Chapter 188:
Man Leaveth His Darkness Behind
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. NOT EVERY man who saith unto me: Lord, Lord! is enhanced
in my favor in that he imploreth me, but he who cometh unto
me and saith: Master, I am humble; show me the way by which
I may lift myself into thy favor, the same is my brother in whom
there is no guile.
2. I say unto him: Behold I bid thee to go thy way in
circumstance; open the coffers of the spirit within thee that
pointeth to the salvage of the talents therein buried.
3. Behold I will give thee a crown of Eternal Life in that thou
manifesteth even to thy sorrow.
4. The Father showeth the talents by the instincts. Life
groweth the soil wherein they find flower. I give you my peace to
open the blossom and bless you with increase till your wealth
hath engulfed you.
5. I beseech you to tarry and know the omnipotence;
I beseech you to harken and let your ears feast you. . . . .
6. Hath it not been said unto you that out of the womb of
darkness is born the morning's splendor? when have I told you
otherwise but that man in his progressing leaveth his darkness
forever behind him?
7. My beloved, know wisdom! Take unto yourselves no evil
thought that the rigors of men are sent to upset you. Take unto
yourselves no wicked counsel that the times have a bitterness
in that men would so taste them.
8. I say unto you as I have said before: a greater time cometh
when the darkness of night shall know its destruction, when the
Minions of Light do come bearing torches.
9. I say unto you that even as men have sowed, so also have
they reaped; as they have been selfish, so now plenty is denied
them;
10. Yea, seven times seven!
11. But those who have sowed a goodly seed have barns filled
with substance; those who have preached a kingly word have
sagas meted unto them, even that poesy that ennobleth as it
ringeth.
12. Whenever was it told you that man in his augury
proclaimeth his own tumult? was it not said rather, that he who
hath a branch shall also have a bough? that he who bringeth his
brother ennoblement is seven times ennobled?
13. I speak unto you as one who came into the world that the
world might have its radiance. I speak as one who came
ministering unto men, that those who minister unto me behold
their own advancement.
14. Is it not true that every house of size is wrought of many
timbers? is it not apparent that every soul's nobility is wrought of
many mercies?
15. Wherein have ye been remiss, my beloved? . . . in the
marts of trade wherein ye attested unto me not? in the silence
of your closets wherein ye prayed while your spirits knew
misgivings?
16. I tell you that a nobler vision cometh than that ye have
beheld; a nobler vista spreadeth than that ye have set foot on.
17. Yea, verily a greater transport lieth in store for you than ye
have yet cuddled into your bosoms---in that the Son of
Man delayeth not to acquaint his own with the pathways of
their destinies, that he delayeth not to quench the fires of
doubtings that arise in a world where the Serpent striketh
darkly.
18. My beloved, ye have come into an inheritance with honor;
ye have set a vast price on that which hath been rendered; ye
have known a great mastery over that which was mischievous,
which bore you no fruits in the parching of misgivings.
19. I say that ye have honor for knowing your receivings,
ye have joy among the brethren for attaining to your statures.
20. Yet I tell you more. Behold ye have said that ye toil and ye
reap not, ye have turned a fruitful furrow and a lean soil hath
beggared you.
21. Is it not meet that ye shouldst rest awhile in knowledge,
beholding your plantings, that the sun take the seed and lift a
vine from it?
22. Are ye the sun? or, are ye the seed? are ye not the
husbandmen who give unto Nature the lure of her
maneuverings? How think ye then that by your efforts in Truth
ye do raise up wheatfields without the Father's blessing that the
seed know an unction?
23. Rejoice and be exceeding glad with me that even as ye do
plow the furrow, so cometh the seed and knoweth its own
fatness. As ye tend unto your husbandry, so the sun hath its
mission and the rainfall its watering. As ye do give a strong
accounting of your labors as husbandmen, God doth the
wonders and the harvest is plenteous.
24. I speak unto those who have known a great tempest,
I speak unto those who have stood against a blowing. As ye go
forth and labor in my name, so cometh the Goodly Company
embracing you for laboring; so come the earthly minions
imploring you for counsel.
25. Go ye forth and counsel in my name, saying unto every
man who questioneth you, The Father hath a purpose in
that which He achieveth, the times have an augury in that they
bring in blessings; ye are sheep of a shepherd that wander
afar but the shepherd hath a wisdom to lead you unto
nourishment.
26. Be wise. Be patient. Be tolerant. Know no evil that cometh
of rebellion. Speak no pronouncement that hath in it folly, yea
even that folly that beareth mischiefs for the brethren.
27. And when that which cometh, cometh, then that which hath
its purpose shall become as your armor, that which perplexeth
shall be as your compass, pointing the wayward unto those who
have wisdom, yea even that wisdom that maketh no mock of
principles in ether that move a ripe fruit to the hands of those
eating.
28. Thus speak I in thought-waves to the cores of your spirits.
29. Rejoice and be glad, I say, that out of the womb of
darkness is born the child of morning, for the new day's
sun hath radiance to blossom seeds that ye took to be
barren.
30. Verily I say unto you that the dews of eternal Providence
make fertile a wheat field where the stalks of the grain are the
souls of the radiant purged of vain longings.
31. I speak as a husbandman who hath tended many gardens,
yea even those gardens whose harvests feed the worlds.
