OF OLD ye
have heard it said: Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings the Lord hath
ordained truth.
I tell you,
beloved, the phrasing hath its sense; I say unto you that children are the
mouthpieces of the eternal ones; verily through the childlike do they manifest
to flesh.
Except ye
become as little children ye cannot enter the kingdom of Light; verily children
are the lamplighters; watch them and see radiance.
Children are
the mouthpieces of the eternal ones indeed: they have no knowledge unto
themselves yet do they speak with an authority, having a knowledge of heavenly
things unsoiled of worldly contacts.
Mark ye my
wisdom: the sons of men have all been children, but more than this, the Sons of
Light are always children.
They have
Light in their hearts; they are simple of concept, having no evil in their
natures; they have no conflict within their spirits; their intellects give them no burden.
I say unto
you, beloved, that mankind hath a humor to deride children for their simplicity
and ignorance of the world; I tell you, that is their shibboleth and
protection: their simplicity exalteth them.
I say unto
you again, Except ye become as children ye can in nowise enter the kingdom of
Light.
I speak of
children as an answer to the eternal question, What shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
What shall
it profit a man indeed if he lose the simplicity of his childhood? wherein
cometh the increment to a sister if she knoweth not birds, and stars, and
flowers?
Pity both
for their blindness: yea, they have need of pity. Much knowledge maketh the
heart to sicken, even as sorrow maketh it to suffer.
Children
have knowledge; they are temples of purity which Mammon hath defiled not; they
come to earth fresh from transcendent planes where they have seen and heard
beauty of spirit unsullied by fleshly concepts.
Treat with
them, I tell you, as incubators of eternal concepts; listen to their prankings
of speech and behavior and answer with tolerance; harken to their voices when
they make strange utterings.
Verily
little children shall lead the kingdom, for I tell you that a little child is
the holiest thing alive.
Can one who
is not a child stand in a great place and say, This is the Master, see ye him,
hear ye him?
Can those of
worldly wisdom say, Long have we heard His words in our hearts, long have we
visited Him in our spirits, long have we known Him by concept and precept, long
hath He taught us of the comings and goings of the eternal throng climbing the
ladders of doubt to the heights of understanding?
Verily the
childlike say with me, That which is Written cannot be unwritten, that which is
Said cannot be unsaid.
That which
is Written compriseth words of truth unable to express themselves except in
action; that which is Said compriseth words of Incarnate Thought sent unto you
and the world of men that ye shouldst cohabit one with the other and know the
words of Truth in your lives. . . .
