No longer do they care for gods hewn out of wood, or made of clay.
Man cannot make an image of the Infinite in force.12. And when men make a God of stone or wood or clay they make an image of a shade; and they who worship at the shrine of shades are shades.13. So God in mercy said, You shall not carve out images of wood, or clay, or stone.14. Such idols are ideals, abased ideals, and men can gain no higher plane than their ideals.15. The God is Spirit men must worship if they would attain a consciousness of God.16. But man can never make a picture or an image of the Holy Breath.17. The name of God man may not speak with carnal lips; with Holy Breath alone can man pronounce the name.18. In vanity men think they know the name of God; they speak it lightly and irreverently, and thus they are accursed.19. If men did know the sacred name and spoke it with unholy lips, they would not live to speak it once again.20. But God in mercy has not yet unveiled his name to those who cannot speak with Holy Breath.21. But they who speak the substitute in idle way are guilty in the sight of God, who said,22. You shall not take the name of God in vain.23. The number of the Holy Breath is seven, and God holds in his hands the sevens of time.24. In forming worlds he rested on the seventh day, and every seventh day is set apart as Sabbath day for men.
1. And Jesus taught the multitudes; and while he spoke a man stood forth and said,2. Rabboni, hear my plea: My father died and left a large estate; my brother seized it all, and now refuses me my share.3. I pray that you will bid him do the right, and give what is mine.4. And Jesus said, I am not come to be a judge in such affairs; I am no henchman of the court.5. God sent me not to force a man to do the right.6. In every man there is a sense of right; but many men regard it not.7. The fumes that rise from selfishness have formed a crust about their sense of right that veils their inner light, so that they cannot comprehend nor recognise the rights of other men.8. This veil you cannot tear away by force of arms, and there is naught that can dissolve this crust but knowledge and love of God.9. While men are in the mire, the skies seem far away; when men are on the mountain top, the skies are near, and they can almost touch the stars.10. Then Jesus turned and to the twelve he said, Behold the many in the mire of carnal life!11. The leaven of truth will change the miry clay to solid rock, and men can walk and find the path that leads up to the mountain top.12. You cannot haste; but you can scatter forth this leaven with a generous hand.13. When men have learned the truth that bears upon its face the law of right, then they will haste to every man his dues.14. Then to the people Jesus said, Take heed, and covet not.
and were they slain as punishment for some great crime?26. And Jesus said, We cannot look upon a single span of life and judge of anything.27. There is a law that men must recognise: Result depends on cause.28. Men are not motes to float about within the air of one short life, and then be lost in nothingness.29. They are undying parts of the eternal whole that come and go, lo, many times into the air of earth and of the great beyond, just to unfold the God-like self.30. A cause may be a part of one brief life; results may not be noted till another life.31. The cause of your results cannot be found within my life, nor can the cause of my results be found in yours.32. I cannot reap except I sow and I must reap whate'er I sow,33. The law of all eternities is known to master minds:34. Whatever men do unto other men the judge and executioner will do to them.35. We do not note the execution of this law among the sons of men.36. We note the weak dishonoured, trampled on and slain by those men call the strong.37. We note that men with woodlike heads are seated in the chairs of state;38. Are kings and judges, senators and priests, while men with giant intellects are scavengers about the streets.39. We note that women with a moiety of common sense, and not a whit of any other kind, are painted up and dressed as queens,40. Becoming ladies of the courts of puppet kings, because they have the form of something beautiful; while God's own daughters are their slaves, or serve as common labourers in the field.41. The sense of justice cries aloud: This is a travesty on right.42. So when men see no further than one little span of life it is no wonder that they say, There is no God, or if there is a God he is a tyrant and should die.43. If you would judge aright of human life, you must arise and stand upon the crest of time and note the thoughts and deeds of men as they have come up through the ages past;44. For we must know that man is not a creature made of clay to turn again to clay and disappear.45. He is a part of the eternal whole.

who opened up your eyes?27. He said, A man whom men call Jesus, made a salve of clay and put it on my eyes, and bade me say a word and wash in Siloam seven times; I did as he commanded me, and now I see.28. A certain scribe was passing, and he saw the man and heard him say that Jesus, by the Word, had opened up his eyes.29. He therefore took the man up to the synagogue, and told the story to the priests, who asked the man about the miracle.30. The man replied, I never saw the light until to-day, for I was blind from birth.31. This morning as I sat beside Siloam, a man I never knew put on my eyes a salve that people say he made of clay; he bade me say a word and bathe my eyes in water seven times; I did as he commanded and I saw.32. A lawyer asked the man, Who was it opened up your eyes?33. The man replied, Some people say, His name is Jesus and that he came from Galilee; but others say, He is the son of God.34. A Pharisee came up and said, This is the Sabbath day; a man who does a work like this, regarding not the Sabbath day, is not from God.35. Some of the priests were much amazed and said, A wicked man could never do a miracle like this; he must possess the power of God.
