#3 Spirit of Prayer - God's warning to Adam

William Law and the Spirit of Prayer...
[Pryr-1.1-11] "Therefore, my Son, be content with thy angelical Nature, be content, as an Angel in Paradise, to eat Angels’ Food, and to rule over this mixed, imperfect, and perishing World, without partaking of its corruptible, impure, and perishing Nature.

Lust not to know how the Animals feel the Evil and Good which this Life affords them; for if Thou couldst feel what they feel, Thou would have to be one of them and since Thou canst not have their Sensibility, unless Thou hast their Nature: thou canst not at the same time be an Angel and an earthly Animal.

If the bestial Life is raised up in Thee, at that  same Instant the heavenly Birth of thy Nature must die within.

English: Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil עברית: חטא עץ הדעת - ד"ר לידיה קוזניצקי (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Therefore turn away thy Lust and Imagination from a Tree of Knowledge as  that can only help Thee to gain  Knowledge of  Good and Evil, that belongs to the Animals of this mundane World. 

The bestial Nature can receive Good or Evil from the Stars and Elements;  but they have no Power,  over that Life which proceeds from those element.

Instead my Son, be content with Angels’ Bread; and in doing so, do not unlock that bestial life and fall into the pit of Slavery for Life.  Once you are   Stripped of thy angelical Garment, you  will have to hide your  Body  in all its Glory, for you will become more naked than any Beast that crawls upon Earth, and you will  be forced to seek refuge from those very Beasts as you will find your skin softer than theirs and will need  a Covering to protect you from them and the elements around you.  Also , you will have to  hide yourself from the Sight of thine own Eyes as you will find yourself repulsive and ugly. 

Soon after that, you will become a  shameful, fearful, sickly, wanting, suffering, Creature and suffer the same speedy Death as does the Dust of the Earth, and the poor Beasts of Burden, because now you are their Brethren."

[Pryr-1.1-12] This Paraphrase I leave to the Reflection of the Reader, and proceed to show,that 

[Pryr-1.1-13] Thirdly, that the Misery, Distress, and the sorrowful Condition, which Adam  brought upon Himself by his Transgression and so onto all of his Posterity,  was not because of the severe vindictive Wrath in God, who called  for Justice to  rectify His impugned  [challenged] Sovereignty and so inflicted pains and Punishments suitable to the offence of his just Indignation.

NO!  It is evident that Adam had nothing  but Overflowing of Love and Goodness from his Heavenly Father and that his Lameness, Blindness and Wretched Sufferings were from nothing but his own voluntary Acts brought upon himself by himself when he did not take the Goodly advice.

#2 Sailing the Glassy Sea

Pryr-1.1-9] "Now Adam,  I will open your eyes to a great Mystery. The heavenly Materiality of the Angels' Kingdom before their Revolt was a glassy Sea, a Mirror of beauteous Forms, Figures, Virtues, Powers, Colors, and Sounds, which were perpetually springing up, appearing and changing in an infinite Variety, to the Manifestation of the Wonders of the Divine Nature, and to the Joy of all the Angelical Kingdom.

This heavenly Materiality had its Fruits and Vegetables, more real than any that grow in Time, but different from the Grossness of the Fruits of this World, as the heavenly Body of an Angel is different from the Body of the grossest Beast upon Earth.


In this angelical Kingdom, there was just one Element (which after the Fall was divided into in four Parts) and that was a fruitful Mother of Wonders, continually bringing forth new Forms and Figures of Life; not Animals, Beasts, or Insects, but beautiful Figures: ideal Forms of the endless Divisibility, and Degrees of Life, which only broke forth as delightful Wonders of the Depth of the Riches of the Divine Nature, and to tune the Voices of Angels with Songs of Praise to the infinite Source of Life.

So Adam, while an endless Variety both of the Animal and Vegetable Life could have sprung up then but now because they are the divided into Parts cannot; No animal Life can rise from solely from the Stars, Air, or Water, but instead need the Remains of that one Element, that I imbued Life with.


This, my Son, is the Source and Original of all that infinite Variety, and Degrees of Life, both of Animals and Vegetables, in this World. This is because all outward Nature, has fallen from Heaven.


[Pryr-1.1-10] "In Heaven, all Births and Growths, all Figures and spiritual Forms of Life, though infinite in Variety, are still a heavenly Kind, and have only so many Manifestations of the Goodness, Wisdom, Beauty, and Riches of the Divine Nature.

But now in this new modeled Chaos, where the Disorders  raised by Lucifer are not wholly removed, and where Evil and Good stand together in Strife, until the last purifying Fire appears, here every Kind and Degree of Life, like the World from whence it springs, is a Mixture of Good and Evil in its Birth and which is what you cannot tell.
