Chapter 202:
We Are Architects Together
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. NEVER HATH it been said unto you that I address you,
beloved, in ways that are soft; I speak from my presence yet
I utter you valors.
2. The evil man hath told you: There is rigor in mortality, there
is righteousness in tumult;
3. Behold he who taketh the bow shall fly by the chariot; he
who sitteth at the harpsichord shall perform a sweet melody.
4. And yet I say unto you, unless ye be pursued by valors,
ye shall in nowise be seized by the strong hands of majesty.
5. Except ye pursue your valors as a business, ye shall not
greet tumult as making strong the spirit.
6. Whenever hath it been told unto you truly that the earth
is a resting-place for those who sleep peacefully? or that it is a
fair avenue for those who run lightly and scatter petals
joyously?
7. I say that the earth is a sweet benediction to those who
have given their lives to the sacrifice; it is concord of harmony
for those who walk nobly but who turn not aside for the rigors
of pestilence.
8. The earth is a garden that is waiting to be tilled; behold it is
a highroad that is begging for its pavement.
9. It giveth the sweet sleep only in that the labor is performed,
it receiveth the fair blossom that the tread may be soft for the
feet that are injured yet press on toward victory.
10. Ye have come along a mighty highroad, ye who walk
nobly! Behold, in that ye have journeyed, ye have made that
highroad beautiful!
11. Continue so to make it, but say not unto one another,
We are architects of pavements! Say rather among
yourselves, We have seen the fell pit and have covered it
with bridgings, we have run to the horizons and made their
exits, entrances;
12. We have discussed the universe amongst ourselves and
found it sweet with spicings, yet have we perceived its
spicings not for our nostrils but for our benedictions, that we
have poured sweet ointments upon the heads of the
uncircumspect.
13. Behold he who layeth a pavement is excellent indeed, but
he who blazeth a path through a wilderness holdeth up a
beacon that goeth not out.
14. I have come unto you smiling, I have come unto you
singing, I have hummed in my throat, I have given my
countenance unto pleasant lines of humor;
15. I have brought you my person effulgent with mine
auguries; I have said, Get ye up in peace about that which
engageth you; presently ye shall see that the Father's works are
in the earth made manifest!
16. Behold I have done more. I have come as a man who hath
known a man's potion, who hath drunk a man's nightshade, who
hath tried a man's forbearance and sought comfort for his
griefs in the chantings of sweet versings when the harrows of
heaven would prepare him as the soil to receive the seed of
mysteries!
17. And to what end, beloved?
18. Is it not true that I have given my life unto these
attestments, unto these auguries, unto these valors, unto these
witcheries of spirit that ennoble the intellect, that ye might
be as I and become my true brethren in stature as in
reckonings?
19. How say ye among yourselves, or how saith the world in
the curdle of its littleness, There is One who reigneth over us?
Wherein should I reign? What pleasures should it give me?
Am I little in my grandeur that I eat of admiration? Nay, nay,
beloved. . . .
20. We are architects together, compounding the worlds. I am
as you. Ye are as I. And both together have the height of
the Father.
21. Thus declare the wise ones who are given to no
alchemies.
22. Perceive ye not the truth of it? See ye not the love of it?
Discern ye not the bliss of it? Must I quaff a tiny cup in that your
bellies are too small for wisdoms?
23. Have ye not valors equal unto mine? Must I throw a little
stone that ye may run a little race?
24. The bliss and the height, and the depth and the misery,
these are but fragments of the architecture by which we build
the worlds unto glory, yea even that glory that transfixeth the
Infinite and pulleth it down so that all may partake of it.
25. These are our missions, prescribed in a grandeur.
26. I would not have you dwell in little tents, beloved. I would
set you by a mighty stream and let your ears hear the rush of its
waters. I would give you a mountain to be the valet of your
chambers, that it might attend you with voicings that are
vigorous.
27. I would say unto you constantly, Arise with the wren
and go out with the lark, but soar with the eagle and be one with
the storm.
28. Be neither little in greatness nor great in littleness, but
perceive that the Father hath set a bowstring unto your hand,
that the arrow hath its message and it flieth as ye will it;
29. Perceive that the race is to the strong indeed, but that ye
are the strong, whereof ye do your runnings.
30. Get a grandeur of countenance. Stoop not to tinkling
follies. Open the casements of your spirits and perceive that
the waters of all dews are fresh, that they are bright in the
sunlight, yet are they the mists of last night's longings,
they are of the rain that was sad within the darkness of
your doubtings.
31. These things I purvey unto you as a merchant in majesties.
32. I say that I come in unto mine own, that they may be like
me, that I have their strong countenance.
33. I am the spirit of that which says unto the strong.
Be strong! and unto the weak, Get thee up and make thy
biceps wondrous that men shall behold them in the poise of
their restraints.
34. I come not to instruct you as one who standeth his
feet upon thunderings, for thereat is dread, and vanities in
forcings;
35. I come to sit at meat with you as one who dippeth his
hands in the dish, who saith unto you, Are not these things
sweet and reasonable unto men, that all should embrace them
that their souls may know freedom?
36. Is it not of maturer stature to sit at meat than to besport
upon a cloud that hath destruction in its vomitings?
37. Such are mine eschewments, that ye shouldst partake
of them. . . .
