Blessed are those who comprehend the knowledge of the
future and its ever-changing outlines.
By love will you learn the boundaries of the new structure
of life.
The miracle of perception of the future will come unheralded,
without cannon salute.
But the bell will summon each wayfarer lost in
the forest.
148. Be not depressed—the battle was foretold;
you were forewarned.
The very name of M. provokes the enemy.
Little wonder that the dark ones would wound My
warriors, but the Unseen Guide keeps watch.
Your impulse is natural—soldiers at the battle line,
seeing not their commander,
will chafe amongst themselves;
but he is linked to them by phone
and keeps watch over them with field glass.
Accept the fight and try to shield My Name.
The weak are terrified even by growls, but the strong laugh
at the sight of bared teeth.
149. We will assert Our Existence.
We will unfold the pure teachings of the happy
journey of life.
Fatigue not yourselves with worry—after you understand
the different aspects of Our Teaching, you will
walk the broad highway.
Be benevolent not by impulse but by constant striving.
With pure spirit must you work, and all will follow
without effort.
150. The ray disperses the clouds—a new path is
revealed to the conqueror.
151. Messages come more readily
through dry channels.
Smile—tears interrupt the current.
Only certain glands may be used,
and these as long as they are not irritated.
With cloudbursts of tears, humanity obstructs the
beneficial currents.
152. Amidst the boundless tumult of life do We
erect Our Temple.
We labor on, and each stone is drenched with the sweat
of Our labor.
As you build your school, strive to keep in mind
Our Eternal Structure.
Lonely stands the summit—never does the feeling of
solitude leave it.
Blessed are you if this feeling is known to you.
You are on your way to Us.
Yet the snowy summit feeds the streams of the plains,
and waters the fields for harvest.
Upon the summit does the sun bestow its first ray.
And the moon is reflected in its glaciers.
And none know this womb of the hot springs,
and they wonder at the seething waters
below the snowy summits.
Be not afraid of the holy bliss of solitude.
Through love let it enlighten you.
Love and Lightning do I manifest.
The Lips that give can also withhold.
The Light is given—there is danger in retreat.
We need not the weak of mind.
153. Smile—I grant you the joy of spreading the
Teaching of Christ.
The joy of conceiving the Greatness of the Universe,
The joy of manifested labor,
The joyous fatigue of accomplishment.
154. You can carry My Shield.
In each pure thought lies the Glory of God.
155. From east and from west will come My warriors,
And among the conquerors I shall recognize those
chosen by Me.
And you will know those designated by Me.
Even the grass in its growth fulfills the Will of God.
Higher than the wheat is the human spirit, and in
Our Teaching its work accomplishes even more than do
benevolent thoughts.
156. You serve a cause beyond the reach even of wealth.
The pure offering is returned alive by God to those who
bring their offerings in pure faith, just as was offered
Isaac upon the altar.
And Mount M., which accepts your offering,
will guard the offered treasure of the heart.
Not a small task have you undertaken.
Without pride or self-interest you placed all your
possessions upon the altar.
Can I, the Truth Bearer, pass silently by those who,
amidst cold and storm, brought useful
tributes for the coming harvest?
In safeguarding My Instructions will you find
protection.
Need shall not afflict My Manifestations.
Calm is found in the light of Truth.
The mountain before you is not a test, but a task.
