Chapter 95:
Theories of Deportment
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. I SPEAK unto you this hour on theories of deportment, having place in your lives of promise and importance; I speak unto you as one having knowledge of worldly conditions under which ye labor, not as one who dealeth in theory, having mind only for the spiritual abstruse.
2 I say there are those amongst you having cause for disgruntlements: errors of calculations have been made, greater than ye deem, in that men have reversed themselves; they have not kept their pacts.
3 I speak with advisement, not as one chiding them, but counseling you fraternally in that ye suffer because of their malfeasance.
4 Let it be known that as I made promises unto you, they were kept in the circumstance; but other promises have not come to fruition.
5 I say, chide not the makers thereof; wait for revelation. When ye do come to that place where the unkept is revealed, then will chagrin come that your faiths had their waverings.
6 Lest ye be facetious and speak of promises lightly, I tell you that naught hath been achieved unto the present that had not its basis in faith that was wholesome.
7 Let the words of your mouths be circumspect, beloved; wait for that which revealeth in circumstance; I make it known unto you by event that ye are called indeed.
8 Lest ye be deceived by forces of the adversary, harken not to false promises; we who have business with you deliver in circumstance; we make you no promises except such as demand your cooperation in grace.
9 We say unto you, Go and see. Ye go; in that it seemeth goodly unto you. Lo, event occurreth and the matter endeth.
10 There are those who say unto you, Do this thing and in that ye do it, your rewards shall be great. Therein is traffic, and a bargaining with goodness.
11 Those of the higher counsel say, These things appear to be excellent and worthy: if so be it your reason telleth you to eschew them, that is your deportment; if ye behold the profit and it seemeth excellent, those things consummate in that the doing of them is your essence.
12 The holy ones make no traffic with lecheries; they have no concern that the pact should be kept for the sake of the price.
13 Only those who have entered no pact need promisings.
14 Performance is of essence: it belongeth to that nature which hath come into flesh.
15 Keep your counsel, beloved; let your groups of loved ones perceive that ye have a knowledge of that which ye do; counsel with them as necessary, but take no thought otherwise of those about you counseling.
16 Hear my voice speaking in your hearts; these are my commandments:
17 Seek out no circumstance which entrappeth you; deliver unto him who asketh of you in circumstance; be faithless in performance when the adversary beckoneth; do good unto those who misguide you by correcting your activities silently to conform to my instruction.
18 Let no thought issuing from you perplex or dismay those working in my service; we have much work to do, we have much power to generate in small things before essaying great.
19 Harken not to those who say, Come about strange business; listen not to those who warn you that if your deportment is not pleasing unto their notions, ye are deserted of the Friendly Ones;
20 Such is blasphemy of a sort.
21 Those who have brought you thus far on a wearying journey never go hence, deserting you; lo, they would cease to be my servants if thus they erred.
22 Harken not to the counsel of the ungodly who consider only the material advantage; prosper in your own houses, not in the courts of the worldly thoughtless.
23 Now I say more: The Lord God hath chosen us to lead a great people; why tarry ye in circumstance devoid of honor?
24 Consider the lilies, as I have told you; they wait not for circumstances to show their beauty but pour it out, being lilies indeed.
25 Whatsoever cometh is just; whatsoever ye encounter is sent.
26 I say rise above it and be leader of the minions.
27 I seek mine own who have power to weld nations, to raise up a princely people, to make a great harvest of goodly works in ways of the spirit as well as of the purse, but I seek more;
28 I seek those who think aright, those who cherish no illusions about their own identities, those who make no mischiefs in the wake of fell circumstance, those who arise to the glory of each dawn of opportunities, those who descry on each day's horizon the sails of the world's treasure ship heavily laden with spiritual riches.
29 Selah, my beloved! Peace unto your hearts!
30 Come and go in circumstances thinking correctly, making no errors of spiritual judgments, arising to meet worldly affairs with confidence, bargaining not with Mammon, taking no toll of your divinities by untoward behavior.
31 Let this remain with you: that ye have heard my voice; which pronounceth no mischiefs.
32 Abide ye in me, knowing that all things await our plannings, infinite in prospect and beauteous in purpose. .
33 Harken unto my servants, give heed to mine instructions, open your hearts to the voices of the Faithful, close them with vigor to the tauntings of deceits.
34 There are ninety-and-nine who have no voice worth audience: behold there is one who cometh with Truth; wait for the one, though ninety-and-nine assail you with mockeries.
35 Troubles and times are their own augurers, the veil of deceit is woven by fingers with no patience to produce.
36 When one cometh loving you, he maketh order out of chaos, not chaos out of order; ever so be it. . . .
37 We have much to do in circumstance; let us do it cheerily, awaiting revelation of that which is decreed.
38 Beloved, harken to my voice: I call you as of old, knowing that ye answer.
39 Think not ye are neglected in that the times are not of kindness; greater indeed must be your bitterness ere ye know the secret of my delay in using you.
40 I would not have you think that I ever make mischiefs; I make only order for that is mine essence.
41 Twice two maketh four, twice four maketh eight; the things of spirit are ever positive, even as numbers in pure mathematics.
42 Things of spirit come not at suggestion; they come by merit and lengthy delay.
43 Harken, harken! the way of the transgressor is beautiful, beautiful, beside the ways of the deceivers who work without purpose and counsel in envy.
44 Those whose counsels are friendly bring order out of chaos, never chaos out of order.
45 Steel yourselves through circumstance; I say it is your arbiter, I say it is your mentor; it maketh you strong; greater things have I to give you when the moment arriveth; lesser things come first.
46 I call you to a harvest whereof ye have sown, not of error but of rectitude; pleasantly I call you, having thought for your futures.
47 Abide ye in mischiefs that seem of long duration? . . . . take thought of them as chimeras, lions of straw waiting in your pathways, beasts without claws with loud roars turned inward.
48 Are there those amongst you having dreams of mad brevets? . . . I say trust them not, dreams are but fancyings of thought, making pictures of imaginings that ye see with your eyes.
49 Trust them not, harken not unto them; they tell you no futures in circumstance unless ye do know the trend of circumstance and picture it unto your sleeping minds correctly.
50 Lo, ye do see vision of abstruse happenings; these are significant though they seem to you as dreams; but trust not to them, again I warn you, unless ye have knowledge of those happenings, lest they deceive you falsely.
51 Cometh a mountain before you, hiding the sun? . . . need ye a dream to tell you it is there?
52 Conscious thought is thought in conjecture. Lo, if I told this to you plainer, ye would think that I jested, but I speak sincerely knowing that dependence on dreams hath its root in folly.
53 I speak sincerely when I say that all things maturing foreshadow themselves; thus are ye tested to perform, knowing the outcome and altering to meet it. . . .
