Chapter 87:
Cherish Not Financial Aggrandizement
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. THIS is the Speaking that I utter for your solace: I say increase cometh to you; I declare that I send it;
2. I send all things for your keeping, to be held as a trust for that which performeth as your work among men; all things are to come from this trust; nothing is selfish; naught is of abortion.
3. All things excellent must manifest in excellence; things that are of evil are not for our attention.
4. I say unto you, beloved, great works must be accomplished.
5. Are ye cast down, that the harvest ripeneth slowly? verily I have known your handicaps and subterfuges to gain the best of circumstance; I upbraid you not, neither do I commend you for that which is your essence.
6. I say unto you, transport yourselves where I may send you by circumstance speaking even as my voice; take that which is given you, no matter how small, and profit by it in purse; wither not the flower of our love by preposterous assertings of yourselves in matters having no convergence in the ultimate truth of our mutual errands.
7. Take that which is given you, keep it as sacred to yourselves, accept it as ye have need of it, give unto others as they merit, in that they aid you in the work;
8. Give not unto him who followeth his own business selfishly, for the times have import and the harvest reapers must have wages;
9. Give, I say, unto those who merit it, but let their rewards be that they have contributed to a goodly purpose, not that gold is of substance within their possession.
10. I say unto you, greater riches come to you from unexpected quarters: use them to my glory in the hearts of those we love.
11. Except ye do love one another greatly, the enemy may triumph over you; agencies are at work that would separate you, involving you in scandals and debasements; they would cause you to criticize one another and look afield for your companionships.
12. Remember them for what they are; suffer no untoward thought to come between you, alienating you from one another.
13. I have given you moneys in the past and ye have expended them; continue so to do as I provide for you; but I tell the workers that vast sums of moneys given to them now, too quickly, would provoke agencies against them causing greater distress than that which now afflicteth them in certain types of poverty.
14. Nevertheless, I do send them moneys for reasonable needs.
15. Cherish no thoughts of aggrandizement financially; know that I do provide for mine own: when the way seemeth confusing to you, remember that I have said, I provide for mine own, but of the provision take ye no heed.
16. Do my work as ye have covenanted. All things shall be added unto you, all things that are goodly shall come in event.
17. I tell you now, Be of good cheer; the way openeth for your extraction from passing difficulty. Have I not opened it in times that are passed? I say unto you again, Have I brought you thus far on a wearying journey only to desert you with the high goal in sight?
18. Take no thought to the future outside of instructions specifically given you; abide in a sure faith and a strong understanding; know your chore and do it, perceive your talent and say, My Lord hath bestowed it in that it is excllent, the ways and means to exercise it shall be shown me.
19. Events of importance hover ever above you: ye do perform a great deed as the times give their blessing.
20. There come many men and women unto you with requests for help that concemeth the spirit; I bid that ye help them insofar as ye are permitted by time and circumstance, but give ye more thought to speakings and labors that teach the multitude as multitude.
21. Behold the wheat is golden and the sickle goeth into it; the grain is reaped as the sickle felleth it in ever widening circles;
22. One stalk hath its importance, but the field of wheat is made of many stalks; great is their feeling as the harvest is gathered in.
23. What wheat-stalk can complain, I was not reaped singly? what harvester would reap one spear of wheat and carry it to barns, and reap another and see that it is threshed?
24. I say unto you, Keep your vision upon the wheat field of humanity and see that it is harvested; one soul hath its importance, but so have many souls. Behold in time of harvest they are gathered into shocks of resplendent redemption. . . .
25. Persons come unto you and say, The Master of the Harvest hath issued His decrees, and ye fulfill them: therefore are ye of Him: therefore we ask that ye do this or that for us in His name ministering.
26. I say unto you, Treat with them tolerantly but remember that my ministers dispense wisdom unto those who deserve it; they know which merit attention and give it.
27. Treat not with those who say, We demand of you. They are false disciples and presently they beggar you.
28. Others come unto you beseeching you for discourses that they may secrete the wisdom uttered unto them and profit in their purses; I say give them no attention, consider them as thieves, deny celestial information to those who would use it in barter for coins.
29. Treat not with those who make demands upon you in any form, though relatives be amongst them; give unto them who deserve it, but to him who saith, Ye are beholden unto me, give nothing.
30. I tell you, beloved, these times are not as other times: there is mischief in the wind, there is sound of much murmuring amid the fields of summer wheat.
31. Ye are called to rise up in the times of a gale, to know whence it bloweth, to see destruction in its wake and yet not to partake of it.
32. Behold it hath been told you of old that much mischief bloweth finally on humanity: the thieves have thieved and the robbers have robbed, the foul man hath taken usury, the poor have been felled, folly hath her daughters who parade in fine raiment.
33. What have these to do with us? We are not of them. I say that we are husbandmen, we gather the wheat of humanity as the rich years have sowed it.
34. Times come upon you when the rich man crieth loudly: he teareth his hair, he rendeth his raiment: he demandeth of those in authority over him, What have I done, that these woes be visited on me?
35. Ye shall say unto him, You have seen the forsaken and you have not fed them, you have witnessed the perishing and have given them no succor;
36. Therefore are your sins of omission multiplied against you. Ye do reap as you have sown; the vandals arrive, and those who make pillage, they were once your neighbors and you gave them no greetings;
37. The dogs at your gate barked at their approachings upon errands of mercies, you beheld that it was clever to set such guards against them;
38. Now come they with malice that you so restrained them, they slay the watchdogs and trample on your substance. Can you blame them for that? They but learned their manners from those whose ears were deafened.
39. All, all is of accounting. No man escapeth it.
