athering time, the soul's receiving time: it is the
forerunner of pure language.... He that speaks from the original
light within can truly say, I know what I say, and I know whom I
worship."

Somewhat later he continues:

"None shall need to turn over books and writings (for indeed all
these shall cease too) to get knowledge. But everyone shall be
taken off from seeking knowledge from without, and with an humble
quiet heart shall wait upon the Lord, till He manifest Himself: for
He is a great king, and worthy to be waited upon. His testimony
within fills the heart with joy and singing. He first gives
experiences; and then power to set forth these experiences. Hence
you shall speak to the rejoicing one of another, and to the praise
of Him who declares His power in you. But he that speaks his
thoughts, studies, and imagination, and stands up to be a teacher
of others, shall be judged for his unrighteousness, because he
seeks to honor flesh, and does not honor the Lord."

He then somewhat mystically continues:

"Behold the Annointing, that is to reach all things, is coming to
create a new Heaven and a new Earth wherein Righteousness shall
dwell, and there shall not be a vessel of humane earth but it shall
be filled with Christ. If it were possible to have so many buckets
as to contain the whole ocean, every one could be filled with the
ocean, and being put all together it would make up the perfect
ocean which filled them all. Even so Christ, which is the spreading
power, is now beginning to fill every man and woman with Himself.
He will dwell and rule in everyone; and the Law of Reason and
Equity shall be Christ in them. Every single body is a star shining
forth of Him, or rather a body in and out of whom He shines; and He
is the ocean of power that fills all. And so the words are true,
the Creation, mankind, shall be the fulness of Him that fills all
in all. This is the Church, the great Congregation, that, when the
mystery is completed, shall be the mystical body of Christ, all set
at liberty from inward and outward straits and bondage. And this
is called the holy breathing that made all new by Himself and for
Himself."
