Chapter 73:

Mine Is the Symbol

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. HEAR ME further: that which cometh is fruit of a goodly tree, bearing even in the present.

2. Harken, harken, chance words and phrasings are heavy with meaning! verily, verily, signs and omens are present, behold they are apparent!

3. Nine hath its portent; I say it hath its omen.

4. Nine is the symbol of eternal waters wherein bathe the Beauteous Ones! nine is the symbol of living fire wherefrom arose the Beauteous Ones! nine is the symbol of opening skies from which descended the Spirit on Jordan!

5. Nine is nine. Nine is nine.

6. Over the waters appeareth a form, radiant of texture, bearing to mankind a Lamp and a Book; thus doth it speak:

7. Hosanna! Hosanna! The Nines of Creation have come into their heritage! The Nines of Creation have known the triumph! The Nines of Creation have drunk of the waters!

8. Their beds are made easy, their fountains are anointed; let us sing and make music for we reach unto the Infinite!

9. Hosanna! Hosanna!

10. Apples of gold in pictures of silver! Hosanna! Hosanna!

11. Defile not thy flesh with the sinnings of thy spirit; weaken not thy stamina by the whoredoms of thine heart; give not thine understanding to the tenets of wrong reasonings!

12. Hosanna in the highest!

13. This is the prophecy: Ten thousand shall come and one shall be saved: a million shall fall, and one falling shall be lifted!

14. This is the prophecy when cometh the Great Speaking: The seas shall be opened, the Beast shall breathe fire, the mountains all smoke; verily shall come the holy ones performing sweet music, yea upon lyres shall they render anthems!

15. Cast up your dead, O sea, and make music, ye mountains, for there hath come unto you the Holy One of Israel!

16. Selah! Selah! He who was risen is risen afresh.

17. Thus saith the prophecy.

18. Tablets of wood with writings of diamonds! Thus saith the prophecy. Selah! Selah! We who are given great mysteries leap to understanding.

19. The far night crieth, the day hath a sob, many do mourn but few know their comfort.

20. Father slayeth son, son escheweth father, dark night encompasseth, yea a night on the nations;

21. World tremblings break; sufferings continue till the lintels of earth be washed afresh with the Blood of the Holy Ones making speech by symbol.

22. Teach not my people whoredoms! obstruct not my priests and priestesses who blow on golden trumpets! let the balm of Gilead endure forever as a panacea among the nations! Selah! Selah!

23. Harps play, trumpets blow, peace showeth a radiant countenance, night vanisheth, the waters of the sea are clear, blood disappeareth into incense, all that is shall rejoice!

24. Mock not my servants, neither man nor handmaiden, for they perform a goodly dance before the dais of the conqueror! Selah! Selah!

25. Mark ye, my beloved, the prophecy hath its meaning.

26. Temples of the heart are sacred unto eternity, music of the spheres greeteth the new morning; light transfigureth mountains of blessings; all that is shall be sanctified; the cycle closeth and ye return to us awaiting you.

27. Selah! Selah! Ye manifest, ye manifest! What I have said is the Law and the Prophets.

28. Out of the mouths of sucklings cometh wisdom; out of the Rock of Ages the living water gusheth, even the Fountain of Beauteous Spirithood.

29. Ye who have heard have a sign on your foreheads. It behooveth you to know that ye have pledged with your blood and I have paid with mine.

30. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon, that the tempest groweth hourly.

31. Great storms portend; the world contendeth; there is no peace: let the righteous man make his bed, and the evil man his prophecy.

32. Verily are ye chosen! open your ears to understanding! abide in your knowledge of heavenly mysteries! grow in stature! pursue the faith!

33. My heart is on your foreheads. Selah! Selah!

34. Casting pearls before swine hath an evil tendency; casting swine into palaces is thrice abomination; swine shall eat the pearls and be choked; I tell you they perish, whilst ye do eat the fruit of a tree that is goodly.

35. Harken to mine understanding: I see the future unrolled as a scroll; I read the thoughts of the hours that come when the Son of Man be risen!

36. The fountains gush, wheat groweth in the fields; that which hath its heritage in love is greater of value than the mines of Solomon; that which hath its heritage in hate is as the chaff that wafteth when the wheat is winnowed; that which riseth on the ruins of old customs is the Eternal City of men's faith in one another coming in glory, yea even in a sunrise.

37. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!

38. Mark ye, beloved, the hour groweth late, but presently dawn cometh; verily I say, dawn cometh, dawn cometh, dawn cometh!

39. Seek ye the kingdom wherein are the princes who have said: We are beholden to the dawn as a field of flowers to a shower!

40. The kingdom hath large compass; the day hath vast boundary.

41. Ye are my beloved, in whom I am well pleased!

42. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the streets of Ascalon, that the tree of goodly fruit is your love for one another.

43. That which is Written is a page from man's history, not a leaf from a parchment.

44. In my Father's house are mansions: yea, in mansions of marble with windows toward the sunrise we go to dwell amid sweet spices and soft music; they are our inheritance from a wearying journey.

45. Have ye a tumult? know that it is prophesied;

46. Have ye a desiring? know that it prospereth you;

47. Have ye a longing to rest in my bosom? I say ye shall rest in many bosoms of the Faithful when the span of earth is run and the tempest hath its succor.

48. These are my words to you: take them and know wisdom.

49. I have come and gone on many journeys; I have greeted my beloved; I have found them on the highroad; I have seen them in the hedgerows: I set mine house in order, that those who know me may find me in their resting place.

50. We are the singers, we are the rejoicers!

51. Our portioning hath come to us; we have greeted the Morning. . . .
