Chapter 49:
The World Hath Need of You
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. TAKE that which is offered you: rejoice in the offering: receive it
with thanksgiving: transmit it with intelligence: make patient
converse with men that they may bless you:
2. Behold all manner of them come unto you saying, Teach
us of those wonders ye have learned of the beauteous ones,
give us their intercourse that we too profit by it.
3. Say unto them, These things are good and profitable unto
men, that they shall abide with one another in love, bringing one
another the first fruits of affection and desire.
4. They shall bring one another the first fruits of promises
beautiful, making their stature to grow in Spirit, they shall have
peace in their hearts, joy in their comings, gladness in their
goings.
5. Verily the Teacher of Old hath taught you that no sparrow
falleth to the ground without the Father's knowledge; how much
more important is it that man taketh note of his neighbor and
doth unto him as the Father doth unto the universe, sending His
rain on the just and the unjust, making His blessings to come
upon the beggar and the prince, solving riddles for the poor
man even as the wise one?
6. So say these things in parables and preachments, say
them in speeches, say them in writings, knowing that the eternal
ones do prompt you if so be it your tongues have a stammering.
7. The Father hath given them a charge, that they keep you,
that ye do the work of interpretation gloriously.
8. I tell you that already have ye ministered unto millions
whom ye know not of. Think ye that all who do harken to your
utterings have presence in bodies like unto your own?
9. How say ye unto the one who visiteth with you in his
person, We are alone?
10. How utter ye that those lacking bodies are wiser than
yourselves? doth a man gain to wisdom by losing earthly
raiment? are not your bodies raiment?
11. I say that ye are known of those who love you: verily the
Father hath spared you to dwell upon the earth, to bespeak
man the highroad unto His glory.
12. Verily do the eternal ones sit by your side, they tell you
whisperings of promises beautiful, they speak wondrous
beatitudes.
13. I say, Give them audience, credit their presence.
14. Verily they prosper you for that which goeth forth out of
your mouths.
15. Little children of the Spirit look upon you for guidance, they
hang upon your words, they have a sweet trust in you, that ye
give them gifts that are not of the earth.
16. Verily ye know that such is of truth.
17. The hosts of the eternal ones say unto you that hosts of
the hungry ones come unto you for nourishment: feed them as
ye do love the eternal ones, and as they do love you;
18. Through you the eternal ones feed them, from their side,
as they may.
19. Teachers are ye unto millions yet unborn. Harken to the
words of the wise ones addressing you.
20. They have witnessed you go from life unto life, progressing
in spirit, calling the faithful about you for works.
21. Ye have made manifestations in every age, ye have
sung sonnets and led armies, behold ye have bribed Satan with
fair promises and delivered unto your Lord a performance.
22. Ye have found immortality already in your hearts.
23. Open the gates of your being to the light that ye have
found, verily that identity that ye find again in flesh.
24. Brethren have sustained you, sisters are about you who
have ministered unto you; they have come into flesh to be with
you as companions and consorts: they have held up your hands
when men have cast you down;
25. They have cheered you when the darkness of many
doubts beclouded you; they are messengers of hope for times
yet to come.
26. Verily I speak of women ye know not, colporteurs of
service in years yet to be.
27. Thus have you companionship.
28. Ye are known unto the eternal ones of old, they do greet
you as one with them, they behold that ye do manifest in flesh
for the glory that cometh.
29. Concerning things earthly I say unto you, Embrace all
opportunities for treating with the eternal ones, for meeting with
them in spirit, for listening for their voices;
30. They come in love, I tell you; love maketh no errors when
its essence hath purity;
31. They train you for mighty works, they raise you up from
stumblings when your feet are weary from treading strange
pathways.
32. Harken to their voices that come in the Silence: they
speak with understanding, they perplex you not with
dreamings;
33. Dreamings are but ephemeral imaginings in thought,
giving entertainments unto your sleeping spirits; I speak not of
dreamings, I speak of realities.
34. Visionings are different: they come with a significance,
their lucidity startleth you, they make you to know Reality, they
give you an increase in that which is of Spirit.
35. Have visitations come upon you, showing what lieth
beyond the veil? such was not Thought in caprices of
dreamings.
36. No man hath seen that which is prohibited by the
limitations of his senses.
37. I say, the work of Spirit is peculiar: it traveleth from age
unto age in cycles;
38. It saith unto one age, Be skillful in art; it saith unto another
age, Be apt of understanding: it saith unto another age, Be kind
in your spirit, giving unto the poor, aiding the unfortunate;
39. It considereth the times and the necessities thereof,
it supplieth that which is most fruitful for man's knowledge and
development; it standeth on no promise, it exacteth no penalty;
it giveth unto every age that which is most needful.
40. Is it spiritual? I say the age hath it. Is it of intellect?
I say intellect sharpeneth. Is it of materials? The materials have
essence.
41. Doth numbness come upon your bodies? ye do have a
vibration with those who treat with your intelligence, they enter
your understanding through avenues that are varied.
42. Your bodies hear not, your ears treat with them often:
behold, marvel not that they possess you in vibration, for thus
power cometh, and is poured into you, thus cometh your stature
to walk with the shining ones.
43. Men have no knowledge whereof certain marvels come in
certain ages; they think chance performeth, not dreaming it
important that chance should work at all;
44. They come unto knowledge as unto a fountainhead; they
drink copious draughts; they look not unto the courses of those
waters, why they flow.
