simpel gras 1

H. Blumenfeld

It was in the month of Thevet [dec.-jan.]... 

when the earth was covered with shoots of young grass after the rains, and the covering of emerald green was tender as the fine down [dons] of a baby chick. 

And it was on a bright sun-filled morning that Jesus gathered the new Brothers of the Elect round about Him, that they might hear with their ears and understand with their hearts the teachings of their fathers, even as [net zoals] it was taught to Enoch of old.

And Jesus sat beneath a gnarled and ancient tree, holding in His hands a small earthen pot. And in the pot was growing tender grass of wheat, the most perfect among all seedbearing herbs. And the tender grass within the pot was radiant with life, even as [net als] the grass and plants which covered the hills far into the distant fields and beyond. And Jesus stroked the grass in the pot with the hands, even as [net zo] gently as He would touch the head of a little child.

And Jesus said: 

"Happy are you, Sons of Light, for you have entered into the deathless way, and you walk in the path of truth, even as did your fathers of old, who were taught by the Great Ones. 

With the eyes and ears of the spirit do you see and hear the sights and sounds of the Kingdom of the Earthly Mother: the blue sky, where dwells the Angel of Air, the foaming river, where flows the Angel of Water, the golden light, which streams from the Angel of Sun. 

And I tell you truly: all these are within you as well as without. For your breath, your blood, the fire of life within you, all are one with the Earthly Mother.

But of all these, and more... 

that most precious gift of your Earthly Mother is the grass beneath your feet. 

Even that grass which you tread upon without thought. 

Humble and meek [bescheiden,zachtmoedig,zachtzinnig,gedwee] is the Angel of Earth, for she has no wings to fly, nor golden rays of light to pierce [doorboren] the mist. 

But great is her strength and vast is her domain, for she covers the earth with her power, and without her the Sons of Men would be no more, for no man can live without the grass, the trees and the plants of the Earthly Mother. And these are the gifts of the Angel of Earth to the Sons of Men.

But now I will speak to you of mysterious things... 

for I tell you truly, the humble grass is more than food for man and beast. 

It hides its glory beneath a lowly aspect, as it was told of a ruler of old that he visited the villages of his subjects disguised as a beggar, knowing they would tell many things to such a one, but would fall down in fear before their King. 

So does the humble grass hide its glory under its coat of humble green, and the Sons of Men walk on it, plough it, feed it to their beasts, but know not what secrets are hidden within it, even those secrets of everlasting life in the heavenly kingdoms.

-

But the Sons of Light will know what lies hidden in the grass. 

For it is given to them to bring comfort to the Sons of Men. 

Even so are we taught by the Earthly Mother with this little handful of wheat in a simple pot, even the same earthen pot you use to drink milk and gather the honey of bees. Now the pot is filled with black soil rich with old leaves and moist with the dew of morning, even that most precious gift of the Angel of Earth.

And I did moisten [bevochtigde] a handful of wheat, that the Angel of Water entered into it. The Angel of Air did also embrace it, and the Angel of Sun, and the power of the three Angels awakened also the Angel of Life within the wheat, and sprout and root were born in each grain.

Then I put the awakened wheat into the soil of the Angel of Earth, and the power of the Earthly Mother and all her Angels entered into the wheat, and when the sun had risen four times, the grains had become grass. I tell you truly, there is no greater miracle than this.
