Chapter 147:
Self-Command
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. KNOW THAT when I come unto each of you, I endow you with gifts; I say unto you, Arise and lead my sheep:
2. But I say more. Men have a passion for demanding a sign, which things be godly and which of their own manifesting; I say, they will ask you whence cometh your power to speak with authority: behold I give unto you the power to demonstrate, if the cause be worthy and the mission of moment.
3. Were not the saints so favored in this? were they not saints, in that they were favored?
4. I tell you that there have been those of every age who so manifested; the power hath been given them; they have taught with authority; whence cometh this beggary that saith,
5. The times are closed unto us wherein miracles perform, the ages have no redress, a drought hath come unto us of heavenly mercies, we are left without succor by those who should ennoble us?
6. I say there is no drought except as men will it; succor hath come to man times and again and yet he saith, There is no ego however proud that doth the wonders beheld of the fathers.
7. I tell you it is mischief.
8. The proud man saith, These wonders are known to me, that I should eschew them or take them at my temper; the wise man saith, I know not the signs, I know not the miracles, only that they happen and shower me with blessings.
9. Consider ye the miracles with which men would endow themselves. . . .
10. Earth, and air, and fire, and water, are equally of substance, but not as men know substance, not as men know matter; these elements have of themselves neither qualities nor properties; they are conscripts of a sort, cosmically saying to themselves,
11. We are bidden here at the behest of creative intelligence, we come not of ourselves, being led here unwillingly; what is this power that driveth us here?
12. Men call it God, knowing no better term for divine omnipotence.
13. I say there is no God except for children of the species, those who need form to conceive an idea, and I did give the idea form by naming it the Father, it being the progenitor of all goodly gifts.
14. Know ye that men will say, If earth, and air, and fire, and water, be of a substance created by that superior intelligence, whence cometh it, and why is it not possible for us to so manifest, being creatures of thought like unto the Father?
15. These, my beloved, are reasonable questions needing reasonable answers.
16. Earth, and air, and fire, and water, are elements sponsored by constructive love at the behest of reasoning beings so far above your mortal conception as to be divine of essence.
17. Now reasoning beings do not create by that which is their reason but by their love vibrations, for love hath a property to coagulate etheric particles and produce the thing called substance.
18. There are those among you who have said, I love a woman, being mortal of emotion: lo, such a one expendeth his thought upon her and birtheth in her a similar emotion, not knowing that he himself hath done it, creating within her an emotional essence that is higher than the physical but lower than the mental.
19. He hath caused her to grow in emotional stature by adding his vibrations unto her own so that there is more of the emotionalism in her when the love process is complete than when it was began.
20. Such a one hath given of himself to her and ye say she hath responded.
21. Nay, not so. She is grateful unto him for substance given her, verily a transaction that hath its root in benefit that cometh of addition.
22. I would make this clear unto you by a parable. . . .
