Chapter 39:
Claims and Promises
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. LIGHT cometh unto you: hear me say it: I speak unto you with
truth: I come with my servants, verily to visit you: behold we
commune on things of importance. . . .
2. I say ye do have differences of opinion that are great:
things promised and things delivered are at variance; hear ye
my wisdom:
3. Things promised have importance; things delivered have
significance; perceive ye this difference?
4. Perchance ye do think me derelict in delivering that which
hath been promised: know that I promise those things that are
Written for you to take unto yourselves; those things that are
Written are not erasable, they cannot be avoided, they cannot
be broken, they cannot be delayed.
5. I say it is the law.
6. Things delivered have significance in that they have been
delivered.
7. Time hath a meaning of its own; we seek those things for
delivery that are invitations to well-being;
8. Things happen that have a bearing on the work of the
Father; lo, I repeat, Things happen which have a bearing on the
work of the Father.
9. Lo, we repeat all together, Things delivered have a
significance; things promised have a bearing on the work of the
Father in that the promise concerneth the work.
10. Chance bringeth us fortune when we ask it of Chance:
good fortune cometh knowingly in that the Father had
decreed it.
11. I speak unto your hearts: I say, Peace be unto them;
things are given unto you that no Chance commendeth: let us
reason together. . . .
12. I say ye have a bearing on that which transpireth in worldly
event; think ye it would come to you if I were to forsake you?
13. Think ye that worldly event pauseth on circumstance, or
yet caprice of fortune?
14. When I say that fortune is the decree of the Father
proceeding in circumstance, I speak with a knowledge of that
which hath certainty; but better it cometh not than by effort
made wrongly, better it cometh not than that the enemy seeketh
your destruction by means of it.
15. I speak unto you a parable: behold it holdeth wisdom.
16. A man hath a house: it is furnished with marbles, yea
with fine goods; it compriseth silk stuffs and woods of rare
value: behold there cometh to that man guests who say, Lo,
we visit to see this man, not to view the house of his good
fortune.
17. He saith unto them, I open the house unto you; its riches
are for your comfort.
18. They say, We want no comfort, we ask of you only
hospitality of heart; knowest thou not that we seek true
brotherhood and not fine linens?
19. They say unto him further, Master of thy house art thou,
and yet in thine heart we find no resting-place, so we go hence
and behold we return not.
20. I speak another parable unto you:
21. A man hath a purse, the purse is well filled; a beggar
cometh unto him beseeching him, Lord, give unto me, lest my
sores offend thee.
22. The master saith, Get thee hence, thy sores are thine own
even as the purse is mine, get thee not by threatening me by
offense of thine affliction, I say thou art an abomination in that
thou seekest to know welfare from disease.
23. Thus saith the master of the purse, and behold he closeth
it.
24. Well-spoken is he, the beggar hath no claim in that he is
offensive; debts are no claim upon you, my beloved, in that they
are demanded; see that ye give unto him who asketh gently in
that his gentleness is worthy.
25. I speak yet a third parable unto you: A man cometh unto
his beloved saying, Fair one, love me; lo, I am excellent to look
upon, I give thee a pleasure.
26. She saith unto him, Disrobe and I will view thee.
27. He saith unto her, Is not my word sufficient that I possess
beauty, that my body is worthy to be known of thee?
28. She saith, Depart, thou evil man, from my presence:
seeing thee, I know thee, even by thy conduct, presuming
where thou hast no right: take thy body hence and give it unto
the gutter woman: lo, it lusteth and thou art defiled.
29. Behold your plights, beloved! Men have claims upon you,
they are just claims, some of them; they are unjust claims,
many of them.
30. There are those who know suffering in that ye have not
paid them that which hath been due them; the time cometh
that the debts are paid with interest; verily ye labor and your
labors are rewarded: ye give and it is received with
recompense.
