Chapter 80:

Power in Cohesion

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. THE ROCK is riven; strange waters gush out; gold is in the foundation; there find ye much treasure; thin is the thread whereby ye are instructed; mark my words and be wise:

2. Again I say unto you, that which cometh, cometh.

3. Ye do have small concept of the power that lurketh in consideration for others; it is not mere comity, it is not alone pleasantness for strategic purposes, nor yet is it sentiment.

4. Consideration for others is a potent force having in it the charm of personality wedded to good sense, but love is of a different frequency when it applieth to consideration for others.

5. Love operateth to construct, to create, to build; consideration smootheth and sympathizeth and maketh easy the passage of intelligence one to the other; I would not have you ignorant concerning this power of cooperation in action.

6. Consider these things: when men have a purpose to gain they work industriously, looking neither to the right nor to the left; when women have children to bear they lean on reserve strength that is given to mothers;

7. When society would achieve an objective it bringeth to bear all the latent social forces that the end may be consummated;

8. Are not these things of love that hath strangeness of substance?

9. Why think ye that men say unto themselves, Let us labor in a company for thereby doth it profit us more than singleness of digging?

10. God hath unleashed a force in your spirits; it increaseth in stature as numbers are multiplied; but behold it increaseth not in the matter of numbers that two should do twice as much as one;

11. I tell you that twice two do the work of ten with two deducted; behold he that laboreth with his fellows and considereth their good multiplieth himself according to the substance of his longings that he should be omnipotent.

12. Therein is a mystery; see that ye do heed it.

13. Labors do multiply in such ratio as ye do long that they should increase; two come unto you and four are added, verily in the strength whereof they are inspired.

14. What mattereth the multiples? I say that when two or three do gather together and say, This thing shall we do that good may come, thereby are they enriched by a striking of power that cometh out of Cosmos; it attracteth the righteous verily as they do become magnet for the power.

15. Think not among yourselves, Behold we are weak, there are only the three of us.

16. Behold is it not true that one man and one woman, being normal of intercourse, can people a continent of lands with their increase? think ye such power cometh from themselves?

17. Can two say, We are only two, therefore two is the limit of our increase? I tell you that agencies of Cosmos manifest through them.

18. There come those who say, Let us cohabit together in righteousness that increase of good deeds be as our families, verily our progeny that attest to such righteousness.

19. Hath it not been true in ages that are hoary that two or three or four or six have overturned thrones and reared up great dynasties in that they said: Such is our increase in the works of our consciences?

20. I say unto you, Be not afraid of that increase which cometh; know that power accrueth unto him who is fearless, who seeth his issue and maketh it his shibboleth.

21. Power cometh to him that showereth as a fountain; yet I say further, it cometh unto him not if he giveth no thought to his brother's approvings.

22. Have I not heard your loving protests that ye are weak, and been anguished by them?

23. Who told you ye were weak?

24. What is this weakness but ignorance of your powers?

25. I tell you that ye do attract the powers in that ye do strive, in that ye give a course to your footsteps.

26. One heareth your message and two are ennobled: two go forth and tell it and six see the benefits: behold twelve tell twelve and presently a thousand come forth and acclaim you; what is this force that spreadeth the message? doth it spread of itself? what one of you dare say it?

27. I mention these things in that ye are troubled.

28. I have treated you as mine own, divulging unto you that which hath not been known to others; ye have heard and wondered that others have not known of you;

29. That is as it should be, under these circumstances.

30. People come unto you and treat you wrongly in receiving you; that is not their fault, I say hold them blameless; lo, they have no knowledge of that which hath been told you.

31. Treat them considerately; bear with them as ignorant children, no matter what attitudes it pleaseth them to show you; I say they have no knowledge of what impendeth with you.

32. I tell you, beloved, be ye not exercised concerning yourselves; trust me that I do protect mine own.

33. Consider the lilies again, as I have told you often: they are God's plants yet are they preserved in beauty until their days are ended; so shall it be with yourselves, my beloved.

34. Consider the lilies from the standpoint of longevity: lo, the blossoms break and fall by the wayside, the heel treadeth on them, yet the plant groweth on, season unto season, life unto life.

35. Is it not true that a plant hath many lives? what one among you dareth to say that if soil and sun be favorable, the plant that is the lily blossometh not forever?

36. What manner of man amongst you dareth to proclaim that the plant in its endlessness is greater than your spirits?

37. That which cometh, cometh, heralding the eternal.

38. Ye have everlasting arms beneath you; ye do work for the kingdom of righteousness on earth; ye have problems, verily, but they shall be solved.

39. Can a problem be a problem, lacking its solution? how know ye, I ask you, that it is a problem?

40. I bid that ye arise and transact your affairs, doing that which seemeth goodly unto you; lo, I send servants ministering unto you whom ye know not;

41. Teach them, and in teaching, profit; help them, and in helping, receive; ennoble them, and in ennobling, know the blessings of service which are compensation.

42. Abide in me, I tell you, knowing that neither harm nor distress cometh beyond your strength to bear. . . .
