Part 10 - The Son of Elohim
The Lived Religion - Book 10 - The Son of Elohim
Chapter 1
1 Behold, this land is a chosen land,
2 out of its womb shall come the Child of Truth, which shall die and rise again to lead men in the struggle to glory!
3 in the day of his rising, the Earth will be distressed and know it not,
4 nor will it open its arms to the Child, which will go unrecognised, and even be despised and mocked,
5 yet, in that day will be produced a salve to heal the scars of mankind!
6 in that day, when men shall have forgotten the way of righteousness and turned from Truth, the light will come unto them!
7 My Son, take not unto yourself the blame for the iniquity of these perverse people, leave them to steep in the brew of the wickedness which they have prepared for themselves,
8 for there is a point beyond which My Administrator is not required to go,
9 leave the wicked, and gather the select few unto yourself! for thus it shall ever be, many will cry at the gates, but few shall enter,
10 abandon the misled to their false shrines, for the Day will dawn when all these shall be dust borne away on the wind!
11 even then, the words of Truth shall remain unto men,
12 go, cherish the few! hide the Kodesh things in places where they shall be least sought,
13 choose well those who are of one thought with you, a roof is better supported upon a few sound pillars than on many unstable ones,
14 to you is given command of men, as He Who Fathered you is given command of ruchot,
15 those men from whom you incline your head shall be removed from out of your sight, and they shall become lost and restless souls!
16 “O Great Adonai, what can I do? how shall Your servants be saved?
17 what shall be done unto those who have profaned You?
18 what can I do to turn back the rising waters of iniquity and temper the wild winds of wickedness?
19 how can the black cloud of ignorance be lifted?
20 what shall be the just reward of those who have slain the faithful?”
21 concern yourself not with those who have persecuted you, leave them to follow the path of their own choice, vengeance is with Me! I will measure without stint,
22 justice never sleeps and never forgets!
23 the reward of the wicked awaits them! in the Great Hall, justice will speak the final word!
24 My Son, your Abba Adonai, I Who Am, chooses you as the sower of seeds,
25 I Who Am will guide your steps, and will open a door in the barrier that you may hear My voice,
26 let your eyes now see, and, behold, I Am Who I Am!
Chapter 2
1 “Why must the ignorant suffer dire consequences? and why is man not more fully warned?”
2 the ignorant do not suffer because they are ignorant, for that is the state into which they were born,
3 they suffer because they are content to remain in that state, and have chosen to take the easy road of effortlessness,
4 the consequences of ignorance alone are not so dire, it is wickedness, chosen either deliberately or unthinkingly, that damns a man!
5 behold, what he suffers is not a punishment, but the natural consequence of his actions; if a man places his hand upon a hot iron and is burnt, the pain is not a punishment, but the consequence of his actions,
6 if a man cuts himself, he must expect to bleed and if he walks through mud, he cannot expect to remain unsoiled;
7 those who seek refuge in the darkness do so not because they are condemned to suffer in this manner, but because it is the only place in which such as they can live,
8 the worm does not seek the sunlight, or the leech find refuge in anything except slime,
9 all things are drawn into conditions with which they have an affinity, that is a Torah of Nature, as well as a Greater Torah!
10 man is sufficiently warned, for the light has never been denied those who seek it earnestly, and everything about him proclaims the Torah of Affinity,
11 I have not turned away from My children! My children have turned away from Me! by disobeying My Torot,
12 this cry will echo down through the generations of man: “My Elohim, why have You deserted me?” and it will come from those who have deserted their Elohim!
13 yet the day is not far distant when many shall give ear to words of wisdom, for if their ears are stopped, they are lost;
14 men have said, as they will say throughout the ages, “Why, if El be Almighty, can He not create perfection immediately?
15 why does He not create beings having the knowledge of Divine Love forthwith?
16 why have Earth? with all its trials and tribulations?”
17 know this, what appears to you as ages in time is to Me but a flash of thought in a moment of Eternity,
18 I breathed in, the hosts of Earth were not, I breathed out and the hosts of Earth were, I breathe in and they are no more!
19 all things exist within the Eternal One,
20 and that which men know as the span of time, is the act of creation!
21 mark the flight of an arrow from the hands of a bowman: It flies from the bent bow, time passes, then it finds its mark,
22 but to Me, the arrow leaves the bow and strikes the mark together; distance, time, and change are not with Me!
23 once I, your Adon, was not apart from man, My offspring, now I am veiled from his sight,
24 not because I have willed it so, but because man has chosen to bring this about!
25 the barrier between us grows ever more dense, as man wantonly spurns his birthright,
26 henceforth it may be penetrated by long and arduous preparations, and even then those who would do so must know this key:
27 Though there is a barrier between us, it is not impervious to the sincere prayers of a pure heart! this, all men should know,
28 as for you My Son, your days are numbered, you are now no more than the basket holding the seeds which will be strewn and sown by other hands,
29 I come to you, not because of your preparation, but because your Elohim is ever ready to incline towards men,
30 though many things of which I have spoken are not for the ears of men, for such knowledge, freely bestowed, would not benefit them,
31 many things are beyond their present understanding,
32 let these things therefore be recorded unto the generations of men yet unborn,
33 men are now as children and must learn again as children, being taught childish tales.
Chapter 3
1 The man who has recognised his true nature has already stepped into the domain of ruach-uality,
2 but the man who has craved only for things pleasing to the mortal body and been led astray by carnal urges, is lost, and wanders aimlessly in the darkness of moral wastes,
3 his doom is to be devoured by damnation, the predator of these wastes!
4 when I, the Supreme Elohim, communicated with man, the message was that he should multiply and cover the Earth,
5 man was told to never forget that he was the custodian of his race, and the designer of his earthly dominion,
6 he was also told that submission to carnal desires meant ruach-ual death,
7 and that love is a lady worthy of the greatest respect, and not a menial serving maid attending to the demands of a master!
8 those were the things man was told, but he gave heed only to the first!
9 you call upon Me as Abba Adonai, nor do you err in this,
10 yet I am the Hidden Adon! the El of Secret Manifestation! the Wronged Elohim! the Betrayed Elohim! the Disappointed Elohim!
11 I am the Adon who sought to give Love Divine to men by making them My heirs, making them partakers of Divinity, co-creators with Me!
12 but men spurn their birthright! not through wickedness alone, but through their weakness and love of pleasure,
13 therefore, the love once offered cannot now be displayed in all its glory,
14 it cannot be revealed in its beauty, it must now be leavened with severity and chastisement,
15 this, so that those who are the inheritors of Divinity may return to it with undiminished powers! but, purged of their weaknesses and love of unprofitable pleasure!
16 this you should know, that men may know: Divinity of itself is not a created thing, and cannot be bestowed as a gift,
17 it comes as the crown of achievement!
18 I, The Almighty Adon, Who, by taking thought, can create ten thousand worlds, say this.
