Chapter 169:
Seek Thy Godhood in All Pathways
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. MY BELOVED, know my spirit, descending and blessing you! I give you new wisdom, that your spirits may be valiant in the world as men know it.
2. Of old it was said unto you, Cast aside the world that ye may do good.
3. I say unto you now, Eschew ye not evil but take it unto yourselves, transmuting it to righteousness in the sight of the Father.
4. For there is but one power that cometh unto men; and if a man have it and use it wrongly, therein is he evil, but if a man have it and use it rightly, therein is he ennobled and his seed along with him.
5. I say unto you, beloved, the time cometh and the season matureth wherein man hath his vision of that which is evil and that which is righteous; he perceiveth the twain to be of one compound.
6. Hosts of angels visit him, saying unto him, I am that I am! . . . in me are all works manifest! I do that I do in witness to the Spirit, that it worketh through me ever for good or for evil! it worketh not otherwise.
7. My beloved, I adjure you: the sons of this world run a race in the Spirit. If ye be as those who go in one direction, thereby are ye evil. If ye be as those who go in another direction, thereby are ye blessed.
8. The Spirit hath perception of that which is the Way. The countenance shineth as the way hath correctness, the visage is darkened as the way hath a foulness. Perceive ye my words and give ear to my wisdom!
9. The light shineth in a great darkness wherein spirits of mortals do strive with one another.
10. I am the way, the light, and the truth; no man seeketh the evil way and knoweth me; no man seeketh the heavenly purpose and misseth my presence ensconced upon the highroad.
11. Hear ye my wisdom! Each son hath two fathers. One saith unto him, I am thy conscience; see that ye obey me in all things that ye do; one hath a vengeance to cast him from the household, saying in a wrath: Get ye hence, thou son of vileness, for thou wert of evil in the day that I begot thee; I deliver thee to brutishness and abandon thee to scorn!
12. Which think ye, beloved, an earthly son should reverence: he who becometh as his conscience, guiding him, or he who despiseth him for being born of flesh?
13. A man's sons are as the seed of all his days; he cometh in the morning and beholdeth them, he goeth in at noonday and seeth them of valor, he returneth at eventide and saith, Behold they are the mirror of myself! Wherein are they different from the sire who begot them?
14. Think ye, beloved, that a father of flesh despiseth his sons in that they are like him, unless he be of evil?
15. He approacheth them with gladness and raiseth them up; he singeth a song of praise for his parenthood; he saith unto her whose loins have begot them: Lo, our sons are of goodness in that we are goodly; as our hearts are of gold, thus our treasure hath compounded.
16. Cast ye not out from among you him who would say, I do bring you a gift!
17. Cast ye out from among you rather, him who would say, I do bring you a mirror to show you your evil; evil thou hast been, O son of flesh! evil thou must be, thee and thy seed and all who dwell with thee!
18. Is it not an abomination to say, We curry no favor with princes of learning, lest we hear of ourselves in ways that displease us?
19. Behold the true son of God saith, I seek in all pathways to find mine own godhood; I look in all valleys to find my lost heritage; I hunt on all hilltops to meet mine own spirit.
20. Lo, the east is the east, and the west is the west; so far hath man's spirit drawn him from that which hath terror at beholding itself.
21. I say that we have come unto a place where that which is divine in man seeketh more knowledge of that which is eternal; thus come we ministering, that he who hath a wish shall find its fulfillment, that he who hath a heritage shall come into that legacy.
22. Brighter days shall come, beloved. Heavier fruits shall ripen in the garden of men's hearts. Vaster books of knowledge await an earthly understanding.
23. Have I not seen it? Why doubt ye my vision?
24. Look not upon yourselves as sots in a vileness; look rather to yourselves as brethren at a banquet, yea a feast of goodness that awaiteth your partaking. For even as I went before you, preparing its viands, now stand I on the threshold and declare your meal ready.
25. Arise in your godhood and eat of my preparings! Arise in your cleanness and quaff the cup of radiance! . . .
26. For have I not set it before you as a servant in your household? have I not known hunger for the meat which ye do eat?
27. Thus speak I this hour. . . .
28. Take care in your hearts that ye know of the banquet. Take note in your lives when such hunger doth seize you.
29. Let us be tranquil, awaiting that moment when all sit down together, when the sound of the feasting shall well as an anthem.
30. For we are as those who have hungered many days; we are as those who have met a great feasting.
31. Arise, my beloved, and partake of instruction, that ye be not as mourners at that feast but as sons at that banquet in whose honor it is given.
32. Thus shall I address you till your bellies be filled with strong meat of knowledge, till your spirits be lifted with the clean wine of wisdom.
33. Peace and a goodly appetite attend upon your eating, for in that ye eat, ye are giants in stature. . . .
