Spears of Evil

The Book of Enlightenment - A guide to a better life

Saturday 3rd August 1935

I who have gone before speak of Evil spears of evil. Know ye who endeavour to speak with strange words though thy words be words of wisdom and truth ye who desire to rise in the bright white lights of material publicity must be prepared to bear the sting of jealousy and evil.

Know ye my material friends thy work though it be the work of God the Supreme Power, God who grants thee thy material life, that grants unto me the Power that I may guide thee in thy weakness. Power though it be the Power the evil spears ever ready to pierce to wound to injure spears of jealousy spears of envy spears of publicity. Thy tongue thy Power and strength and the reliance in the Protecting Powers of God shall be thine only shield.

It is well spoken when ye classify thy material endeavours as Soldiers of God whose armament consisting of faith and trust in the teachings that thou hast received the very strangeness of thy words will being unto ye the thrusting spears of retaliatory envy.

But then it be not strange for thou must realise to be envied but means that thou hast in thy possession something more than thy neighbour thus the envy be thy work with thy tongue with thy material hands should thy work be accomplished with brush and paint, should ye possess a voice that createth wonder amongst the masses, should ye discover something which is beneficial to the masses what ere great things anyone of ye should ever accomplish ye must surely face the spears of envy and jealousy and face the white lights the bright lights of uncontrolled material jealousy. God could alone grant the strength and the faculties to become a master among men then ye would sheath thy deadly sword of aggression.

Many, many great musicians, great artists whose work is today the pride of the material, died ridiculed disheartened disillusioned by the shafts the spears. Look ye back gathered to the material mind the great works of great men, realise the poverty the stress of opposition cast by the spears of evil tongue. All great work creates such sparks thou should learn to realise each spear thrust is but an applause. Realise if ye possessed that which was not worthy of mention it would create no opposition no jealousy no desire to possess every word every phrase every musical note be a strange note a strange work the creation of new thoughts.

Oh friends strife struggle and jealousy created all because ye do not understand that the works ye envy are but the works of progression brought to ye by the Will of God the Supreme Power.

Ye who dare to defy thy God thy creator I am not of condemnation but thou shalt realise thine own sentence. Ridicule not my material friends the progressive endeavours of thy neighbour whose energies may be stimulated by the desires of the Powers of God. God the creator God the life Power of will and thought God of thought of action God of all Power.

The veil that shadows that blinds thine eyes and makes thine ears deaf to the love and care of the guiding influences controlled by the Powers of Progression granted by the Powers of God to lead thee to the light. Oh canst thou not be given the faculties in thine own tongue, canst thou not stop to realise thou art but a child an unruly child thou art but trying to snatch the food of progressive thought of progression from the mouth of thy brother.

Canst thou not see those who but obediently repeateth the words received from the Council of Power the predominating Power of God for thy enlightenment. So smile, smile my material scribes realise that thou hast in thy possession something worthy of envy prepare then to meet the shafts the spears of envy the white lights realise thy journey will not always be smooth realise many battles material battles will be fought some brought to thy banner victory some defeat.

Ye who fight for right for truth for God must be determined must possess strength and power to endure thrust upon thrust turning each and every wounding thought with determination to go forth amidst the spears and conquer for thou who art soldiers of God the Supreme Power can never be permitted to accept defeat.
