Chapter 176:
Suffering Bringeth Only Wisdom
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. SO I have spoken. . . .
2. I have given you a promise, I have sung you a song, I have bidden you to council with those who know wisdom; I have known of that wisdom; I have given it my hand. . . .
3. Yet I say again, Greater wisdom shall come than this which ye have heard as the day draweth nigh for the Plan among men.
4. Perceive ye, beloved, that the thoughts of your hearts are as manna for your souls; as ye ask, wisdom cometh; as ye seek, knowledge shineth; thus are ye fed by the bread from many waters; thus are ye slaked from the thirst that hath plagued you.
5. Greater work hath man to do; greater leagues hath man to run; in that ye bend to the yoke of your service, thus endeth the labor, thus halteth the torment.
6. I say unto you, be calm, be patient, be noble, be strong.
7. The bow bendeth soon and the arrow flieth swiftly; the weak have an arrow that heweth down the proud.
8. In that ye bend to the yoke of your destinies, thus have ye an arrow, thus bend ye the bow.
9. In the knowledge that ye are called to plow a goodly furrow, I bid that ye plow it and know the wheat's increase.
10. Presently come those who take the plow from you; night hath a solace, the labor is stilled; now I say, plow in zeal, looking only forward.
11. Harbor no designs against your rich plowing, but perceive the true meaning of that which ennobleth you.
12. I have said that ye have a charge to keep, a lamp to hold burning, an end to serve, a goal to win at the end of many furrows; behold I have said more:
13. I say that ye shall in nowise come out of the world except ye be adepts in that which wrought your entrance.
14. The world thinketh not, Whereof have I consciousness? It saith unto itself, Behold the Lord God ordained us to suffering and we will have naught of Him.
15. I tell you that it is blasphemy to say that the Father hath wrought suffering; suffering cometh only that mankind may have wisdom, to look to its error, to discern its own fault.
16. Further than this, I say not, beloved, for in that ye have heard the brethren, so have ye heard my Spirit in communion.
17. I am ever that which enlighteneth and instructeth; I am the Book, behold I am the Lamp; I am he who readeth, I am he who speaketh.
18. I am All in All….an eye for your foreheads.
19. Arise and be exceeding glad that it is so.
20. And now all together I tell you: Go in peace about that which engageth you; presently ye shall see the Father’s works made manifest.
21. A balsam shall assuage the wounds of your patience.
22. I breathe on you my calmness. . . .my poise is your redemption. . . .