45. They take greedily, beloved, what the Father hath
provided; they think circumstance hath profited them; they say
luck hath caused it.
46. Verily the wise ones know the meanings of age-to-age
benefits:
47. Great artists come in one age, scientists in another, great
masters of logic do follow great poets, ever great inventors
follow great philosophers; thus the cycle hath it;
48. From age to age each flourisheth, each leaveth the world
endowed with a richness, till the pattern hath been worked on
the garment of Spirit.
49. Those things which do happen of the Spirit are decreed by
the host of those who have the earth-side in their keeping.
50. Men long have lain supine in indolent works concerning
matters of the spirit; they have taken the concepts and the
precepts of the fathers and said, Such are enough.
51. They have made them serve the children as the substance
of truth: they have asked not of that substance: their minds
greet no realities.
52. They have served false gods of pleasure, they have lain
with wanton daughters, verily they have done these things for
want of perceivings of true realities;
53. They have come unto Jordan in spirit but dared not
wash in the waters of its cleanliness, fearing currents of
doubting that would drag them unto drownings.
54. These things are not pleasant to those who do hold the
earth-state in charge;
55. They perceive man hath needs, they rebuke him for his
insolence, they come unto him without a ceasing, saying unto
him constantly, Behold, we send you prophets, follow where
they lead you!
56. They come unto such prophets and say, The world hath
need of you, get ye up and manifest!
57. Mayhap they decide that one of their own number can best
inspire the race by going into life, by showing the way unto a
beauteous salvation, by pointing the highroad to a spiritual
destination;
58. They do go into life as men, believing that thereby men are
most helped, seeing their own kind manifest in honor and
performance;
59. They seek themselves no riches, they ask of men no
favors, they treat with the rich and the poor alike, they do their
missions well.
60. Behold they go out of life as they came, they return unto
the Host, they study with the Host that which hath been
rendered, they say, It is excellent, or they say, Verily, verily it is
not enough.
61. Hear my speech unto you: I tell you that ye be performing
such sojourns in flesh for the Leader's purpose of treating with
men for peace among the nations, for an increase for all, for a
beauteous splendor, race unto race.
62. Lo, it is decreed that warfare shall cease: the Host hath
decreed it, for war no longer bringeth forth self-sacrifice or
heroism that hath value; it slaughtereth the innocent, it maketh
the poor to suffer.
63. Strange things are about to happen upon the earth; man
goeth to and fro as never hath he gone; men seek out one
another for profit or for pleasure; they indict one another for
habits of indolence, for sloth, for physical disability, for queer
customs, for strange manners and anomalies of spirit.
64. These things are common unto all men, but each seeth his
brother alone as peculiar, he seeth not himself.
65. Know ye that the time cometh when all men shall speak a
tongue that the Host shall provide for them, they shall be wise in
their own wiles, they shall lift up the meek, they shall harness
the strong.
66. Ye do go unto the nations and say, The Teacher hath
ordered that this striving shall cease, give thought to your
manners, take note of your tumults, let the righteous have their
day, ye have suffered enough.
67. These things are revealed unto you in that ye are the
beloved who have volunteered to go into flesh, to perform the
labor that approacheth; I tell you the eternal ones have loved
you in that ye do it, they have sustained you in dilemma.
68. They went unto those who had your destiny in jeopardy,
they made a bargain saying, We give you a life for a life, take
those of us whom ye please but let our servants go.
69. Lo, there have been those who perished for you, that ye
might be of freedom to undertake the labor: now ye understand
not, but in time shalt ye know it: I say ye have errands to
perform making straight the crooked: when they are performed
then the crooked will be straight.
70. Ye have labor to perform beyond earthly understanding:
the ones of eternity bid that ye do it, secure in the trust that
when ye do return unto them ye shall perceive that what was
provided for your experiencing was divine in ordainment,
seeking the way to accomplish the mission.
71. Is it not enough? I tell you there is no mission so glorious
as that of service to the race: ye have tasted of such glories:
ye shall taste of them again:
72. Ye have served at many Calvaries: ye have watched by
many waters when the streams thereof were swollen, verily
when man could not make his fording to glory because of the
waters that swept him away:
73. Ye have watched many sunrises with your Lord but none
of them so beauteous as that which cometh presently out of the
east.
74. Those who sent you, adjure you: they have said, We have
loaned you in that we likewise have loved the Father's world;
return unto us in Spirit with the embassy accomplished, thus do
we loan you, see that ye heed it.
75. Matters must mature in time and event: trust that they
mature; rest secure in the promise that time bringeth event, that
event hath its burden to deliver unto time.
76. Ye do go as in an armor, facing the foe of Error, seeing
naught behind you, beholding none around you, looking ever
forward, knowing the east that it blossometh the sunrise.
77. Those who see you in perspective encourage you by
telling you that He who seeth all things well, sendeth you the
order, even of your performance, even of your excellence: again
I say unto you, Is it not enough?
78. Ye do your embassies, from day unto day, from week
unto week; the hot foot bruiseth, the way hath a pestilence;
I say ye go singing, I say ye go trusting; verily I say, ye go
trusting and singing, knowing that those who love you come to
you in love, that they lighten your circumstance and heal your
bruised instep. . . .
