foot sendeth forth the power to
wreck the stoutest heart, for a man then feeleth no strength but
his own.
62. Thought Incarnate, I tell you, hath its word for each soul:
Man is of Light, he is mortal of fiber, he seeth incandescence,
he feeleth radiation, he knoweth permanence of vision to
witness Eternal Function;
63. Thought Incarnate saith, Man hath knowledge to visit Light
upon himself, to take it in his spirit, to wrap his substance in it,
to let it be his armor, to lift himself by it, to dispel all illusion, to
walk nobly in its radiance, to become as the Father, knowing
good and evil.
64. I teach you this hour that which ye shouldst know.
65. Ye have pleased me by your inquiry: ye have come unto
me seeking solace in quandary: I have told you that Light
answereth every enigma.
66. Behold then your cue upon that which perplexeth.
67. Day unto day ye do go about your labors: night unto night
ye await my soft footstep.
68. I say it is my pleasure that I have those I love, waiting to
hear my voice in their hearts.
69. Tranquillity is your portion, love is your protection, further is
my Spirit that cometh in to you, comforting. . . .
