The Aquarian Gospel of Jesus Christ: Section IV: Daleth: ... | Sacred Texts Archive
- Matheno and his pupil, John (The Harbinger/Baptist), were talking of the sacred books of olden times, and of the golden precepts (principles) they contained, and John exclaimed,
- These golden precepts are sublime 👍; what need have we of other sacred books 📚?
- Matheno said, The Spirit of The Holy One cause every thing to come and go in proper time. 🔄
- The sun ☀️ has his own time to set, the moon 🌙 to rise, to wax and wane ⬆️ ⬇️, the stars ⭐ to come and go, the rain ☔ to fall, the winds 💨 to blow.
- The seed 🌱 times and harvest 🌻 times to come; man to be born 👼 and man to die. 🔃
- These mighty Spirits (🕊️) cause the nations to be born; they rock them in their cradles, nurtures them to greatest power, and when their tasks 🛠️ are done they wrap them in their winding sheets ⬜ and lay them in their tombs.
- Events are many in a nation’s life, and in life of man, that are not pleasant for the time ☹️; but in the end the truth appears; whatever comes is for the best. 👌
- Man was created for noble 🫡 part; but he could not be made a free man filled with wisdom, truth, and might.
- If he were hedged about, confined in straits 🪢 from which he could not pass, then he would be a toy, a mere machine. 🤖
- Creative spirits 🕊️ gave to man a will 🧠; and so he has the power to choose. 👆👈 👉 👇
- He may attain the greatest heights, or sink to deepest depths; for what he wills to gain he has the power to gain. ✅
- If he desires strength he has the power to gain that strength; but he must overcome resistances 😓 to reach the goal 🏁; no strength is ever gained in idleness. 🏃♂️
- So, in the whirl of many-sided conflicts man is placed 📍 where he must strive to extricate 🔐 himself.
- In every conflict man gains strength 🏋️♂️, with every conquest he attains to greater heights 🪜. With every day he finds 🔎 new duties and cares 🤗.
- Man is not carried over dangerous pits, nor helped to overcome his foes. He is himself his army 🪖⛑️🚁, and his sword ⚔️ and shield 🛡️, and he is captain of his hosts. 🫡
- The Holy Ones just light his way💡. Man never has been left without a beacon of light to guide. 🗺️
- And he has ever had a lighted lamp 🔦 in hand that he may see 👀 dangerous rocks, the turbid (cloudy) streams and treacherous pits ⚫.
- And so the Holy Ones have judged (determined); when man have needed added a light[,] a master soul has come to earth to give the light. 🕯️🔆
