23 The number of the Holy Breath is seven, and God holds in his hands the sevens of time. 24 In forming worlds he rested on the seventh day, and every seventh day is set apart as Sabbath day for men. God said, 25 The seventh is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God; remember it and keep it wholly set apart for works of holiness; that is, for works not for the selfish self, but for the universal self. 26 Men may do work for self upon the six days of the week; but on the Sabbath of the Lord they must do naught for self. 27 This day is consecrated unto God; but man serves God by serving man. CHAPTER 97. _The Sermon on the Mount, continued. Jesus unfolds to the twelve the spiritual aspects of the fifth and sixth Commandments._ God is not force alone; for wisdom is his counterpart. 2 When cherubim instructed man in wisdom’s ways they said that wisdom is the Mother of the race, as force is Father of the race. 3 The man who honors the almighty and omniscient God is blessed, and in the tables of the law we read, 4 Pay homage to your Father and your Mother of the race, that your days may be prolonged upon the land that they have given you. 5 The letter of the law commands; You shall not kill; and he who kills must stand before the judgment seat, 6 A person may desire to kill, yet if he does not kill he is not judged by law. 7 The spirit of the law avers that he who shall desire to kill, or seeks revenge, is angry with a man without sufficient cause, must answer to the judge; 8 And he who calls his brother soulless vagabond shall answer to the council of the just; 9 And he who calls his brother a degenerate, a dog, fans into life the burning fires of hell within himself. 10 Now, in the higher law we read that if your brother is aggrieved by something you have done, before you offer unto God your gifts, go forth and find your brother and be reconciled to him. 11 It is not well to let the sun go down upon your wrath. 12 If he will not be reconciled when you have laid aside all selfish pleas, have waived all selfish rights, you will be guiltless in the sight of God; then go and offer unto God your gifts. 13 If you owe aught to any man and cannot pay; or if a man shall claim a greater sum than is his due, it is not well that you dispute his claims. 14 Resistance is the sire of anger; there is no mercy and no reason in a wrathful man. 15 I tell you it is better far to suffer loss than go to law, or call upon the courts of men to judge of right and wrong. 16 The law of carnal man would say, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth; resist encroachment on your rights. 17 But this is not the law of God. The Holy Breath would say, Resist not him who would deprive you of your goods. 18 He who would take your coat by force is still a brother man and you should gain his heart, which by resistance cannot be done;
