Chapter 223:
What Is Victory?
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. VICTORY? . . . what is Victory?
2. Behold it cometh to pass that many shall fall and some
shall know absolution; some shall come in to the banquet of
free utterings, some shall be drunken with the wines of sweet
sayings.
3. There shall come a moment in eternity when all who have
battled shall take off their helmets, they shall stand in their
mantles, their swords shall be covered.
4. They shall raise a loud resonance, saying: Lord of Hosts,
we proclaim Thee! we give Thee our vassalage! Behold we
have gone out and borne the battle's heat, we have quelled the
foul utterance, we have taken spoils from Mammon and we lay
them down joyously.
5. Therein, I tell you, is victory, beloved.
6. Victory is the cooping of that which is base, it is the
standing forth valiantly and proclaiming your sovereignty over
that which is manifest, it is conquering the spirit that Spirit may
be rescued, it is opening your hearts and finding roses in them.
7. Behold, victory is more. . . . It is the process of taking the
Eternal Brightness and making it manifest unto those who walk
darkly; it is returning unto the Father's house that which hath
been seized by robbers of fair virtues;
8. It is enduring the slaughter that sickeneth the spirit, that the
pestilence be halted that striketh down the helpless.
9. I caution to no slaughter except that which is defending;
I exercise no force that cleaneth not man's tables that his
viands may be excellent.
10. And yet I say unto you, the victory hath its essence. . . .
11. There are those who are proud, they know their own
victories over their own arrogance; there are those who are
mute, they know their own victories over their loquacity; there
are those who are injured of earth and of men, they know their
own wounds and scoff at the sting of them.
12. I am he who knoweth the greatest victory of them all,
in that I did ascend into my Father's house out of mine
own resonance, out of mine own brightness I did give no leech
to alchemy, I did lift up my voice and call my minions unto
me.
13. Yet when they came to me, I did not desire them; I turned
mine own magic; I raised mine own goat-herds up into
kingdoms; I commanded my presence to those who walk darkly;
I gave myself no surcease in vigorous endeavoring.
14. When the time was approached for rigorous commending
of myself to the multitude, I did give myself freely, I asked no
man for his hand, I ventured in thanksgiving, I gave honor to
the prophets.
15. These things are paramount in any man's existence:
that he should envision himself as the doer of righteous
alchemies, that he should lift up his hands in blessings on his
neighbor, that he should make a great sweat at lecherous
performance and clear the new highroads that wend unto his
kingship.
16. Victory is that gratification which cometh when these are
made tacit in the heavenly understanding; it is the doing of
things that others may be great and seeing them become it
with little weals forsaken.
17. I tell you, Be victorious! Hear these things and do them!
