Book of Discipline Chapter 5<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

GOD SHOWETH HOW MORTALS MAY ATTAIN INSPIRATION FROM
\nJEHOVIH AND FROM THE ANGELS OF THE SECOND RESURRECTION.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Whoso ruleth over his own earthly desires, passions, actions, words and thoughts,
\nbeing constantly watchful for the highest light and greatest good, is on the right road.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

2. And if he persist in this till it hath become a constitutional growth within him, then<\/span>
\nshall he hear the Voice.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Who then can judge him, save they have also attained to the same high estate? Is
\nit wise for the unlearned to dispute with the learned; or the unholy with the holy?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Shall the drunken man, reeking with foul smell, sign the pledge to drink no more, and
\nstraightway say: We temperance men! and presume to dwell with the pure?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

5. I say unto thee, till that man is purified and grown to be constitutionally temperate he is
\nnot temperate.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Consider then the seers and prophets (who hear the angels) whether they have grown
\nconstitutionally to be one with Purity, Wisdom and Goodness.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

7. For this is required of such as presume to hear me and my holy ones. And having
\nattained to this, who can judge them, save they have attained unto the same?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Shall a man inquire of the magician as to the inspiration of the prophets of thy God? Or
\nthe angels of the first resurrection be consulted as to their opinions of my revelations, and
\ntheir words taken for truth without substantiation?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Let all things be proved, or supported by corresponding testimony known to be true. As
\nthe holy man perceiveth how things should be in the heavens above, so they are. The
\nunholy man seeth heavenly things but dimly; he bindeth himself in ancient revelations
\nwhich have become corrupted.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

10. Jehovih is as near this day as in time of the ancients; put thyself in order, becoming
\none with Him, and no book so easily read as His created universe.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

11. Inspiration cometh less by books, than by what Jehovih wrote, His worlds. Read thou
\nHim and His works. Frame thy speech and thy thoughts for Him; He will answer thee in
\nthine own behavior, and in the happiness of thy soul.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

12. Great wisdom cannot be attained in a day; nor purity, and strength, to overcome
\ntemptation, till the growth be from the foundation.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

13. The fool will say: The sacred books are no more than man of his own knowledge
\nmight write; yet, he hath not imitated wisely the power of the words of thy God.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

14. Let him do this well, and, behold, he will also declare my words are from me. Yea, he
\nwill recognize them wherever found.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

15. It is the will and wish of thy God, that all men become constitutionally capable of
\nreceiving and comprehending the highest light, and that they shall no longer depend upon
\nany priest, church, oracle or holy book, or upon consulting the spirits.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

16. That their behavior may make the earth a place of peace, with long life unto all
\npeople, for the glory of Jehovih.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
