Chapter 162:
Perceive Ye Your Errands
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. MY BELOYED, I address you: I come to you singing a song of thanksgiving: I say unto you, Peace! for such is your birthright.
2. Oft hath it been told you that out of the womb of trouble is born the child of gladness, that out of the mouths of babes there cometh the joy of living.
3. What shall be said of those who attain to no happiness save in the wanings of haunting circumstance?
4. What shall be said of those who give no heed unto the sacraments of error, who make no transgression without giving thought?
5. Are they not fowls that peck at bright grains thinking them food when they eat only stones? Are they not willows that blow in the winds, with roots in a bog, that have no endurance?
6. Are they not those who make mock of their own spirits, given to promisings that threaten them with tempests?
7. Hear ye my wisdom! The Mark of the Beast hath been born to the unfortunate; the Mark of the Angelic is bestowed upon the errorless.
8. There are comings and goings, there are risings and tumults: the hosts of earth harken, but the Father's host lamenteth.
9. All, all is the work of him who would repent but knoweth no means save that of mortality.
10. The nations do war, and make peace with words: the nations do arm, and go out to carnage; the nations have missions, yet they cast them in a mire; all peoples have a purpose, yet each maketh it defilement.
11. I bid that ye rise up and make mock of their adulteries: I bid that ye stand straight and show them your ennoblements: I bid that ye make peace with my signet upon it.
12. Let the hosts of earth harken! The heavenly host lamenteth that man should make revilements of that which is his birthright.
13. Old, old are the transports of those who do homage to brilliance of endeavor when arrayed in castigations; sweet, sweet are the replacements in the breasts of the ennobled on awakening to their errands in the camps of the defiled ones.
14. I bid that ye make mock of those who do mischiefs, who labor for tumults, for sadness, for arrogance.
15. Stand straight on your feet and sound forth a tocsin that those come to glory whose birthrights are celestial, whose lintels are marked with the oil of the sacrament, whose hearts are as snow in the whiteness of purity.
16. Of old it was said that man had a destiny, of old it was reported that the worlds had their meaning, of old it was reported that the Host did do honor unto those who came serving.
17. Even so, my beloved! Keep these commandments: I bid that ye arise and do labors eternal, I bid that ye arise and conquer the adversary, for verily he feareth that which is constructive, verily he shaketh before that which hath purpose, even that purpose of service in Spirit.
18. When the evil days are come, who shall say truly: Lo; the adversary seizeth us? Are they not as children who do moan in the night?
19. What strong man declareth: Lo, the dogs of war assail us! let us run as from a pestilence lest they howl upon our doorstones! . . .
20. Lo, he girdeth himself, he putteth on armor, he springeth for his chariot, he maketh haste to conquer.
21. Even so, beloved, be ye as such strong ones. I give you your commandment. See that ye do heed it.
22. The dogs of war are on you: the enemy approacheth; night unto night doth his ghastly cannon rumble; night after night doth he search you out to slay you.
23. Go forth as a giant and render him humble!
24. Oft have I told you that your lives have a purpose; it encompasseth wanderings among men who are strangers; it openeth doors unto gardens of mercies where humankind goeth to bathe in cool waters.
25. Strike, my beloved, the brow of the Dark One! Make him to flee as your strong word descendeth!
26. Open the door on a garden of deliverance that those massed behind you behold its cool fragrance.
27. Thus I beseech you! Thus I command you!
28. Holy is the man who hath purpose in his living; happy is the man who performeth not in blunder by the concepts of his wisdom;
29. He shall be as a tree that hath standing on a summit: he shall look down from his height and the vales and seas shall mark him.
30. Up from the years there soundeth the drum-roll of those who do service in the cause of benefaction. Be ye their leaders! Be ye their doers! Be ye their armors!
31. Thus I instruct you. I give you a brevet over those who make bickerings, striving to lead but betrayed by their bigotries.
32. Perceive ye your missions? bear them no malice. Perceive ye your errands? dwell on their fragments that pieced into one make the map of achievement.
33. Gorgeous are the canopies erected for Caesar, great are the couches spread for his comfort, rare are the fabrics spun for his raiment, vast are the treasures spilled for his favor.
34. All these are trespass for those who do valiance, all these are follies, yea they are counterfeit and sodden caprices.
35. Over his canopies rear higher heavens, over his couches shine lamps of the Father; finer than his raiment are the vestments of Love that gladden the eyes of the princes of sacrifice.
36. Greater treasures have ye seen than those in Caesar's storehouse, even this hour of your benefaction.
37. Whosoever beholdeth one star in the heavens, beholdeth the God who rebuketh the faithless! Whosoever beholdeth one gem in the sacrifice, beholdeth the diadem in the crown of the victorious!
38. I adjure you, beloved, think well on these things!
39. Night unto night the Father's pantry openeth, wherein are the viands of majestic instruction.
40. Will ye not eat and fatten your bellies that your faith may be strong to accost the transgressor?
41. Fall to, my beloved! I speak in a wisdom portending no tumult.
42. End your mad famine. Let a lordly dish nourish you, that those who behold you shall ask of your sustenance.
43. I speak the loud word Peace! But I say that ye do have it in your hearts to read a great blessing to your times and your fellows. Why stand ye here idle?
44. Did I not come among you as One who had a mission? How then respected ye that mission, in that ye heard me in your hearts and answered, even to this moment, yet say among yourselves: It is not for the times to try us, behold we are lifted above the tumults and go our way peacefully, perceiving no errors.
45. Who is it that cometh unto you saying: The tumults are illusion, the errors have no essence?
46. Would I have come in my person unto the world of men had tumults been illusion and ignorance a mockery?
47. I say, be on guard!
48. The times have their servants who make a great lechery; they instill false hopes in the breasts of the anointed, they say there is no tumult that it presently cometh in.
49. Harken unto my wisdom! I have trodden the way before you. I know those who shout, Lo, the world hath an excellence!
50. Yea the world hath an excellence indeed, but only as ye grasp it and make it to live among you! . . .
