The Scroll of the Rule - Section 2

II. 1 For the men of service that they may instruct and teach all the children of light concerning the nature of all the children of men and the Watchers of Heaven and all the spirits which they possess with their distinctive characters and that which they teach and their works with their classes and the tribulations in which they are distressed together with the times when they are blessed 2 From the God of Knowledge comes all that is and shall be and before people were He established all their visions of created purpose and when they come into being in the flesh they can fulfill their task in accordance with His glorious design for them by seeking diligently to discover their vision of created purpose and by changing nothing within it in His hands are the desires of all that He has created and He upholds them in all their needs it is He who made mankind that they might have dominion over the earth according to the Decrees of Creation 3 And Anokeesed allotted unto mankind spirits at variance and He respects mankind that they should walk in them until their time of probation is ended they are the Spirits of Truth and Perversity the origin of Truth is as a fountain of light who we call Motsah the Lamb and the origin of Perversity is from a fountain of filthiness emanating from the Decadarchiy who live in Senaseol guidance over all the sons of righteousness is in the hand of the Prince of light they walk in His ways of understanding guidance over the sons of perversity is in the hand of the angel of Senaseol and they walk in the ways of his ignorance 4 And because of the watcher of ignorance all the sons of righteousness may choose to be led astray and all their sin and iniquities and faults and all the rebellion of their deeds are because of that which emanates from Senaseol and this is in accordance to the respect Anokeesed has even for the wicked in their use of agency until the end appointed by Him and all the blows that smite them and all the times of their distress are because they have yielded to the dominion of the Decadarchiy and all evil spirits cause the people of understanding to stumble but Anokeesed and His Angel of Truth forgive and restore all the people of faith and understanding 5 Truly all the spirits of mankind were made by Him and the power of agency created the spirits of good and evil and upon these spirits He has founded every work upon their counsels every service and upon their ways every determination of judgment the one God rejoices in everlastingly and delights in all their deeds for ever but the lying counsel of the other He grieves over in all their ways for ever 6 And these are the ways of the Eerkodeshiy in the earth It is of the Spirit of Truth and tranquility that enlightens the heart of mankind and brings them the ways of true righteousness and sets respect in their hearts for the desires of Anokeesed for to Anokeesed belongs the spirit of humility and forbearance of abundant mercy and eternal goodness of understanding and intelligence and vast wisdom with faith in all the works of His Son and trust in His abundant grace and the spirit of knowledge in every design and zeal for just guidance and holy resolution with firm inclination and abundant affection towards all the people of His Right Hand and glorious purification from hatred and the idols of defilement and modesty with universal prudence and discretion concerning the truth of the mysteries of the Kingdom 7 Now understand that the righteous people of Ma’een think of the nature of Anokeesed who created all things to be exactly the same as one would think of a little child and they consider Him to be holy and pure of heart and utterly without capacity to bring harm and they love Him with all the gentle instincts that are given to mankind which cause us to be drawn in our souls to love the helpless baby things of the earth and compassion toward Anokeesed abounds and He is the ultimate being of purity and the infinite wellspring of tender loving kindness and the righteous of Ma’een sorrow at any thought of His disappointment or despair and there could never be a people who could know greater joy in the comfort and well-being of their Father such are the counsels of the Spirit to the people of truth in the earth the Spirit will teach you to be like Him in all these things and as for all who walk in His Spirit it consists of healing and abundant happiness with length of days and fruitfulness and all blessings without end and eternal joy in perpetual life and His glorious love and garments of honor in His everlasting Presence 8 But to the Spirit of Perversity who are the Decadarchiy belongs the spirit of satisfaction of possessions and slackness in the service of righteousness impiety and falsehood pride and haughtiness falsity and deceit vengeance and the heat of anger cruelty and abundant wickedness impatience and much folly and burning lust with insolence and abominable deeds committed in that spirit of lust and the ways of defilement in the service of impurity and a blaspheming tongue blindness of eye and hardness of ear stiffness of neck and heaviness of heart causing the objects of creations to walk in all the ways of darkness loneliness and malignant cunning 9 And as for the consequences of all who walk in the Spirit of Evil it consists of an abundance of misfortune as the Eerkodeshiy respond to the grief of Ma’een and the wicked will experience everlasting dread and shame without end and their share is the disgrace of destruction by fire in the regions of darkness and in all their times from age to age they will experience most sorrowful chagrin and the bitterest misfortune in calamities of darkness till they are destroyed with none of them surviving or escaping all these things for God cannot protect or provide for His children in the face of the consequences of their use of agency for He has given them the freedom to choose their own way 10 In the midst of these two forces walk the generations of all the children of men and into their two divisions all the hosts of heaven are divided from age to age they walk in these two ways and all the reward of their works is by these two forces according to the share of each according to whether they have much or little throughout all ages for God has allotted these two forces to work according to the Decrees of Creation and they have set between them eternal divisions an abomination to Truth are the deeds of Perversity and an abomination to Perversity are all the ways of Truth and enmity sets one against the other on the subject of all their doings for they walk not together and no man can serve two masters 11 But in His understanding and in His glorious wisdom Anokeesed has set an end for the existence of Perversity and at the time of the revealing of the Arm of the Lord He will destroy it forever then Truth shall arise in the world to preside for the world has defiled itself in the ways of wickedness under the teachings of the Decadarchiy even until the time of final Judgment when the Arm of the Father will be revealed when God will reveal by His Truth in the Spirit of loving kindness all the works of every one and He will purify for Himself the expression of virtue of each person in the light of His Presence and it will banish all spirits of Perversity from His people and purify them of all wicked deeds by the Spirit of holiness and Anokeesed will cause the Spirit of Truth to gush forth upon them like lustral water and everything unlike Anokeesed shall come to an end and defilement will end by the Spirit of His Presence the people of His Right Hand will comprehend the Knowledge of the Most High and those who walk in perfection of way will have the understanding of the wisdom of the Watchers of Holiness for God has chosen them for an everlasting Covenant and all the glory of The Man is theirs perversity will exist no more shame upon all the works of deceit! 12 At present the Spirits of Truth and Perversity battle in the hearts of every person for they walk in both wisdom and folly and according to each one’s share of Truth and Righteousness does he grieve over Perversity and according to their portion in the lot of Perversity and in accordance to the wickedness which is in them so do they hold the Truth in disdain 13 For God has allowed these two Spirits to have expression in accordance to the Decrees of Creation until the final end at the time of the renewal of the earth He knows the outcome of their works throughout all ages and He has limited the Spirit of Evil among the sons of men that they may discern between Good and Evil and not be overcome by ignorance this is so that the destiny of every creature may be decreed in accordance with their spirit on the day of Judgment
