PEACE
WITH THE OTHER SUNS OF MENPEACE
WITH THE OTHER SUNS OF MEN
Tuesday Mid-Day contemplation:
On Tuesday I seek peace
with other Sons of Men, even with the
Pharisees and priests, even with beggars and the homeless, even with kings and
governors. For all are Sons of Men, whatever be their station, whatever be their
calling, whether their eyes have been opened to see the heavenly kingdoms, or
whether they yet walk in darkness and ignorance.
"For the justice of
men may reward the undeserving and punish the innocent, but Holy Law is the same
for all, whether beggar or king, whether shepherd or priest.
"Seek peace with all
the Sons of Men, and let it be known of the Brothers of Light, that we have
lived according to the Holy Law since the time of Enoch of old, and before. For
we are not rich, neither are we poor. And we do share all things, even our
garments and the tools we use to till the soil. And together we work in the
fields with all the angels, bringing forth the gifts of the Earthly Mother for
all to eat.
"For the strongest of
the angels of the Heavenly Father, the angel of Work, blesses each man who works
in the way best for him, for then shall he know neither want nor excess. Truly
is there abundance for all men in the kingdoms of the Earthly Mother and the
Heavenly Father when each man works at his task; for when a man shirks his task,
then another must take it up, for we are given afl things in the kingdoms of
heaven and earth at the price of labor.
"Always have the
Brothers of Light lived where rejoice the angels of the Earthly Mother: near
rivers, near trees, near flowers, near the music of birds; where sun and rain
may embrace the body, which is the temple of the spirit. Nor do we have ought to
do with the edicts of rulers; neither do we uphold them, as our law is the Law
of the Heavenly Father and the Earthly Mother; neither do we oppose them, for no
one rules save by the will of God. Rather do we strive to live according to the
Holy Law and strengthen always that which is good in all things; then will the
kingdom of darkness be changed to the kingdom of light; for where there is
light, how then can darkness remain?
"After this manner,
therefore, I pray to our Heavenly Father, when the sun is high at midday: 'Our
Father who art in heaven, send to all the Sons of Men your angel of Peace; and
send to all humankind the angel of Work, that having a holy task we should not
ask for any other blessing.'
