Chapter 207:

Seek the Godhood Within Yourselves

<< Previous | Home | Next >>

1. SEEK YE a voice speaking hope for the multitude? I say that it shall be with you as it hath been unto the seers in past ages; that they did command the vision that was glorious within themselves.

2. Many are those who come unto me saying: Lord, give us of Thy wisdom!

3. I make them reply: And is it my wisdom, that I do hold it selfishly? have I not told you that the Father giveth through us, that all is radiant and resplendent unto those who walk uprightly in the manner of their utterings?

4. Do ye seek me to counsel you? I say that except as ye do seek the godhood that lieth within yourselves, ye shall in nowise understand eternity's murmurings.

5. For eternity is not a housetop whereupon small souls perch as sparrows, twittering at the landscapes which make up their horizons;

6. Eternity is Experience ever rolling forward, suffering no pitfall to lie open in the pathway in that eyes of reasonings have not proclaimed it and that no voice hath uttered of its peril to the footsteps.

7. Eternity is an open barn, a luscious vineyard, a place of gathering for those anointed to proceed upon a journey that knoweth no arriving for those who undertake it, a wheel in a storm that turneth ever onward in spite of the elements seeking to embog it, a mighty lechery conquered that man hath an ending in his pettiness of thinking.

8. I come unto you manifesting, I give you my counsel, I give you my forethought, I give you my hindthought; I say unto you, Be wise, in that it becometh you to instruct a great multitude. And yet I say more. . . .

9. I give you sustenance for conscious trends of manifesting, I find you a vine, I plant you a fig tree, I propose unto you sonnets, I apply unto you balsams, I give you sweet herbs to quaff in a cup, that ye may be nourished, even in your wits, ever in your conscience.

10. I say unto you though I weary you with telling it, that a time cometh shortly when ye see a vast radiance, ye behold a bright flaming, ye do lift up your eyes and a vision saluteth you; a man rideth in who maketh no mock of that which transcendeth the wits of the wayward.

11. Verily a time cometh unto you when a vast concourse of souls riseth up and heareth an anthem sung for the righteous.

12. I have told you of that anthem, I have mentioned the righteous, but my speech hath not encompassed the meaning of its fragrance when all mortal sense hath suffered from vileness and naught cometh unto it that upholdeth an incense.

13. I say that it shall be with you in the last days as it hath been in the beginning. Man hath an errand unto his species; he doth it nobly, giving no quarter to errands not merciful, injuring no substance that good may be extracted, performing few favors unto those not anointed with the excellent oils of lecheries conquered.

14. He shall come in as the morning, he shall excel as the noonday, he shall pour out the incense of himself upon his brethren, verily as the scents of an afternoon in summer;

15. He shall be his own harvest that is gathered at evening, he shall be the fair night when the stars have a balm to soothe out his frettings after the eternal.

16. Ye are those anointed to do labor unceasing to bring in my kingdom so that humankind profiteth!

17. Have I not told you that such is your errand? have I conquered myself that I now choose weak vessels to bring drink for men's thirstiness? have I made of myself the prince of the nations that I stoop not to excellence in absolving my servants from mistakes of the highroad when their runnings in my service bringeth wreckage to their sandals, and their soft feet are bruised by the paths on which I send them?

18. My beloved, be anointed! My dear ones, know excellence! Verily know it without reproof in it for those things which happen when men's hands are against you and your pathways hold ambush.

19. I say, be not conquered by the intrigues which governors heap upon you; be not made vainglorious by that which is promised you, that eternity serveth you;

20. Have no thought for the excellence that appeareth to pour upon those who give ear to blasphemings, who say unto the enemy, Show me mine errand for thus is it written that my scrip and my purse shall be my defilement and I would escape from that which soundeth me a tocsin to my willfulness; give me my succor that I may be reckoned with those who have gold against a famine!

21. Thus ever is it with those who serve the evil minions, in that they say, The day doth ever augur against us, thus are we left to the mercy of the despots who bring us a message of advantages denied us unless we make worship at the shrine of our bafflements.

22. They make a resplendent message for themselves, saying, It hath pleased us to serve the expedients of circumstance, for thus were we created, to be pawns to blind godlings; let us therefore rise up and serve the multitude instead, believing in our recompense when humanity perceiveth us in our benevolent aspirations.

23. I tell you that they have no benevolent aspirations; they are conquerors of eternities by cohorts of arms, they take godhood by violence, the bright day escheweth them.

24. They go to and fro making lecherous utterings, asking God to appoint them as ministers of sacrifice when only they defer to beggaries of syllables meant to raise hopes that will fetch them their victualings.

25. I bless you for a perseverance in doughty endeavor, but let not your detestings put shadowings on your valors; let every good thing blossom in the garden of your minds that ye may stand in a day of great rejoicing and declare,

26. Our Lord tilled our hearts and we bestow on Life the increase; our sinews and our muscles were but the tools of our transactions to offer the Infinite the cost of our atonements.
