Book of Inspiration, chapter 11 (adapted)

1 Do not go out seeking to spread My teachings or draw others to follow this or that path, says Jehovih.

2 Neither should you attempt to entice others by declaring, “Thus speaks the Great Spirit!”

3 Let each person hear Me in the way that is best for their heart to understand.

4 No one shall follow the steps of another blindly.

5 I do not desire divided groups or tribes set apart in conflict.

6 I will not impose any creed or belief by force.

7 I am not for one people alone but I walk with all My living creations.

8 To those who walk with Me, living in the light of their highest truth, I am a shield against the shadows, a refuge from strife and wrongdoing.

9 Do not try to bind My truth in the laws of men or the governance of their councils, says the Great Spirit.

10 Nor should you proclaim any of man’s books or writings to be My law, saying, “Behold, this is the Word of the Great Spirit.”

11 It has been a great task to keep man from controlling his brothers and sisters.

12 Teaching man to understand the ways of freedom, especially in thought and knowledge, has been no small labor.

13 For man easily falls under the pull of his surroundings, bending to the teachings and voices of others.

14 He comes from My hand into this world innocent, a child without strength.

15 His elder brothers and sisters often take his innocence, filling him with their own knowledge instead of guiding him to Me.

16 Yet those who teach are themselves in darkness, as were their ancestors before them.

17 I have spoken to man: Be free! Learn the ways of liberty! Think for yourself! See the Creator in all things and within yourself most deeply!

18 Turn away from the paths of your elders when they lead astray; drink from the Highest Source of all life.

19 Do not let heavy words confuse your spirit; keep your thoughts clear and strong. Study the Creator’s works and His creation, for in these is all you need.

20 You are a seed of Jehovih, planted by His Hand. Stand free and unbound from things that belong to the world.
