Chapter 190:
Only One Radiance
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. I HAVE come unto your spirits, bespeaking my Peace. I say that
it shall be shown you that though ye labor ever in the coils of
mortal substance, yet is your sojourn decreed for your good.
2. I am he who showeth you that sojourn, who saith unto you,
Come unto me, all ye who are weary, or heavy-laden, and I will
give you rest.
3. Verily do I show you that your rest is merited by that which
ye endure, that by your endurance are ye lifted into Spirit.
4. Seven times seven are the numbers of your venturings,
yea even into substance, that mortality may mark you; believe
that I come unto you in each, manifesting goodly evidence that
the cries of your hearts are as bread on many waters.
5. Behold I go before you preparing the ways whereby the
sons of men gather about them the vestments of righteousness
and sit at meat with those of wisdom;
6. Behold I prepare a feasting-place for those who know
hunger that they may eat eternally the viands of explainings.
7. Ever are those among you who have poverty of intellect,
who rise not up to dispute with the scornful but seek them a
hiding-place when the drums of wrath have promptings, verily
when the sons of men who are evil take unto themselves the
pestilence that slayeth its thousands.
8. Have I not told you that the day and hour cometh when the
pestilence is stilled, when that which was vile is turned into
radiance, when that which maketh the brother to mourn is put in
his mouth as an anthem of mercy?
9. Think ye that I bear false witness when I say that those sit
amongst you now who make scoffings at pure doctrine, who
revile the transgressor without knowing his transgression, who
seek to do good by performing a lechery?
10. Hear ye my words and make a new covenant unto the
Father. Behold I tell you a new heaven and a new earth come
upon you as a thief who walketh stealthily;
11. Behold I say unto you that a new morning dawneth when
those who have the sign of vigilance upon their foreheads arise
and give praise that they know the new bounty, even that gift of
performing in wisdom.
12. Ye have fear in your hearts that the Comforter hath
missed you, that no redemption cometh unto those who watch
faithfully, that goodness escheweth you, that the faithful know
penury, that there cometh no surcease in that which is tumult.
13. Ye do perceive falsely, my beloved, . . . for that which is
radiant casteth ever a shadow, that which is brilliant giveth
scorch to the eyesight;
14. That which hath everlasting promise giveth a transgression
in that mountains of error are mountains of evil but the sea
receiveth both that the land may know fatness.
15. Ye have learned from olden time that the fathers had a
vigilance for that which was seemly; verily did they take into
their intellects that which encouraged them to dwell on their
omnipotence, to magnify their wisdom, to give voice to their
praises sung unto themselves.
16. I say unto you, beloved, there come unto you those who
sing not of themselves, who have ever the eye that is watchful
for your welfare, who mock not that radiance that casteth
a shadow.
17. Verily do they come unto you and sing: Let us be happy,
let us be glad, for do we not see that man hath a destiny?
do we not know that the times have an augury?
18. Arise and be glad, even as they, beloved. Arise and have
joy, in that they see rightly. For even as ye are little barks upon
great waters, so do those waters cradle you tenderly, so do
those tempests shower your voyage with safeties.
19. Ye come and ye go at the behest of tempests, ye make
progress through your errors, ye rise to new heights from the
chasms of your doubtings, ye receive a new crown by the
torments of your sailings.
20. I come saying unto you: I have known my sheep, I have
heard them in confusions, I have watched them at their
gambols, I have kept them in a darkness.
21. Behold I have taken them into mine arms when the thorns
of the brush would have turned their steps from me; verily have
I approached and seen them leap from me, not knowing the
voice that would call them to safety.
22. Is it not meet that these things should be known to you?
that those who have doubtings should abide in my bosom?
that those who would hide from me should meet their
destruction?
23. Are ye not greater than many sheep, beloved, being Sons
of Benefaction?
24. Are ye not promised celestial diadems if your brows have
known thorns from those who mock radiance?
25. It hath come unto your ears that men would spread a
pestilence among you. I say again, there is no pestilence, but
only the Father who seeketh to ennoble you by pointing out
error in the guise of false prophets, who seeketh to guide you
by turning treachery from you, who seeketh to embrace you by
giving you discernments.
26. Hear me as I say it: there shall come unto you ten
thousand times ten thousand crowns but only one glory that
cometh out of Knowing. Behold there shall come unto you ten
thousand times ten thousand glories, but only one Radiance
that maketh a leadership.
27. Receive mine instruction. Know that even as the heavens
are high above the earth, thus spacious is the love of those
who come ministering, so is the depth of their compassion
in service, so is the fullness and wealth of their devotion.
28. Abide ye in me, and I in you, till the moment arriveth when
that which is taught you hath a bond with your utterance.
29. Then shall ye know what was told from the Beginning. Ten
thousand shall fall and one falling shall be lifted; one shall be
raised and in rising, lift ten thousand.
30. There is evil in circumstance to him who is uncircumspect,
but to him who seeketh celestial treasure, the future is a coffer
that displayeth many rubies.
31. My sheep follow the true shepherd and harken unto his
counsels; they drink of cool waters and wolves assail them not;
32. They know a true voice and engage in no mischiefs whose
ends have not ennoblement; they come and go in green
pastures as I lead them;
33. Behold they are as anointed ones who see a great tumult
that spreadeth in a valley, but their pasturelands are lofty, they
go not down the steeps to partake of wrong forage.
34. Hear ye my voice! Ye are my sheep who eat a goodly
forage. Ye are mine anointed who keep a great compact.
35. So ever be it.
36. When the cares of the world would perplex you, say not,
He who should lead us hath departed far from us. Say rather,
He who hath led us hath entered a compact; the wayward are
lost but the holy ones profit.
37. Thus do I bless you. Ever my staff hath its rod for your
footsteps. . . .
