the reality of all the worlds of
God. Within it lieth concealed that which the world is now utterly
incapable of apprehending. Ponder in thine heart the revelation of the
Soul of God that pervadeth all His Laws, and contrast it with that base
and appetitive nature that hath rebelled against Him, that forbiddeth men
to turn unto the Lord of Names, and impelleth them to walk after their
lusts and wickedness. Such a soul hath, in truth, wandered far in the path
of error...
Thou hast, moreover, asked Me concerning the state of the soul after its
separation from the body. Know thou, of a truth, that if the soul of man
hath walked in the ways of God, it will, assuredly, return and be gathered
to the glory of the Beloved. By the righteousness of God! It shall attain
a station such as no pen can depict, or tongue describe. The soul that
hath remained faithful to the Cause of God, and stood unwaveringly firm in
His Path shall, after his ascension, be possessed of such power that all
the worlds which the Almighty hath created can benefit through him. Such a
soul provideth, at the bidding of the Ideal King and Divine Educator, the
pure leaven that leaveneth the world of being, and furnisheth the power
through which the arts and wonders of the world are made manifest.
Consider how meal needeth leaven to be leavened with. Those souls that are
the symbols of detachment are the leaven of the world. Meditate on this,
and be of the thankful.
In several of Our Tablets We have referred to this theme, and have set
forth the various stages in the development of the soul. Verily I say, the
human soul is exalted above all egress and regress. It is still, and yet
it soareth; it moveth, and yet it is still. It is, in itself, a testimony
that beareth witness to the existence of a world that is contingent, as
well as to the reality of a world that hath neither beginning nor end.
Behold how the dream thou hast dreamed is, after the lapse of many years,
re-enacted before thine eyes. Consider how strange is the mystery of the
world that appeareth to thee in thy dream. Ponder in thine heart upon the
unsearchable wisdom of God, and meditate on its manifold revelations....
Witness the wondrous evidences of God's handiwork, and reflect upon its
range and character. He Who is the Seal of the Prophets hath said:
"Increase my wonder and amazement at Thee, O God!"
As to thy question whether the physical world is subject to any
limitations, know thou
