Chapter 55:
All Auguries Are Not Omens
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. MY BELOYED, be tranquil; that which cometh, cometh of its
augury; wouldst ye have it otherwise?
2. Hath the Father not provided that there should be seasons,
that there should be omens?
3. Why think ye, beloved, cometh the omen in its season?
hath the Father not provided that ye shouldst be warned, that ye
haste in preparing for that which is to be?
4. And yet harken, my beloved: all omens are not auguries,
all auguries are not omens.
5. The omen hath its witcheries, the augury hath its benefits;
the omen saith, Prepare ye for a woe; the augury saith, That
which appeareth, cometh of abundance; that which happeneth
to us giveth cause unto our reason that it should thus happen.
6. Beloved, be wise! The augury hath its omen when men are
diseased, when they screech a foul tocsin, when they give or
take a lechery, when the proud are cast down, when the
morning hath its darkness.
7. I say the augury is blessed when men are cast upward,
when they can lift up their faces, when their voices chant in
unison, when the world hath a fairness, when the Light cometh
in.
8. Ye have a fell suspicion that augury is omen, that the Light
hath a bursting only to shatter, that man hath his redemption
concealed in his woes, that the cruel one plagueth him, that his
race holdeth rottenness, that the funeral pyre receiveth him and
there are none to mourn him.
9. I tell you the denizens of darkness have said that this
should be.
10. Omen is omen, verily, verily; I say augury is blessed in that
it conceiveth you in radiance, it lifteth you up, it giveth you a
gladsome song, it portendeth great triumphs, it singeth as the
linnet, it giveth grace as one who hath suffered but hath come
to perceive the glory of his strivings.
11. Augury hath augury unto itself: it perceiveth the fair scene
and the bright countenance; it saith, The Father hath desired
that ye shouldst know talkings, that by the speech from deft lips
ye mayest visit your inheritance and behold its goodly
substance.
12. Beloved, I talk with you further of augury:
13. I say that augury hath a blessedness in this: it prepareth
the wise man to behold his own wisdom, it raiseth the fool and
giveth him sound reasonings, it striketh no false note within the
corridors of spirit but saith unto the righteous:
14. Thus hath transfiguration come to be known of us; thus
have we battled and thus have we triumphed; we have gained
to a knowledge of effects out of causes; our eyes have gained
talent; we rise up in the morning and lo, it is our treasure to
know the day's holdings.
15. Little men of little manners do say: All days have a
blackness; there is no profit in them; we see only evils; there is
no track through the tumults.
16. Great souls say: Behold we have striven and gained
accolades by strivings; we have come to our own spirits and
discovered their talents; we have opened the cover of a goodly
dish and behold by its fragrance do we know its containings.
17. Augury is incense burned before the altar of the
pleasure which cometh; augury is prescience born out of
tumults.
18. Ye have striven on many battlefields, beloved; ye have
looked on many corpses; behold ye have seen the enemy strike
at mankind in his blackness.
19. Augury saith, The battle turneth presently, the victory
cometh in.
20. What is to be, will be: the Father hath decreed it.
21. I tell you that in that He hath decreed it, beloved, come
the signs and the seasons opportuning you to valors. . . .
