JORIAS IS GLOWING IN THE FIRE OF HIS LOVE. WISDOM, THE LIGHT BORN OUT OF LOVE. THE UNIVERSE WITHIN MAN
After this glowing speech Jorias promptly threw himself at Abedam's feet, praising Him in the great fire of his love and thanking Him in the ardor of His heart; and his love kept growing mightier and mightier until, finally, his body looked as if it had been made from white-hot metal.
2
When the patriarchs noticed this, they were greatly amazed, not knowing how to understand this phenomenon.
3
When the high Abedam saw the general embarrassment of the patriarchs He opened His mouth saying: "Why are you amazed at the great love of Jorias?
4
"Whoever loves as he does, will experience what he is now experiencing. When love in a person keeps growing mightier and mightier, its glow penetrates his whole being, for love is the actual essence of fire. But whoever is thus glowing throughout, is also lit throughout according to the measure of his love; for there is nowhere another light but that going forth from fire. Therefore, true love is a true light, being a proper, living fire.
5
"But I tell you all: A person's light and, consequently, his wisdom, will be in accordance with his love for Me! You all went forth from Me well endowed; everyone carries within him the same that is within Me, for I am to him a perfect Father, just as he shall be to Me a child perfectly in My Image.
6
"This being so, what a great fool is he who, having heard this from My mouth, fails to promptly go within to light in his heart a great fire of love that will instantly glow through his whole being and light it up throughout so that he can then find within the infinite treasures I have put there.
7
"Look here: Jorias is all aglow to the outermost skin! He is already beholding and enjoying the immeasurable treasures out of Me, - indeed, treasures that are imperishable and cannot ever be consumed, since they keep increasing infinitely, like the grain of wheat on earth, the only difference being that the consumed treasures of love keep renewing themselves more and more enhanced and endlessly multiplied, whereas the earth's grain of wheat when sown into the earth multiplies itself at the utmost a hundredfold
8
"Verily, verily, I say to you, this earth and everything on it, in it and above it, the sun and everything in it, on it and above it, and all the great stars with their countless worlds and their light and everything in them, on them and above them and what there was and will be after unthinkable eons, and the whole heaven in its vast infinity, all the countless myriads of angel hosts in all their glory, and even Myself, you have within you!
9
"Hence, what a fool is he who here fights about a piece of the earth, as has happened several times among you, since he has and carries within him an entire, truly living earth, which for him will not, and cannot, ever perish in eternity, but will on the contrary, according to his pleasure and his free will, keep growing larger, more beautiful and multiplying itself, including all the aforementioned!
10
"For, if it were not so, no one would be capable of a thought; and everything a person can and may think, in whatever form and however multifarious, must surely be present in him in its essence as there is present in the grain of seed an endless variety of itself, together with all the plant constituents producing the same, without which quality an endless reproduction would be unthinkable.
11
"If in this way your thoughts teach you what you endlessly have and carry within you essentially, and now also I, as the Creator of all this and your Father, am telling you and revealing to you all this and that all you need to come into full possession of all these endless treasures is true love, - say, what a great fool he is who worries and cares for a fistful of dust of the transitory earth, which is only a trying delusion or a mere phantom world, while he carries within countless hosts of suns which are genuine and imperishable!
12
"Therefore, look at Jorias; he shows you what love can accomplish and all the things love alone can help you to do.
13
"So, in the future be no longer fools but flee the world, seek yourselves and Me within you.
14
"Once you have found it all with the light of your love, you will certainly realize how much the whole earth is worth compared with the least inner treasure of life out of Me.
15
"But he who will be aglow in love like Jorias, also will find what he found.
16
"You, My beloved Jorias, rise and show the others the smallest part of that which you have now, through Me, found within owing to the ardor of your love. Amen."
