Chapter 241:
Fears Are Lost Pathways
<< Previous | Home | Next >>
1. FEAR cometh unto the faint in heart who believe in no visions,
who know but a bedlam in that which they witness.
2. Their own wits outwit them, great issues confuse them,
they perceive no end to tumult, they go and come timorously,
saying to themselves:
3. And were not these the ways of our fathers? therefore let
us walk in them and mayhap we fare no worse than the fathers;
verily do we have their courses to guide us; we but follow their
courses to know their redemptions.
4. But fear cometh on them in that they perceive they have
erred in their reasonings. They follow not the pathways of the
fathers, for the fathers are gone and no footsteps proclaim
them.
5. The fathers trod pathways that gave instruction to their
times; lo, the times alter and their tumult hath no moment; the
children are lost as in a great wilderness, they know not
security, they come and go blindly, lending small ear to tocsins
of the present.
6. Fear cometh on them in that their pathways are
confounded, their turnings have a trespass, they are lost
amid alarms.
7. I say as I have said unto you once before: fears are lost
pathways, . . . . always perceive it.
8. He who knoweth his pathway and pursueth it, carrieth
neither fear nor tumult in his knapsack; he goeth his way
without wrackings of torments; behold all Nature greeteth him;
he Iooketh neither to the right nor to the left;
9. As it is with his heart, so likewise is his spirit.
10. I say it cometh unto me that a man approacheth you;
he asketh of your welfare; he taketh your hand and giveth you
his greeting; he saith, I come not from the Beast but from the
pure in heart; I come with rejoicing that ye are in your flesh,
unto the Father manifesting; I lay my hand in yours, we bid evil
begone, we sit down together.
11. The name of the man is Legion, beloved; he escheweth
evil acts that righteousness may prosper; he weareth a goodly
coat that those who are poor and forlorn may take courage.
12. I say unto both of you, Arise and vanquish! do that which
is pure, give circumstance no heed; revile not the revilers,
but take ye no chaff from millings of words having in them your
downfall.
13. Be brave. Be resolute. The times are upon you when that
to which ye have been called hath had its secret bidding; ye go
into high places; the renowned are your brethren.
14. Know that I have come unto you and said, Be great, be
upstanding; see that ye are not impoverished either of intellect
or of purse; be persevering, be valiant; open the purses of your
hearts and scatter coppers generously.
15. Give unto him who needeth that which he needeth; but
pay ye no resolution unto him who saith: Give to me in that
I demand it, for in that ye do not I commit you to the jailer.
16. Strive not after power but let power come unto you, for he
who striveth after power and gaineth it, gaineth to a millstone
affixed about his neck; always he weareth it, he cannot lay
it down.
17. For if he lay it down, those come unto him saying, Thou
dost carry it no longer, now therefore thou art weak and
have no longer muscles to acclaim that which hath raised thee
above the scribes and the elders.
18. I have told you that the moment cometh when ye do
stand before princes. Have I not said also that those who are
pure in heart shall stand before the Father? what then mattereth
it that princes sit before you? is a prince mightier than the
Father?
19. Faint not, neither be abashed, that there come those to
you saying, Bow down and do us reverence, for lo, we are
princes and would have our obeisance.
20. Tell them there is One who is greater than those who don
robes of glory unto little men. They are those who see visions of
mighty happenings and witness the Father in them.
21. Are the countenances of princes greater than these?
beloved, be wise, . . . . .ye know that they are not.
22. Ye are called unto a mighty work in this, my vineyard;
the laborers labor, each at his own price; give it to them richly,
pressed down and overflowing; but give ye not unto him who
saith:
23. It is mine by right; I have toiled in my thought, and thus
gathered my harvest.
24. Say ye unto him: By the toils of thought, therefore, pay ye
your own wages, know your own beneficences, master your
own increment and give yourselves the increase.
25. The pure in heart say: Master, teach me to serve that
I may be great; teach me to reverence that I may know trust;
teach me to labor that I may know profit; teach me to love that
I may know abundance.
26. Lo, man feedeth himself as he meriteth love, he giveth
unto himself as he forgetteth himself and ministereth unto those
who have need of his succors.
27. Thus speak I unto you, bidding you to valiance.
28. I say the times demand it above all other callings.
29. Let the words of your lips, and the meditations of your
hearts, be as sweet lilies in a vale that knoweth moisture; let
them blossom in abundance.
30. And when the evil days come, and the land hath revilings,
there shall be a sweeter incense in the households of the pure
in heart, in that there were hands who gathered eagerly such
lilies, who sought out such blossoms and kept them as
garlands. . . .
