Chapter 203:
Such Is the Mystical
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. LET your emptyings of conscience be replaced by the thought
that man hath heard of mysteries before and harkened unto
profitings, but that he hath denied me before and closed his
ears unto God's sagacities. Hear me as I speak unto you of that
which is mystical. . . .
2. I say it is impatience that maketh man to stumble over that
which is mystical. And yet I say more. . . .
3. I tell you that the Father treateth not in mysteries. Man's
intellect regardeth them. In that it is small, thus have his
mysteries greatness.
4. Man saith, Behold that which is uttered is mystical unto us!
Would the Father plague him by lifting but a comer of the
mantle of Fulfillment? Not so, beloved.
5. Man discerneth that he knoweth not all knowledge. His
intellect encaseth him in an exceeding small binding. He looketh
beyond its binding and beholdeth his freedom.
6. The wise ones say unto him, Verily it is so, . . . and yet are
your eyeballs geared unto the brilliance? are the tympans of
your eardrums tightened to the resonance?
7. Man respondeth, How know I the brilliance, or, How stand
I in the resonance, excepting that I know it?
8. Then say the wise ones unto him, We tell you by symbol
that which waiteth in reality; we do cast you a prism of little
thoughts and gestures that by looking into it ye be not forever
blinded.
9. Man is impatient that this kindness cometh unto him. He
wanteth strong meat ahead of his stature. Thus is he displeased
and escheweth the mystical.
10. Yet can the wise ones change their ways for that?
11. Doth not the unlearned child grasp eagerly for fire?
but doth the parent give it? is it not true that the parent lifteth
the child upon the knee and explaineth by his symbol of the
torture which resulteth if the fire seize his garments?
12. I tell you the wise ones come unto the earth and say:
The fire is mighty that is Wisdom Incarnate but lest ye burn
the vestments that are fashioned of your longings, we speak
unto you by symbol of that which hath its brightness.
13. Of such is the mystical. Of such is the hecklement which
man proclaimeth Mysticism.
14. I say that it is Power unboxed ahead of time.
15. Harken unto me, ye who keep the errand: Those things
which I have taught you may seem unto you trivial, but that
which is eternal is most simple of concept!
16. Man in his littleness maketh his profundities. He
impresseth himself on others, making them to think that his
knowledge hath a bigness. Verily he hideth his emptiness in
wordage.
17. He saith unto his brother: Perceive ye the vastness of the
mystery that I credit! He describeth that mystery in nouns that
are awesome. But his brother knoweth not the nouns nor
the mystery; his fearsome fancy leapeth, he thinketh in
destroyings.
18. Thereat he runneth to and fro crying, This brother hath
loosed my fancies that were fearsome! . . . I perceived in his
words his loftiness of concept!
19. Behold he who caused the fancies to run riot in his brother
had no loftiness of concept, but his brother's tumult vaunteth
him, in that he hath made it; he pursueth his profundities, which
are only error's emptyings.
20. When the word hath a meaning which the brother
pereiveth not, then doth he choose to think it of a vastness. Had
it not vastness, would he not receive it? And of many such
concepts is wisdom credited.
21. I tell you it is foolishness.
22. Statements that are simplest carry greatest meanings!
23. Wisdom is for eating, not for tucking in a sack.
24. I speak my fond auguries that a child may understand
them, for are not men children? . . . .whenever was it
otherwise?
25. Men have beheld you at work in my vineyard and been
encouraged in their spirits. Doth the enemy rout you times
without number? . . . I say that he doth it in that my bivouac
is not strong enough to hold you; ye do leap its walls yourselves
and upbraid me in your leapings that I have not built
them higher.
26. Come unto me, beloved, and I instruct you until that time
arriveth when knowledge of my presence cometh to all of you
by sight.
27. Behold I have taught you that which is your essence;
behold I have shown you that which is your quandary;
28. Behold I have sent unto you those with knowledge on their
foreheads, who would go the way before you, making easy your
avenues through ignorance and tumult.
29. I say that it shall come to pass that ye shall have need of
that which is shown you; I say it shall manifest that your
knowledge is your buckler.
30. Arise and be glad that it is so; arise and be exceeding glad
that enlightenment cometh unto you.
31. For inasmuch as ye do accept it, ye accept me who sent it;
inasmuch as ye do homage unto that which is transcendent,
so come ye into affluence in that which is eternal. . . .
