Chapter 227:
Emissaries of a Trend
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. MY DEARLY BELOVED: Hear ye my speaking; I address you
as having understanding of principles eternal.
2. I say there are matters awaiting your knowing; I speak unto
you of principalities and powers that have an evil thought
against you.
3. Know ye that when man first came to earth, it was requisite
on him to relieve his tedium. Long ago was it thus. Man came
from mixed races. He came with understanding of a logic that
was celestial.
4. He deployed throughout the ages making wishings unto
himself, that he should be this and that, always imagining to
himself that he were this and that.
5. It is meet that ye do know that the practice goeth on: there
are those who would be that which they cannot by divine
pronouncement;
6. There are those who would make procrastinations of
intellect, calling them patience; there are those who do aspire
unto lofty places, calling them desires of spirit; there are those
who do seek high dwelling-places, knowing their rancor at the
circumspect in that they keep to humble avenues.
7. Ever was it thus, I say; and yet I say more; I say that it is
their desiring to abominate again, to make new mischiefs
defiling their own tabernacles, to attain to new desires of flesh,
to try new pathways that seem unto them bright but that lead
into darkness and harrowings of spirit.
8. Know, my beloved, that these do surround you; they seek
not your good; they perform their own auguries unto them
selves; they come and go in circumstance wishing no good
thing for any but themselves.
9. I tell you they create distortions of intellect, they abominate
furiously with intellectual pursuits, they trip over conscience and
are cast in their own pits, they raise themselves by intellect and
are encouraged to deceive themselves.
10. I say they create distortions of fancy, they plague
themselves with mischiefs, they are at their wits' end to devise
new tortures for the souls of those who make a goodly showing
unto God.
11. I say unto you, beloved, that the Host belaboreth them,
that they come not nigh unto you to do you damage; I say that it
is possible that they do come unto you, but if they come,
receive them not, rebuke them not, know them not at all.
12. I say that it behooveth me to tell you that these matters
are of import, that ye may be wise in the avenues that open
unto you.
13. There come unto you many men who make vast salaams,
saying: We perceive that ye have knowledge, we perceive
that ye have wits, we perceive it to be a goodly thing that
ye wouldst do among the nations, . . . lead us therefore into
paths of holiness; be with us, we beseech you, in these times
of tumult.
14. But the brethren who are of Darkness cry: Away with such
carrion! away with those who mock us and talk to us of Light!
crucify them as we crucified Him who sent them! take no stock
in their principles, ye world of foolish mortals! See! we are wise
and kindly and good, for we bring you succor that hath its
lenten aspect!
15. I tell you, beloved, these things are not so. Their succor
is a famishment. Their deeds are of evil and would cast you
in pits.
16. Harken, my beloved! . . . . I speak unto you by tongue,
I give you great counsel; I say unto you, Be wise!
17. It behooveth you to know that I do walk beside you in that
which ye do; but this is my caution: do it circumspectly lest
those who watch over you have upset in their guardings.
18. It behooveth you to know that it is possible for those who
walk in darkness to make a spring upon you, to rend you with
an anger, to do a beastly act to satisfy their vengeance.
19. In this wise treat with them: Give them not your sword in a
conflict, for I say unto you, in that ye do it, ye partake of their
pestilence, ye connive in their angers, ye do make a lecherous
pit and descend with them into it.
20. Say rather unto them: What doth it profit you to do evil
deeds against us when those who watch over us are great of
understanding? . . . are not all things possible with God? . . .
doth He not protect the weak, yea indeed as He ordereth
the strong?. . . . . Be wise in understanding and consult
your own interest!
21. Harken to my counsel that ye may have amulets, yea
protection of a sort against the noonday's flying arrow.
22. It behooveth you to know that a goodly company awaiteth
its leaders, a goodly company cherisheth the dictates of your
consciences, a goodly company meriteth a goodly attendance
from you.
23. Arise and be about your tasks, but in your going remember
the wayward who lurk in sodden places to do you a defiling;
they pile up mischiefs for you, they come and go
in darkness, spilling their tragedies upon the page of fair
accomplishings.
24. Go ye unto them in this wise saying: We come as
emissaries not of a personage but a trend; we speak as those
who have obeyed a great signal; we have seen a great sign, we
have lived a great tocsin.
25. Hath it not dawned upon you that a mighty potency
worketh its augury?
26. Ye do go and come in circumstance, ye peoples of the
earth. Ye do rise up, and fall down, . . . but ever are ye
beholden unto those who guide your destinies.
27. We are come unto you to tell you of those destinies. We
do make a great mocking of the forces working evil, but in our
mocking we are wise.
28. We are become as those who have seen a stalwart vision;
we have seen it in a flaming, we have beheld it in a clearness;
behold we have seen its dawning where the earth hath known
its sadness! . . .
29. Go ye far from us, ye who work iniquity, unless ye wouldst
forecast yourselves in that vision as rulers of iniquities who lead
yourselves to slaughterings! . . . what have we to do with you?
30. I tell you these things, my dearly beloved, that ye may be
wise and escape the fell arrow; I speak fables unto you that
ye may have knowledge of what is Written for your wisdom,
in your conduct.
31. It behooveth you to know that I am come out of my
Father's house and go not into it again until the Dawn cometh
for which men beseech the One who hath sent me. Now, my
beloved, let me tell you of your errand. . . . .
