Chapter 174:
Let Us Clear the Land of Pestilence
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. SUFFER these things to be meted unto you, that ye love one another as man hath not loved, that ye hold me in your knowledge, that I, being counselor, may endow you with compassion.
2. Whenever was it said to you that ye had a way of sorrow opened for your treading? have I not told you that he who loveth, and loveth, and loveth yet again, cometh to a fellowship wherein there is ecstasy?
3. Wherever went ye to learn that these things were true: that man's resting-place had vileness, that out of the mouths of the wise ones issued falsehoods, that God hath been mocked from the beginning, that the ways of the conquerors press without mercy?
4. I tell you that in the last days these things shall come upon you: that ye shall see written in fire and blood that the righteous cannot be kept from their heritage, that those who do wickedness shall perish of their own acts.
5. Have I not told you that in the last days those shall come unto you who delight in defilements? whom thought ye that I meant? must I point them out with fingers? do ye not know their vauntings?
6. Have I not said unto you that he who performeth a goodly deed toward the least of the world's afflicted shall in nowise suffer the darkness of affliction?
7. I ask of you which is better, to say unto the beggar, Here is thy pence! or to say unto the mighty, Let us clear the land of pestilence that no beggary hath its moment?
8. Arise, my beloved! Know of my presence! Know that I come that the earth may have radiance, know that I manifest that life may know purity!
9. Oft have we communed in verse and beseechment; oft have we trodden a winepress together, verily that press where the grapes of wrath bruised us.
10. I am come unto you again, that out of that press may flow a fair vintage, that men quaff of a cup that hath no foulness in it.
11. Suffer no more that a cowardice afflict you! I say he who lacketh courage hath a veil of seven sorrows. Verily, verily he weareth that veil. Verily it trippeth him; it hideth the pit wherein presently he falleth.
12. But he who weareth the mantle of courage proceedeth unto knowledge and regaineth his heritage. . . . verily those mansions where the Sons of Light have radiance.
13. Wherein have I offended you, ye who would afflict me?
14. Wherein have I defiled you, ye who will not hear me?
15. Is it not written that he who hath a coat shall give it to his brother? . . . that he who hath a cloak shall cast it over others? . . . what then of the coat of knowledge that I give you? what of the cloak of wisdom that protecteth you?
16. Hath it not been said that two women shall be grinding corn, that one shall be taken and the other left? . . . perceive ye not the meaning of that which hath been told you?
17. How cometh it that a sparrow falleth to the ground and behold your Father knoweth, yet ye, being Sons of Light and Daughters of Radiance, perish of affliction and your voices bring no succor?
18. O ye of little faith! and yet, as I have uttered, how could it be otherwise until the memory of those days be come unto you wherein man had a triumph of spirit over circumstance?
19. I say unto you, Be wise! Go forth in your armor and coop earth's iniquities! Succor the fallen! Go forth in your mantle and hold up your wisdom! Let all the world see it! Let evil flee before you! Hath knowledge been denied you of the cause of earth's tumults? I say unto you, Use it!
20. He who hath a pure heart and a fair conscience defeateth the adversary, even that adversary that stingeth as he blighteth.
21. Yet, beloved, I adjure you, take ye not the sword; take the rope of the cooper and bind ye the miscreant; stand forth in the mantle of protection that shieldeth; make the earth's highways safe for the new children's footsteps!
22. Give of your vigor, give of your substance; bind up the wounds of him who hath fallen; succor his widow; raise up his offspring; see that his progeny receiveth an increase; yea pour knowledge out on it that the goodly times endure and men's hearts know tranquillity.
23. Have I not spoken? wherein wouldst ye rebuke me?
24. Is it not written that he who taketh up the sword shall perish by its sharpness?
25. I tell you more, beloved; I say that he who taketh up the sword to make his brother perish shall be cursed of his spirit and know labor for his progeny.
26. Seven times seven the black curse afflicteth; after seven times seven there cometh tranquillity.
27. Which one among you, having given a stone for his neighbor to eat, cometh unto his neighbor and asketh of him bread?
28. How cometh a nation then, asking for bread, when that which it hath given hath come from a quarry?
29. Verily, verily, he who perceiveth not the stone that he giveth unto his neighbor shall in nowise know bread that cometh from fellowship.
30. My beloved, I humble you that ye may be wise; I give endurance unto you that ye may know tranquillity; I give sustenance unto you that ye may feed those whose bellies know emptiness.
31. Give unto him who asketh of you seven times seven, then give once again; but give not unto him who saith, perceive that ye have increase, divide with me that increase lest my rancor afflict you.
32. Verily I say unto you, Do good unto the worthy, make no mock of him who despitefully useth you, but cast not your pearls before those who would rend you, for so rend they the Father who giveth you your increase.
33. Let your light so shine before those in the darkness that they move toward your radiance and partake of the Father, that ye may be children of the one Spirit that cometh unto all in silence and biddeth them speak loudly proclaiming His beneficence.
34. Thus do ye manifest. In this have ye delight. Behold it shall be given unto you to overturn kingdoms that those who dwell in bondage may come forth unto freedom, that they who dwell darkly may ascend unto brightness.
35. I give you my words. I give you my freedom. Perform goodly acts toward the children of men and know that the Father's Spirit watcheth ever over you.
36. Suffer yourselves not to abominate in this, that ye see the future darkly when all is Light Transcendent.
37. Behold ye have been told that that which cometh, cometh! But cometh it not for the blessing of enlightenment? How else would it be ordered?
38. Ye are of my company, my husbandmen and women, my helpers and handmaidens. Whom I love, I protect. I bestow on them blessings.
39. Lo, these ennoble them, they give them protection, they visit peace upon them, they make them to shine when the skies are full of rigors.
40. Presently cometh a still greater knowledge to you. Ye sally forth in stamina. Ye endure in ministrations.
41. Even as I loved the world, so likewise shall ye love it; as I gave the world my life, so shall Life be rendered unto you. .
