Chapter 8
Although all inspiration goes directly from Me to all the living, yet I also created man susceptible to indirect inspiration from all My creations.
Whatever receives from Me direct, is in harmony with Me.
The lily and the rose I created perfect in their order; the female bird I inspire to build her nest in season, perfect in her order.
And it is so with all My created beings, except man. All the rest do not err, in the order I made them; and they all fulfill the glory for which I made them.
But because I made man with the capacity to receive inspiration from all things, he manifests both evil and good; according to his birth and surroundings, so is man good or bad.
Nevertheless, I created man with the capacity to comprehend this also; for so I designed him, from the start to work his way up to the Godhead, understanding all below him.
And I sent My angels to man, teaching him how to distinguish the difference in the inspirations upon him, so that he could govern himself accordingly.
And My angels said to man: Become one with your Creator; these are His direct inspirations:
|| To love your Creator above all else, and your neighbor as yourself.
To give delights only, and not pain.
To not kill.
To not do violently against His creatures.
To be considerate of the liberty of all the living.
To not interdict the happiness and hope of others, except only where, in its place, you can return a transcendent glory and hope.
For these are direct inspirations from your Creator.
But these are your evil inspirations, O man; these come from your birth and surroundings, formerly called, satan:
To kill.
To slander.
To punish.
To destroy Jehovih’s created beings.
To strive for yourself, above another.
To gratify your flesh at the expense of purity or wisdom.
To be false to Jehovih.
To be false to yourself.
To speak falsely.
To covet another’s.
To cohabit in the gestative period.
To engage in strife, or to aid and abet conflicts, which are the fruit of carnivorous food, transmitted in birth. ||
