A Portion Of Time
[QUOTING]
Read, O children of the Unborn Years, and absorb the wisdom of the past, which is your heritage. The enlightening words from the past, which is to you, in days so far away and yet, in Truth, so near.
We are taught that we live forever, and this is true, but it is equally true that no moment of life must be wasted; for each hour and day on Earth is a shaping for the future. We are the inheritors of a portion of time, we can dissipate it on futile things or utilize it to our everlasting benefit.
In the days of our fathers, before barren teachings clogged the thoughts of men, and vain formal ritual built a wall which obscured Understanding, men walked in the light of the Truth. Then they knew that there was One God alone, but because they allowed their higher abilities to fall into disuse, they saw less clearly. Because He appeared in different aspects, they thought He was many.
Now, in our days, God has many varied forms in the eyes of men and each declares he alone knows the true name and likeness of God. Here all men fall into error, though all have spoken truly according to their understanding. But Truth can never bow to the limited understanding of man, the comprehension of man must expand to grasp it.
From "Chapter 3 - Flood of Atuma" Book of Gleanings - The Kolbrin