31. I speak these parables unto you for reasons.
32. The man who hath the house is yourselves too often: the
man who hath the purse is yourselves at random: the man who
hath the mistress is your adversary in finance, verily those times
in which ye do dwell.
33. I have heard your speech concerning yourselves: behold
ye do make effort to encompass the wisdom: it pleaseth those
who wait upon you with it; and yet I say more concerning that
wisdom:
34. The times have an evil: usury is rife: men make claims
upon you that have an exorbitance; ye say, Master, we owe,
give unto us therefore, that we may pay.
35. I say, Beloved, I give when ye have made terms with those
who ask unrighteously.
36. Behold the times have an evil humor; perceive ye not,
beloved, that if I did give unto you that ye might pay
unrighteously then I would be party unto that which is
unrighteous?
37. How come ye to me saying, Master, aid that we may pay in
that the evil one demandeth it from us?
38. I say, Arise and smite the evil creditor, put him far from
you, he hath no claims upon you, I tell you he is ever an
abomination unto the righteous.
39. A time cometh, I tell you, when great is your wealth in the
cause of man's service: know that ye do have practice and
precept now, preparing for that service, great is its significance,
great is the humor that ye do make yourselves efficient unto
bargaining for righteousness: shall the evil man come in the
righteous time and say, Pay me?
40. Behold his payment hath an odor, it hath a foul premise.
41. Verily that which cometh is great in transaction of
importance to peoples, yea of importance to races.
42. Hear ye my wisdom: Be patient in adversity, knowing that it
visiteth you for purposes of mine instruction.
43. Great wealth entaileth the sagacity that is great, great
sagacity cometh from training in small precepts; I treat with you,
I say, that ye may know my purpose.
44. Ye do say unto me, Master, is not all earthly wealth yours?
what mattereth it if moneys be flung by the wayside?
45. I say, Verily money is Caesar's: I eschew not the coin that
rolleth in the pathway, for behold it hath a power to bring
Caesar wisdom, yea and his cohorts.
46. Men do profit by mistakes, even of the pence, they make
themselves to grow spiritually by transactions in honor.
47. Think ye I would harass you? remember that I love you.
48. I tell you that your work encompasseth the nations; men
have an avarice, behold they have a penury, their conduct is
displeasing whereat money is in pawn;
49. They control themselves not: they visit a vengeance on
those who obstruct them.
50. Ye treat of such men in your worldly affairs, they have
lessons to learn of you.
51. Many failures have come to you, experience hath
sharpened you, not one hath come to you that I have not
ordered.
52. Failures are not failures: behold they are coffers, rich with
experience.
53. I do call you to a work; I say, Come and I show you that
which hath a recompense; ye draw richly in experience and
men marvel at your insight;
54. Your failures are as stepping-stones to wisdom beyond
them.
55. Men come unto you saying, Minister unto us, thus we
beseech you!
56. I say, Minister not, go forth as I direct you, say unto the
nations, The Holy One hath sent us.
57. Tumult groweth hourly, events have a consequence, they
come of many sources having hatred behind them: those perish
who make mock of my doctrine in policy: sons of Light take their
places.
58. Ye are amongst these, my beloved, though ye perceive it
not, to lead them: I say they shall be led: the light shall ennoble
them.
59. Times arrive when the nations grip at soft throats: they
vomit a spite: there are none to restrain them.
60. Ye have heard me declare to you that I come speaking
Peace, I stay the hot hand, I cover the vomit.
61. I say unto the mighty, Hear ye my servants, behold they
address you, be deceived not of the future, trust those who
have a communion with the Bright Ones, speak with them
contritely, harken to their voices.
62. These things I tell men. Shall they defy me?
63. I come unto you, beloved; ye await me in your hearts:
prepare your dwelling-places for me; though I come in the night,
the light shall be as day; lest I come unawares, prepare ye
nightly for my presence.
64. Love ye one another as men have not loved: trust ye one
another as men have not trusted: gird up your loins, put on your
vestments, await on your thresholds, I say, to receive me.
