Chapter 7
|| A man may be wise as to books, philosophy, mathematics, poetry and great learning, and yet be low in grade as to spirit.
A man may know little of all such knowledge, and may be poor also, but by hardship and experience, developed in sympathy and good works done to others, be high in grade as to spirit. ||
So it may be also with spirits who manifest through you as great orators, that they stand even in the lowest grade in heaven.
Do not let yourself deceive yourself, O man, as to your knowledge, or your speech or professions.
You have the scales in your own hands, and shall, sooner or later, weigh yourself justly, and take your place, even as you have prepared yourself.
Neither flatter yourself that you can cheat heaven, or change its ways.
Nor hide yourself behind doctrines, or behind the promises of Gods or Saviors.
Old things are done away with, and none of these things shall help you on earth or in heaven.
Whether you are a king, queen, judge or servant, the same judgment shall stand upon all.
When the garment is gone and the diadem, riches and flesh also, consider the grade of your spirit and the bondage upon you.
You shall take that for which you have fitted yourself, according to what you have done.
