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!
